This is gay compared to men running around in speedo's
Is Neil Young gay to ? He owns Lionel & several live steam loco's.

Are you wearing an engineer hat right now?

I didn't say it was gay.

I think everyone is welcome to enjoy weird shit that they find fun.

All I am saying is that if you are going to make fun of someone that likes something that you think is ridiculous you would be better served to not have a completely ridiculous and silly hobby yourself.

Let he who doesn't ride tiny trains cast the first stone.

If I kill tree rats can I cast stones

If the Big 12 extended an invitation to Boise State, BYU, and TCU they would surely all come wouldn't they? I don't see why you don't do that at this point or just blow it all up.

Weren't you the one who said he was going to throw batteries at Nebraska fans because they were leaving the conference?

BYU is kinda far away but would be good for conference

Boise State would look terrible for switching conference twice is such a short time period.

TCU - Why would we want them?

If any real conferences invite Spud State the first thing they need to tell them is no more smurf turf.

Texas, Missouri, Kansas, etc would throw a fit over Boise State's academics as well.

I do not see TCU leaving....First off, why would they want to compete with the UT BS? I know there are dollar bills involved, but they are already in a BCS conference that is rather weak in football and they can easily be top dogs. If they jump to the Big 12 that won't be the case.

Boise gets extremely offended when they hear people say that. Next time spell it out.

TCU would look just as bad as Boise St. TCU is now apart of the Big East.

Houston, BYU, would be decent options.....maybe Louisville, but I do not think any of them except for Houston would bolt. The conference doesn't look that stable.

I don't think Boise State would get an offer. I think if three are offered, you're likely looking at:

BYU
New Mexico
TCU/Houston/SMU

New Mexico sounds weird, but it's a growing state with big-time basketball already on board (which shows the AD can commit to sports).

Keeps the "geographical continuity." Adds TV sets (BYU and New Mexico) and some national fanbase (BYU).

I also could see them sticking with just BYU.

why would we want another Texas school?

we want to expand our markets and we have plenty of schools from Texas already.

BYU,Notre Dame,Arkansas,Boise State etc

Heck even Colorado State would be better than another Texas school imo.

No more Texas schools.

Its going to be ND and BYU. The other school will come from the Big East, or their fall back option could be another Texas school after aTm leaves.. but I'm pulling for a BigE school. I've been saying it and saying it. ND and BYU are coming.

The only complication is that ND and BYU might be football only for the first few years.

Because the state of Texas runs your conference duh.

:louder:

If ND joins the Big 12 conference, I will kill myself for all to see on livestream. Zero chance.

Boise St is headed to the WAC.

I agree as well, not to mention New Mexico adds another state to the BCS wagon in congress. Basically I see those 3 schools put into the South Division with OU and OSU being moved to the North.

Why is it again that ND wants to join a conference? Because they see the coming of the mega-conferences and feel they have to align with one of them?

who cares who runs a conference?

I only care who wins it.

nobody has any idea whether ND does or not

everyone is just grabbing at straws

would be funny to see Willie kill himself on youtube though

The annual "is this the year ND joins a conference" talk huh?

I thought Willie was a Hawk? In which case it would not be funny. Though if he is B10 why he should give a crap if ND goes B12 I don't know, unless he wants them for B10.

Actually i think he is a JAYhawk

he doesn't care about Notre Dame imo

he is just arguing the point that ND won't join the Big 12

Hes totally an Iowa Hawk. Can't you tell by his crappy signature?(I was at that game BTW :evil:)

Why would it bother you if ND joined the UT12?

He's just saying that because there is no chance in hell that Notre Dame is going to give up its independence and join the Big 12.

Notre Dame joining the Big 12 would probably be the most shocking thing to happen in sports in the last 10 years. There's just no way. It'd be like the Yankees moving to the NL Central. They already make a bazillion dollars a year off football, have a following from coast to coast, every game is nationally televised, and they could probably join any conference they want. Why on earth would they agree to become a slave to Texas...

He's a "CoMo".

KU ball fan. Iowa fball fan.

He's a "CoMo".

KU ball fan. Iowa fball fan.

How can that be? Seems like you are either a Hawkeye or you are not. You are either a Jayhawk or you are not.
To each his own I guess.

Cloning experiment gone wrong. Jayhawkeye.

Because B12 would let them keep their network? I don't know, if the 4 super conferences happen, I would imagine you'd have to be in one of them in order to be eligible for the NC game.

Iowa basketball isn't very good, last time I checked.

It's really interesting to me how they're pretty much the same dude. I wonder if there's like a phenotype for the dual-school-fan-guy?

I think they both work in the insurance field. Could be mistaken.

Better than Nebrasketball and I still cheer for those losers.

It be easy really. Prior to 2009/10 when Iowa went to the Orange Bowl, Bwanker was a casual, then RABID KU football fan. Never once mentioned UI. I remember him starting a thread (search:"KU Football is going to go 10-2 this year")

KU tanked after their Orange Bowl season and then IU made their Orange Bowl run and he found a comfy seat on the wagon. He even had a cute story about his dual fandom. Very CoMecca-esque.

Maybe he's just a fan of the Orange Bowl?

Holy hell! I forgot about that. It's like Lincoln and Kennedy.

The old crappy ghetto Orange Bowl or the new, Joe Robbie Orange Bowl?

Both are ghetto. Can you bump that thread for us?

KU football fan, KU basketball fan. Iowa bball fan, Iowa football fan.

