We are beer and we are legion!

Look I'm hyped for what's going on but there's still a handful of contingencies and we are hoping for an odd numbered break. From the game theory of it if I'm the b12 schools I wait until the pac signs something that binds them

Uconn is waiting until that contract gets signed. They have no rush to come after us and if they get an even number of what are, sadly, better options.

Besides. Beer and bbq is tastier than Husky. :)

If we knew for certain that we weren't getting an invite, I would think that AD David Benedict would have jumped out in front of it and said we were committed to the Big East and our east coast identity or something along those lines.

The real fear in all of this is that we think we're in a good position but are really just being used to force someone elses hand. Because that's happened enough now that we should know better.

I don't think Benedict would have to come out and say anything because he didn't act like SDSU did - UConn has been very professional and discreet.

Of course there's the fear we're just being used, but I think Benedict would be able to navigate this process from a position of relative strength and would be respected by Yormark such that we're not a sime pawn. Even if we don't get an invite this go around, it doesn't mean we're being used. That's an emotional thought/feeling that some might have if we're not picked but it doesn't mean it really went down that way.

There's no real gain in using us. What? To get a little bit more realignment hype in the NY media?

They will take an odd number of pac members. They probably don't want to make it work but they will.

I just don't see the value in the Big12 taking small, private/catholic basketball only schools. Just don't see it when they can add all sports state universities with bigger fan bases, etc.

Idk. I think if UConn were to get into the B12 it opens the door for Big East teams. The conference seems to be high on basketball. So why not add valuable basketball without hurting football?

Gross. Mustard based sauces are from the Devil. Not all KC BBQ sauces are sweet, mostly that's just the supermarket crap. Gates and Arthur Bryant aren't sweet.

Carolina BBQ blows. It's all about KC and Texas.
 
no hate to these schools at all, I love Big East basketball I watched every game I could even when we weren't in the conference, with that being they are not anywhere near the discussion for B12 expansion anymore they don't provide much at all, a school like Villanova would have to take a leap from the FCS to the FBS and play a good while if they even want to be talked about for expansion football matters alot, UConn has a football team who was at the very least okay in a P5/BCS conference back in the 2000s and early 2010s, you literally cannot say the same for any school in the Big East now, let's stop acting like they have a chance to move with us.

Well clearly Golf Course Guy wasn't just blowing smoke, he had a credible source who knew something would likely go down this week, hopefully the rug doesn't get pulled out from underneath us at the last second.

Say your prayers before you go to bed tonight.

That would be damn fun. And if it holds, the Phil Knight BB tournament last fall was a bit of a preview....maybe even helped plant some seeds.

Yes that would be an amazing conference to be part of for football and basketball.

Crickets coming out of UConn. My guess is they were told to button up as there was a lot of speculation out there with a lot of people earmarking UConn to B12 without the formal invite (sure both UConn and B12 weren’t happy about it). Is this a good thing? Time will tell.

You must have never had properly smoked brisket.

I have, and after trying it, I wondered why I would have brisket when I can just have the far superior pot roast.
