So what happened to all the Big XII talk?

Winning either the NC St (or Louisville) game is/was still an important marker, but something tells me that AD Benedict is a heck of a lot more Machiavellian in the way he’s approaching the BigXII kabuki dance than Warde Manuel ever was with the ACC.

Agreed. We all need to start lining up people willing to go to the NC State game for free because I'm sure AD Dave will be papering the house.

Ill probably pick up tickets for the NC State game. Having kids, i wish they had thia game on a Friday OR THE SCHOOLS in CT pushed back their 1st day. They usually have 1st day of school this Thursday with school on Friday. Makes it hard when you don't want your kid to pick up absence the 2nd day of school.

starting school on Thursday??!?!
 
Just took a look at the school calendar for Hartford public schools and they start on Tuesday Aug 29. So it would appear that schools are starting early this year.

I don't think that's early. School always started before Labor Day even a full week to ten days before depending on the school district. This ain't New York.
 
Or Arizona they start school here at the end of July. I know they get out in May so it is all relative.

Yeah it was stupid. Someone posted Tuesday. Now that i think of it they may start earlier now but yeah, they would start that Thursday before the holiday. Annoying.

Not always. How old are you? This changed i want to say when Bush 1 changed the number of mandatory school days i believe.

I don't know if Benedict is more Machiavellian, but he appears to be putting in the work under the radar rather than sipping piña colada's in the Virgin Islands.

I have a healthy skepticism about all of this because…. CR Rule#1..., but I do appreciate the quiet businesslike way Dave seems to be approaching things.

I always thought this board was hilarious because it's been going on for a decade and I never thought we were getting an invite anywhere. This is the first time I actually do think we'll be joining the Big 12.

There's an awful lot of smoke, but we've seen that quite a bit in the past. At this point, I have a pretty healthy skepticism about any potential move.

Past smoke was us smelling our own farts.

But, this time it's different for sure, right?

I have developed a good amount of skepticism. It's a healthy thing to do as a Connecticut fan.

It sure feels different. The only time it felt like it was going to happen was when we had the Syracuse and Pitt defections. Most of us just assumed we would be going to the ACC but we had no idea our AD and school were sound asleep at the wheel. This is very different than that.
