Funny Stuff New Conference re-alignment thread - Page 393

The old one has AIDS.

Anyways, Chip Brown from Orangebloods.com reports OU may apply to the Pac-12 by the end of the month.

Oklahoma will apply for membership to the Pac-12 before the end of the month, and Oklahoma State is expected to follow suit, a source close to OU's administration told Orangebloods.com.

Even though Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott said Friday the Pac-12 was not interested in expansion at this time, OU's board of regents is fed up with the instability in the Big 12, the source said.

The OU board of regents will meet within two weeks to formalize plans to apply for membership to the Pac-12, the source said.

Messages left Sunday night with OU athletic director Joe Castiglione and Oklahoma State athletic director Mike Holder were not immediately returned.

If OU follows through with what appears to be a unanimous sentiment on the seven-member Oklahoma board of regents to leave the Big 12, realignment in college athletics could be heating back up. OU's application would be matched by an application from Oklahoma State, the source said, even though OSU president Burns Hargis and mega-booster Boone Pickens both voiced their support for the Big 12 last Thursday.

There is differing sentiment about if the Pac-12 presidents and chancellors are ready to expand again after bringing in Colorado and Utah last year and landing $3 billion TV contracts from Fox and ESPN. Colorado president Bruce Benson told reporters last week CU would be opposed to any expansion that might bring about east and west divisions in the Pac-12.

Currently, there are north and south divisions in the Pac-12. If OU and OSU were to join, Larry Scott would have to get creative.

Scott's orginal plan last summer was to bring in Colorado, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State and put them in an eastern division with Arizona and Arizona State. The old Pac-8 schools (USC, UCLA, Cal, Stanford, Oregon, Oregon State, Washington and Washington State) were to be in the west division.

Colorado made the move in June 2010, but when Texas A&M was not on board to go west, the Big 12 came back together with the help of its television partners (ABC/ESPN and Fox).

If Oklahoma and Oklahoma State were accepted into the Pac-12, there would undoubtedly be a hope by Larry Scott that Texas would join the league. But Texas sources have indicated UT is determined to hang onto the Longhorn Network, which would not be permissible in the Pac-12 in its current form.

Texas sources continue to indicate to Orangebloods.com that if the Big 12 falls apart, the Longhorns would consider "all options."

Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe held an emergency conference call 10 days ago with league presidents excluding Oklahoma, Texas and Texas A&M and asked the other league presidents to "work on Texas" because Beebe didn't think the Pac-12 would take Oklahoma without Texas.

Now, it appears OU is willing to take its chances with the Pac-12 with or without Texas.

There seemed to be a temporary pause in any possible shifting of the college athletics' landscape when Baylor led a charge to tie up Texas A&M's move to the Southeastern Conference in legal red tape. BU refused to waive its right to sue the SEC over A&M's departure from the Big 12, and the SEC said it would not admit Texas A&M until it had been cleared of any potential lawsuits.

Baylor, Kansas and Iowa State have indicated they will not waive their right to sue the SEC.

It's unclear if an application by OU to the Pac-12 would draw the same threats of litigation against the Pac-12 from those Big 12 schools.

Stay tuned.

Nobody told Jordan Williams that Mizzou won't be able to recruit Texas anymore. The Texas OL just chose Mizzou today over Stanford, TCU, UCLA, and Boise among many others.

Nah - Fescoe is his very own brand of dumbass.

He is light years beyond KK when it comes to being a homer. Bukaty and St. John are pretty fair comps to KK.

Fescoe...he's the ****ing Baghdad Bob of talk radio. It doesn't matter what reality is, that guy has his very own version of it.

Oh he's on 610 right?

I never listen to that station.

Way too KU friendly. Doesn't make me angry like 810 does.

**Saul Good** · 10-20-2011, 01:08 PM

I have no idea how Fescoe has a job. He isn't entertaining. He says stupid shit. His voice is terrible. The guy is absolutely worthless.

The funny thing is that the guy who fills in for him when he's out isn't bad.

Standard MU profile kid that we'll be able to keep getting.

He's a *** guy with some significant upside that appears to be getting quite a bit better. He's not a sexy pick like Boehm and I wish he was a little bit bigger, but size can come and he certainly appears to have the frame for it.

MU will continue to be able to find *** kids in Texas, while also opening up GA, FL, LA and other areas through the SEC. We won't suddenly go blowing it out with **** and ***** guys, but we tend to have bad luck with them anyway. We'll just have a ton of the *** kids that we're able to get the most out of.

I'm not worried.

Anything happen yet?

Jerm · 10-20-2011, 01:19 PM

Oh Keitzman....what a pretentious douche.

He's "personally offended" by Mizzou's potential move and is going WAYYYYY overboard.

It's golden.

Jerm · 10-20-2011, 01:19 PM

He's lumping himself in with Kim Mulkey now...hahaha.

It's absolutely a fair statement.

But don't try for one minute to try to argue that there's nothing personal about it or that it doesn't arise from underlying bitterness.

Seeing as how analogies now rule the thread - she's saying she wouldn't sleep with her ex-husband had he shown up after a divorce and tried to nail her. Well as she was married to him, it's obvious she found that person physically and emotionally attractive enough to sleep with prior to the divorce or even the marriage.

The only reason she won't sleep with him now is because she's angry with him over the divorce.

And that's fine. It's completely understandable and I get it. But for KU fans to make that argument then turn around and say "We don't care if you leave" is just raw bullshit. You guys absolutely care - its that underlying anger that keeps you from continuing the KU/MU game. If you didn't care, her analogy would mean nothing to you.

Keitzman came clean today - it's bitterness. His arguments against the tournament, the rivalry games, etc... they all arise from underlying bitterness at MU leaving. He makes that completely obvious when he sites the 'jilted ex-wife' argument as completely demonstrative of his point and better stated.

Why do MU fans care whether KU fans care or not? If I was an MU fan I wouldn't really give a **** whether KU fan was angry or whether he didn't care.

But maybe I'm just different from other people.
