Non-Key Tweets

Is Arizona good in football? BB is pretty good I imagine.

Basketball is very good, obviously. Football is terrible. Arizona State is pretty good at football, if well behind the top programs. Utah is easily the best football program of the corner schools. Good enough that the Pac added them in 2010 and they've been among the top programs in the conference since.

 

[Bongo Fury]

Yeah but people don’t dump on AZ or CO for football like they do UConn. People are going to watch the Deon experiment but if successful he’s gone.

I am posting my own tweet as non-key because I’m lazy and don’t feel like retyping the info here

Gross. Mustard based sauces are from the Devil. Not all KC BBQ sauces are sweet, mostly that's just the supermarket crap. Gates and Arthur Bryant aren't sweet.

"Carolina bbq" is a poor term. NC BBQ is vinegar based (and superior), while SC bbq is mustard based.

I do NOT like this response from Master’s Burner. Kick in the testiculos possibly incoming. But still have hope in GoKU

Unless things have changed. Dodd posted this at the beginning of June.

That’s a KEY message, maybe?

Alll the old realignment accounts shaking off the dust

 

[noeynox]

This should be non-non-non key

 

[UConn Dan]

This should be non-non-non key

I think that he’s admitting it’s radio silence because they’re actually been working on an invite is kinda kinda key

I read that as "if Colorado is joining then UConn is too"

Hence same thing

Pat Forde reports Colorado is nearing a move to the Big 12, with Arizona, Arizona State, Utah and Connecticut potentially in line to follow

The fact that Pat Forde is reporting about these schools and includes UConn is especially encouraging. He has no love for us and was the guy who tipped off Louisville’s AD —his friend Tom Jurich—the night he learned that UConn was headed for the ACC and helped Jurich on his blitzkrieg PR campaign to replace us. If he’s saying UConn is in the mix, I think I’ll sleep more soundly than if Frank The Tank or some other blogger yapped about it.

We are always in the mix. I want to be in the cake!

Crickets coming out of UConn. My guess is they were told to button up as there was a lot of speculation out there with a lot of people earmarking UConn to B12 without the formal invite (sure both UConn and B12 weren’t happy about it). Is this a good thing? Time will tell.

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

Either we were told a month or two ago that we're in as school 2 or 4 or we were told it ain't happening this go around. That's why we've gone silent. Fingers crossed.

If it’s true our football staff was telling recruits we are going to the B12 it may have lead to the radio silence or else we are seeing now.

If we knew for certain that we weren't getting an invite, I would think that AD David Benedict would have jumped out in front of it and said we were committed to the Big East and our east coast identity or something along those lines.

The real fear in all of this is that we think we're in a good position but are really just being used to force someone elses hand. Because that's happened enough now that we should know better.

Something to keep in mind... Colorado may have bought Yormark capitol in PAC12 adds.... what does one think about UConn's capitol with bringing Big East Ball teams in?

Please stop.

 

[Forte]

Please stop.

Stop what? It's a valid question.... it was mentioned a while back that St Johns etc are potentially being eyed. It's all just rumor but UConn's name and location could entice other regional programs for bball no?

As the saying goes at a poker table......if after 20 minutes you haven't figured out who the rube is, it's you.

B12 does not want bball onlies. Memphis was mentioned too, they have no shot. The only thing that the B12 care about right now (maybe ever) is all sports schools. And no BE team should move their entire athletic department for 7-10m to benefit bball only.

yeah the whole thing feels off. If we were actually going, I'd imagine the headlines would be "Colorado and UConn are heading to the Big XII"

the only way that doesn't happen is if the leaks are coming from the Colorado side. Which is possible but based on some of the people reporting on it, I doubt it.

 

[Patman]

patman you have to check out Sneaky Penguin Brewery next time you go down. The owner there is from Newington CT. Big UConn fan too!

I'll look.

One of these days I'd like to get my act together... and I assume we are still talking bbq... I think I've decided I'll try to focus on ribs or at least get good at it.

As for beer. Only reason I'm not active in the beer thread is I'm dc based. I've been to around 370 breweries over 12 years.

I just don't see the value in the Big12 taking small, private/catholic basketball only schools. Just don't see it when they can add all sports state universities with bigger fan bases, etc.
