And to think we could have had Self....

{sigh}

We would have probably ended up with Cal.

What happened to Louisville being the front-runner to replace Mizzou? It seems like West Virginia almost came out of nowhere to leapfrog both BYU and Louisville.

I wonder if there is a hangup with BYU.

Realistically he probably would have left Mizzou to go to OSU when their job opened up.

West Virginia would be the best choice, but they are trying everything they can to get into the SEC. If the SEC goes to 16, they gone.

BYU wants to be independent in FB, no?

Possibly, but think of the good years you would of had with him. No offense, but Thank God for whoever made that decision.

I didn't know if that was their final choice. Makes sense if they can swing it, try to be a mini version of Notre Dame I guess.

Well they already have their own SiriusXM and TV channel, so why not try and stay independent.

Wickedson!

KSU pres has arrived in Dallas. Looks like the fog was blown out by what has been described as SEC speed.

ESPN reporting that Mizzou is going to the SEC East. Gabe DeArmond has been saying this for weeks, but when ESPN reports it, it must be coming from somewhere credible.

Would make sense, since it wasn't entirely factual.

I wonder what ole Kietz is going to have to say today.

KK: "Missouri will never win again. It will be impossible for them to play. They'll never have it as easy as they do in the Big 12!"

Anyone else: "Um, Kevin, Missouri actually has played the second-toughest schedule in the country THIS season. In the Big 12."

KK: "Well, of course. But once the Big 12 goes back to divisions and Missouri is in the North again, it would be FOOLISH to let that opportunity go!"

Anyone else: "Um, Kietz, the Big 12 is only going back to 12 if Missouri leaves - because there's concern just adding one of the expansion options wouldn't be enough to maintain market value. And even if the Big 12 goes back to 12, the North is likely going to have Oklahoma or Oklahoma State or both in it. as well as West Virginia. Missouri might even get moved to the South division!"
