It is a constant moving target that changes anytime they need an excuse as to why certain schools get left out.

There's no reason for us to not be in. It's mind boggling.

I get it. You are sick of getting laughed at, and it's revenge time; no problemo, enjoy yourself. At the end of the day, myself and others got information that didn't pan out. You will always be getting laughed at by everyone.

..didn't pan out ? So are you saying that you WERE WRONG--that we were not #2 on everybody's list only behind Cindy ? Come-on you can say it

That was the information I got; which has been corroborated by others; one of whom is an ambassador who can pick up the phone and call Rudd, Veatch, Bowen, Silverfield, Norvell, etc. Another is TripleA, who is very dialed in.

As an example, let's say that someone lost their mind and told you that you were smart, and you posted it on the board. You would be truthful if you repeated it, but the information would not be accurate.

Lifetime ban that I didn't say that we were #2 on everyone's list. Take the bet Jethro. Do it.

Who is “us”? The team that you decided to spend 24/7 following? One that you absolutely no connection to? That’s totally normal! Lol

Myself, Griffin and TripleA don't have the same sources and I'll assume that others that corroborated what we said, also didn't have all of the same sources. Griffin's sources are Rudd, Veatch and Silverfield, and before Bowen and Norvell. Having nothing to do with any of us, it was posted on this board that Tubby was told when he took the job, that we were going to the Big 12. I will look up the posts...

Here is the deal little guy. There are lots of Liverpool fans in the US, lots of Yankee fans in Canada, lots of Canadiens' fans in Europe, lots of Bulls fans in Asia. Literally nobody, but you and the memtiger1998 midget care that I'm in Canada.

My pro hockey team, is the most famous franchise in the world. I see people all over the world wearing it. When this happens, it is a source of pride. Everyone I have met associated with the program have universally thought it was super cool that I was a fan.

You and the other little guy freak out over it. No surprise.

The article says the reason the BIG12 said that they might not be finished is because Houston/TCU may still jump.

I would copy and paste it here --but like STAMMERS/SQUIGGY/MENSA MAN/#2 ON EVERYONE'S LIST---says I don't know how. LOL It was an article in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram 9-11

Sorry if POPE

Do you have a link Jethro?

Very weird if true. Neither TCU, nor Houston do great tv ratings. Both are at least 5th in their respective markets.
But in terms of Nielsen DMA Ratings for cities, Houston is ranked a top 8 while Memphis is ranked 50 to take in perspective. Forth Worth is ranked 5. It's not just a school rating but a city perspective when looking at media markets.

Yeah, it’s super cool. And super normal. It’s beyond creepy. But go ahead and tell yourself it’s OK that you’ve posted 33,830 times on this site. Kind of creepy, eh?

I can see that but I would imagine OK State is ready to jump and/or Texas Tech. The combo of Houston and TCU just makes no sense unless it is a literal grab for the largest TV markets the Big 12 has.

I can see that but I would imagine OK State is ready to jump and/or Texas Tech. The combo of Houston and TCU just makes no sense unless it is a literal grab for the largest TV markets the Big 12 has.

Article explains why Houston was considered in the Pac 12.

Houston is not a member of the AAU, but it’s an R1 research school. It’s public. It just built a medical school. It’s reasonably accessible from the West Coast (i.e., non-stop flights). And it’s the No. 8 media market in the country.

Also, according to Navigate’s research …

— Houston’s athletic department spent $22.92 million on equipment/facilities and $16.55 million on coaching salaries in 2019.

The median figures for each bucket in the Pac-12: $22.98 million on equipment/facilities and $20.26 million on coaching salaries — and that’s with substantially lower annual conference distributions.

(Data source: Knight Commission and USA Today.)

— The Houston football program’s average power ranking (S/P+) over the past five years is 57.4.

The Pac-12 average isn’t much better: 49.3.

— Of the Pac-12 teams, only Oregon’s viewership is higher (4.66).

(Data source: SportsMediaWatch)

And we’d add one final thought:

Once Oklahoma and Texas depart, the Big 12 will have zero presence in the massive southeastern Texas region.

The SEC will be king, of course, but there’s room for a prince. The Pac-12 should fill that void before the ACC does.

So from here, it’s clear: In the Pac-12’s expansion universe, Houston is the no-brainer No. 1 pick.

I could definitely see a grab of some these teams. And I could see teams poaching the ACC too.

The only secure conferences are the SEC and B1G. I believe the PAC 12s best defense is geography. I’d be surprised if the SEC would go that far as the PAC schools, as they could poach the ACCs best teams. The PAC 12 may choose to get proactive and take a few Big 12 teams.

I could see the SEC taking a couple of ACC teams. Possibly Clemson and ???? The B1G might find a team like Virginia interesting.

That's not what a lot of league sources are saying. There's a reason why there were talks of the Pac 12 expansion and their official statement to not expand during this time.

I can see that but I would imagine OK State is ready to jump and/or Texas Tech. The combo of Houston and TCU just makes no sense unless it is a literal grab for the largest TV markets the Big 12 has.

Article explains why Houston was considered in the Pac 12.

Houston is not a member of the AAU, but it’s an R1 research school. It’s public. It just built a medical school. It’s reasonably accessible from the West Coast (i.e., non-stop flights). And it’s the No. 8 media market in the country.

Also, according to Navigate’s research …

— Houston’s athletic department spent $22.92 million on equipment/facilities and $16.55 million on coaching salaries in 2019.

The median figures for each bucket in the Pac-12: $22.98 million on equipment/facilities and $20.26 million on coaching salaries — and that’s with substantially lower annual conference distributions.

(Data source: Knight Commission and USA Today.)

— The Houston football program’s average power ranking (S/P+) over the past five years is 57.4.

The Pac-12 average isn’t much better: 49.3.

— Of the Pac-12 teams, only Oregon’s viewership is higher (4.66).

(Data source: SportsMediaWatch)

And we’d add one final thought:

Once Oklahoma and Texas depart, the Big 12 will have zero presence in the massive southeastern Texas region.

The SEC will be king, of course, but there’s room for a prince. The Pac-12 should fill that void before the ACC does.

So from here, it’s clear: In the Pac-12’s expansion universe, Houston is the no-brainer No. 1 pick.

Nonsense. Stammers and his team of insiders said no one wants Houston.

I get it. You are sick of getting laughed at, and it's revenge time; no problemo, enjoy yourself. At the end of the day, myself and others got information that didn't pan out. You will always be getting laughed at by everyone.

..didn't pan out ? So are you saying that you WERE WRONG--that we were not #2 on everybody's list only behind Cindy ? Come-on you can say it

That was the information I got; which has been corroborated by others; one of whom is an ambassador who can pick up the phone and call Rudd, Veatch, Bowen, Silverfield, Norvell, etc. Another is TripleA, who is very dialed in.

As an example, let's say that someone lost their mind and told you that you were smart, and you posted it on the board. You would be truthful if you repeated it, but the information would not be accurate.

Lifetime ban that I didn't say that we were #2 on everyone's list. Take the bet Jethro. Do it.

TRIPLE A----is just like you----he has never been right about anything----HE WAS WRONG--JUST LIKE YOU WERE-----come-on STAMMERS---FONZIE said it ---say it STAMMERS--be MAN enough to say you were wrong

I don't believe for a second that the Pac-12 considered this at all.
