I haven't seen a lot of these.
I don't see anything anywhere from any real source that says the Big 10 sends Notre Dame party invites almost on a daily basis.
I have to call b.s. on that rumor.
if it's legit, then a credible source should have picked it up by now.
The part that said Notre Dame and UT held hands while going into the Big 10 meeting and laid out their demands.The rumor that they talked?
Notre Dame keeps saying no and neither school really have a reason at this point to be proactive in trying to join another conference.
since it's only a messageboard fool saying it, that's probably a good call on your part.![]()
generally, where there's smoke, theres fire, even when "credible" people, or the people involved themselves deny deny deny. even though I like to with you (lol harrell lol tech), i know you are a pretty smart dude, and are most definitely smart enough to know that.
how big the fire is the better question. there isnt a doubt in my mind that some sort of talk has taken place between UT and the big 10. doesnt mean it went far, and it probably hasnt.
I don't know what you consider to be a credible source, so I can't say if a credible source has picked it up yet by your standards.
They were purposed terms first off. Second the rumor states that each party should do what is best for each party and that they preferred the status quo than to joining the Big 10. Third, like I said you can believe what you want. If you think this rumor is B.S. than more power to ya.
Kind of like how the SEC said in August that they were happy with the current alignment and then 2 weeks later voted to accept Texas A&M, right??
ND will continue to say no until it has to say yes. Everyone knows that.
an actual media sponsored web site quoting university sources would do.
some slappy throwing out on a messageboard doesn't do.
I do think that Notre Dame and UT meeting up with Big 10 officials last night is BS until someone with rep confirms it.They were purposed terms first off. Second the rumor states that each party should do what is best for each party and that they preferred the status quo than to joining the Big 10. Third, like I said you can believe what you want. If you think this rumor is B.S. than more power to ya.
It's rather silly to think that a meeting like that could happen with such secrecy.
More power to your silly beliefs.
wrongKind of like how the SEC said in August that they were happy with the current alignment and then 2 weeks later voted to accept Texas A&M, right??
The SEC talk about being happy was clearly for legal purposes because of the Baylors of the world.
exactly, which makes a meeting of this type make little sense.ND will continue to say no until it has to say yes. Everyone knows that.
There have obviously been no formal talks.
No reason to think there havent been some informal phone calls here and there between school officials to test the waters.
Other sources have confirmed the meeting. Not just the individual at on the message board. I take that post with a grain of salt, but that particular poster has been correct more often than not last year on things of expansion nature.
You are not going to see a media sponsored web site quoting a university source with this, because it is no in their interests to seek the media coverage.
A poster in a previous page has referenced another source other than that message board.
Good for you.
Are you re ed? based on your previous responses I seriously have to ask at this point.
My belief that something can happen without a media outlet confirming said event. I'm really reaching there. I'm pretty sure secret meetings happen all the time in this world whether it be in regards to sports, publicly traded companies and yet those meetings go largely unreported by media outlets.
You missed the point, not surprising, and then made some other random statement.
How does it not make sense. It was a contingency meeting in case the Big 12 were to completely dissolve and super conferences began to form. I don't get how you think that doesn't make sense. You honestly don't think schools are meeting behind closed doors discussing what happens if X happens, or Y happens.
great, link these sources.
so who is the original source that knows of this meeting?You are not going to see a media sponsored web site quoting a university source with this, because it is no in their interests to seek the media coverage.
what is the source?A poster in a previous page has referenced another source other than that message board.
Butthurt for you.Good for you.
Good entertainment for me.
Are you re ed? based on your previous responses I seriously have to ask at this point.you are the one defending a rumor from a random poster on a Northwestern fanboard.
I've got a better reason to call you re ed, tbh.
good for you and your silly beliefs.My belief that something can happen without a media outlet confirming said event. I'm really reaching there. I'm pretty sure secret meetings happen all the time in this world whether it be in regards to sports, publicly traded companies and yet those meetings go largely unreported by media outlets.
Your analogy was pretty re ed, tbh.You missed the point, not surprising, and then made some other random statement.
As long as the Big 10 teams continue to schedule Notre Dame year in and year out and ND continues to love their independence, the Irish have absolutely no reason to be proactive in requesting a meeting to discuss joining.How does it not make sense. It was a contingency meeting in case the Big 12 were to completely dissolve and super conferences began to form. I don't get how you think that doesn't make sense.
Honestly, if the Big 10 wants Notre Dame, they need to just remove them from the schedules altogether and force their hand.
You honestly don't think schools are meeting behind closed doors discussing what happens if X happens, or Y happens.
who went to this meeting for UT?
who went to the meeting for Notre Dame?
where was the meeting held?
who is the source that is leaking this info to a Northwestern University messageboard poster?
how would the Longhorn Network run by ESPN be more likely to partner with Fox or NBC and less likely to partner with themselves?
