Just hopped over to the Nebraska team page....boy how things have changed in Lincoln

[BigRedMoe]

Say it with me "nebraska makes more money, especially on the academic side in the B1G" Its ok to say it, nobody will think any less of nebraska.

Yes. Everyone is aware of that. The B1G is a superior academic conference to the Big XII. Pretending that is the lone factor in Nebraska's move is overly simplistic though.

 

[Lance Armstrong]

It really is the only reason, that and not being able to grab as many southern recruits as Texas/OU. The rumor mill you guys paint is UT wanted out, then somehow didnt leave. The fact is the B1G let it be known it wanted a 12th member, mizzou begged, but nebraska landed the bid. The pac 10 then flirted with the big 12, but shot themselves in the foot when they didn't want baylor so they went CU instead. Big 12 south decided to stick together, no big deal.

 

[BigRedMoe]

Yeah, I'm sure it had nothing to do with the instability of the conference.

 

[BigRedMoe]

Just wondering, but how long have you known everything about everything?

 

[TexasExes98]

Ah, deflection. You know the truth, and reading it must hurt your sphincter.

First off, this thread is about how an Iowa fan was shocked that the banner had basketball in it.

You came over and make your snide remarks, and when the trolling gets too rough for you, you woman up. Your remarks are not even about the topic.

You talk about truth in one remark, yet, you whine about the truths I posted about Baylor.

You talk how Nebraska left for money, I posted how Texas bailed on the SWC for money, how Texas threatened to leave the Big 12, how Texas threatened the Big 12 with the LHN, how four teams left the Big 12, and how a fifth team threatened to leave the Big 12. Yet, you actually think your comment is true without even posting one bit of evidence to back it up. I could post how by Nebraska leaving the Big 12 Nebraska actually gifted the conference more money, and Nebraska saved the Big 12.

Continue to be a a Nebraska dick smoker.

Please know that I lurk with the truths about Texas and will post them at will. The truth must hurt.

Texas fans continue to think that Texas defecates unicorns and rainbows and have done absolutely no wrong.

So you deny that Texas admitted at the Big 12 Meetings in June of 2010 that Texas had talked to three conferences and that during the Big 12 Meetings in June of 2010 that the big story hit that PAC 10 was inviting six teams.

Absolutely amazing.

All you have to do is google it. The Big 12 Meetings in June of 2010 abruptly ended in chaos with both William Powers and Dan Beebe REFUSING to stick to their pre-arranged press conferences.

The Guessing Game continues
Here's what officially happened at the Big 12 spring meetings in Kansas City Thursday: Nothing.

Here's what unofficially-might-have-happened-but-it's-only-a-guess: Plenty.

Your Humble Correspondent arrived on the scene Thursday at the Intercontinental Hotel and was mildly surprised to see approximately 40 members of the media along with seven mini-cams. The lure of possible news on the conference expansion/realignment front has YHC's former colleagues all a twitter (and Twittering).

There was no Big 12 announcement regarding championship sites - an important agenda item that is being overlooked because of the expansion/realignment story. Nor was there any official discussion regarding The Hot Topic.

Commissioner Dan Beebe, who over the last few weeks has been most accessible and forthcoming with the media, told reporters Thursday evening he would have no comment because the presidents and chancellors wouldn't finish their meeting until Friday morning. A scheduled news conference with Beebe and Texas president William Powers (chair of the presidents/chancellors) was cancelled.

The news of the day came half a continent away. The Pacific-10 Conference, according to a story on Rivals.com/Orangebloods.com, plans to extend invitations to six Big 12 schools - Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Colorado.

The news, while not totally unexpected, was ill-timed from a Big 12 meeting aspect. When the story broke in mid-afternoon, YHC guesses that the topic of discussion changed in the hotel meeting room. Now it appears the Big 12 is fighting a two-front battle against the Big Ten and the Pac-10.

So what the what is really going on? YHC hazards a guess that not even the school and conference higher ups know for sure. Right now college athletics is a game of speed chess with pawns, rooks, queens and kings blurring around the board

Just in the last few weeks, Beebe and Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott were discussing a joint television agreement that would benefit both conferences. Then Thursday the story breaks that the Pac-10 wants to become the Pac-16 while basically eviscerating the Big 12. Curious, no?

Apparently, it's news that Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds emerged from a suite at Disch-Falk Field and declined comment. Or that UT president William Powers declined comment and "looked nervous." (You'd look nervous, too, if e-mails you had sent to another president had become public record.) Or that a reporter "was told" that Texas A&M athletic director Bill Byrne told members of his coaching staff that the reports A&M may go to the Pac-10 are true. (If you're a good AD, you're keeping your coaches in the loop - even if it involves reports about a "possibility.")

About Larry Scott

Pacific-10 Conference Commissioner Larry Scott spent the weekend borrowing Kilkenny’s jet, brokering the deal that will change the landscape of college football.

On Saturday he flew from Concord, Calif., to Oklahoma City, where he met with officials from Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. Then on Sunday it went from Oklahoma City into Texas, where it landed in College Station (Texas A&M) before continuing on to Lubbock (Texas Tech) and then on to Austin (Texas). After handing out all those invitations there was one more stop on the itinerary, Kansas City (Kansas).

Do you think that I could start a thread titled "Thanksgiving is the best Holiday" that the Braskys and Bevos could turn it into a Big12 debate?

LOL.

Start a thread about visiting the Texas forums and see if any Nebraskans show up to troll like the Texas fans did.
