rock_knutne;385274 wrote:Yes I did and what's wrong with that? TCU has been a very good program the past few years, membership in the Big 12 would only enhance that, plus geographically it makes sense with the other Texas schools. BTW, TCU would have given Nebraska all they wanted and more the past few seasons.

rock_knutne;386245 wrote:As for everyone jumping on me about TCU, all points are well taken and most are accurate. My point is, IF the Big 12 wants to stay together, TCU would be a perfect fit in terms of geography and being an up and coming program. The other team that would fit in well as the 12th team would be Boise St, they're a little farther north but still pretty much in the same region of the country and their program is battle tested against the bigger schools.
All this is speculation and depends on what Texas will do.
rock_knutne;386240 wrote:Your stupid blanket statement about ND fans who are worried more about money than they are winning! You make more garbage up than anyone else on here. Maybe you should drop the crack and go straight to shooting up.
krambman;386261 wrote:He does make stuff up and makes more unsubstantiated claims than anyone on here, you are correct. Yet, you continually respond to him. He only makes those kinds of statements to get a rise out of people like you. You realize this and continue responding trying to get a different result. That's the definition of insanity. Methinks you come off looking like more of a fool than him.
this quote says WAY more about ND fans than it does about the quality of ND's programs.rock_knutne;385502 wrote:I tell ya, what's funny is your post. What does ND's record have to do with anything? If that's the case, why did the Big 10 go after them yet again? It's all about money, something ND doesn't need. AGAIN, ND will be just fine, as I said before, they could lose every game for the next 10 years and the fanbase would still be there.

Again...elitist completely to the point of irrelevancy.
Amazing.
Thanks for the laughs.
BTW, I hope Italy bites it this weekend.

Yet you seem to continue to respond to him as if what he says is serious. My suggestion, use the ignore feature and stop responding to him or continue to make yourself look foolish.
