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.. |

But WR's get jammed at the line every week. If your QB could throw a fade route or a ball more than 20 yards downfield with any accuracy, perhaps Texas couldn't have played straight man-lock on the corners. But that's more nuanced than I would expect you to understand. Wait - you're aware that your boy ran for 6 yards and 53 yards while Gabbert ran for 51 yards and 94 yards respectively against the same 'slow ass defenses'. Hey, what's an 80 yard difference between friends. Afterall, Rivals called Lee a Dual Threat QB, so clearly that's what he is. Then again, Rivals also called William Moore a three star wide reciever prospect, so the Falcons really ****ed up when they drafted him in the 2nd round as a safety last season...

Put a real QB back there and that changes a great deal. You can't be this thick. You just cannot be.

Gabbert would've helped Nebraska beat Texas by double digits. He would've made the offense better in just about every way. The Blackshirts would've given him plenty of chances to score.

Suh wouldn't have helped the Tigers win any more games.

Of course not.
We had Andy Maples. Our rush defense sucked holy shit last season and he fit the scheme far better than Suh would have.

Lee is not a high-quality QB. Even if he improves, he'll still suck. |

Ok, so...presser tomorrow? Any additional rumors about adding a team or two, or are we cool with 10?

That means he's twice as threatening. So if he improves, he'll probably turn into a triple-threat. Throwing to himself and shit. You don't want that kind of blood on your hands. |

I'm great with 10. In a bizarre way, the conference may have just gotten stronger.

I'd rather it was all over with. Just let our sorry-ass conference live and die by the Longhorn hand. At least the collegiate sports scene in KC doesn't have to implode just yet. |
