Whoever it was, you can bet they'll likely never get the shot there. I just wish it was known who this candidate was officially.

On the same night that I put up that post, Chip Brown from Orangebloods.com had this interesting tidbit (via Warchant.com):

But it should be getting more and more clear after Maryland’s departure from the ACC, Florida State is not sitting around playing solitaire.

According to Warchant.com, the Florida State site on the Yahoo!/Rivals network, FSU officials are now exploring conference options and have put out feelers to the Big Ten.

Before Maryland reached out to the B1G to jump, Mizzou got straight up rejected apparently after their AD or president started leaking that they were in with Rutgers.

its not about keeping it at 14, its about what the conference is looking to do from a goals perspective, hence why if their targets are not available, they will not expand. They are not going to expand for the sake of expansion.

I mean according to this thread that’s not the case, imo they’ll pass the 14 team mark the second a worthwhile add is available.

Bingo! And that moment is right before the XII GOR is up. Look for OU, UT and KU to get some nice gift baskets of wisconsin cheese, maryland crabs and chicago steaks.

Don't forget the CIC. You know that's the closer in these deals...

I remember Rutgers greatest moment in their history: a win on a Thursday night about 13 years ago. Still trying to capture the magic.

Hang in there: I bet you'll double your win total this year.

There are actually several decent Rutgers fans here but you are so fun to mess with.

Just ignore the fact that no one brought up Pitt until the trolls came around. I'd say there are some decent Cuse fans around but we all know thats not true.

Your teams have only produced 6 bowl wins and a final 4 I guess in the 70s.

And your "great bball program" has only won a single national title.

Who said great? I''ll take being a top 15 Basketball school all time, over anything your school has ever done. Atleast we have something to cheer about. I cant believe Rutgers even has fans go to games. All you commit to is losing. And messing up the budget. Your school is a complete joke. You're going to keep losing while we continue to go to final 4s with a chance to win it ( I know so horrible) (while we lead the COUNTRY in attendance. And win bowl games. Nothing you know about. You only have 6. Its Pop Warner over there. Actually I think a Pop Warner team could beat Rutgers.

Ooooooh did I strike a nerve skippy?

Are you made that we've won just as many bowl games as you since Clinton was in the White House?

Why would I be mad? Theres nothing to be mad about. Ok we hit a drought. Rutgers are pure losers. Over your whole lifespan. You're the biggest joke and dont even realize it. Although some of you do. You just wont admit that you look up to Syracuse. You wanna be winners one day. You just dont know how. You're whole family are losers and dont know how to win. You're ashamed. It's ok. Sometimes your best isn't good enough.

I know, this guy acts like Jim Brown is still on the team or something or that their single NCAA BBall title puts them on the same level as UNC or Duke. hahaha

Average Joe that has Natty's in both FB and BB. Leads the country in attendance for basketball. Fifth all time in Hoops wins and around 20 for all time football wins. Has more NFL HoF inductees than every school but a few. Finished 15th last year in FB. Made two Final Fours in last 6 years. Yes that is average.

Hes still mad over that win Cuse got in Ohio State last year. And hes sticking up for his little 4'11 friend from Rutgers.

1) I don’t get mad at Average Joe trash talk.
2) Football: Yeah yeah yeah you guys were good around the same time the military academies were good (50s-60s). Congrats on a good year last year though.
3) Basketball: Above par program. Carmelo Anthony was cool. Stupid arena. OSU and Cincy both on the same level.
4) Pedophilia is a disgrace. But that was Penn State. Ohio State was sexual abuse. Still an absolute disgrace. I’ll trash my own school for that crap. Only thing I don’t understand is why one of the men wrestlers didn’t kick that docs ass.
