Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment
A source in St. Louis familiar with the situation told NewsCenter 16 Thursday afternoon that Missouri will leave the Big XII and soon join the Big 10. Other schools expected to follow the Tigers are Syracuse, Pitt, Rutgers and Nebraska.
Many have speculated that such an expansion would include Notre Dame but ND athletic director Jack Swarbrick told me today that the Irish prefer to stay independent in football and in the Big East for other sports. Swarbrick said maintaining football Independence is such a part of what Notre Dame is. He went on to say the Big East is a great partner for the University in other sports. "We do have to monitor what is going on," Swarbrick said. "There will be significant shifts. "Hopefully we can navigate them by keeping our football independent and keeping our Big East affiliation because that is what we care about." The move of Syracuse, Pitt and Rutgers to the Big Ten from the Big East could categorically change the landscape of the Big East itself. Thus, what Swarbrick is referring to when stating the University must continue to monitor what is going on. The interview with Swarbrick was done before the late afternoon announcement. http://www.wndu.com/sports/headlines/92447574.html Last edited by Mr. Laz; 06-10-2010 at 02:57 PM.. |

Sorry, that extra win doesn't mean much when NU played Va Tech in non-con play, a team that went on to win a BCS game, while MU played...ummm...a 5-7 Illinois team.

We do know that arguing isn't going to change what's in the past, right?

These gymnastics to justify Nebraska going to a bowl over a superior team are entertaining.

No, it's a form of exasperation that you would use one of the dumbest of all sports arguments:
We beat "X" who beat "Y", therefore we are better than "Z". Appalachian State beat Michigan who beat Florida, who beat Kentucky, who beat LSU, therefore, Appalachian State should be the 2007 National Champs.

Look, the bottom line here is that if you fuggers would've taken care of business against KU, this wouldn't even have been an issue. We shit the bed when we played you, you shit the bed when you played KU. There wasn't a significant difference in the two teams' seasons overall.

Nebraska lost to Iowa State last season while Mizzou beat the Cyclones. Ergo Missouri should have played Arizona in the Holiday Bowl.

I really don't think this whole "bed shitting" angle works. |

Iowa State beat us at home last season. Were they a better team than NU? |
