You are nuts to think that Notre Dame isn't concerned about this.

"One source told The Post the basketball call was particularly heated, with some harsh words delivered to Notre Dame, which competes in the Big East in all sports except football, in which it is independent."

They're in a Big East meeting again. All the while the world around them collapses.

Then I'm nuts. I don't see anything to indicate ND is concerned at all, other than to be sympathetic and dutifully polite.
 
This thread starts out on a topic and ends up talking about Waylon. Now where have I seen that before? Hmmm.....?

Nelson, would you please for once STFU about "beg harder".

Regardless of whether or not that is even true, the fact remains that ultimately it wouldn't have made a god damn difference at all.

If the BigXII invites Louisville, WV and Cincy they are gone regardless of whether or not The Big East had added Houston, Boise St, and company and everyone remained "committed".

You're totally out of your mind if you think UConn and Rutgers couldn't get into C-USA too.

Edit: Has it come to this? Arguing about whether or not we are getting into C-USA?!

Herbst's "beg harder" program had no chance of success. None. This outcome was predestined the minute she no-showed in New York when the football schools wanted to discuss next steps. To say there was nothing she could do is a gigantic excuse for a massive failure by her.

I think we are hoping for, in order:

1) Thamel's story is wrong. I am still just a little skeptical that Missouri has the votes in the SEC.

2) BYU gets the invitation. They are clearly the most valuable program left in terms of TV value and BYU's AD gave signals they were interested this week. Hopefully the Big 12 adds them and stops.

3) Louisville declines the Big 12 invitation. Unlikely, but Jurich seems to like the Big East, and the travel to the Big 12 will wreck the hoops program.

In essence, we are hoping for someone else to save us, which is likely where we want to be, because I have no confidence at all in our ability to save ourselves.
 
I had a hot blonde at the original Russian Lady tell me to #BegHarder. There were a few more ### signs in there too

OK. Back to Waylon.

If Pat Riley can copyright "Threepeat" then Waylon can copyright "Beg Harder" ... hell, I'll even buy a shirt!!!

Like another poster wrote, it took 7 years for Syracuse to get into the ACC from the last realignment round, I think we are in a similar spot. In the medium term we will be alright.

Also, I feel SEC going to 16 is inevitable. Their East, West alignment does not quite balance. I believe they will look to add two eastern schools (FSU, Clemson) in the very near future.

Furthermore, if UConn and Rutgers are just hanging there with the departure of WVU, UL and UC, I can certainly see the ACC sending a lifeboat.

There was some speculation on Sirius-XM's College Football Coast to Coast this evening about SEC balance. The caller said that wordis leaking that Alabama & Auburn will move to the East Division with Vanderbilt being shifted to the West. Alabama wold link up with LSU as its permanent Western division dance partner.

I propose everyone wearing them at our next home football game.

This outcome was determined when Beebe brought UT and OU back into the fold for the B-12 (and received roses from Marinatto for his efforts).

Yeah, that roses move was weird. Or maybe he should send some to Neinas?

Haha! A year later I forgot about the roses. Maybe Marinatto will get some this year.

Actually, after checking the sched, everyone should definitely wear these shirts to the next home game. We play Syracuse. That would be a great message for the ACC eyes that will be on that game.
 
What caused the present situation? It wasn't when Mizzou decided they couldn't get in the B1G and went for the SEC instead, it wasn't when UT and OU couldn't make a deal with the Pac12 and came back to the B12, or when the B12 negotiated the LHN details and brought in TCU, or when Pitt/SU were poached by Swofford, or when Texas A&M decided they'd had enough of UT, this was all because of #BegHarder.
 
#BegHarder is responsible for the Great Depression, the Madoff Ponzi Scheme, and all the wars throughout history.

But is he wrong? Other than his premise that Herbst's "begging" has hurt UConn's chances at finding a safe landing spot, I can't disagree with anything he is saying.

How about his quote of UC going to the CAA in another thread? His neverending posts are based in what fact? Is he privy to insider information? Is he actually Hathaway on a two month bender? Things that make you go hmmm...the more I think about it, he could be Donna Shalalllalla or even Flipper...come on people you're not trying hard enough, we can make it a full blown conspiracy.
 
I trained my dog to sit up for his treats, but he was half-assing it so I told him to #BegHarder

It's also responsible for Joe Pisarcik, Bill Buckner, Steve Bartman and that cyclist dude from South Africa who got trucked by an antelope last week...

This Jets/Dolphins game is hard to watch. We need to #BegHarder for better games on Monday Night Football.
 
Now that the BE has unanimously voted to increase the exit fee to $10 million dollars if and Navy join, you have to wonder who leaked this news last minute to the Times. Someone with a vested interest is not happy with any positive developments for the BE.

That could only be one person; Susan Herbst.

If the Big East collapses and UConn can't get into the ACC, we have a shot at the C-USA-MWC monstrosity. I suppose we disagree there.
UConn has a chance at the ACC. If Missouri joins the SEC, that chance goes down. Henceforth, I am worried.

I now Temple has apathetic fan support, but I feel adding them is important to having a football presence in Pennsylvania. PA is a big recruiting state for all North East teams.

I love it when they say that the BE voted out Temple, now wants them back. No one around here voted out Temple.

If they do bring Temple back, Temple has to go with an old school look in football.

If Mizzou joins the SEC, it might open the door for the SEC to go to 16 with two of FSU, Clemson, NCState... so it might help us. However this route could take a few years.
 
The biggest obstacle for the B12 taking a BE team is the 27 months wait. I believe B12's TV contract stated they must have 10 teams, so this means they need 1 additional team for 2012 unless Missouri decides to stay for few more years. This could mean B12 will go after BYU since they are a lot more flexible and they are already an ESPN TV contract team.

We can only hope B12 will stop at 10 and not to go to 12 by taking both WVU and UL for 2014. I wish B12 and BE would just merge but we all know TexOU won't want that. I doubt B12 is going 12 until the current TV deal runs out cause I just don't see them split same money 12 ways vs. 10.
 
I believe that (shy of an even higher departure fee than the $30 mm A&M is paying) it is too late for a 2012 entry in a new conference for Missouri. Additionally, the SEC has gone on record that they will have thriteen members for at least the 2012-2013 athlteic/academic year.
