WVU to the Big 12 in the next two days...

[goDAWGSsicem]

This thread has gone from retarded to brain dead.

Tcu and wvu have certainly accomplished more than A&M and Mizzou the last decade but as has been pointed out they have had less competition. It's like arguing the early 2000 Nets were better than the early 2000s Kings teams because the Nets won their conference 2 years in a row and Sacramento never beat the lakers.

Aside from which, if you subscribe to the theory Mike Slive isn't an idiot then it makes some sense that A&M and Mizzou are more desirable programs. He could have added them but chose the Big 12 schools. Why was practically begging to get into the Sec.

I don't care about any of it. I have a career, house, family.

The academic standings and revenue generated by The University of Oklahoma...does not effect me, period.

So promote all those stats to your hearts content. Missouri sucked in all sports, Nebraska had the worst 10 years in the history of their program and now they are heading off to greener pastures? Good deal! They move towards a land where mediocrity is rewarded. The way the BIG TWELVE has been, those who are successful are rewarded, those who are not well, better luck next year.

If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. In other words, if your program sucks, go where you can earn equal revenue and not worry about sucking.

Hate to give the guy props, but MarkOU just ruined the Husker fan base forever......

Slive isn't adding them because they are competitive. He's adding them because they have valuable markets he hopes to exploit.

Give it up, Star. Logic doesn't exist in the NASCAR Conference.......

I kind of wish that I could pull the Vlad the Impaler thing now and light the thread on fire, now that I have lured all of the brain dead trolls in, since technically I started the thread, ha ha!

Big 12 football: More madness in conference realignment | Berry Tramel's Blog

FTFA: "After this nonsense, it’s clearer than ever that the only the desperate would be interested in the Big 12."

Pretty funny after seeing Big XII fans crowing about WVU in this thread, then have your presidents embarrass the University of West Virginia and their fans in national media less than 24 hours later.

Boren just needs to shut his mouth. i would prefer to see both along with Cinci if MU leaves, but thats just me.
And to the other people here, nobody says WVU is a better school to have in the conference, they just said WVU has accomplished more than Missouri and A&M in the last decade. If A&M didn't lose every bowl game and MU act like they were world beaters with a total of 3 conference championships for all sports. I don't want to see the teams go, but GTFO so the rest of us can play ball in peace.

Not pimping anything.

TCU and WVU, regardless of how you feel about it, have accomplished a hell of a lot more on the field than A&M and Mizzou for the last DECADE. Thats a fact.

I have no idea why this is so hard for some of you to grasp.

Why's it so hard for you to grasp that if Mizzou or A&M switched places with WVU or TCU the records would have as well.

BTW, Kansas gettin the BCS bowl over Mizzou a few years ago was bullshit.

Allow me to post a map for someone in this thread. I really don't think Penn State has a problem with fans being spread out...

I apologize that you actually have to click on a link instead of looking at it on here, but its a larger pdf file.

All things aside. IMO it makes more geographical sense for PSU to be in an Eastern Conference, but look at the options... There aren't any that are better for the school than the Big 10. I think its easy for some to lose sight of the fact that once upon a time, not all that long ago, we were independent like Notre Dame. Sure, I think we lost a lot of casual fans in the extreme northeast when we went to the Big 10, but so what? We still fill in over 100,000 every home game no matter who the opponent and still fill up every stadium that we go to for bowl games. As long as that continues, we aren't going to change much of anything.

Futball is kinda correct about PSU, but not really.

Not buying it. You can play the "what if" game all day.....doesn't mean it's true. You are speculating with no basis in fact.

FACT: Mizzou and A&M have accomplished NOTHING in a decade. WVU and TCU HAVE. That's the end of that discussion.

You can make all the excuses you want. But that doesn't change the fact that TCU and WVU have been better on the football field than A&M and Mizzou.

And no matter what you say, or speculate on, there is no excuses for why A&M can't win a bowl game, none. Mizzou hasn't been doing too great in that regard either.

How long did Texas fans go on about "what if Colt had played"? Please, you'll play the what ifs all day long if it suits your argument.
