Message: [QUOTE="TruDomGopher, post: 1228822, member: 4159"] For the record, I'm nobody--not even Greg Flugaur. I am a Gopher fan, having grown up in MN, and my online name here is a nod to True Don Blue, the jock on KDWB63 in the Twin Cities back when the world was young. (On the radio, it always sounded like "Dom" to me.) To clarify a couple of things: when I referred to UConn sports other than bb as "projects", I meant that they will take longer to brand to the B1G. The association UConn=Hockey=B1G will take longer to build than, say, basketball. (Right now if I say, "UConn would be a great hockey add for the Big Ten," the reaction is too frequently, "UConn has hockey?") Not denigrating UConn sports in any way. I will say this--for the similarities with Greg Flugaur, my analysis is somewhat different. I think that if the B1G had a do-over, they wouldn't take Nebraska. Although they won't say so publicly, I think they'd be happy to give'em back. (Like PSU, there's a Nebraska contingent clamoring to go back to Texas. Small but vocal.) I think B1G would completely leave the west alone. And I think they're done out west even if Boren calls (although they'd undoubtedly gulp hard). I won't bore you with my thought processes, but if there's a wildcard at the bottom of the pile, it's this: Kentucky. Of course, I'm frequently wrong--just ask my wife. [/QUOTE]
