I believe he posts more in the AAC forum.
I do miss seeing TripleA post. Always good info. Wish he were around here more.
Yeah----like about 5 years ago when we were a LOCK DONE DEAL to get in the BIG12----------the final list comes out and we weren't even in the top what 10? and nobody gets in----I miss that info----oh yeah---thats right --something changed
TripleA and Griffin both had the same info and quite a few others did as well. TripleA doesn't dare post anything here because of the Simple Jack element and your post above. So did a lot of other posters who don't post stuff like this on this board specifically because of the Simple Jack element on this boad. Specifically because of posts like yours.
It is amazing that there are posters that honestly believe that we were/are behind UConn, Rice, Colorado State, Temple, Air Force, Tulane, etc. Mind boggling, that there are posters like you.
TripleA isn't thin skinned, he just refuses to deal with the idiots.
I think he quit posting as much right after Dan Wolken went after him.
AAA had more info at that time than The Wolken did...and Wolk wasn't liking it.
Not meaning you EarthBoundMisfit----------but what is a really amazing FACT ----is that there was actually someone that thought we were #2 on everybodys list only behind Cincinnati--------and actually ahead of UCF-Houston-BYU-----with apologies to Dana Kirk--Simple Amazing-----------------by the way tripleA posted on this site 12-31----just 4 days ago ----consistency strikes again-------you just can't make this stuff up LOL

Back then, even people who didn't closely follow the Tigers thought we were on the verge of getting in.

Houston wasn't on anyone's radar.
The Lt. Gov? of Texas (some political bigshot anyway) kind of forced that deal.
They had a big $$ booster...and politicians helping them move their mountains.
We're a bit like Vanderbilt...we're in the Charlie Brown mold.
If anything bad is going to happen...it's going to happen to us.
We were in...until we weren't.

What is infinitely more amazing is that there are Simple Jack types that believe that UConn and Rice were ahead of us. Anyone with a brain would never believe that.

Lots of politics in play, but the Big XII losing a top 5 TV market after UT leaves is also a factor.

As simple as it may sound, as in most cases, follow the money.

yes Houston has a big market...however...how many of those are Coog fans...and not Texas Longhorn fans? Or Tech fans? Or Baylor? etc etc etc
Houston doesn't bring a lot to the table. When they get to the Big 12...they are going to stumble...losing streak...even more fan apathy etc.