Um, nope. Google it yourself.
an individual.
an individual
You use the word "butthurt" way to much. Probably a common word for you with your lifestyle.
Not defending the rumor. Where have I supported the rumor. I said it was interesting "if" true. You are the individual who thinks that if a source is not identified than a story is not true. If that was the case you probably were in denial of the Watergate scandal becuase "deepthroat" was an unidentified source (until his death bed) that brought down Nixon as president.
OKay.
Yeah and your response to that analogy didn't even acknowledge the point being made, and just went on some other random tangent. Usually when a point is being made you don't just go off and spout off something random that has nothing to do with the original point being made.
Sure. Piss someone off before inviting/forcing them to the conference. I'm sure that would go a long way into making ND think about joining the Big Ten.
You read the rumor. None of those things were identified. Why don't you contact the poster on that messageboard and Joe Lullon and ask them your questions. But you asking me to answer those questions when you already know the answer proves your inep ude.
an individual that works at the big ten office if you go by Joe Lullons information, who is not the same person as the poster on the Northwestern board.
Those questions were not answered in the rumor. Quit pretending like I made up the rumor and have any and all answers to it. I merely posted the link for discussion purposes and you turn everything into absolutes. It is just a discussion bro, get over your loser ego and just participate in the discussion.
I did google it.
I found it to be a bull rumor.
Your continued butthurt over me calling it bull is fantastic though.
You are way too "butthurt" about this, tbh.You use the word "butthurt" way to much. Probably a common word for you with your lifestyle.
you:Not defending the rumor. Where have I supported the rumor. I said it was interesting "if" true. You are the individual who thinks that if a source is not identified than a story is not true. If that was the case you probably were in denial of the Watergate scandal becuase "deepthroat" was an unidentified source (until his death bed) that brought down Nixon as president.
you clearly think that there might be something to this rumor.
I think there is nothing to this rumor at all and I think you are stupid for falling for it.
I'm simply making fun of you running with a silly rumor and making even more fun of you getting butthurt about it in the process.
I pointed out why your analogy was a failure.Yeah and your response to that analogy didn't even acknowledge the point being made, and just went on some other random tangent. Usually when a point is being made you don't just go off and spout off something random that has nothing to do with the original point being made.
It was rather simple to do.
If that's the case it further solidifies the point that the Big 10 needs ND more than ND needs the Big 10.Sure. Piss someone off before inviting/forcing them to the conference. I'm sure that would go a long way into making ND think about joining the Big Ten.
.....which again would make little sense for ND to be proactive in reaching out to the Big 10.
Again, I'm simply calling BS on the rumor you posted and it's clearly chapping your hide.You read the rumor. None of those things were identified. Why don't you contact the poster on that messageboard and Joe Lullon and ask them your questions. But you asking me to answer those questions when you already know the answer proves your inep ude.
The easiest ways to ease your pain would be to either (1) back up what you post or (2) stop posting.
lmfao.an individual that works at the big ten office if you go by Joe Lullons information, who is not the same person as the poster on the Northwestern board.
who the is "Joe Lullons"?
Right, those questions weren't answered in the rumor. That's why I asked those questions. Rather re ed of you to not get that, tbh.Those questions were not answered in the rumor. Quit pretending like I made up the rumor and have any and all answers to it. I merely posted the link for discussion purposes and you turn everything into absolutes. It is just a discussion bro, get over your loser ego and just participate in the discussion.
Since you nor anyone else can answer those questions and more, I'll continue to call bull and if the current trend continues, you will continue to stay "butthurt".
No I just posted the link yesterday, because I knew you would go ape on it like did last year in the same thread over the same topic, that is the entertaining part.
Never said I believed the recent rumor, you make to many assumptions.
My opinion on the rumor is I'm pretty sure ND and/or Texas has conversations with the Big Ten recently about a contingency plan if certain things happen. The conversations were not meant to be proactive in actually join the conference, but as a last resort scenario. Nothing more nothing less. Was it as detailed as the message board poster laid out, probably not. Don't know, don't really care.
You are the one asking re ed questions, making piss-poor assumptions, going off on random tangents. I just get a kick out of what crazy you say next.
No you didn't.You ignored the point in the analogy and spouted off some other random thing that had nothing to do with my point. I don't think you understand the word analogy. Must be that Tech education kicking in.
Where did I ever say that ND needs the Big 10 more than the Big 10 needs ND. This just proves you make up random that you think people say or have said.
Who said ND was proactively looking for a conference. You are the only individual that has even mentioned that.
Like I said I mainly posted it to get you riled up like it has in the past.
What painThe only pain I have is the pain for anybody that has to put up with you on a daily basis. I feel pain for those individuals.
