What year?

'97, IIRC. Seems like every time they have a shitty year we don't play them.

Sort of like this year.

:)

LMAO

I see where my "inspiration" came from, now. My suspicions were there for a reason. Apologies for blatant plagiarism.

:rolleyes: You're a moron. Per usual.

:toast: For three hours anyway. Then I will take a bath in rubbing alcohol.

Mizzou didn't try to move to the Big 10?

I didnt say that. It was stupid to bump this when there was no new realignment news.

Lawlz @ Baitism posting peoples pics nice shirt bruh

Hey dipshit, I don't give a **** about Mizzou.

Is there going to be a Big 12 championship game next year?

Hey billay, how old is that pic that keeps getting posted? And you shouldn't be worried about it being posted. Just own it. It's a great pic. It makes me lmao every time I see it.

I dont know, but I heard every team will play one another.

I thought that I had heard that the conference had petitioned for a championship game at one time but I haven't heard anything about it since. I assume that next year there won't be North and South divisions either.

The dildo was photoshopped the pic itself is from Halloween 4 years ago

yea I know it was photoshopped. But you're a CP legend now. It's just frapping hilarious. I don't mean that in a demeaning manner. Everybody has a photo like that.

There won't be a championship game. No divisions either. Round robin in football and 100% home and homes in basketball.

"Internet tough guy" was a great idea for a costume. Congrats. It looks like it took a lot of preparation to pull it off. The dedication it must have taken shrink by 4 inches, lose all of your muscle tone, and gain 20 pounds just for a Halloween costume is commendable.

You're like the guys at Missouri-Rolla who grow beards for 6 months leading up to St. Paddy's day. Fantastic work all around.

You're so reeruned i'm surprised you don't need a breathing tube.

Maybe I'll go as a reeruned guy for Halloween. In order to be as dedicated as you were, I'm going to need to start bashing my head on rocks now.

You don't need to start doing anything you're already there human drivel.

For some reason this post made me laugh into a coughing fit.

That takes a lot. I don't really LOL all that often when reading this board.

:clap:

Is this how you live your life? In a constant state of defensive aggression? Do you do curls thinking about all the people that tease you? Jesus, lighten the **** up.

I'll take billay in a reerun match vs Saul Good. Just saying.

When you say reerun match, do you mean a fight between reeruns; or a reerun-off, with a number of tests and competitions to determine who's the bigger reerun?

I guess it doesn't matter. I take billay.

Texas latest to benefit from ESPN tossing around wads of cash
Posted by John Taylor on November 5, 2010, 2:15 PM EDT
It was long thought that the allure of a greater future financial reward is what kept Texas — and thus, three other fellow Big 12 schools — from ditching their current conference and spooning with the Pac-10 this past June.

Today, that thought has been confirmed, and in mind-boggling fa$hion.

According to Chip Brown of Orangebloods.com, Texas and ESPN have reached an agreement for the latter to distribute the Longhorn Network starting in the fall of 2011 and continuing through 2021. The length of the deal for a fledgling television network that won’t even be launched for another year is far from the most stunning aspect of this story; rather, the fact that ESPN will shell out $12 million per year for the rights to televise UT sports is a landmark, game-changing shift on the collegiate sports landscape.

With the ESPN deal combined with their conference revenues — yes, the ESPN deal is on top of that — the UT athletic department will generate at least $30 million in revenue next year, and at least $32 million annually starting in 2012. To put that into perspective, Big Ten schools reportedly receive $20 million annually from their various deals, while SEC schools receive in the neighborhood of $17 million.

The Pac-10 had forecast between $18-$20 million annually for each school if the Big 12 members had bolted westward. The deal breaker for the Longhorns, however, was the insistence that they would have to give up the rights to their own network in order to join the conference.

Based on today’s news, it’s not hard to see exactly why Texas remains a member of the Big 12 instead of making preparations for a 2011 Pac-10 launch. And hard to see how much longer Texas will remain a part of a conference before striking out on their own.

I wonder what is keeping UT from going Independent? They have to have evaluated the prospect.

Nobody would play them and the automatic BCS bid for winning the conference.

You don't think they could keep some of their natural rivalries, add the current flavors of the month aka Boise State, Utah and set up a schedule like Notre Dame has?

Missouri stays losing.

Dude, if you wanna talk MU football, start a MU thread or post this in the Nebraska thread. Bumping this makes no sense.

I didn't bump the thread you dolt.

My bad. Carry on...

You did last week.

I think A&M and Tech would refuse to play them out of spite. I don't think OU would add them to their non-conference schedule either. Boise State and Notre Dame would definitely line up to play them.

Right now, Texas has the best of both worlds. They have the BCS bid and conference scheduling that being a part of a conference gives you plus they get to keep all their own TV money.

The good news is, I think the Big 12 looks more inviting to Notre Dame if they'll let them keep all their TV money too.

Oh yeah. They will add ND and Boise.

I'm sure they have. And I'm certain they've come to the conclusion they wouldn't be able to pull it off. They have appeal, but it's not the appeal of ND.

Plus, it'll be great watching KSU kick UT's ass on their own network.

Who wants to see UT play Navy? Or MSU? Or Air Force, PITT, Tulsa, Western Michigan?

ND doesn't want a schedule that includes UT. That schedule is set up to maximize wins.

UT knows it doesn't get any better than they have it now. So does ND.

Some people are saying this is the new Big 10 logo (the Michigan, Ohio St Big 10 that is)... lulz

http://i.usatoday.net/communitymanag...tenx-large.jpg

I see the '1' but I don't get it. :(

You do know your school is in the UT Conference don't you?

[QUOTE=vailpass;7255862]I'm sure he knows. Too bad you don't have to worry about having a dog in the fight.

I think he was just trying to avoid confusion since the Big 12 has 10 teams now and the Big 10 has 12.

[QUOTE=Dave Lane;7255872]Loon, the next time I give a shit what you have to say will be the first.

No, I just think the new logo looks really funny.

Cyan is an interesting choice?

I don't get the "1"?

Plus they're going to call their divisions "Leaders and Legends"

bwahahahahahaha!!!

Wow, that's the lamest thing I have heard all month.

JEALOUSY!!!11

Are you alluding to something here?

Welp. Easily the most pompous division names that I've ever heard. East and West just don't have the necessary cache, apparently.

I think the "G" is supposed to look like a "0" so the logo has a "10" in it.

You'd think with the addition of Thug Pelini they would have worked a crying baby into the logo somehow.

FYP or whatever.

The Big 10 has a number one in their logo. This signifies that Nebraska is number one in their hearts and that Bo goes number one in his pants.

The N in Ten is almost the Nebraska logo N.

FYP

Isn't the whole point of redesigning it to make it look like the Big 11? I don't see how they accomplished that.

If they were going to keep the big 10 name, why didn't they go with this? http://www.learfield.com/oldblog/pho...5/13/big10.jpg You can clearly see the 11 in it.

And the Legends vs. Leaders is the gayest thing ever ROFL

For one thing, there are 12 teams now so that might be why.

And this is why I don't participate in college football discussions

LOL It was an easy mistake to make since the names quit matching the number of teams in the conferences.

That looks ****ing stupid. The Big 10 and 12 need to swap names, also. ****ing reeruns. LMAO

LMAO Corny. They should just go with East and West.

I prefer Least and Worst.

I want to see the media use "1G" for "Big Ten." Pentagram = ****ing reeruns.

The Big 12 issued a release earlier this afternoon which stated that “commissioner Dan Beebe will be available to the media via teleconference to provide an update on the latest news regarding the Big 12 Conference” at 4 p.m. ET. Based on the word coming from a writer for the Sports Business Journal, at least some of the latest news will involve a sizable new television contract. The SBJ‘s John Ourand sent out a tweet shortly after the release stating that the Big 12 will announce a new multi-year deal with FOX Sports. The SBJ had reported last month that the two sides were putting the finishing touches on what would be a 13-year, $1.17 billion deal for the second-tier rights to football games; apparently, the deal that’s expected to be announced today will be somewhere in the neighborhood of the numbers first reported in March.
The new deal would represent an increase of roughly 350 percent over the previous contract. However, the previous deal was sliced up amongst 12 schools; with the departures of Colorado and Nebraska for other conferences, each member of the conference will get an even larger slice of the new financial pie. Not each member of the conference will get an equal slice, however, as Texas, Oklahoma and Texas A&M will receive a greater share than the other seven schools, a stipulation that resulted from their threat to bolt for the then-Pac-10 in the summer of 2010.
The conference’s first-tier TV rights run through 2016, with ESPN and ABC paying a total of $60 million annually.
That $150 million-per-year total falls well short of conference financial behemoths the Big Ten ($214 million) and SEC ($205 million), but is on par with the $155 million the ACC is expected to bring in with their newly-minted deal. All of the BcS leagues could be looking up to the Pac-12 in the very near future, however, as that conference is expected to sign new deals that would bring in a rumored $222 million annually.
FOX is also believed to be one of the two frontrunners for the Pac-12′s new TV package.

CHA-CHING! :thumb:

So you're on par with the ACC but not the SEC or Big 10? Lawlz congrats!

10 teams and for most schools much smaller enrollments.

pwnt

Tier-one contract is about up, so this information is damn near dated. And, as others have said, dividing the money between fewer teams certainly helps.

If you're a school like Nebraska that only cares about football the move to the Big 10 was a great one. They'll still be making more than what they would have made had they stayed in the Big 12 plus they will be on TV everyweek now where as 1/3 of the games in the past weren't televised.

Every Big 12 game now televised.

Hey if I was a Nebraska fan I'd be thrilled with moving.

If you can't win anything in the Big 12 you might as well try somewhere else.

Yea they were never going to win the Big 12 ever again despite almost winning it the last 2 years with Zac ****ing Lee and an injured freshmen QB.

That will be nice. I can watch the 'Hawks lose instead of listening on the radio. :)

You'd think they would make more money if there was a playoff system...

Pretty much.

You'll be amazed at how different the game looks when Bob Davis isn't calling it. That 6-3 loss to Northeastern western northern state won't be such a barnburner next year.

Not each member of the conference will get an equal slice,HOWEVER. Texas, Oklahoma and Texas A&M will receive a greater share than the other seven schools.
Have fun with that. Sounds like a win ,win for all.:shake:

It's easy not to notice just how far the Huskers have fallen until you see a Husker fan beating his chest about (almost) winning a (conference) championship (before getting dominated by a 6-6 Pac 10 team in the Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl).

It was the weakest the Big XII has been in a decade, and Texas and Oklahoma both reminded Nebraska of its place. Off goes Nebraska, not with a bang but a whimper.

Nebraska has been kicked out of the AAU.
