Non-Key Tweets

Progam Note to Fellow Posters:

I get it.........looks grim for our Big12 invite. But last time I checked, this has not been announced. It is highly unlikely but not inconceivable that they take 4 including UCONN. Can we stop shoveling dirt on the carcass till the official announcement?

All I see is "loading tweet". What does it say?

It's our buddy Dude of WV.

"The death of B12 expansion is not a determining factor in the future viability of the conference."
 
The only two schools acceptable to Fox and ESPN lol. I know, based on previous tweets, that he's referring to Houston and Cincy. (Or BYU and one of them.)

Which is funny since BHV and a former CBS sports exec said we are the most valuable TV property.

It has taken until now but he has finally outed himself as a fraud.

Which is exactly why ESPN wants UConn in the AAC. If the AAC was controlled by any other non-Mouse network, UConn would be in a P5 conference. It is and UConn is not.

Big 12 expansion is unofficially dead. Bowlsby has heard from all 10 schools. No school has more than 5 votes.

Two factions exist that have enough votes to block the only two schools acceptable to ESPN and Fox.

It's over.

I read these tweets & all I could see in my mind was the Coroner's report in Munchkinland: "She's not merely dead, she's really quite SINCERELY DEAD!"

It's BYU and one of them, likely Cincinnati. UH is not terribly appealing to TV since Houston is a fairly redundant Big 12 market.

That's what I don't get about BYU. How are they appealing to both ESPN and Fox? Or either of them for that matter? ESPN already owns them and Fox is looking for Eastern content, apparently. Unless BYUs TV appeal is so high that they're a must have for Fox and they're willing to forgo Eastern content to get their hands on BYU. I think BYU's appeal is more like Flug says. On the ground appeal. Their people are everywhere and go to games. And in Provo they sell out every week.

Is a 1.0 national TV rating any good for a thrus night CFB game?

That's about what college basketball gets. Not good. Houston certainly didn't help with that number. UConn women bball does better than that in Connecticut.

Seen the viewers posted anywhere yet? For reference:

Last Thurs: Ga Tech vs. Clemson = 1.813M viewers
Two Thurs: Cincinnati vs Houston = 2.159M viewers
 
I felt like the game did well in CT based on the talk on twitter. But then I remembered my timeline is filled with a bunch of Boneyarders so of course the only tweets I saw were about the game.

BYU's television ratings are nothing special.

Great atmosphere and their fans travel well, but still.

I thought that he did that around 2011-12 or so.

Which exposes another area where he is deluded...suggesting that ESPN and Fox want the same thing or the same schools. I have 100% confidence that they do not. I doubt that Fox wants BYU or Houston.
 
Who does the Dude think he is by protecting his tweets and why does he do it in the first place? I'd think he would want as many people as possible consuming his garbage. Plus, it's not half as fun following only one side of @Dooley's evisceration of him in my timeline.

The tweet protection is nonsense anyways, I requested a follow with a dummy egg-picture account that has zero tweets and follows like three people and he accepted nonetheless. So if he's doing it to screen his followers then he's doing an awful job.

Am I the only one who, when I get an alert saying "Fishy quoted your post...," gets nervous that I'm about to be throat punched all the way to Syracuse?
