Looking at real estate in Michigan.

I hear Detroit is in a Renaissance and quite affordable.

Only if you are hipster with out kids. DPS schools are not quite up to par. Private schools in Michigan are not cheap.

Speaking of Marshall Mathers, he was the guest of guest host Steven Colbert on a Monroe, Michigan cable access channel show, Only in Monroe. How this happened, I really don't know.

Must remember…this info comes from somebody who’s employment puts him in a B1G (non-decision maker)…who passes along current B10 perceptions

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 48m48 minutes ago
Last dinner with friend/source was April 17th. Check my Timeline of April 17 if need..info is still a “live wire” with exception of Missouri

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 47m47 minutes ago
Big Ten’s current perception on MIZZOU is they will be in the SEC for over 100 years. The door is closed.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 45m45 minutes ago
But if you check April 17th timeline - B10 Man discussed the real B1G targets of 15/16 being OU/KU. So, this is what was said to me tonight

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 44m44 minutes ago
First, B10 perceptions, the B12 (as was said April 17th) is not stable….not a shocker with Boren’s recent statements in the background

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 43m43 minutes ago
But the B10 does not believe the B12 will get stable….it is almost impossible….there is only 1 route to B12 stability.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 40m40 minutes ago
The pathway toward stability for B12 is to expand to 12 - big markets and large schools 1st importance - fan bases size and academics - 2nd

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 39m39 minutes ago
2nd step toward stability is the creation of the B12N. Expansion won’t create stability alone.This why Boren brought up LHN being a failure.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 38m38 minutes ago
Tonight I’m not going to waste time discussing the high value of a Conf Net - either believe in it or not at this point-Boren is a believer.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 38m38 minutes ago
Before I get into what the B1G believes what they have to do to acquire OU/KU years out from now….lets 1st discuss B12 expansion

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 35m35 minutes ago
B10 perception of B12 expansion is it is going to happen period.Sooner rather than later.High probability of next year-ready 2017 FB season

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 33m33 minutes ago
Now this is where it gets very interesting.B10 perception(which could be wrong of course)is coming from this at a different angle than most.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 32m32 minutes ago
Because of B12 situation with their contracts -with different factions being for/against expansion -11/12 will be a compromise choice.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 32m32 minutes ago
Especially…..now get this…..especially between ESPN & FOX. According to “Big Ten Man” there is no way in hell both 11/12 come from the East.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 30m30 minutes ago
ESPN will not allow it..not happening.ESPN would be willing to “support” 1 new Eastern B12 school.but not 2.Big Ten Man very strong on this

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 30m30 minutes ago
ESPN does not want FOX to increase their P5 stock in the Eastern portion of the United States. FOX has some stock in WVU-RUT-UMD-PSU…

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 28m28 minutes ago
ESPN wants to limit “FOX schools/content” in the East,even if its shared content in some form/manner with ESPN.ESPN will stop 2 Eastern adds

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 28m28 minutes ago
So what does it mean? Look for ESPN to Champion Cincinnati over UCF. Look for FOX to champion UCF over Cincinnati...FOX already in Ohio

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 27m27 minutes ago
FOX is already in state of Ohio in P5 content…so ESPN would have no problem a CINCY addition to B12. FOX wants to get into Florida with UCF.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 26m26 minutes ago
“B10 Man” says B10 perception is FOX will get their 1st choice & UCF will become #11 for the B12 & ESPN and Texas will choose #12-compromise

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 25m25 minutes ago
B10 perception UT will try to let out a little steam in pot of boiling water by finally agreeing to B12 expansion. But UT/ESPN choose 12.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 24m24 minutes ago
Keep this in mind before I pass along what the B10 perception is on what UT/ESPN will do with 12. Texas is not choosing 12 based upon a B12N

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 24m24 minutes ago
Texas and ESPN will not throw in LHN in the dumpster…they may change it a bit if they bolt to ACC/PAC in future…but not put LHN in dumpster.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 23m23 minutes ago
According to B10 perceptions they believe Houston or BYU will be 12. B10 at this moment says Houston has inside track to 12. Why?

