Heres an interesting one: An executive from AT&T Stadium will be in attendance at the upcoming meeting of the B12 MEMBERSHIP committee

MH3‏@MH3 3h
and it will be more than 8 teams being looked at. Each member of the committee is to present info on 2 schools each

MH3‏@MH3 3h
Colorado St and SDSU are now two more names to add that I have heard bandied about.
 
Were we not previously hearing how some B12 schools are already sick of traveling to WVU? Really makes one wonder how seriously they're considering these schools like UCF, USF and now SDSU. And what does CSU have to offer besides very recent success? Recruiting? Markets?

HFD is Obi Wan Kenobi to Fishy's Darth Vader. Fishy may have struck him down, but now HFD has become more powerful than we could possibly imagine.

Post of the Year candidate right here. Bonus points awarded for tying CR and Star Wars together so accurately.

Except we seem to draw fans from all fan bases to this board, much to our chagrin. To some extent, folks of other teams are still intrigued by this stuff, but maybe, their just trolling us.

Conference realignment is popular with other schools' fans because it allows them to brag about their athletic programs for something other than actual results in contests. Rutgers and Pitt have one NCAA championship between them in all sports, yet they have beaten us in conference realignment.

You are right. Many come over here to tell us "we bring nothing to the table". National Championships equal nothing I guess, when athtletically you accomplish nothing of significance, but hey they're school are in P5 conferences and were not so there is that.

For now. Think how sweet redemption will feel when we get invited to the Big10. At that point, we can sit back and watch the Syracuse and Pitt boards implode because they will now die a slow death.
 
We've had some crappy visitors, but I think some have been just fine. I thought one or two of the ND fans made the board pretty insufferable (Meatchicken?!?) for a bit, and some of the B1G v. ACC stuff made otherwise solid contributors insufferable for a while (thinking Stimpy), but I've generally liked the fact that we get other POV. But largely our B1G and ACC guests have been just fine in my book, even when they're saying things I don't want to hear.

We used to get a lot more of that on the main board than we do now, and I always welcomed opposing perspectives.

I think we need to not jump the gun here and invite the disdain of others… Manuel and Herbst are playing this right, close to the chest and gracious at every turn. Nothing mean to say to anyone. As I tell my son every day… act like you have been there before, otherwise you look foolish in the eyes of those who really matter in life.

Who is saying anything mean? Sometimes the truth hurts. I hope you tell your son that as well.

Explain to me how this Non-key Tweet thread is any different than the original?

I was responding to the post calling for Pitts and Syracuse's slow death. They are going to be fine and will have plenty of money in the ACC, though they will always be middle of the road in regards to athletics since they don't have the current history and kids will no longer remember their glory days though Pitt hasn't had theres since the early 80's. In the ACC they can win but never consistently. They will never have the upside that we do in regards to academics and athletics which should make us more attractive long term.

I also never used the word "mean" but okay let me explain this some more…. the truth is we are no closer to being in the P5 or possible P4 then we were when Louisville got the invite instead of us outside of some random bloggers who throw everything against the wall hoping that something sticks. We already have people calling our invite to the B1G just around the corner. This speculation makes us look desperate and pathetic. We are above that, I would hope.

The "truth" is we are better, but as a fan base lets act more like the B1G which we so clearly wish to be part of, and not like the cheating backstabbing ACC that we have all experienced.

Really dude? Call me crazy, but I will find great joy in the fact that if UConn joins the Big10, Syracuse will become the next BC.......athletically irrelevant! That's the truth. And for Pitt, they are already there.

This thread is an abomination. Nothing here couldn't be posted on the epic original thread. I would like to see a moderator combine this with original. And a few days on the beach for the OP.

I think that is just his dry humor man. I'm a fan of it. His posts make me chuckle in that they come off douchy but are really sheet you'd hear at the office when busting stones.

Well, the juxtaposition between his previous statements and that means either: 1) he doesn't believe anything and is just trying to needle you in particular or 2) he's being ironic. I know it's difficult to pick up irony on a message board, but I always give people the benefit of the doubt, and assume they ultimately don't give a fv¢k about me.
 
No timeframe, just makes the absolute most sense to lock up NYC and DC. The B1G would add a basketball power in UCONN and in UVA they get another top flight school while simultaneously destabilizing the ACC.

I really want to believe that, but that makes too much sense. UVA, Maryland, Rutgers, PSU, UConn locking down VA, MD, DC, Phili/PA, NJ, NYC and CT woild be incredible from a TV standpoint.

There is no "Indispensable Man." Rule # 525,641(B) to live by. Thanks, Andrew. I can always count on you. ;)
 
The east would be RU, UCONN, PSU, UMD, UVA, OSU, UM, and MSU.

It'd be murderers row in just about every sport but if THAT couldn't get the northeast to care about college sports than nothing could.
 
I thoroughly enjoy our visitors. The only ones that irk me have been that fool okielite and the ND fan who uses cutesy childish nicknames for everything. I think a different perspective is good and most of them come here because they are in our corner to escape the AAC death sentence.

No problem at all, 25. I just can't do emoticons, if that leads to the occaisional misunderstanding dem's the breaks. I think one-liners are funnier when done with a straight face.
