      Yeah, but if the dominoes start to fall, they have to know they can go to the Big 10 or the SEC if there's no room in the PAC. Is it that they would prefer to be in the PAC if the Big 12 dies?

        I wonder if Texas is trying to force OU's hand? Maybe they think if the push this into the press, public opinion will turn against OU. It could even be Texas trying to push BYU into joining the BIG 12. You never know regarding something Chip Brown tweets. The only thing you do know is that it's Texas propaganda.

            Oklahoma can go wherever. They will not be left out. That should never be a worry for OU fan.

              Who would you rather have to get through to get to a conference championship: Nebraska and Michigan, or Colorado and Utah?

                  By the way, if this does turn out to be a preemptive bail by Oklahoma in response to conference instabillity and lack of commitment by Texas, that is exactly the course of action everyone criticized Nebraska for last year. Just sayin'.

                        You're kidding right? Nebraska left in the midst of the PAC16 Cuban Missile Crisis.

                          Right. And BYU was supposed to be in the Big 12 instead of Baylor.

                              Are you claiming Nebraska leaving precipitated the flirtation with the PAC and the near creation of the PAC16?

                                Nebraska caused the PAC16 Cuban Missile Crisis. Nebraska panicked and bailed causing everything else. I firmly believe that if Nebraska had not panicked, the Big XII would have dumped Colorado and replaced them with a beautiful Blue and White team from the Wasatch Mountain Range. Effin' Nebraska. What were you guys thinking?