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 23m23 minutes ago
For 1 reason:Because of internal state politics…UT politicians can gain GIANT IOU’s in the state legislature if it deals in Houston at B12.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 21m21 minutes ago
According to B10 perception its wildly known the SECN/TAMU has gutted the B12 from the Houston/ Metro…this is also a BIG + for UH inception.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 20m20 minutes ago
ESPN will fight for Houston….but ESPN is also close with BYU….but Texas politics make UH a slight favorite for 12….less headache.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 19m19 minutes ago
UT is not looking to create B12N…not going to happen. UH fulfills what UT/ESPN is looking at out West…

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 18m18 minutes ago
ESPN not concern with FOX gaining “stock” in Houston....as they would be in FOX gaining "stock" in Memphis-Tulane-New Orleans-ect

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 18m18 minutes ago
So now what happens?….with an expanded B12 to 12 schools (UCF+Houston or BYU) but without a B12N? Instability in B12 is what happens

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 18m18 minutes ago
B10 is already talking with Kansas & Oklahoma….every once in a while….these discussions are happening. SEC is talking with OU all-the-time!

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 17m17 minutes ago
This is the reality. B10 has a “long road to hoe” in acquiring KU/OU but it has taken first steps.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 16m16 minutes ago
The content and value of the next B1G Basketball contract with CBS/ESPN-2017 is HUGE...HUGE...when it comes to KU-B1G possible marriage.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 15m15 minutes ago
B10 will try to convince KU not to redo its 3rd Tier Contract with ESPN in 2021/22. If KU opts for FOX or another option in 2022…LOOK OUT!

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 15m15 minutes ago
This is what the B10 is focusing on…..working on a platform/contract/exposure/BTN which will elevate KU BB Value into even bigger heights.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 15m15 minutes ago
If KU does not re-up with ESPN on 3rd tier….this gives the signal to OU and everyone that KU is ready to jump to B1G in 2024-25.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 14m14 minutes ago
B10 needs to get KU to get OU….KU addition will bolster getting OU. KU is the “turn-key”. Not just for OU but for B1G Presidents-acceptance

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 13m13 minutes ago
Yep, were still talking 9-10 years out except B10 perception if UT bolts to ACC/INDY/PAC the GOR gets destroyed by pure inertia.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 12m12 minutes ago
B10 believes Boren’s comments about LHN failure - mocking UT on not giving it up….is a message from OU to UT to go ahead and bolt-were fine.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 11m11 minutes ago
It’s almost if…from a B10 perception….OU is telling UT nothing will ever again be cool between us b/c we want different environments.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 11m11 minutes ago
So what do we have from a Big 10 perspective?
1)Big 12 will expand next year.
2)Big 12 will expand with UCF/Houston (or BYU)

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 10m10 minutes ago
3)Big 12 can’t create B12N (Texas-LHN)...even with additional markets.
4)No sugar daddy to create/support B12N without Texas content

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 10m10 minutes ago
5)B10 talking with OU/KU…thinking they have a shot at both…but need KU to say bye to ESPN 2022 first…OU taking B1G option seriously....

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 9m9 minutes ago
6)SEC will go after OU aggressively. SEC is frontrunner for OU only if Boren does not take steps to insert PRO-B1G next OU President.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 6m6 minutes ago
7)B1G believes Boren and KU are close..relationship is tight. Both give each other coverage in any package deal. Everybody wants them

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 5m5 minutes ago
8)B12 will stay P5 even if it implodes w/o KU/OU or even UT. Why? It has to do with Autonomy rules and other stuff-Tomorrow explanation

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 9h9 hours ago
I know I'm going to regret this but here goes. Hopefully the late hour will keep too many from seeing it.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 9h9 hours ago
if the B12 were to be forced toexpand tomorrow the two in would be BYU & UCONN.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 9h9 hours ago
Why? UCONN would add good NCAA tourney points. BYU the same plus good football.

Kyle Jacobson ‏@_KyleJacobson · 9h9 hours ago
@theDudeofWV Throwing geography to the wind I suppose?

Christopher Lambert
‏@theDudeofWV @_KyleJacobson I said right now. Harmless because it's not happening.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 9h9 hours ago
@BC_BigChris My point was that right now they would add the most value. Not nearly enough to
Happen.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 9h9 hours ago
UCONN would also add NY market for a potential B12N.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 9h9 hours ago
Before you yell at me UCONN would add the NY market because the B12 doesn't have Rutgers.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 9h9 hours ago
Neither would add $ but the B12 would be close to breaking even.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 9h9 hours ago
Let me stress that B12 expansion isn't likely for 3 to 5 more years if at all. Things can change & usually do.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 9h9 hours ago
@BC_BigChris Nobody is for it. Even OU. Who would they add.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 9h9 hours ago
@BRACRB ESPN isn't pushing expansion. Where did you hear that?

