UConn to Big XII Imminent?

[KryHavok]

Impara a rilassarti, amico mio. Vivrai più a lungo.

Questo lo so bene, ma CR mi fa arrabbiare che il Big12 ci hanno fregato tante volte. Basta che siamo campioni del basketball e non loro, sono contento. Grazie per la conversazione nella mia prima lingua!

Translation: Big 12 sucks ^_^ without us.

I spent the morning making realignment maps, what a mess all these moves make. It boggles the mind how in the 80's there were 24 independents now we're down to 3 (soon to be 2) for football.

Eh, I'm southern Italian, I have a short fuse, ^_^.

Short fuse. That's the name of nearby pizza food truck here in the Florida Panhandle. It's called short fuse because the owner is a woman about 4'8" and she's Italian.

We’ve been contacted by at least three conferences in the last 60 days. No matter how you look at it, things are looking up. Football looking good is only going to help.

B1G, Pac12 and ACC?

 

[UConn Dan]

B1G, Pac12 and ACC?

Big 12, not B1G

 

[powerplay]

After listening to Flugar again, I still think he's FOS and just regurgitating what has already trickled out: no vote in the short term (not no, not yes) and maybe something decided next year. Wow, so 1 Texas school is leaning towards a yes, that's fantastic, that gets us 7 probably positives out of 12 needed, !!! For him to go on to say that there are things trending favorably towards UConn only to counter with there are other scenarios that don't include UConn...all meaningless ramblings unless there is an overwhelming majority that say add UConn now. The Big12 prezs have known (or should have known) that UConn has value, they knew last year and early this year, that has not changed, and if they didn't know, then they have no business being in charge of major universities while having such myopic views. "I can only go so far with this...other things have to happen", yeah, sure bub, keep downing those milkshakes. It's a nothing story! Other universities don't get this crap as they get offered and added within days without this long drawn out nonsense.

That said, Benedict did say over the weekend something along the lines "...we love being part of the Big East...", okay, so something may be brewing, maybe not with the Big12.

What pretty much any team in the B12 thinks doesn’t carry veto power. since UT left .
The one who pays the bills with some reservations has the bulk of decision making powers . If Fox says we’re in we are in However Fox has a Big East problem The only conferences where a core group has significant power is the B1G and the SEC

The tell is if he says “we are proud members of the BE.”

Today, I learned that half the Boneyard can speak Italian with me....minchia!

Isn't it great, when CR news goes bad for us (which is seems to do a lot), I end up swearing a lot in both languages, but I hex the conference offender in dialect so that my kids don't understand me.

Well if it's southern Italian, I'll get it. So... do it!!!

You'll probably only get a "come scusa?" Out of me.

È come se non mi conoscessi affatto.

The NEWBE also has a UCONN problem. They desperately need someone else to step up and challenge us and be in position to replace us If we leave. I think in a perfect world they would love it to be Villanova then Georgetown, then Marquette. Those are all programs with history. After that, I’d say St Johns, but they aren’t on the same level as the first 3, and who knows what happens when their 72 year old coach steps down or is fired for hiring hookers. Creighton and Xavier are next, though nobody really knows who or what a Creighton is. Then someone else. If we stay, and dominate, it is a bit of a problem. I mean who watches St Mary’s vs. Portland? If we go, who watches The NEWBE? If I were Val, I’d be picking a winner and helping them in subtle ways to grow.

Meh. Bar pie.

Y'all can't be new to the Flug, come on, really?!?! What he delivered in that 4 min video he often hides inside a 2.5 hr video. This was ultra concise by any measure of Flug.

I have tried to be Dude of CT and the flug of New England. Just doesn’t work.

Excellent wardrobe selection. Hopefully very intentional.
