He doesn't change opinions. I listened for the first time in a couple years leading up to the bucs Monday night game, and he was still talking up Josh Freeman and getting digs in on Jameis. What a dork. I do actually feel bad for him because you can tell the age is showing up in the broadcast.

Don't feel bad for him. He's made a ton of money pissing people off and pandering to the local, mouth breathing sports talk listeners.

Two reasons for USF fans to be excited. 

 

1. USF invited to bigXII.

2. No one invited to bigXII.

I'm having deja vu, change, "Big 12" to, "Big East" and change, "Texas" to, "basketball schools" and we've seen this show before, just with less hype.

Loquacious Oklahoma president David Boren, who essentially set off the expansion maelstrom 18 months ago by saying the Big 12 was "psychologically disadvantaged" with only 10 teams, now appears to have reversed course.

"I'm not saying there won't be expansion," Boren told several reporters following an Oklahoma board of regents meeting Sept. 14. "But I'm not saying it can be automatically assumed that there will be expansion."

Even West Virginia president Gordon Gee, an expansion proponent, offers no assurances.

"I happen to be very enthusiastic about expansion, but I also understand it needs to make sense," Gee told the Charleston Gazette-Mail this week. "We need to understand the opportunities and consequences, intended or unintended. I really don't know if it's likely or less likely."

 

I want to get into porn just so my name can be Loquacious Oklahoma.

I'm sure that's not the only reason.

I enjoy the magic of film making.

This whole thing was a ruse, but it may actually backfire. I think UWV and a couple other school may try to kick open the door and breathe new life into this moribund conference. Maybe TCU gives a vote out of guilt for not joining us previously? I think there are a couple of other presidents/ADs that would like excuses to come to Florida during the winter months.

I was going to say for the close friendships, but that's a good one too.

The on set spreads? Don't they normally have good eats?

"Well, Loquacious, that's some Big Twelve you've got there!"
