What the hell does a talk radio host in DSM on for two hours a day know about life savings?

No, you see there's a large segment on here who need to be "confident" that we'll be in the Big Ten eventually, and everything will be fine.
So, if they read a post that differs from that, they don't shrug and say "well that's their opinion." No, they need to admonish it immediately, as it threatens their mental outlook on the future, and perhaps how well they sleep that night.
You lecturing anyone on mental wellness is rich.
Hope you are correct. This would make sense, so that's why I'm worried it won't happen.
I think there is some of this. I also think there are those who think, “well, if we stay positive and ignore what is happening, then good things will happen”. Like they can will a favorable outcome into existence by denying the world around them.
I guess I’m just not superstitious.
For the 15 years this site has existed he has always been on the negative side of every topic. Sometimes he falls on the right side. More often than not he would be a gigantic troll - if he didn't believe every bit of BS he put out.
It must burn you up inside that ISU has seen its greatest success after McCarney was fired.
Posted this in the other thread.
Really hope that the service academies are getting consideration. Would be great additions for academics and add some historic rivalry games. Would go to 14 with them, BYU, CSU, and New Mexico. Conference would have somewhat decent geographic coherence, good academics, and a chance to solidify and grow in growing states particularly Colorado and Utah. Geography matters at least in my mind. Kansas west through Utah, Kansas south through Texas. WVU gets some Eastern competition via Army and Navy.
Really do not want city schools (except maybe Cincinnati), or any directional schools. UCF, Boise for instance make no sense geographically among other considerations. Those types of conference affiliations seem like a gimmick to me.
Sort of starting over here - need to build something that can last and provide stability. Would ideally have ISU in the B1G, but in lieu of that - this is my best shot.
We MIGHT be absorbed by a Power conference but 0 chance all 8 find a happy home. I would say 2 to 5 tops. But if by absorbed you mean taken by G5 conferences, then sure.
Its funny people think they are owed a statement or information. And I find the popular consensus on here pretty pessimistic. Nobody knows anything. All I know is the Big 12 should be doing as much as possible to set up for damage litigation if things don't go well for all involved. If there is a landing spot for anyone no one should say anything to that effect.
