And what does that have to do with now?

This is why nobody comes on here and tries to share anything legit, b/c too many people take pleasure in bashing anyone who might be wrong, rather than discussing the merits of the info.

I'm out. Not worth it. I don't need to defend myself.

Pearls before swine. I wouldn't tell these goofs anything.

This back biting on this site has become such that most posters in the know rarely post here anymore. If TripleA leaves, well, he knows more about whats going on than 95 percent of the fans here.

If that guy knows more than 95% on here ----then the rest of us don't know SHIP

Add you don’t. You are also just a royal pain.

Fan bashing? Was I incorrect here?

you were rude af. Sometimes it's better to keep such thoughts to yourself.

It’s the same negative story with every post for him and a couple of others. I don’t get it, but I’m also not a miserable person. I can’t honestly remember him posting a single positive post. Each their own.

So instead of being upset at us being squeezed out by politics, you want to do an "I told you so" and make fun of some Tiger fan (not me) for saying UH won't get in?

I'll never understand that.

I think I understand why you take that stance...

But if you want to be a praised for sharing "insider" info while also shutting down other conversation...There is a downside there.

I wasn't even talking about me. I was talking about the others who got attacked in a convo I wasn't in.

And I don't give a crap about being praised. I'm 74, have a nice life, am a huge life-long Tiger fan. Attended my first games in 1952.

I have lots of friends, some who are connected. Sometimes I try to share things I can, to be nice. No other reason. I don't lie. I don't make things up. I don't exaggerate. I don't pass along things from people who aren't talking directly to those involved.

And those who criticize almost always don't know what they are talking about. They just throw stones for the fun of it.

And this is what happens in every thread like this. Instead of debating what's in the news, a few people go on the attack and derail the damn thread.

This thread is about Houston getting in at the last minute by putting political pressure on the Big 12. Yet nobody has spent 5 seconds discussing it. A shame, really.

You’re right Triple A. I and a lot of other folks appreciate all the information and discussion you have provided over the years. I hope you don’t let a few jerks cause you to quit contributing.

What power would Texas politicians have in the deal? Without U of Texas or aTm the other 3 schools have little power remaining in the conference. Unless this was a gift to U of Houston from UT on their way out. The power in the conference should now lay outside the state of Texas.

So guessing TX politics squeezed TCU & BU’s balls into voting no to Memphis, for future perks to allow UH to entire in wave 1 & not risk exclusion.

I still don't get the allure of UCF.

Fertitta making me some money on the SPAC play (LCA) that took Golden Nugget Online Gaming public, which is soon to be acquired by DraftKings.
But yea, don't really like Fertitta apart from that.

I do. Their football program has excelled. They are the largest university in Florida. They’re in Orlando (Disney-ESPN, hello!). Big metro area. They’ve poured money into their programs. They built an OCS. Their US News ranking is 160, about 100 spots above us.

Their only negative for the Big 12 would be geography. But their positives far outweigh the negatives. Watch out for USF, they’ve finally woke up. Building an OCS. Ranked 109 nationally (US News).

As a matter of fact, they are an ideal target for the ACC. Their stock has risen faster than Bezo’s rocket.

TripleA shared the information he had at the time- he thought it was correct — the Big12 took no schools—

He was thinking that we would get in in 2016, jsw3ent apparently thought we would not get in— bath hoped they would be right