I meant Joe Lull, my apologies.
So you can read.
I can understand the questions, but if no one was going to provide you the answers, what is the point in asking them. Who ever said there was not any stupid questions, has never taken a question from you.

Blake's Butthurt
Lol at the backpedaling.
You clearly made a post implying the rumor might have legs. I just quoted it.
Let me know if you need to see what you said again.
I pretty much called this rumor bull .My opinion on the rumor is I'm pretty sure ND and/or Texas has conversations with the Big Ten recently about a contingency plan if certain things happen. The conversations were not meant to be proactive in actually join the conference, but as a last resort scenario. Nothing more nothing less. Was it as detailed as the message board poster laid out, probably not. Don't know, don't really care.
You got butthurt.
You still appear butthurt, even in the midst of the backpedaling.
Asking for a source is not re ed. Falling for a ty rumor is.You are the one asking re ed questions, making piss-poor assumptions, going off on random tangents. I just get a kick out of what crazy you say next.
I'm not assuming much other than the rumor is full of and you thought it had enough legs to want to re-post it here.
good stuff.
I absolutely did.No you didn't.You ignored the point in the analogy and spouted off some other random thing that had nothing to do with my point. I don't think you understand the word analogy. Must be that Tech education kicking in.
![]()
I don't think you know that you actually used an analogy.
You missed my point about the probability of ND meeting with the Big 10 the other night.Where did I ever say that ND needs the Big 10 more than the Big 10 needs ND. This just proves you make up random that you think people say or have said.
I'm not sure you understand what the word point means.
I'm not sure you fully read the rumor and that the things that Joe Lull has said.Who said ND was proactively looking for a conference. You are the only individual that has even mentioned that.
"He [Lull] acknowledged TV contract issues, and said both schools already made presentations to Big Ten officials."
http://www.mlive.com/sports/index.ss...to_big_te.html
I'm not sure you know what "proactive" means.
I simply called it , and you got yourself riled up about it.Like I said I mainly posted it to get you riled up like it has in the past.![]()
well played.![]()
the pain displayed in the last few pages of this thread.What painThe only pain I have is the pain for anybody that has to put up with you on a daily basis. I feel pain for those individuals.
Extremely visible to those of us that can see your backside burning.
oh, the local Cleveland weekend sports radio hack Joe Lull that has been getting shat on and accused of making this up.I meant Joe Lull, my apologies.
no apology necessary.
I'm not sure you can.So you can read.
here's a simple one:I can understand the questions, but if no one was going to provide you the answers, what is the point in asking them. Who ever said there was not any stupid questions, has never taken a question from you.
is it a bull rumor?
yes or no.
holy ! Look at all of those law breakers!
lmao Clarett
lmfao Tressel

That quote you posted in no way implies I thought "that" specific rumor had legs. You are the one doing the implying. Not me.
Yeah we got that the first 1,395 times you said it. If you have nothing else to add to the thread maybe you shouldn't be posting in it. We know you think the rumor is BS. move on.
lol at an adult using the word "butthurt" like it is the coolest word in the 6th grade.
Um, yes it is. If sources had to be named there would be no sources in instances like this if the rumor is true. Do you really think Joe Schad, other ESPN people, Yahoo sports break all their stories without sources. Most go unnamed.
You have assumed my posts have other meanings. So you have assume the rumor is bull , pretty much called the rumor bull . Way to cover your ass on that one, so IF the rumor happened to be true you can say I assumed it was BS and I pretty much thought it was BS. Way to go out on a limb there buddy.
No that was not my reason for posting the link. Once again you have made the wrong assumption yet again. Notice a pattern of wrong assumptions being made on your part.
No I didn't. You mentioned that:
That is false. If the super conferences form that ND AD said a seismic shift could change their thought process on being in a conference. So the purpose of the "alleged meeting" was to present terms if that seismic shift were to occur so they were being "proactive" in case that seismic shift were to occur and not being "proactive" in joining the conference right now.
If nothing changed then your point would have merit, but once again you missed the boat that if a seismic shift were to occur then ND was being "proactive" if such a change were to occur.
I have not read every single thing he has posted on the subject. But TV issues with Texas and ND would be issues for either team IF they were to join a new conference.
I am aware of what the word means, I'm pretty sure you are assuming the wrong idea again like you consistently do with my posts as well as other posters here.
Could of swore you assumed it was wrong or "pretty much" thought it was bogus.
You have a sad case of denial bro. Ask anyone here they all think you are a tool.
Good for Mr. Lull. What sources are calling him a hack. I demand sources
Can I assume it is false like you or "pretty much" call it BS like you previously have. That sounds 100% definitive to me.
haters gonna hate no matter what. Tech was just happy to get to play in Ohio Stadium, take their pay day and ass raping and go home smiling.
