RT @slmandel: UConn pulls it out, which means 1) The Big East still doesn’t have a bowl eligible team and 2) Pitt, 5-4, is still alone in first.

RT @slmandel: Randy Edsall just made Les Miles look like a coward. Up 2, 2:39 left, goes for it on 4th and 1 from his own 20. Got it.

RT @slmandel: Be sure to watch Pitt Uconn tonight. Winner has a better chance of reaching BCS than Boise State or Stanford.

Benson made clear that Montana’s decision not to move up to 1-A gives Seattle’s quest for WAC membership a new lease on life.

By Brendan Loy (Twitter/FriendFeed)

Example: He freely volunteered that Denver vs. Seattle was a tough head-to-head choice, and said he expected Montana to join until this A.M.

WAC commish Karl Benson is a remarkably open & honest guy for someone in his position. Gives a lot of real answers, not couched in P.R.-ese.

Best part of the #DU press conference: Free Denver/WAC swag! (It says “DENVER” on the front.) http://twitpic.com/35zh8w

Benson may not have articulated the hashtag before “CHAOS,” admittedly. :) He also said he’d be a “spectator” in the ensuing debate.

By Brendan Loy (Twitter/FriendFeed)

I also asked Benson what would happen if Boise State were left out of the BCS altogether. He said – and this IS a quote – “It’d be #CHAOS.”

By Brendan Loy (Twitter/FriendFeed)

To be clear, that’s a paraphrase, and Benson didn’t use the word “lowly.” I’ll post the full quote later.

By Brendan Loy (Twitter/FriendFeed)

I asked a version of @krizoitz’s question to Benson. He said lowly MWC teams “aren’t on our radar” basically b/c they wouldn’t be interested

http://twitvid.com/IDJIY – #DU to the WAC is officially official.

By Brendan Loy (Twitter/FriendFeed)

Karl Benson says he will be at #DU-Colorado State basketball home opener next Thursday, the “first of many” he’ll attend.

By Brendan Loy (Twitter/FriendFeed)

July 1, 2012 is the date #DU officially becomes a WAC member. Benson just said #DU will be WAC’s “flagship member” b/c WAC offices are here.

Karl Benson and I have something in common. He just said he took a cell-phone picture of this banner, too. http://twitpic.com/35z51z

As “press conferences” go, this #DU to the WAC announcement is pretty splashy. Band, cheerleaders, athletes, etc. http://twitpic.com/35z4ft

By Brendan Loy (Twitter/FriendFeed)

10 of 17 #DU sports teams will join WAC, according to Denver Post: http://bit.ly/9wevkJ

I believe Karl Benson may be in the building for the #DU WAC announcement at Magness Arena. What Q should I ask him, if I get the chance?
