I'd like to nominate as my favorite post on BlueGoldNews this one by "Bull45":

Quote:This what I've been told (Told in secrecy so don't tell anyone) about how it's all going to play out. There will be 5 conferences...North, South, East, West.

I lol'd when I read that over there

These West Virginia people and their twitter accounts pretending to know every little detail that is going on in eery conference on a daily basis is funny. They don't know stuff. All they do is guess. There was a short period of time when information was being leaked out of the West Virginia athletic department, but stuff no longer happens. Now they just pretend to get info.

Wow, didn't realize how long I've been around here either. I've seen a lot of trolls come and go, but this guy was one of the classic trolls. Perhaps maybe not a troll but more like a believer - a man of faith. As delicious as it is to see a cult member lose faith, it's also quite sad to see someone's world view get shattered too.

Love that WVU Math !

"This what I've been told (Told in secrecy so don't tell anyone) about how it's all going to play out. There will be 5 conferences...North, South, East, West. All current P5 schools will go into a conference. Each conf will have two division and a championship game. There will be a 10 team playoff. The 5 champs will go into the playoffs. The other 5 will be chosen based on schedule. Wins, losses, quality wins, home/road wins, etc. There are no quality losses. Keep this under you WVU ball cap."

Don't let the math overshadow the logic: "This is what I've been told in secrecy, so I'm going to put it on the internet."

Buck is a legend.(In his own mind and on a few expansion / realignment forums as well) He is passionate, right or wrong, he's passionate about what he believes. It's sad (maybe funny in some way) to see him finally come to the realization that things happen in college athletics that don't revolve around WVU.

I am still LOL at his assertion that "There will be five conferences - north, south, east, and west." :)