Kenneth Buchana ‏@WVUno1 · 14h14 hours ago
@theDudeofWV are you paying attention to what flugaur is putting out there??

Christopher Lambert
‏@theDudeofWV @WVUno1 Why? I can read fair tales of my own.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 9h9 hours ago
Look people. Nobody is joining the B12 & nobody is leaving the B12. Let's just enjoy Astros football until CFB starts

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 9h9 hours ago
@BC_BigChris Yea. How many times have I said no expansion for the B12 unless they add money? That hasn't changed.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 9h9 hours ago
@BC_BigChris I'm not sure why people don't understand that Boren's revelation about TV contract was more damning than if it wasn't true.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 9h9 hours ago
@BC_BigChris If it's not clear by now the Big 12 doesn't want to add a G5 school then I don't know what to say.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 9h9 hours ago
@BC_BigChris The Big 12 wants to add FSU. They won't get the chance.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 9h9 hours ago
@_KyleJacobson Don't you think the B12 threw the geography book out when it invited WVU.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 9h9 hours ago
@BC_BigChris Did you know Swofford was in favor of adding WVU? Point being the presidents decide.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 9h9 hours ago
@_KyleJacobson Do you really think WVU cares about a FB game in Cincy every other year? Or an annual hoops game?

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 9h9 hours ago
@_KyleJacobson WVU doesn't want Cincy. They wouldn't vote for Cincy.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 9h9 hours ago
@_KyleJacobson consider this. If the B12 expands WVU loses a home game Every year with either OU or UT.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 9h9 hours ago
@_KyleJacobson Do you want to trade that home game with OU or UT for a bridge going thru Cincy?

Kyle Jacobson ‏@_KyleJacobson · 8h8 hours ago
@theDudeofWV Better question: is WV willing to vote to kill the conference because they're upset they don't get UT or OU at home every year?

Christopher Lambert
‏@theDudeofWV @_KyleJacobson Why would that kill the conf.? You want to doom the conf add 2 schools that don't add value.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 8h8 hours ago
@_KyleJacobson Iowa State, KU, KSU would vote against it as well.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 8h8 hours ago
@_KyleJacobson There is no reason for the Big 12 to expand by adding 2 schools that don't meet minimum metrics. Nothing has changed.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 8h8 hours ago
@BC_BigChris WhAts wrong with 10 if they can have a CCG?

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 8h8 hours ago
@_KyleJacobson All these idiots saying OU or UT wants out forget about the GoR.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 8h8 hours ago
@BC_BigChris Conf will go away if no expansion. GoR 2025

 

[Adios]

Well, it makes just as much sense based on reality and the wishes, strategies and decisions of all parties to come up with this football conference if we are all predicating things on just geography and history:

UConn
UMass
Temple
Lehigh
Stony Brook
Rhode Island
Maine
New Hampshire

That makes for a nice geographically sensible conference with some past, shared history. I guess that some people might "like" to see that one, too.

It has no basis in reality or the status, decisions and desires of UConn. But hey, there are no rules in fantasy land, right?

Of course, it won't happen.

How the heck could you leave out Lafayette? And Stevens Tech??

 

[CL82]

First axiom of CR as it applies to UConn perpetuated if you are to believe this train of thought.

Well I don't but in many ways, if the AAC is to lose two teams, UCF and Houston probably hurts us less than if we lose both Fla schools. Losing Cinci makes us even more of an outlier.

 

[CTMike]

Dear Dude, we were a power school before the concept of this P5/G5 nonsense. You are in no way our "better". Go sit on a cactus.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago
I've written something important about the Big 12, expansion & rumors of discontent. Saving it for Monday.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago
@_KyleJacobson Do not include me in any conversations with that roundball guy or Fulgar.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago
@_KyleJacobson Because if I want fantasy I'll read Frank Herbert or GRRM instead of those pieholes.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 37m37 minutes ago
@rclay6297 Anybody who says anything about anybody leaving the Big 12 needs to first answer how the GoR is circumvented.

Richard Clay ‏@rclay6297 · 2h2 hours ago
@theDudeofWV another tweeter/B12 said OU talking to SEC.Says they would be interested if OSU and OU were in SEC west..R B12 teams gonna stay

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 38m38 minutes ago
@rclay6297 If it's Flugar saying this I can publish three years of emails between the two of us showing exactly how off the wall he is....

