Non-Key Tweets

[Chin Diesel]

This adds nothing new in terms of what’s out there.

No, but it's a mostly positive article which articulates UConn's draw to the Big12, the concern of football and the UConn fan base's concerns.

If people are going to trot out the same tired arguments against UConn, I'm all for the same positives being put out there.

That picture perfectly sums up how Yormack wants to expand the Big12.

But that’s their choice. Back before 1973, a kid signed a scholarship and he was stuck. At least now the walk-ons know they have an uphill battle to climb.

Of course. But the portal has just made it easier for kids to choose not to wait to see if they will crack the lineup at a school like Michigan, when they can go to Northwestern and see the field.

I'm suggesting that while the top remains the top, it's not a coincidence that Cinci and TCU made the playoffs in recent years. That helps UConn compete.

Streaming is the way of the future but currently the streaming model is broken.

TV’s streaming model is broken. It’s also not going away. For Hollywood, figuring that out will be a horror show.

It's only broken for some. For others it's a cash cow. How a person feels about the model probably highly correlates to where they stand on the financial side of it.

The problem Hollywood has is the shear amount of competition for entertain. Too many crap ideas are funded and the audience is as fickle and niche as ever. Finding your audience is hard. Making economical winning tv is hard too and really the name of the game ahead. It’s got to pencil.

Do we need to separate the "non key tweets" thread into "key non-key tweets" and "non-key non-key treats?" Would that reduce confusion?

It’s a beautiful mess and I vote to make no changes. Yes the travelers in these two lanes bounce guardrail to guardrail and sometimes we are in the wrong lanes- but it’s never too too long.

True. Which is why in part, live sports is almost bullet proof to all these other trends and other attention grabbers. Fans of a streaming show know they can consume it on their timeframe. Sports fans will prioritize major sporting events and schedule their day or weekend around it.

Not the worst idea i heard today.

I suggest a new thread called "Semi-key tweets."

Tweets are like pregnancy. You're either pregnant or you're not. Same for tweets. Key or non-key only.

Chin, I think the possibility exists for there to be a stray non-key key tweet and there can easily be a few key non-key tweets.

The question is if we view tweets as being key or non-key due to the author, we are disregarding whether the content is also key or non-key. Some may call what we have organized chaos but that is merely a term to pretend you have control over something that you have in fact lost control of.

Then, my friend, you have heard some bad ideas today.

I’m giving that a like because, until the caffeine gets to my brain, I can’t even follow that. Meaning it’s probably brilliant!

Absolutely. Woody Hayes if OSU and Bo Schembechler of UofM would take kids just do the other Big10 schools wouldn’t have them. It’s why the 10 year war between Bo and Woody took place.

While they’re some big negatives like the top schools courting the top players (GT’s Jahmyr Gibbs going to Alabama for his last year), most kids can go where they want and it forces coaches to treat them better while giving the players some control over their situation.

USF is on the rise. New $340 mill stadium approved. And this is a program which is playing in an NFL stadium probably 7 miles from campus as the crow flies and is now AAU. Imagine UCF and USF both making more bank than FSU and Miami.

How much will new USF football stadium help in conference realignment?

Both FSU and Miami make over $100 million in revenue. Doubt they ever get on that level.

USF doesn’t have the base UCF has, but just like at most east coast schools, you have no chance to fill the stands if you lose all the time. UCF was a dumpster fire not too long ago and they turned around overnight when Frost came to town. Their fan base is very fragile. It would be gone in a second and if they stunk.

UConn has a real fan base based on 35 years of championship basketball and a good run in the a Big East in football. The depth of the fan base and age range of it is underrated. That happens when you win championships in 4 straight decades.

Do you have a source for those numbers?

From a television analyst @ESPN and @FoxSports are not in the least interested in the entire #Pac12, but they are both EXTREMELY interested in their top teams eventually going to the P5, err... P4!!

Let's not overlook the fact that a big part of USF's need for this stadium is the fact that these cavernous NFL stadiums provide a terrible college football atmosphere when they are more than half empty for teams like USF. The Rent had a great game day atmosphere when we were in the old Big East football conference and that electric atmosphere will return if we are invited to the B12.