I've lived half my life in Iowa and in Kansas. I don't see what is so hard about this.

Maybe I should post photos of myself in 2003 when I lived by Kinnick stadium for 3 years in a row? LOL you guys crack me up

Technically, that's a "Saul". (not Saul G)

Thats right, I predicted KU's success that year, everybody mocked. And I was right, as usual :) A year where they went like 5-7 and I still followed them! But I jumped on the bandwagon just for the Orange Bowl year right!

Do you work in the insurance field? Just checking.

Yea, Saul was the original.

Nope. Dartgod.

Yes. You predicted and were correct. No thread for that 5-7 season. That must have the event horizon where you became a hawkJeye.

I would love if ND would join either the B1G or Big 12, would prefer the Big 12 because that conf. is f*****

Damn... That's right. The Nubb/MUtt.

:rolleyes: You are just proving my point that I was not a bandwagon KU fan. I followed them during those bad years before the orange bowl how does that make me bandwagon? Everybody was saying they'd be a less than .500 team that Orange Bowl year.

Please answer my question.

I don't understand why ND isn't in the Big 10(12)

What would that do for ND?

Latest update from Chip Brown:

http://texas.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1258387

I can't stop laughing at the thought of Texas fans not being able to watch their first two games on TV.

If Va Tech is the 14th SEC team, that keeps the dominoes falling. The ACC would need to replace them - do they look to the Big East? If so, do they try to expand to 14 to maintain strength in the conference and match the SEC?

If so, does that dismantle the Big East AND provide the catalyst for ND to finally join a conference? Where do the other Big East teams go? Big 12? Big Ten?

All I know is I'm waiting for LiveSteam's opinion, and then assuming the opposite.

I'd trade Texas A&M for BYU in a heartbeat. A team that actually wins bowl games and much better basketball program.

Very nice.

Don't sweat it. It's a time honored tradition for CP to have wagoneers. Enjoy it.

And wear the Jeter jersey proudly.

So wait, is Notre Dame joining the Mountain West or not?

You are on baord with being an ala carte fan?

That makes more sense.

A&M to the SEC. (duh)

Love it.

I'm gonna' get the papers, get the papers.

Texas A&M notifies the Big 12 it is leaving next June
By Erick Smith, USA TODAY
Updated

Texas A&M announced Wednesday it has notified the Big 12 Conference of its intention to leave the league next June.
http://i.usatoday.net/communitymanag...-community.jpg
In a release on its website, the school said it will seek membership in another conference, which is expected to be the Southeastern Conference.

"After much thought and consideration, and pursuant to the action of the (Texas A&M University System) Board of Regents authorizing me to take action related to Texas A&M University's athletic conference alignment, I have determined it is in the best interest of Texas A&M to make application to join another athletic conference," President R. Bowen Loftin wrote to Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe in the letter dated August 31, 2011.

"We appreciate the Big 12's willingness to engage in a dialogue to end our relationship through a mutually agreeable settlement," Loftin added. "We, too, desire that this process be as amicable and prompt as possible and result in a resolution of all outstanding issues, including mutual waivers by Texas A&M and the conference on behalf of all the remaining members."

School spokesman Jason Cook said on Twitter that A&M would have no formal press conference Wednesday regarding the statement.
Texas A&M was a member of the Southwest Conference until that league broke up and four schools moved to the Big 12 in 1996.
Its announcement Wednesday comes on the 15th anniversary of the first Big 12 football game played between Kansas State and Texas Tech in Manhattan.

Now the Aggies will leaving their traditional rivalries with Texas, Texas Tech and Baylor behind as it likely moves East to the SEC.

"As I have indicated throughout this process, we are seeking to generate greater visibility nationwide for Texas A&M and our championship-caliber student-athletes, as well as secure the necessary and stable financial resources to support our athletic and academic programs," Loftin said. "This is a 100-year decision that we have addressed carefully and methodically. Texas A&M is an extraordinary institution, and we look forward to what the future may hold for Aggies worldwide."

Texas A&M is facing a significant loss of revenue when it leaves the Big 12. Nebraska's departure to the Big Ten cost the school more than $9 million and Colorado gave up more than $6 million to join the Pac-12.
A&M's penalty likely will be stiffer because the 10 schools in the league agreed to $1 billion television deal with Fox last April

So A&M is leaving in part to "secure the necessary and stable financial resources to support our athletic and academic programs," yet "Texas A&M is facing a significant loss of revenue when it leaves the Big 12."

ATM, NU & Colorado didn't all leave because they wanted to lose $ did they?

A&M is the new Arkansas. Meet the proverbial bonfire that is the SEC, aggy.

The Big 9 sucks.

You wont be saying that when Notre Dame, USC, and Alabama all joint them. Remember, they have a school that plays basketball!!

smart ass

Translation

A&M thinks the Big 12 is eventually going to dissolve and they want to get out while they can.

:D

Seriously though, any idea why that article states ATM, NY and CU lost money by leaving B12? Is that immediate term due to buy-outs?

Nebraska loses money in the short term. They won't get a full share of the 23 million until 2017.

I believe both Neb and Colo had to pay to get out of the Big 12. Neb is also not getting a full share in the Big 10. Also with the new t.v. deal that the Big 12 just signed schools are getting more money than before.

I think the money situation for the Big 12 is fine ... better than it's ever been. I just think the schools don't trust each other anymore and think the conference is going to implode. Nobody trusts Texas tbh.