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 37m37 minutes ago
@rclay6297 Emails where time and time again I advised him what he was saying was wrong.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 36m36 minutes ago
@rclay6297 The fact is that any B12 school would jump at the chance to go SEC. But they can't until 2025.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 36m36 minutes ago
@rclay6297 The fact is that any school in any conf would join the SEC if offered. That includes tOSU, Michigan and ND.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 36m36 minutes ago
@rclay6297 Hold people accountable. Especially me.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 17m17 minutes ago
Me? I'm just tired of people not thinking. Why in the hell do 4 of the 5 P5 confs have a GoR? Ask yourself that?

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 13m13 minutes ago
Why do people think the GoR can be overcome? The SEC doesn't recruit schools. They listen.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 13m13 minutes ago
They held off adding TAMU until a replacement was found for them because they wanted to avoid a lawsuit by Baylor.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 12m12 minutes ago
So do you really think the SEC would add any B12 school only to be tied up in courts for a decade?

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 12m12 minutes ago
Plus the departing schools rights would be held by the Big 12.

 

[Seaa Blue]

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 36m36 minutes ago
@rclay6297 The fact is that any school in any conf would join the SEC if offered. That includes tOSU, Michigan and ND.

Speechless, but this came to mind...

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can hurt you somehow

The saving grace is that nobody has ever cleanly predicted the next move...
The less uconn is mentioned the better...

I hope.

Notre Dame and Michigan wanting in the SEC, that'll be the day.

Yeah whats next? RU,PSU and UConn to the Pac12 for eastern markets? lol..

 

[Ldandy]

The Dude has truly gone off the reservation. Its hilarious to watch him project his true desires for WVU onto other schools that are in no way, shape, or form in the same situation as The Neers. While The Dude would give his best sheep for an SEC Invite, UM's President would laugh the entire time The SEC's Rep dragged his ass back to Dixie. What a total clown shoe. At least we knows that he's reading The BY, as he's gone back to promoting UCONN for a spot despite Big 12 Expansion being completely out of the question. Its going to be fun to watch him spin when Cincy and UCF are announced as conference members next year.

 

[Exit 4]

Piggish Texas politics will prevent the B12 from adding teams in the right markets to build a competitive revenue model vs other conferences over the next 20 years. And even if they do add two or four teams at this time, I still think Texas, OU and Kansas will be pondering a 2023 notice for a 2025 exit. Structurally there is nothing the B12 can do, short of a wholesale change in the culture of UT, to change the inherent instability of their smallish footprint and divided LHN/Fox contract. The diverging forces at play look a bit like the BE before total breakdown.

ICYMI : What if an ACC Network doesn't happen? :

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago
@TalkinACCSports Jeffery. B12 discontent isn't real. It's manufactured. Big 12 is waiting on ESPN & ACCN.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago
@TalkinACCSports The Big 12 wants FSU. OU wants FSU in the Big 12. So does WVU.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago
@TalkinACCSports There is > 90% chance that FSU is a B12 member by 2018 if ACCN doesn't drop.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago
@TalkinACCSports There is also 0% chance that ESPN passes on the ACCN.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago
@TalkinACCSports Because without FSU their ACC investment until 2027 is worthless.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 48m48 minutes ago
@TalkinACCSports What if UT caved & the Big 12 convinced ESPN to morph LHN into a B12N?

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 47m47 minutes ago
@TalkinACCSports Because that's necessary for the Big 12 to expand with anyone.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 47m47 minutes ago
@TalkinACCSports UT loses money in the short term but secures the future of the Big 12 by doing so.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 46m46 minutes ago
@TalkinACCSports Based on my convos UT wants the Big 12 to last. They don't want to play in the pacific time zones & they don't want B1G.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 46m46 minutes ago
@TalkinACCSports It's looking more & more like its going to be either the ACC or Big 12 survive. The Big 12's GoR is valid. I'm certain.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 46m46 minutes ago
@TalkinACCSports Because each school was paid $6M for signing it & it was a condition of the new TV deal which pays them over market value.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 45m45 minutes ago
@TalkinACCSports Many people think Boren's comments were a statement of OU's dissatisfaction.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 45m45 minutes ago
@TalkinACCSports I'm told his statements were a warning to UT that if the Big 12 is to be healthy & endure they need a CN & to expand.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 44m44 minutes ago
@TalkinACCSports And I would bet my life that the Big 12 has their sights on FSU and perhaps Clemson. That's "informed" insight.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 44m44 minutes ago
@TalkinACCSports But one big gamble for both the ACC & Big 12.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 45m45 minutes ago
@KilroyFSU @TalkinACCSports The ACC has a huge footprint but NC saturation & 7 private schools.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 45m45 minutes ago
@KilroyFSU @TalkinACCSports At least 4 of those private schools have serious financial problems athletically.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 44m44 minutes ago
@KilroyFSU @TalkinACCSports The real mystery is the ACC grant of rights.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 44m44 minutes ago
@KilroyFSU @TalkinACCSports Everyone says it's valid officially but they are terrified of what happens if ESPN doesn't pick it up by 2017.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 43m43 minutes ago
@KilroyFSU @TalkinACCSports Long term... the Big 12 is being paid a premium with a small footprint. 4 schools have 80% of value.

