He makes some pretty good points as well as they typical goofball stuff he likes to write about.

Thanks for the heads-up!

So the Big 12 championship would be moved to the citrus bowl rather than played on campus?

 

[Central Floridave]

Like.

 

[Ace of Knights]

That was actually a really great article.

 

[KnightVision82]

If they take 4 teams, there's no way we should be left out.

If they take 2, it will be a much greater hurdle for us.

Great article, thanks Mike. Glad to see someone is fighting for us. I wish we saw the same motivation and push from our administration as we are getting from Bianchi. It's either they are doing a lot behind the scenes to sell our school or they're quietly sitting back waiting. I hope it's the latter.

 

[KNIGHTTIME^]

Send Mike on the ucf pitch to Big 12 officials.

 

[Ucfmikes]

Good article. Let's hope it gets into the hands of the right people.

By the way, isn't Columbus, Ohio a bigger city than Orlando without an NFL team??

There are bigger cities, as in population within the city limits, but the Orlando-Daytona Beach-Melbourne TV market is what I believe is being referred to.

Thanks Mike!

Now I feel like I need to go take a 2nd shower.

 

[cnsaguy]

Great article, but calling Louisville a "big time" program is a reach.

 

[LemmyKilmister]

The tweet from Larry the Cable Guy should be the clincher.

Got it.

 

[jetsaholic]

Probably the troll's best article ever.

Mike hits a grand slam with this one! Go Bulldog!

I don't know who this guy, but if you can't get enough reading on Big-12 expansion speculation it fits in that category: https://frankthetank.me/2016/07/29/...e-realignment-summer-of-big-12-cya-expansion/

hahahaha...I know right! Larry's the man!

 

[SublimeKnight]

The tweet from Larry the Cable Guy should be the clincher.

Larry the Cable Guy is an OK booster. I read that someone mentioned the tweet to the OK president, tongue-in-cheek, and he said he saw the tweet because he follows Larry. So it may actually have been the most important point

No he is a Nebraska fan, and knows Coach Frost.

 

[SublimeKnight]

No he is a Nebraska, and knows Coach Frost.

It was the Nebraska president then. I'll see if I can find it.

 

[UCFSig]

No he is a Nebraska fan, and knows Coach Frost.

Correct. I've been to his house and he is indeed a massive Huskers fan.

 

[SublimeKnight]

No he is a Nebraska fan, and knows Coach Frost.

So I had it a little wrong. It was the OK AD who follows him:

Once the door closes on Big 12 expansion, the power conferences will be set in place for the next generation.

Gulp!

 

[80'sKnight]

Gulp!

At least some think the Big 12 will be back searching for more teams, once the magic 16 conferences begin- if that ever happens. I don't see the attraction of a giant conference- would they go to 4 divisions?

 

[The Knightman Cometh]

Thanks Mike.

Bianchi is currently looking over his shoulder:
