No, Keitzman is saying A&M is bitching about recruiting.

Just like he's saying that MU fans don't like this move and Jay Nixon caused the whole thing.

He's as allergic to facts as you are.

Bitching, or laughing at the negative recruiting?

I've seen this routine from you. You say a bunch of ridiculous shit and then leave the thread for a week. How about you do that now?

Wrong. What Texas kid is going to want to play games hundreds of miles away? They can go to a Big XII school and play most games within a few hours drive from their home? aTm is already complaining about being shutout on recruits just because of it. Not that they've done anything in recent years.

And I still think KU ends up in the B1G and gets the last laugh if this whole thing implodes...

But the B1G has a problem with MU and MU got offered a 'better' conference, if not a better fit. It's a move we absolutely had to make.

BUT THEY'D HAVE 30 COMMITS AND BE 3RD IN RECRUITING IF THEY HADN'T LEFT!! [/Stooie]

I actually work and have a life. I don't have hours and hours a day to argue with worthless welfare posters.

Stop swallowing Kietzman's swill. Other schools are neg recruiting aTm. That is documented. But ...

In fact, a quick check of Rivals shows that Texas A&M is currently sitting at No. 6 in the team recruiting rankings.

Yup. This SEC thing is killing Aggie recruiting. Killing it, I tell you!

Shit - really?

Okay, I may have to stand corrected regarding A&M.

(And stand erect at what the move could do for Mizzou now...)

Wash, rinse, repeat... Yawn.

And yet here you sit - making shit up (and clearly a loyal listener of Kevin Kietzman).

Funny how that works out.

Heh. Rivals.

You are a really shitty poster.

So by all means, enlighten us.

Rivals says they've done a fantastic job this season in recruiting. You clearly have some keen insight to suggest otherwise.

So please, good sir, show us all just how badly damaged A&M has been by this whole thing.

You are an absolute joke.

**** it - "this"

I should've been more succinct.

Do you know how they get their information?

College Station to:
Norman - 358 miles
Lawrence - 686 miles
Manhattan - 659 miles
Stillwater - 436 miles
Ames - 949 miles
Lubbock - 441 miles

College Station to:
Baton Rouge - 338 miles
Fayetteville - 512 miles
Oxford - 566
Starkville - 575 miles
Birmingham - 683 miles
Auburn - 754 miles
Columbia - 779 miles
Knoxville - 940 miles
Athens - 924 miles

Yeah, but they were only playing cupcakes, and we are really going to be good./mizzou fans

Just for grins, Texas A&M also ranks sixth in the (inferior) Scout.com rankings.

Ballsack?

Yeah, the top players in Texas will be champing at the bit to go to Ames, Lawrence, Manhattan, Provo, and Morgantown in December to play shit teams. That beats the hell out 70 degree weather and 100,000 fans in the seats in the best conference on the planet. Preach on, Stu. You've really got your finger on the pulse of today's young athletes.

Hey - you didn't include Morgantown!

But you'll need to come up with an inhaler or something because facts make Stewie's asthma act up something fierce.

LMAO


That's ****ing awesome.

Heh - Scout.

Do you know how they get their information?

I pull mine directly from my rectum - so it's clearly superior.

I can understand that. I have even been watching all the Nebraska games, in one hand hoping they get crushed, and then in the other hoping they do well.

So, do you think all of this stuff that Texas has compromised on, is short term? You think they are going to run when the time is right?

ROFL

Fort Worth to Morgantown - 1475 miles

College Station to Gainesville - 922 miles

Thank you for making my point and leaving out Ft. Worth, Waco and Austin. You left out some of the SEC schools that you seem to think prove your point. Dumbass!

You try to raise the bar in scenarios like this. You lay out a battle plan, you get your armies set up, you set up a stronghold in Western Australia, and some mother****er named Stewie comes over and takes a gigantic dump over the board. Its disheartening.

Yeah, my Nebraska "give-a-shit" meter has really leveled off as of late. Colorado may as well not exist.

Nice comeback Potsy. Really? Do you know where they get their information?

It's hard not to think Texas won't bail at the first possible moment they can, if they feels that it benefits them in any way. When that time comes, and I feel secure saying it will, it's going to suck for the rest of the conference, no matter who they bring in. The next six years should be great for the Big XII, but after that?

ballsack

As I said before, where are they going to go? The SEC? Wouldn't that be rich? They aren't going to the PAC.

Oh c'mon - the Western Australia guy always gets proper ****ed unless he can develop some sort of marauding hoard before someone is able to lay siege to South America, trickle up through Africa and take to really whupin' some ass.

Never isolate yourself in Australia. At that point you're resigned to being nothing more than the guy that kills someone off, ****s someone else up, then ends up coming in 3rd after doing most of the heavy lifting.

Stewie convinced me no one will ever want Texas. They are stuck! MUHAHAHAHAHAHA

You hold that piece of Southeast Asia, and you are golden. Eventually you can make your way in to the Middle East, and even Alaska. Keep the ownership of continents away from others.

Provo's pretty close, though. Its only 1350 miles.

I'd love it if Texas went to the SEC. I would laugh my ass off.

How far is from BYU to wherever WVU is?


That's gotta be one hell of a haul.

Yeah. It really appears the Longhorn Network is headed for failure, especially after the concessions Texas recently has made.

Not hard to see it being canned after a few years. Also not hard to see it being rolled into a regional network when Texas makes its move. The Big Ten and ACC would be easy partners for that.

The PAC is not going to work currently, but Larry Scott has eyes for Texas. If the LHN is no longer a factor, I'd say there's still a strong chance UT and OU end up over there.

Well yeah - if you play with a bunch of pussies. That's why you hang out in South America and let some eager idiot that thinks he's going to take over Asia in 3 turns mess around with the guy in Australia.

Well...until Stewie shits all over the board, anyway.

1,930 miles.

They'll have to meet in the middle, say Arrowhead stadium. TAKE THAT, KEITZMAN!!

A large geographic footprint could strengthen bowl tie-ins.

JFC.

It's a plane ride extended by 45 minutes that will happen every 4th year. Geography doesn't matter at that point. What I'm talking about is the kid in Texas that can play in the Big XII and the friends and family can see several games per year (home/away) within a reasonable drive.

So would I, just to see how the remaining members would somehow try to keep the conference patched together.

"Texas left? Tis but a flesh wound! Bring in Tulsa!!!"

http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...00KqrDU8Q2epYA

Oh c'mon, you know SMU would be dying to get another shot.

Its. Just under 2000 miles. Nothing like a 4000 mile round trip to build a rivalry.

Only Big XII fans would try to spin TCU and West Virginia as a win.

TULANE! TULANE!!1111

That's why I :facepalm: over Cincy coming to the Big 12.

But

For what Tulsa is, they overachieve.


They have less students then Fort Hays State. A lot less.

Go Hurricane!

But... but... but... Texas is the debil! /MU dumbasses

Daily flights from DFW and ORD to Manhattan, Kansas.

Suck it, haters.

If Texas goes, I fully expect my ol' undergraduate alma mater to move up a few ranks and submit their application:

Truman State for the mother****ing win!

Get that footprint back into Missouri, baby! Go Bullfrogs!...I mean dogs.

So instead of having in-state games against Baylor, Texas and Texas Tech every other year and seven-eight home games every year, the Aggies are now looking at seven-eight home games with closest trips every other year being to Arkansas, LSU and Ole Miss. What's the difference for in-state kids?

Well, Waco is a close trip, as is Austin. Those are gone. Texas Tech is a haul and similar to the trip to Fayetteville.

Really, what it comes down to is one less game within 2-3 hour driving distance every year. Not as big a loss as you're hypothesizing.

Necessary evils if nobody better is asking.

Fortunately, somebody evidently is.

Is that Tommy's Rent-a-Flight airlines? Do you get to crop dust en route?

By "several" are you referring to the one conference game per year played in Texas that North teams averaged?

737 gets the job done.

American Eagle, baby. Nothing but the best.

I'm in!

American Eagle



Are you talking shit on America, now? :)

Yes. I support Mizzou, so I hate America. Stewie taught me that.

LMAO

Aturnis has assured me that you support Al Qaeda if you think Jonathan Baldwin runs bad routes.

I guess I said that to him or something. I haven't quite figured it out yet.

Just flew them a month or two ago...shudder.

Kind of like the Big 10 accepting Nebraska.

"We are an academic conference! Football is secondary!"

"Yes! We are academeea!"

"Whew! I thought for a minute you lost AAU certification."

"Oh. What?"

"AAU?"

"Oh, that! Were smart hear in Nebraska!"

"Yeah."

I don't recall seeing a Colorado score until this last weekend. ROFL


Do you think it would be to a conference, or as an independent?

Granted, you will get a different experience depending on which American Eagle route you take, as I believe they are independent carriers that are contracted out by American Airlines.

Of course, the ones that fly to and from Manhattan, KS are among the best in the world.

Next time tell my best friend hello. He is a captain and he is very hard to miss considering he is the only black guy that works for the company.

Hell, who knows? There is no telling what the conference landscape will look like in six years. I'd guess that it would all depend on the LHN, and if they feel they can rake in serious monies with it or not. I would guess a conference, but that's jsut a guess.

Racist

Sack o' balls

What can they show on their station?


No HS games.

No away games.


Are they going to force the opposing fans to subscribe to their station to watch any games in Austin? That would be a hoot.

Seriously, direct flights? I bet those are cheap!

One week ago, Dad and I flew out of Ord at the same time, him to Wichita and me to DFW. His was $500, mine was $240 rt.

True. I should have said what they think LHN can be if they went out on their own.

You're ****ing clueless about how airlines operate. Is there an aerospace Rivals site?

Uh oh, Saul - you've stepped into his wheelhouse.

He's been waiting all day for one of you poor ****ers to start talking airlines so he can drop the hammer on you.

Clever bastard, he is.
