Yes, because I corrected you on the relative conference brand value of Maryland vs Louisville. And you're a Louisville fan. I get it.

No, it's because you're arguing with literally EVERYONE in this thread that doesn't agree with your "points". You didn't "correct me" on dick. Meanwhile, you said USF to the B1G made sense with a straight face thus rendering any dumb*** opinion you have null and void moving forward.

I said that it was possible that the B1G could find USF attractive. I did not say it was likely, in fact I said the odds it happens are very low. Could I be wrong and the B1G literally has zero interest in USF? Absolutely.

The B1G has 0 interest in USF. I'll go ahead and say it for you. Meanwhile, you've managed to make this thread all about you when it started out about the BigXII and Boren's desire for it to go to 12.

Get used to it with Quo.

There is one thing that Oklahoma has to worry about: Oklahoma *alone* isn't the problem. The SEC, Pac-12 and Big Ten (yes, the Big Ten, regardless of AAU status) would ALL take Oklahoma *alone*.

The issue is that OU cannot politically go anywhere alone - they are tied and bound to Oklahoma State as a package. For instance, it's a gross misnomer among conference realignment observers that the Pac-12 supposedly rejected OU. That's absolutely incorrect: they rejected an OU/Oklahoma State package. OU has never offered itself to any other conference by itself because it can't do it politically. If OU were truly a sole free agent, they'd incur a bidding war, but the reality is that they aren't (and likely can't ever be) in that position. They have to take Oklahoma State along with them, which is something that the Pac-12, SEC and Big Ten won't agree to.

That's why Boren is looking at the long-term: OU is stuck in the Big 12 as long as it can't separate itself from Oklahoma State, which could very well be forever. This is where OU is much more vulnerable compared to a lot of other football powers in the conference realignment game.

I have to respectfully disagree with you Frank…. This topic has been discussed numerous times, and OU wasn’t getting into the PAC 12 without Texas and the LHN—period! Here’s a quote and the link for the umpteen time to prove this point:

“But it appears the ‘deal’ fell through before either president [for OU or OSU] could take any sort of action, as Scott and Texas reportedly could not come to an agreement on how to pursue the Longhorn Network.”

http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com...c-12-snub/

This quote also discloses that Scott and Texas were in negotiations, but “could not come to an agreement on how to pursue the Longhorn Network.” The LHN could not have been discussed unless Texas had not seriously inquired about joining the PAC 12. This means that the PAC 12 turned down OU, OSU, and Texas because of the LHN: Texas was unwilling to give up control of its network and Scott knew that wouldn’t be condoned by the other PAC 12 members.

Right, which is why you decided to make this post, in which you declared that USF (and UCF, lol) have no shot at getting in to any P5 conference. That's strictly focused on Boren's desire for the Big XII to go to 12:

"I'm a supporter of Houston getting into a P5 conference, be it the BigXII or the PAC. UConn and Cincinnati both have legit cases to be made for their inclusion as well, and hell I could even argue a case for Memphis. Sorry USF and UCF, I just don't see it in the cards for either of you two."

Good grief.

Which was said in response to your rambling posts about USF to the B1G and Christ knows what else you were spewing forth.

You're right JR.

Time to shut down this thread. The UCF fans can't seem to stand someone not agreeing with them and have just done continuous attacks on Quo for stating an opinion they don't like.

As Yul Brynner would say, "So let it be written. So let it be done." I had company and was away for dinner and while gone we got two more pages of this.
