You don't need a catcher for the Dutch Rudder. Only a tillerman.

Here's how I read Alden comment on #Mizzou brand: It's a message to fans: "If they make last call at Big 12 bar, someone will take us home"

This sounds pretty stupid.

Notre Dame is not joining a football conference. They make too much on their own and cannot craft their own schedule to have their toughest games sandwiched around twinkies as they have always done.

They also already have their own network, otherwise known as NBC.

Anybody ignoring Oklahoma's silence on the "We <3 Big 12!" press release front today isn't paying enough attention.

Should Oklahoma act upon its earnest desires and seek an invitation to join the Pacific-12 Conference — something I'm fully expecting to happen within days, if not hours — that decision could well be the killing blow to the Big 12 while also providing Texas the political cover to follow suit and ask for admission as well.

Quote:

Missouri ends up in the Big Ten or ACC, and Kansas heads to the Big East. If for some inexplicable reason Texas chooses not to pursue Pac-12 membership, look for Texas Tech to be left out and expect the Pac-12 to focus on Kansas and Missouri along with OU and OSU. Don't dawdle, Texas.

it's amazing they went through all that nonsense the first time to save a conference that was still only months from falling apart....


jesus, I hate the Big East...but I don't really see a landing spot that makes good sense for KU....

I would be just fine with that!!!!

The big question in all of this is if ku is really tied to KSU, OU is tied to OSU, and TX is tied to Tech or Baylor.

If not, then the Pac-12 would definitely prefer a TX, OU, MU, KU addition. But if TX and OU have to bring little brother along, then that complicates things.

I think that is where KU ends up. The Big East.

Bow down to your new basketball conference overlord NCAA. JFC. :eek:

Missouri isn't going to the PAC no matter how much HH drones on about it in this thread.

OU+OSU+Tech do I bet.

Saulbadguy 09-01-2011 07:44 AM

Oh man, can't wait for another couple of months of "ANCHOR!!!!!!111"

As far as KU/KSU go, I don't think they are "tied" to each other. I'd believe that both schools, and the state, would prefer that they remain in the same conference, but if it comes down to one or the other going to a larger conference without the other - they won't stand in the way.

As far as the Big 12 goes, it was only a matter of time before the conference was no more. It was doomed from the moment the "expansion" talks started.
