Not either, but I'm glad to see we're pushing on all the doors. This hopefully helps the paranoid rest knowing we're active in this process on multiple fronts.

All is helpful, only problem with tweet is that looks like we are pushing big 12 again b/c we may get left out of big east....

I would say that you would be reading a little too much into that.
She is not a school employee, so she doesn't know the inner workings and what is exactly going on.
That and you'll stir up Model T again. Not sure he can handle it.

Well, if we're not going to get into the B12, we're at least going to annoy the [gary patterson] out of them.

Just shows school is making complete effort to improve our situation.
Sounds good to me.

During the Big 12 debacle last year, I sent Rep. Dan Branch a message (as a constituent) to not let SMU get screwed in the realignment mess and he jumped right on it, only to have everything settle down a few days later. Good to know he was willing to jump in for SMU. Waiting to see what happens next this go around.