 

[noeynox]

Wonder what 4 schools have that value? Texas, OU, Kansas and who?

 

[FfldCntyFan]

I like that he stated WVU also wants FSU as we all know the B-12 would not add FSU if WVU wasn't on board with it.

 

[Ldandy]

Everybody knows that all Big 12 decisions must go through the hills of WV for approval. LOL. I wouldn't be surprised if at The Big 12's annual meetings Texas didn't make WVU listen from outside in the hall. "Stay outside junior, adults are talking in here."

It's July 5th, 2015. The Astros are in 1st place, the B12 isn't expanding & UT & OU are not leaving. That is all....

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 5h5 hours ago
@Expansion_Crush I can't talk about it. The "risk" is to great.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 5h5 hours ago
@Expansion_Crush I'm confident that WV is too valuable to outside the P5 under any circumstances.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 5h5 hours ago
WVU has too many friends in high places at ESPN, Alabama, Tenn., FSU, Clemson etc to ever be in danger. They straddle two major markets too.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 5h5 hours ago
@Expansion_Crush Go back to what Clemson Prez Clements said about WVU: "I will always look out for WVU."

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 5h5 hours ago
@Expansion_Crush "I will always look out for WVU, now and in the future. - Clements said.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 5h5 hours ago
@SeanboSengo No. I think the message is to UT. Fold LHN into the B12N or the Big 12's future expires 2025.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 5h5 hours ago
@SeanboSengo Look... OU signed the GoR, the TV contract & the By laws. Their board approved it. They knew what was in it & took the money.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 5h5 hours ago
@SeanboSengo Boren's comments most likely had a little heat from the UL disaster. The Big 12 was supposed to add both WVU & UL. UT balked.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 4h4 hours ago
@SeanboSengo But I think the real reason for Boren's statement was boosters. They can't blame Stoops so they blame the Big 12.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 5h5 hours ago
@SeanboSengo When OU's true problem is somehow they have underperformed with the talent they have. OU wins & all is right with the world.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 4h4 hours ago
@SeanboSengo You could say 9 members of the Big 12 have a problem with no network.

 

[Ldandy]

The Dood really needs to stop. I didn't think he could look any dumber than he already has, but looks like he did it again. I cant wait for the epic battle between The ACC led by Clemson and The SEC Superfriends over the rights to WVU. God knows neither have ever had the opportunity to land this colossus in the past. I mean they do straddle two major markets. Critter Holler, and Moonshine Gulch.

UT, OU & WVU are committed to the conference long term.

Seriously, this might be the most unintentionally hilarious thing he's ever posted. Anyone notice this tweet? He's basically implying West Virginia is a cornerstone of the league. Putting him in the same stanza as Texas and Oklahoma is brutal comedy.

 

[don356]

If Fla. St. goes anywhere, it will be the B10 for obviou$ reasons. I'm sure it would be difficult to not partner with Wv, but they will get thru it. At the rate the dud is going, he will either get wv booted out of the big 12, or cause the conference to disband. He does realize they have been an also ran their entire time in the b12?

For 1 reason:Because of internal state politics…UT politicians can gain GIANT IOU’s in the state legislature if it deals in Houston at B12.

@flugempire definitely not the case. Uh is a nobody politically, not even among top 5 public power in Texas

@TexasRoundball @flugempire Dude, you need to do a recount. Don't let your bias get in the way of reality. UH grads make 35% of Legislatre

Mike ‏@UHFan79 · 36m36 minutes ago
@TexasRoundball @flugempire That's 2nd most in legislature. With some 180 members UH has around 60. No way we get cut short like in 92 scam.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 31m31 minutes ago

If it is I understand "Big Ten Man"comments on UH

Whew! I'm sure UT and OU are relieved that WVU doesn't have a realtor under contract.
