I've posted this before in the other thread, but what happens below to Hormel Chavez is kind of what's been happening to us all along.
So what the hell is another kick when the whole show is about us just getting our ballz repeatedly kicked in?

 

[Waquoit]

I just ordered a steel reinforced cup.

I already went titanium. And don't skimp on the padding. The kick I'm expecting will cause the metal to protrude through weaker padding causing severe lacerations in the groin area.

Guys, remember - it's really important that someone says this at least once every hour.

Sure would like to know the date UCONN first picked up the phone to call Aspire Group from Atlanta.
That date MAY be important

ME: We are still his Rosebud.

Not that it matters, but why would he assume WV is a Houston vote? Other than being a sycophant for UT?

 

[pj]

Some other people have said, but I will repeat. There is NO WAY Houston is getting invited if they only add 2. What benefit does Houston bring to the northerns schools? I don't even understand why Baylor and TCU would do it, except pressure from Texas.

Houston's shot is if they go to 14. Those schools compromise but letting them in for the exchange of UConn and Cincy, or UCONN and UCF. Something along those lines. Houston adds nothing.

Houston is just preparing the league for Texas's departure. Once Texas is gone, Baylor, TCU, and Texas Tech have zero grasp on the Houston market for the B12. At that point, Houston rivals UConn as the best addition available to the remaining schools - much bigger market than Cincy with better proximity.

If Texas were never going to leave the B12, then Houston would make no sense. But Texas is planning to leave.

 

[noeynox]

Got a kick out of this one

 

[UC313]

Thats still better than if malloy opened his mouth.

 

[31GuardTrap]

The worst part of this is that the real media and Internet nutjobs are pretty much on the same page with this, other than a stray Memphis prediction here and there. USF, UCF and Tulane are still mentioned, but the clear frontrunners are UConn, Houston, BYU and Cincinnati.

This is like standing behind a donkey with my legs spread and pulling on its tail. Nothing good can come of that.

What if it was a paralyzed donkey?

No he's right, nothing good can come of it and there also should be a restraining order keeping him away from farms and petting zoos.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago
Once more... I've heard nothing that says the Big 12 won't go to 14. But adding only 2 is possible.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago
ESPN/Fox aren't especially keen on the B12 adding 4. They may add $ to keep it at 12.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago
Key phrase is may. Also note if the B12 thinks they can land UCLA in 2024 they may stop at 12.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago
But why leave the extra money on the table? Adding 4 eliminates the need of a network for the current 10 members.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago
Adding 4 likely pays the current 10 members more than the ACC will receive for ACCN.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago
Adding 4 also positions the Big 12 to launch a network in the future.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago
And there isn't any rule that would stop the B12 from adding UCLA or another disillusioned P12 school in 2024. Why not be the 1st to 16?

3705 fans per game last year. It will be interesting to see the capacity of the new place. It usually takes Sampson about 3 years to get into trouble so it should be ready for a new coach.

Are you facing towards the donkey or away from the donkey? If you're facing the donkey, you need a cup. If you are facing away from the donkey, you'll need a helmet.
