Louisville
Missouri

Sounds like A&M will follow Texas wherever it goes, but if they end up in the Big 10, they'll leave Texas Tech twisting in the wind. Perhaps they could end up in the Big East.

Hell, who knows? The "Douchebag X of Biteme.com reports" machine seems to have died down a bit this morning.

Madtown? You been living under a rock your whole life? :)

Generic schools with made up traditions like "EMAW" obviously don't care.

I didn't mean that MU ****ed up the Big 10. I don't think the Big 10 deal was ever real. Just some people talking about scenarios and then all of a sudden the MU brass started publicly talking about it.

The Big 12 didn't like this.

From there the Big 12 was shown to be weak and others have since moved in to take it apart.

I'm not saying this wasn't inevitable. I'm still not so sure why MU thinks it had it so bad in the Big 12. Their football program is much better than what it was. I just think their heads got waaay too big.

KU, KSU, etc have sat by the whole time trying to find solutions and that has been proven to be the right thing to do.

I still want the Big 12 to stay together and we plug in a school for Colorado (they sucked at sports anyway) and do it again if Neb leaves.

Turns out Kansas has been on top of this the whole time. It's now coming out that T Boone Pickens and the Sooners really don't want to go anywhere. The realization of having to play in a PAC-10 that is now heavily tarnished by USC is not so appealing.

Texas will stay and I think we're a lot further from these 16 team superconferences then people think.

But who knows, just another theory

i don't know ... last i heard was that Texas and Texas A&M were about to have a meeting to make sure that they continue to play each other in a non con game if they don't end up in the same conference.

looks like TU may be cutting all it's texas barnacle schools loose. Which is funny because Texas will lose all it's ballot stuffers in it's new conference and a lot of it's power.

Louisville
Missouri

Not a very sexy group but better than a non-BCS conference for sure.


THAT is a BCS conference?
Really?

You're an incredibly naive douche. Me listing KU with a much higher Law school ranking in Florida does not equate to cherry picking. While Education is an important area, I don't value it near as much as Engineering or Medicine.

I'm not trying to say one's better than the other.

I think Florida, Kansas, Kansas St, Nebraska and Missouri are all very comparable schools and each has their own strength.

This post is beyond reeruned. The term "jayhawk" actually has historical significance and stands for something, unlike the generic "wildcart". This argument is silly, but it sure did expose you as a ****ing reerun. :)

I don't think it did from the University's perspective, but it certainly helped as far as getting the fans on board with the idea.

I know I've got a "jerkoff" emoticon somewhere....let me find it for you so you can illustrate how hard that idea makes you.

Yes, a scumbag who uses high-minded ideals he doesn't give a shit about as an excuse to rob and murder his neighbors!
