Geoff is reacting to his numerous attempts last week at the scrimmage to get Rudd to spill the beans. Rudd blew him off with "no comment". That should tell you one of two things. Either we are in or we are out. Rudd knows...Geoff can't get it confirmed. Everyone here has an opinion. At this point, it is a waiting game. My view is that if it was two being added, you would already have it announced.

I know Calkins has his detractors and he is kind of a dinosaur in his business but I have rarely disagreed with him.

Geoff has a gift of connecting with the long time tiger football fan in an uncanny way

See the two teams he used in his example interesting. Do not think he just chose those two names out of the air.

Even Fed Ex has same view as i do. If there is four we are certain to get in but if there is only two we are not likely to be included.

Also have to wonder how many of the recruits who committed because they thought that Memphis was going to get into Big XII will stay committed to the Tigers.

I'm pretty sure Geoff has contacts with the power boosters-he knows a lot more than he is writing but probably can't verify info through second source.

If we don't get it can we still blame RC or will we find another scapegoat?

You can read "if it was two being added, you would already have it announced," to mean the only question is whether to go to 4 or just 2 but not 0. And even if it's just 2, Tigers are still in and it would have been announced by now. Or else I'm also a TC sock puppet.

Calkins has his moments. But to say he's always fair with the U of M is simply wrong. He wasn't fair when he torpedoed potential basketball coaching candidates. And he certainly wasn't fair when he put the pressure on to hire Porter - only to throw him under the bus a year later.

his job is easier when the university is doing well, it was not going well under Porter so i don't blame him.

People have a strange way of judging someone as fair depending on if he agrees with them or not...Funny how that works
