Not trying to defend Houston but if there were real sources indicating that they were out, I doubt Tillman Fertitta donates $20 million for a renovated basketball stadium yesterday. I mean, I guess he could just be a great donor but I had never heard of him caring much about UH before the Big 12 expansion noise starting coming through.
I remember thinking Burton was a jerk at the time, but boy did he end up vindicatedBurton has only been "un-quiet" once, and his evaluations of the AD (saboteur) and coach, in question, were accurate, albeit, indelicate. Don't-cha think?.
NYUConn Stadium on Horsebarn Hill?I'm trying, I'm trying but these goshdarn powerball numbers never seem to hit.
Heard from someone at KU today that BYU and UConn are being talked about most. Take it FWIW.
NYUConn Stadium on Horsebarn Hill?
I think I'm the only UConn grad who didn't mind "the twin towers." I lived in South so it was infinitely better to have an English class there as a first class than a math class in the math science building. I spent a lot of morning walking cross campus with a cup of coffee and omelette slapped between two pieces of toast.Honestly I would donate money to swing the wrecking ball once at Arjona or Monteith.

Pasqualoni was worse for UConn than probably even he imagined he'd be
Bah, you youngsters always need to be coddled. It's too cold? Boo-hoo, throw on a coat.... and frankly, anything that promotes Spring time semi-nudity in coeds is to be lauded.From a convenience factor they were great. But they were antiquated and 10 degrees in the winter and 110 degrees in the spring/summer.
I think it's a safer assumption that nobody has a clue except 10 Presidents and a man named Bowlsby on which way this is going to shake out. Maybe Fox and ESPN have some influence but the Big12 has been very quiet and strategic in any leaks.Not exactly. My thinking isn't that they're in. It's that if they knew they were out, Fertitta wouldn't be throwing down all this cash and grabbing every interview he could. That wouldn't mean they're in, just means they have a shot.
You Know....Bob graduated from my high school, Conard in W. Hartford. As great as the WH school system is considered to be, I'm pretty sure he is the most famous graduate of that school. (and no, there's nothing wrong with making millions of $$ selling furniture).
That statement is VERY telling! We haven't heard 1 peep out of him.I think you're looking at it backwards. you're assuming the $20M is because Houston is in. It might be that nobody knows anything as widely speculated and Fertitta is leveraging his wealth to make a statement and get houston some positive attention. in that case the timing is perfect. Uconn's announce of $90M in approved capital projects is a similar ploy I believe.
Burton has been somewhat quiet in this whole process.
class of 81You're a Chieftain too??
I could have sworn he was from WeHa hmm. The guy from Dashboard Confessional definitely was.He's from Fairfield and went to McMahon in Norwalk.
Did Ken Ober go to Hall or Conard?
What about Mose Schrute?

I looked it up - Mose Schrute/Ken Tremendous/Michael Schur went to Hall too...
I don't know what a Wavy Gravy is. It's too bad Ruslan went to Hall too I guess. He's pretty famous.
Mangenius, and my father-in-law.He's from Fairfield and went to McMahon in Norwalk.
