The Big East expansion groundswell thread

[LiveCoug]

Well, this is certainly discouraging news.

Face the facts --like most of us you losers, while dating, we likely coveted something bigger and better endowed, but we you went who was interested in us you. What ifs, and I wish leave you home alone watching Star Trek reruns with Hyrum from Ephraim. Now its time for a honeymoon to Park City, then off to Wymount to start making kids.

Keep in mind, I married a crazy-ass B, got divorced, and then married a DDD (not our DDD, mind you). So all may not be lost even if you get married.

Is there no conference championship game?

What should be the conference championship game in the P12 is being played this weekend, even at the same venue. However, due to Southern Cal not being eligible the alternate representative from the South will visit Eugene.

I want to see Sizzle's new avatar.

Can someone remind Holmoe and Samuelson we have a basketball program?

The southern half (sans an ineligible SC) really sucks this year. UCLA shouldn't be considered for the Vegas bowl, let alone being in the driver's seat to make it to the P12 championship.

So what? Is that what it is about for you? Playing in a BCS bowl???

Most schools, BCS or non AQ, will never play in one. Who cares. The weekly games are what matter to me.

I would rather play the weekly B12 schedule and see those teams in football and basketball and play in one BCS bowl game every 15 years than play that crappy Big East schedule while playing in a BCS bowl every 5 or 6 years.

If you arent winning the national championship, then ultimately, everything else is just a bowl game, so who cares if you play in the Orange or the Holiday or whatever non BCS bowl you wind up playing in.

I stated this in a different thread, or maybe this one I don't remember. I am not as sure that Rose is that against being the big fish in the WCC as most here. There is a lot to be said about being the big fish.

Where, in Utah?? Ok, happy to break even there. I want new kids from TX, FL and the east

There's no question B12 is better. But what are we going to do, hold them up and make them let us in??

Unless they panic in the next 36 hours and bring BYU/UL, ain't happening.

[TripletDaddy]

We are bottom feeders. Seriously.

Wash your mouth out with soap.

Ever? College football is changing. I have NO desire to commit ourselves to the worst of the "big boys". 27 month wait? Huge fees?

I'd rather stick with indy for a while and see if something better pops up. Going to the BE right now reeks of impatient desperation.

[RC Vikings]

I think it was nice of Boise to hold out until BYU got their invite also.

[jay santos]

What kind of exit penalty is this conference going to have?

I see Rutgers, UCONN, Louisville maybe South Florida (hopefully BYU?) getting better offers within a few years. Why would these schools have an incentive to sign anything with a serious exit penalty?

[UtahDan]

I think it would be fun if BYU came and played in Annapolis. That is a great setting to watch a football game and I would totally go. I actually went to exactly this game when Detmer was the quarterback and I was in high school.
