Agreed. I also think that BC might change their tune.

Warde Manuel is good personal friends with UConn's AD. They played football together at Michigan.

Rutgers is really going to miss losing in the BE Tourney in MSG. Now they can lose in Chicago. And why do I get the feeling that Miami and FSU really don't want to come up here in Nov/Dec to play football in the cold? I just get the feeling we represent a threat to a lot of AD's who are concerned our emergence into a premier BB school will be replicated to some extent within the conference. That could be a good thing for everyone involved. What is their beef? That we're good in almost all sports?

The Big10 has a tourney? I thought the regular season decided their champ? It was always determined by who could throw up the least amount of rocks at the rim. Those Wisky -- Purdue games were legendary!

Is Warde Manual also good friends with UConn's other ADs? Is he in a Sybil-like state all the time?

That's better than self loathing!

Then it sounds like UConn's football coaching situation is not the top concern for Manuel. Poor guy.

Clearly, you are not aware of his Janus-face approach to Ollie's contract. This is why UConn fans are confused. They don't know the real Manuel. Not even Ms. Manuel knows the real Manuel.

Are you discounting the possibility of two bodies occupying one? Have you ever seen the size of Warde Manuel's head?

Yes, and it took a lot of therapy to him there, so be supportive.

Not a surprise, but Clemson sounding like a "no" vote for UConn (apologies if mentioned earlier):

@DanWolken
Clemson Board of Trustees chair says they'd prefer a school that "adds to football prowess" of ACC http://usatoday.com/story/sports/college/2012/11/19/college-sports-maryland-rutgers-acc-big-east-expansion-realignment/1715913/# …

Who would he vote for? La Tech? UCF?

This is the issues. There are none. That's why the BE sucks. Louisville, Cincy, Rutgers, USF, and UConn all have potential on the east coast (read, east of the Mississippi). Rutgers and UConn were the only two with the academics. Rutgers is gone.

None of them are football powerhouses.

Warde and Susan need to be focused on locking down the continued support of our supporters in the ACC, and now they need to start cutting deals and making convincing arguments with the Clemson's and FSUs.

Best way to show everyone that we give a crap about football? Fire P. And go after some big names.

Instead of begging harder, we need to act the part!
