He was paraphrasing as only he can do.Originally posted by byu71 View PostI think I indicated that, but since I don't swear that isn't my statement."Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."
Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

I think if Notre Dame were an option for the Big 12, adding BYU and ND would have been done by now. It took the Big 10 until 2010 to realize the Irish would not join them. It took until 2016 and a GoR extension with ND and the ACC for the Big 12 to realize that the Irish would not join them. This is just another example that the Big 10 is smarter than the Big 12 as the academic graph you posted points out.Originally posted by Uncle Ted View PostVisualizing the Big 12 expansion candidates in two graphs....
The Big 12 just needs to get ND and BYU and call it a day.“Not the victory but the action. Not the goal but the game. In the deed the glory.”

I did. And also noticed that Nebraska leaving the Big 12 made them dumber as well. The gift that keeps on giving.Originally posted by Uncle Ted View PostMaybe you also noticed that adding Nebraska made them dumber.“Not the victory but the action. Not the goal but the game. In the deed the glory.”

To be fair, NU itself got dumber shortly after joining the B1G. So I think it was a bad move all around, everyone got dumber...Originally posted by Paperback Writer View PostI did.

One thing I have taken away from this round of expansion anxiety is that many of the 'insiders' need to have some remedial instruction on use of language. The first class will point out that saying the "contracts are signed on the dotted line" when what you mean is that "they are not yet signed but are close" is a really dumb thing to do.PLesa excuse the tpyos.

If this guy actually knew that 6 schools were on board, with 2 more maybe coming today, he would know which schools they were.Originally posted by Mormon Red Death View PostWho are the six? I bet the 2 "no"s are Baylor and west va. Tcu I bet is on the fence

The six -- Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Iowa State, Kansas, K-State -- and the Texas team I'd have to bet on would be Texas Tech.Originally posted by Mormon Red Death View PostWho are the six? I bet the 2 "no"s are Baylor and west va. Tcu I bet is on the fence

But who the hell really knows if this report is accurate or not. Between TCU, Texas, Baylor and West Virginia, I'm not sure who would come on board. I'm not sure why Baylor would necessarily be opposed along with TCU.Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”
