    Do you think BYU will fix this?

    http://www.lukekohler.com/2009/01/09...ed-in-the-nfl/

    And this goes way back to the Big 8. Someone posted a youtube video of Steve Young kicking Missoura's arse back in the 80s (thanks for posting that, very enjoyable). I immeadiately noticed Steve Young taking snaps under center and the backs in a split pro formation. I also noticed Mizzou stupidly running a flex defense against freaking Lavelle Edwards. What a bunch of dopes.

    The Big 12 has a ton of talent. Especially offensive linemen. Outside of Mike Leach, though, the Big 12 has never had a creative coach. Closest thing to a genius we have is the Bucktoothed Wizard, Bill Snyder. But he runs a spread option and succeeds by finding the talent to run it in orphanages and army bases and Jucos and getting them to major in Construction Science thru correspondence courses from K-State of Salina to retain their eligibility.

    Don't get me wrong. I'm not a BYU guy. I'm a huge KU guy. I loved Mangino dropping the veer completely and going w/ a zone blocking scheme and a shrimp QB hurling it all over the field. It won us an Orange Bowl. But the Buddha (Mangino) is gone as is Mike Leach. And KU is gonna have to go thru growing pains to see if an old Big 8 QB w/ great Tejas recruiting ties can keep things going. That's boring and it's the reason I've been trolling this board. The Big 12 needs some new blood. It's got the money and the talent and the big time feel to it, but its coaching ranks are filled w/ guys more interested in their golf swing than their offense (ie, Mack Brown, Bob Stoops). The Big 12 needs new blood. I'm dying for the Cougars to join the Big 12 and combine some of that O-line talent w/ some Lavelle Edwards inspired genius. Even if we have to bring on a fool like Fairchild at CSU.

    LOL! I seriously laughed out loud when I read the "Bucktoothed Wizard" comment. You've got a way with words.

      Man, I hope so. We may not know what a cover corner is, but BYU knows the passing game.

      It's interesting that if you look at the MWC, there are and have been in the past some really good passing offenses. I think it's the "Why can't we do that?" reaction when you get 500 passing yards put on you.

      We actually like our non-BYU people here. Well, the Utes and our lone Wyoming Cowboy (who, by the way, is not "Cowboy" - "Cowboy"'s an actual cowboy, not a University of Wyoming Cowboy, although I believe he may live in Wyoming - I guess if you spend an evening with Landpoke at his favorite "establishment" it'll all make sense to you by the end of the evening). Oh, and a Sooner who's infatuated with a former Buckeye.

      I hope we get a chance to join the Big 12 soon and leave the flotsam and jetsam (ok, we'll drag Landpoke along, too) behind us.
      If we disagree on something, it's because you're wrong.

            If the Big 12 invites BYU then I will make a motion to change it to the CougarBig12 Forum. Maybe you and SU can start the BuffsUte Forum. I would even visit it once in a while to gripe about CU.

              Stay out of this, LA Ute. We're talking to our new Big 12 friend.

                    Really? I think it is much more likely to be a Ute fan. In fact, he very much reminds me of an old school version of something SU would have created to troll CB years ago. It has become a sport lately for Ute fans. Exhibit A, DS whaterver on CB. Exhibit B, UtesRus.

                      No. I don't mean that.

                        Also a plausible answer.

                        I'm convinced.

                        I think this person is either a BYU fan or a Utah fan. But I have a hunch that they really aren't a diehard Kansas fan as they claim.

                          Season ticket holder in Memorial Stadium since 1985. I was at both the 1987 72 to zippo courtesy of DOCTOR Tom ('I didn't run up the score') shellacking by the Cornganstas and the 2007 78 to 38 return on favor game courtesy of the Phatbasturd ('I didn't eat that much at the buffet'). I personally attended every Border War from 1985 to 2000 including Touchdown Tony Sands 396 yard shellacking in a foot of snow in 1991. I'm Jayhawker enough alright. Red Legger to boot beings the family moved to the Free State in the 1860s.

                          However, it's boring in Larryville right now. Another one of these 'new coach that's gonna get it done' storylines. I've seen this play afore. I was fine w/ the Buddha's no huddle, veerless spread w/ a midget Texan throwing it all over the field. Now, we're putting the fullback back in the offense. Boring. I'll be in beautiful Kansas Memorial Stadium this fall w/ the BBQ smoke and tight Joe College smack teeshirts on the coeds. But I want some excitement in the Big 12. And after Teja$ gets done dancing w/ Notre Dame, BYU fits the bill on the way to a 16 team superconference based on the Big 12. 65,000 seat stadium, QB U, Lavelle Edwards offense, national fanbase and hungry attitude ready to take on all comers and prove themselves. Just the thing to spice it up in the uninspired Mack Brown/Bob Stoops era of the Big 12.

                          Just thought it'd be friendly to welcome folks to their new playground.

                            That's fine, Red Legger. You are a BYU fellow-traveler. We know your kind!

                            (BTW, like others who have posted here, I am surprised to hear of BYU's invitation to the Big 12, and its acceptance of the invitation. )