So we finally agree the rumor is bull ?
Na, I'll go ahead and keep posting to see how much more butthurt and backpedalling will come of it.Yeah we got that the first 1,395 times you said it. If you have nothing else to add to the thread maybe you shouldn't be posting in it. We know you think the rumor is BS. move on.
yeah, it's fun to call someone butthurt that's butthurt and watch as they get even more butthurt.lol at an adult using the word "butthurt" like it is the coolest word in the 6th grade.![]()
Ummmm.......no it's absolutely not.Um, yes it is. If sources had to be named there would be no sources in instances like this if the rumor is true. Do you really think Joe Schad, other ESPN people, Yahoo sports break all their stories without sources. Most go unnamed.
Difference is that those guys have reputations to uphold and get paid to prove their stories have merit.
A weekend sports radio hack just made a bit of a name for himself thanks to this rumor.
...and sinc hee couldn't back up his tweets with any real sources, he has now been shown to be a silly fool.
So leave nothing for anyone to assume.You have assumed my posts have other meanings. So you have assume the rumor is bull , pretty much called the rumor bull . Way to cover your ass on that one, so IF the rumor happened to be true you can say I assumed it was BS and I pretty much thought it was BS. Way to go out on a limb there buddy.
Is the rumor full of or not?
Your reason for posting doesn't matter in regards to you believing if it's true or not.No that was not my reason for posting the link. Once again you have made the wrong assumption yet again. Notice a pattern of wrong assumptions being made on your part.
You said this:If you are saying Im assuming too much here, you are either backpedalling hard or you are just re ed and can't understand the words you used."Other sources have confirmed the meeting...........but that particular poster has been correct more often than not last year on things of expansion nature."
either way, lol.
Notre Dame will never get left out of a superconference.That is false. If the super conferences form that ND AD said a seismic shift could change their thought process on being in a conference. So the purpose of the "alleged meeting" was to present terms if that seismic shift were to occur so they were being "proactive" in case that seismic shift were to occur and not being "proactive" in joining the conference right now.
You're re ed if you think they think they will get left out.
You're even more re ed if you think they could ever get left out.
No .I have not read every single thing he has posted on the subject.
Face value it looked pretty much bogus or wrong.Could of swore you assumed it was wrong or "pretty much" thought it was bogus.
After that, it took some simple googling to show it's a pile of .
it's so awesome to watch people like you get hurt when someone else exposes their posts as .You have a sad case of denial bro. Ask anyone here they all think you are a tool.
I called him a hack. It's right there with my name on the post.Good for Mr. Lull. What sources are calling him a hack. I demand sources![]()
Your ability to read sucks, tbh.
That's not a yes or no and I'm just asking for your opinion.Can I assume it is false like you or "pretty much" call it BS like you previously have. That sounds 100% definitive to me.
Again, your ability to read sucks.
if you say so.haters gonna hate no matter what. Tech was just happy to get to play in Ohio Stadium, take their pay day and ass raping and go home smiling.
lol Pryor
Never said it was true. Now what is the opposite of true. Come I think you can get this one right, well maybe.
Dude, everyone here knows your a tool. If you want to see butthurt so bad, just go to the thread where you ask for marital advice on this board, that is butthurt.
Great, more BS from a BS poster.
From someone who has probably experienced the most butthurt on this board, I'm sure you do like to watch butthurt or experience first hand.
Ok. Start naming Joe Schaad's sources, Chris Mortensen's sources, Chad Ford's. You can't name a ing one. There is a reason sources go unnamed.
Perhaps he did. Maybe be smart or dumb move for him, we'll see.
Well when you are consistently wrong in assuming ones views then yes, you specifically stop assuming what other posters think. You have been wrong almost 100% of the time when assuming other posters thoughts regarding their posts. I know, you probably get your jollies off doing that, which is fine since that probably fills a void in your pathetic life.
All I said was that particular poster had been correct in the past on somethings, not all, on the expansion topic. That in no way implies whether or not I thought the rumor was true. I know words are hard for you.
All I said was, "If the super conferences form that ND AD said a seismic shift could change their thought process on being in a conference. So the purpose of the "alleged meeting" was to present terms if that seismic shift were to occur so they were being "proactive" in case that seismic shift were to occur and not being "proactive" in joining the conference right now."
Where did I say ND would get left out of a superconference. No where.
you reaching for stuff. Keep reaching bro.
Well I just exposed your last comment as . So how does it feel to watch your self get butthurt. Although I'm sure you probably do that at home all the time in front of a mirror so I'm going to have to assume you enjoy it a lot.
Well if you are calling yourself a credible source, then I have to call BS. I guy that posts on message boards in regards to the dollar menu can't be very credible.
Good one. At least tOSU didn't fire their coach because ESPN told them to do so.
