is that why other conferences were do eager to snatch us up when expansion was happening before? Oh wait...
I'm not saying we aren't attractive, I'm saying there will be a long line of attractive options.
We weren't snatched up before because Louisville had a bigger brand and budget than we had. Now, the only other team in our part of the country that we would be competing with to move out of the AAC is Memphis. I think we get picked over Memphis because we have had more consistent success in basketball and football in recent years.

LMAO!! This is a opinion based site. You think post are based on proof. LOL! I'll ask you to do something I'm sure you have been asked many times. Go pound sand.I'll ask you to do something that you haven't ever done on any message you've ever posted on this board. can you please provide proof?
also do you think we are pouring millions into renovations to not get in a Power 5. It Is the end game.UC is being given plenty of consideration. It is why we brought in a highrofile coach nd a AD who has the experience to help get us in.I'll ask you to do something that you haven't ever done on any message you've ever posted on this board. can you please provide proof?

saying your wrong doesn't mean I'm insulting you it means I disagree. You tossed out the insult. I'm not competiting here. I'm engaging in conversation. If you don't like my post ignore them.Glad I could make you LMAO by asking how you know I couldn't be more wrong. If this is an opinion based board why not actually share an opinion as opposed to telling people they "couldn't be more wrong" then insulting them when they question how you know that.

Picked for what? No conference is expanding in the near future. Maybe in about a decade or so when the GOR's expire for the Big 12 and ACC, I could see the B1G and SEC picking apart those two conferences...
who are you to judge someone's thoughts as ridiculous? How was me saying your wrong ridiculous? is disagreeing with you a crime. If you wanted me to expand all you had to say was how so. We not not investing in facility upgrades to stay on the outside looking in. The mission I to get in. P5. NTS Is correct it may take awhile but the end game is to succeed. We won't get caught unprepared like we did in the latest round of moves.I never insulted you. You make ridiculous statements then don't want to get called on them. I seem to recall you saying "pound sand"... take your own advice.

it seems we have a difference of opinion. Have a nice evening.You couldn't be more wrong
No, Waite, bcatfollower has some valid points. We built a 90 million dollar stadium expansion for the hell of it, just as a status symbol. When you're the king of your conference, you need a suitable castle, and that's what we're doing here, nothing more. Drumming up support from your most valuable fans and donors is to get them hyped up and excited to keep them onboard while grinding out the down years through the perilous gauntlet of schools like Tulane and SMU, with the 100 or so of their fans staring in awe at what we have constructed, if they ever wish to leave Cincinnati after that.
Hiring talent like Tuberville and Boehn ensures we remain the #1 contender year in and year out lest USF or Temple wrest it from our grips in clincher, down to the wire victories as snow pounds the 15 true fans left in the stadium in the 4th quarter, breathing heavily on their hot cocoa to thaw it out lest they spontaneously freeze to death themselves. Without the talent we have acquired we might not have stood a chance against these fearsome opponents.
Finally, with all these pieces in place, we make a solid case to be invited to prestigious bowl tournament games such as the Home Depot 3/4" Load Bearing Screw Bowl in beautiful Kirley, South Dakota (they'll even fly in cameras if the roads are impassable from moose crossing, or so the contract guarantees) to compete in a show of dominance against riveting talent from other conferences like ITT Tech or Phoenix University on a good year in front of at least dozens of people, maybe even bakers dozens if we had a good season which is tough to do against our furious competition. But we will pull it off because of the already mentioned strategies employed by UC to remain the tippy top pyramid point of the AAC for now, forever into the future, and perhaps even retroactively in the past if they strive hard enough.
