I don't think BYU is the slam dunk everyone thinks. We'll see how it plays out.

Hope you're right. But, I don't think the Big XII leaks this report without some sort of commitment from all of the schools.

I would have to agree.

The insight of a MENSA----from #2 only behind Cindy-----now only behind CIN/BYU/HOU/UCF/----are we now #5 or #6 ?

WOW---NOW he is saying 2 more has to leave. By golly I think you may be correct this time SQUIGGY----I think we get in

I am frankly sick of both of you clowns. Unless either of you has something credible to add to the conversation, just drop it. We are all tired of your pissing match. Both of you are demonstrating your ignorance.

I haven't added anything credible to the conversation?

If the Big 12 only adds 4 schools then those 4 schools are merging into a sinking ship. ESPN is going to deliver the death blow to the Big 12 next round of expansion because the rest of the conferences will follow the SEC and expand to 16 teams. Most of those school will be from the remaining little 8. No need to celebrate.

I will bet him something fun. A two part bet, with a one year ban for each.

BET #1:
A one year ban on whether or not I said we were #2 on everyone's list.

BET#2:
Double or nothing, I will bet him that he can't demonstrate the ability to copy and paste an article.

Bet #1 will obviously get him a one year ban, but he can have the ban rescinded by demonstrating the ability to copy and paste. IF he is still too dumb to learn (which seems impossible), he gets two years.

This would be a scenario where everyone wins. We can all continue to laugh at him, but his 50 year attempt at learning how to copy and paste will come to a merciful, triumphant end. He will now be able to have technical conversations on how computers function with 6 year olds.

Obviously, he will cheat and get someone else to do it for him, but it will still be fun.

Dude, we’re laughing at you! A lock if we add 4? What an idiot!

I don't blame you for letting out the rage you have inside you.

On Lomax the recruit based on his ranking...

Looks like quite a few got suckered by the local media and bought the hype. All it did was help their paltry ratings. Catfished....

Context is key. It's totally cool that you are releasing all of the rage you have been carrying for the last 6 years of being laughed at for spectacularly wrong about everything.

PRO TIP: Challenging posters to lifetime bans, is probably a bad idea. That is when you are at your wrongest.

You should have taken the bet!

Nice deflection tho! What about your sources? You said we were a lock. What happened Einstein?

Obviously, I’ve gotten to you. You spent that much of your day reading old posts? Hilarious!

PRO TIP: It’s incredibly weird that you spend 24/7 on a sports message board that you have absolutely no connection to. I went to school there and still live here. Really bizarre…

It took me 2 minutes, and any of your posts will do.

You've gotten to me? Tubby was never going to get fired and everyone was a moron for thinking that, especially me, because I'm Canadian. Lomax was going to be special and everyone was a moron for not thinking that, especially me, because I'm Canadian.

I had info that didn't pan out. The Big 12 told us twice that we were in and are still telling us that we are in next round. My info wasn't bad, the problem is that my sources were given info by a bunch or jerkoffs that allowed Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, TAM, Nebraska and Colorado to leave.

You risked lifetime bans on Lomax signing with Memphis while Tubby was coach and Tubby not getting fired after he stole our money for two years. Quite the deadeye Dick. I'm actually happy for you. For once, you aren't completely wrong about something. It only took 6 years. Congrats.

Of course when you’re passed over for another team you’re always gonna feel like you got the short end of the stick, but I don’t get the love for BYU or UH. Houston has at least had some success recently, although I don’t think most people give a rip about the Cougars. BYU has a following, which I guess is what the B12 sees value in. No clue the last time they went to a good bowl game.

Admit it, you had no info. You were just doing what you always do, creeping around a Memphis sports board. Acting like you have the “highest level admin” contacts. I guess it’s better than your other creepy hobbies. Hopefully you have an iPhone and Apple will discover your other “special interest”. You’re back on ignore. Fraud!

I never said that, but I did have sources and they weren't lying to me. My sources weren't as solid as yours. Lifetime ban on Lomax signing with Memphis before he signed with Wichita, and lifetime ban on Tubby not getting fired, 10 minutes before he got fired. Those are the sources I need access to. 03-lmfao01-wingedeagle

I don't go the Montreal Canadiens' message boards because I have friends and family that I can talk to every day in Montreal, and there is a ton of media in Montreal. I am on this board because it is one of my only resources.

On the other hand, you have all of these resources, but you are here every day...and hilariously wrong about everything...and always in a state of rage. It sounds like you are the one with no friends. Putting me on ignore will be good for your mental health and should lower your blood pressure 30 points. Good riddance.

RE: If Houston, Cincinnati, UCF leave should Memphis go to the Mountain West?
The grown folks are trying to discuss the best way out of a hard situation for our Tigers and these halfwits are fighting about whose speculation (informed or not) was good or bad. I’m starting to remember why I quit frequenting and posting on this site. I was a bit of a s*** poster back in the day, but at least I reserved my fighting for invading fans of Louisville and the the second best UT in the SEC.

Memphis and Memphis fans get kicked around enough by outsiders, so how about in this moment of crisis we band together instead of kicking folks in the family?

The whole "making application" is just window dressing. It has to be done this way so that the Big12 won't appear to be tampering. Even though I have no doubt that Big12 initiated all of this, they can say, "Hey, these teams came to us." It's just a formality.

According to a reporter from The Athletic. Memphis, SMU, Tulane, and Tulsa had some type of conversations with Big 12 officials about their interest in joining the conference.
