Obviously, I'd love it to happen, but that was a diary entry made by an ugly dude about why the hot cheerleader should want to go out with him. Well, it was made by a blogger so...... ... who coincidentally helped write the bid package for USF to join the Big East a few years back. Different time, different circumstances. I'm sure the decision makers in the Big 12 wait with baited breath for every Voodoo5 post. He's just a USF blogger now.... You're right. He obviously has no insight on the matter and should be completely disregarded. The only way he has insight in this matter is if he's been sitting in on meetings where P5 people have discussed criteria for expansion. It was a nice article making a case for both of us but it's also something that anyone from this board could have sat down and written if they were so inclined ... In fact, most, if not all, of the points he discussed have been hashed around numerous times in here during this process. But he didn't include introducing the Big 12 to Pubkix as a selling point. Amateur ****. That's why THIS blog is more awesome ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No argument there .... just making the point that he has no more insight to the situation than most here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V5's microphone is small but appreciated, IMHO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V5's microphone is small but appreciated, IMHO. Agree. And Collin does have an (official?) media pass from USF, so he's likely a little more clued in than most of us in general. Not that he brings that to bear in this article, but just pointing it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that he brings that to bear in this article, but just pointing it out. He's clued in at USF, very clued in. But on a national scale? Conference wise? He's just as lost/hopeful as the rest of us. However, if something DOES happen, he will get wind of it before we do. Lately he's chosen not to release things he's been told...not sure if it's in an effort to gain more trust or what, but he's held onto some good stuff. He's actually holding onto some piece of big news now that he won't even hint at...but he was excited about it as the season was winding down..which I found so odd since the season was so depressing (and no, it wasn't about the firings) more along the lines of some big influx being added to the "coffers" for something...he won't elaborate. And yes he has an official media pass. Edited December 11, 2014 by Hem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again though I think Cincy is a shoe in if they do add teams-They have been to a few BCS bowls, Solid hoops, upgrading their stadium and facilities plus they would want to give WVU a regional partner for travel etc. so the question is who would be the other.

We don't like the answer to that question, unfortunately. So, we'll just continue to ignore that possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a 4-5 hour trip. They aren't the most ideal travel pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cincy would be like walking to the next block in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You go to Cincy you have to eat the worlds crappiest chili they force on everyone. How that place ever pulled off the great chili lie is a bigger mystery than the hiring of CWT. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
