The Big 12 expansion groundswell

[Babs]

Come on, you two. We all need to stick together as conference mates.

Whatevs. I just hope they didn't let the screen door hit them on the way out of that conference title game.

Did you get that photoshopped Beat button off a Utah website? Looks like the fucla one. You guys need to start doing your own stuff, stop copying everyone else.

It is an SC tradition to make Beat buttons each season for every opponent. This year, the bookstore is not selling Beat Utah buttons. lol.

nevermind..I knew I recognized that button



very original, utes.

Good catch. I asked someone with photoshop skills to revise that very button with something close to Utah colors. It was a last-minute idea, the execution of which evinces great resourcefulness, I think. I actually got the idea from your USC button avatars last year. I know, irony stings.

I keep forgetting we are in B12 territory now.

fucla does that one as a play on the SC Beat buttons.

Stop by the bookstore and go up to the second floor. Along the glass wall next to the escalators, you will see individual baskets filled with Beat buttons for each opponent.

Since they did not do Beat Utah buttons this year, my Beat button avatar campaign has to wait a little longer.

If it's good enough for the Boss and Thunder Road, it's good enough for me.

[Jeff Lebowski]

Yowza. I hate to say it, but I am beginning to think that a no answer to a B12 invite might not be so crazy after all.

[Babs]

If it's good enough for the Boss and Thunder Road, it's good enough for me.

Also Joni Mitchell. Late one night she heard the screen door slam, you know.

[Flystripper]

I will help you out here. I don't know what cornholing is, though. (No need to enlighten me, BTW.)

It's called bags here in big 10 country.

[Omaha 680]

Yes, it is really sad. There's now an entire generation of collegiate sports fans who doesn't realize OU-Nebraska was ever a rivalry.

Whatevs. I just hope they didn't let the screen door hit them on the way out of that conference title game.

You've changed.

Then you know they ran skeert away from playing BYU in the 1984 Holiday Bowl?

What did Nebraska have to gain by playing BYU in the Holiday Bowl after the 1984 season? Let's see, Nebraska can play BYU in the Holiday Bowl or play LSU in the Sugar Bowl for more money. Hmmm... Nebraska has no shot at a National Championship after losing to Oklahoma; so the Huskers should travel to San Diego for less money???

This criticism of ducking BYU needs to be directed at Washington. The Huskies had the most to gain by playing BYU in the Holiday Bowl. Washington beats BYU and they win a National Championship. Instead they play Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl for more money. Still don't understand that one. If Nebraska was in Washington's position, they would have played BYU.

"Meanwhile, if Oklahoma commits to the Big 12 and Texas A&M leaves for the SEC, the Big 12 is going to pursue BYU as a 10th member, according to the source. The source said there was strong interest from the Cougars prior to last week's comments from Oklahoma president David Boren that the Sooners were exploring their options. BYU, formerly of the Mountain West, is an independent in football and its other remaining sports compete in the West Coast Conference."

From Andy Katz. Last week he said he was hearing from sources at BYU that they were committed to independence.

[Gaffords]

If you aren't part of the BIG 12 by game day, don't forget your banner lobbying for the BIG 12>SEC. that will get you on TV...lol

[Viking]

Equal rev share I can understand. If the SEC does it, everyone else eventually will have to fall in line.

But OU and aTm games being broadcast on BYUtv? lol. come on, viking. That dog does NOT hunt.

I said "offer"

[Green Monstah]

Wait...you're a tax lawyer?

I would have never guessed. I figured you were criminal defense, since you (a) have a personality and (b) seem to remember at least some of what was taught you in your Crim Law class.

[Green Monstah]

this is bizarre.

aggy not going anywhere. ou and aggy get TV.

BYU coming to b12 with TCU.

Don't toy with us Vike.
