The Big East expansion groundswell thread

I still think it is a bad move. I'm just noting that they cannot even properly execute a bad move.

Au contraire, It appears they are doing a bang up job executing bad move after bad bad move.

The outside world, meaning us normals, have received the message loud and clear, don't deal with the Mormons of BYU.

[Tone Loc]

They were doing a parody of a Foyer discussion. Moran.

I believe Tex was as well. In that case, he got both you and DDD.

Apparently. Can't say I blame them, but if all parties could agree to do what is best for football only... I'm dreaming, nevermind. :anger:

FYI, Arch is impressed with your reasoning.

I, however, am not.

That's a nice looking board over there. It seems you only have a few posters, but if you keep at it, I'm sure it will take off.

WTF? He is stealing my stuff!

Archaea, stop the plagiarizing!!!!!!

Maybe you're unfamiliar with the history, but CUF's storied success came by poaching CG. Not exactly honest or organic growth, but Lebowski's proud of it all the same.

[ERCougar]

Heh. I know.

Not exactly an honest or organic response.


Never mind, it's organic, I guess.

[Jeff Lebowski]

So Tex is doing a parody of himself where he shows up only to bitch about the forum while demonstrating he has missed the main point of the discussion?

Wow. That is impressive. Bravo, Tex.

BYU is run by a bunch of dunderheads that can't be intelligent with this conference alignment shit. Perhaps if they pulled their heads out of their collective asses, they could make a deal that would be in the best interest of the fans and the quality of competition. All this exposure talk is a steaming pile of shit when you consider that exposure in the Big East would be significant. With games broadcasting with local interest to areas that are traditionally mormon sparse, the exposure would be huge for the mormon missionary effort that they all claim to be the #1 purpose for BYU football. So stupid.

Glad to see you back. I thought maybe you'd run off. Glad you were able to express your thoughts on the entanglement of BYU and its sponsoring institution. I have always wondered where you stood on the issue of BYU football and the LDS Church.

[TripletDaddy]

All of this Texiness has completely distracted people from cowboy's post. It was funny.

I wasn't around, as you well know, but how was it dishonest?

:thumbsup:

I do my best!

Actually, I have no clue who you are or where you came from.

I doubt anyone here has an appetite for re-litigating the CG/CUF split, so I'm not going to comment further on it after this post. But to answer your question, I was specifically referring to the announcement of CUF's creation made on CG (that MW even made sticky, I think). IMO, that was below-the-belt.

[ERCougar]

Tex obviously doesn't know the meaning of the word "honest", so you won't get an answer that makes any sense here--you'll likely just get a link to another nonsensical post with the implication that anyone should understand the obvious connection, and if you don't, he has neither the time nor the inclination to bother with you.

EDIT: Lol...I wasn't too far off, was I? Heh.
