    Big 12 moving quickly Invites 4 new members

    Stupid hypothetical question: had UConn not bailed on the AAC would they likely have been one of the invitees to the Big 12, and if so, would it have been worth it for the football money?

    OT: Chick Flicks you liked

    “Terms of Endearment” qualifies despite being based on a Larry McMurtry novel (looking over at my wife and her friend bawling their eyes out while watching it makes it a chick flick in my mind).

    Ot: Carnegie Deli Closing

    The iconic businesses in NYC are closing because the economy is up, not down, at least in the city. In the words of Jimmy McMillan, the rent is too damn high! So many of the places you assumed would be there forever are now being replaced by banks and drug stores that can pay the exorbitant rent...
