Non-Key Tweets

In addition to football record, football attendance is another category that it appears only UConn has struggled with in recent seasons. Cincinnati (Yes! That same Cincinnati that has been written in "ink" from the get-go) averaged 28K in 2014 season. They go to bowl games every year. UCF played in front of friends and family last year (winless seasons will that), Memphis uses curtains at home games and really only has sold tickets in the last 1-2 years (thanks to a NFL QB), and Houston has had their struggles selling tickets to the point that their football coach has pleaded with fans to buy tickets and they have to run a "HTownTakeover" campaign...in their own home market.

Yes, UConn football attendance has been down in recent years. We all know the reasons why. But it's not like all of our G5 competition draws well (exception: BYU). They are all in the same attendance sphere as UConn and they have all enjoyed recent winning seasons. Maybe UConn is held to a higher standard because we've already played BCS era football? Or maybe there is a bit of a double-standard used in national media when it comes to justifying their anti-UConn sentiment.

Facts seem not to mean anything for other teams.

You're probably a a little bit right about this. The other "basketball schools" (Kansas, Kentucky, Duke, UNC, Arizona, Indiana, Syracuse, etc) are already grandfathered in the P5 - so nobody cares about their records or attendance struggles.

How about this, no more Dude tweets. He's not an insider. He doesn't even have his full wits about him. And it's making me uncomfortable to see people making fun of his picture. The guy knows nothing. He's playing pretend. Let's let it go.

You read my mind. His entertainment value has worn off. Give his tweets their own Lunatic Ravings thread to make it easier to skip over his nonsense.

Hence his placement in "Non-Key Tweets"...

That's why they make the arrow down key... just skip them - but for most, its like you people on the highway when there is a tangled mess of cars, you slow down and look even though you may see something you may not want to see ;)

Problem is Dude's tweets get lumped into the same post with Flug's many times. Otherwise, in full agreement with you.

Between Gresh, Joe D, Terzi, Joe Zone, Kevin Nathan, CT sure does have a fine collection of uninformed and ignorant journalists!

It's really pathetic. I wish I could be that bad at my job and still be employed.

Why is UConn's president Susan Herbst talking up the University of Cincinnati (UC) academics. Shouldn't she be talking up UConn???

Is there anyway to do Football and basketball (men's and women's)?

Hopefully UConn doesn't lose out because of an unwillingness to be creative and try and require useless sports like soccer, baseball, every other women's sport must be included
Expand ...

It would be odd to force soccer on the Big 12 since they don't have a league. Should win every year tho.
 
Good point. Smart on their part not to throw money on a useless sport like that. But you get my point, don't have an all or nothing ultimatum for these non-revenue sports.

I suspect if the B12 offered us admission with FB and BB only, we'd accept that in about two seconds and worry about finding homes for olympic sports later.

Can we as a state come together and stop trying to make UCONN football a thing?#ctpolitics#ctgov

Taking a fair amount of flack from the UConn football faithful but holding form that football is a distraction and a waste of time...

@flugempire @zachedmonds94 surprised to see this, considering the rumor is TCU goes whichever way Texas goes.

We don't believe TCU is going against UT on this...
Not at all.

Seasileo ‏@ToddSeastrand · 9m9 minutes ago
@flugempire @zachedmonds94 so Texas is on board with BYU? And you think it's 2 or 4?

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 6m6 minutes ago
Tweets hours before public Texas public UH support surfaced

@flugempire
BTM: UC/UCONN/UH/BYU is where B12 expansion is headed. Would satisfy FOX. Would satisfy UT donors (UT stays in B12 West with OU-TT)
