[BigOrangeGoose]

This should be fun!

Always fun to play the Pac 12 for recruiting exposure.

Playing those cheaters will get us ready for the other cheaters on our schedule (Wade, Penny, Cal, and and Bruce)...

 

[JelloPuddinPup]

I'm for it.

I wonder if Bill will declare the Pac-12 "the conference of champions" during the telecast? That and a rambling, trippy story of watching the Dead?

I saw today where some 5 star kid had a final four of Ky, Kansas, Arizona & LSU. Think he’s worried about NCAA violations?

As often as I watch games with the volume turned down anymore, I'm good.

It'll be the greatest game in the history of western civilization.

Recruiting exposure is the most overblown concept at this point. It's not 1994, every game is on TV somewhere.

Am I the only one who had to Google Tommy Floyd? And how the heck did I sleep thru that hire?

He'll go where the 'strong-assed offer' was made...

I'm inclined to agree with you; it's more likely that kids on the West Coast are going to be watching games featuring Pac-12 teams than a random SEC vs. Big Ten matchup, sure, but I've always wondered how much time high-profile recruits actually spend watching college basketball (certainly less than the average poster on this forum) and Tennessee has enough national stature at this point that it's hardly an unknown commodity and interested kids will tune in if they are so inclined.

A decent sign your program has arrived when you can secure a home-and-home with a program like Arizona and you get the first matchup at your place by returning the favor.

We have landed some great home-and-homes, recently, with blue bloods, but we usually (perhaps exclusively) have been the recipient of the return trip in games with UNC and Kansas, for example.

Hadn't thought of it that way, but you make a really good point

Ha, nope! Take the strongest ass offer available from the cheater schools, live large in your one year on campus, and then hit the NBA. Pretty smart kid, I guess (assuming the IRS never catches up to these recipients).
