People still listen to KK?

only when we want to hear the Racin' Boys and Smoke & Fire informericals.

You would have loved the Boonville caller. LMAO

Anybody who wants to trust Texas has apparently never heard the parable about the fox and the scorpion.

Not that I'm going to automatically believe the output of a telephone game where someone reported about something that was reported by a blogger who was reporting something he was told by the Tech president who was passing on something that he was told by Deaton, without confirmation. (Is that third-hand information or 4th-hand information?)

But, if Mizzou does not have an offer and fully intends to stay in the Big 12, then what was Deaton doing last night?

There is no, nor was there, an offer to have MU join the SEC.

Yea right.

As Gabe was just saying on PowerMizzou, three potential options:

1) Texas Tech's pres is blowing smoke and trying to put pressure on Mizzou
2) Deaton did tell him there was no offer. Basically, Deaton lied/intentionally withheld full truth from Tech pres
3) Deaton made stuff up at the press conference, which would end up costing him job.

2 is the only one that makes sense to me.

Missouri does not have an offer in that the SEC does give out offers. What it sounds like Missouri has is indications that if they applied to the SEC, they would quickly be accepted.

It's splitting hairs, but there IS a difference there.

Deaton forgot that he can't pull the power play that Boren did to make Texas play fairly. I think he thought he could pull an OU. I also don't think trying that maneuver will cost him his job. He was doing it in MU's best interest, making GabeD look foolish isn't a fireable offense.

Well, thats true with every conference, but its kind of like a Sadie Hawkins dance (no, this time YOU have to ask ME to the dance!), everyone still understands that you don't apply unless you've been given a green light.

Evidently Al forgot about West Virginia...

Who is OU's AD? Does he have a tie to MU? Is it possible that since OU lost its leverage that there were calls made to MU to take the torch? I think so.

New interim commish Chuck Neinas spoke to Tony Barnhardt today, and this is what he had to say:

Chuck Neinas on Missouri: "I believe Missouri would like to remain in the Big 12." Said UM Board of Curators "may have a different idea."

He worked for the MU Athletic Department before taking the OU job as AD

Joe Castiglione is OU's AD. He was Mizzou's AD before Alden.
