Yeah, the church on California Ave. in Glendale is a long long way from Duck Creek. The fights, shootings, and arrests suck... but the food is always awesome. All that said, the Big 12 still feels way more dysfunctional than my Tongan family right now.

I fear the Big 12 is being sold short when it comes to guns and assult.

Nebraska football player Darren DeLone was released to return to class Monday after appearing in court on an assault charge for injuring a member of a University of Oklahoma spirit squad.

Cleveland County Judge Reginald Gaston ordered DeLone, a 6-foot-5, 315-pound senior offensive lineman, to return to Oklahoma for a preliminary hearing on Jan. 10. He was released on his own recognizance.

DeLone is charged with aggravated assault and battery for allegedly running off the field during the Nov. 13 Oklahoma-Nebraska football game and intentionally driving his helmet into Adam Merritt, 19, a member of the Ruff/Nek spirit group.

The alleged assault occurred as Ruf/Neks were in their usual position near the north end zone of Owen Field. Students in the group typically shoot pop guns and heckle opposing teams.

Callahan has said he feels "really, really terrible" about Merritt's injuries, but the Ruf/Nek's position near the end zone made an incident almost inevitable.

Wow... look at Nebraska gettin all gangsta. So the Big 12 has lost its Pop-guns of Nebraska, crotch squishers of A&M, and sucky football of Colorado. This conference seriously had some color to it, it'd be a shame to see the rest go.

Mack sez: I heart the B12

http://www.foxsportssouthwest.com/09...96&feedID=4519

With Texas and Oklahoma officials meeting Monday to talk about the possibility or leaving the Big 12 for the Pac-12, Brown made it clear that his preference was to remain in the Big 12.

"I think the University of Texas wants to stay in the Big 12," Brown said. "I want to stay in the Big 12. I know Texas would love to see the Big 12 stay together."

Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

He should. It would be an absolute shame to see such a great conference come apart.

As a Texas fan I obviously like Mack (despite a rebuilding 2010) but his comments leading up to and following our matchup put my mancrush on 'muy caliente'.

Well freacking hell, if you love the Big 12 then save it's ass! All you have to do is share revenue equally.

"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Half of the current conference is in the top 20 , 3 in the top 10, and these guys can't figure out how to keep it together. :igiveup:

And if Nebraska hadn't left it would be 4 in the top 10. This really is unbelievable.

And is the top conference in football!

The Big 12 is on top of the Week 3 Conference Power Rankings after big wins by Oklahoma and Texas over non-conference foes this past weekend. Overall, the Big 12 is 23-2 in games outside of the conference (SEC is 22-4) and have five teams ranked in the AP Top 25 (tied with SEC for most teams ranked in the poll). Big wins over Florida State, TCU, Arizona and UCLA in the first three weeks have vaulted the Big 12 over the SEC as the top conference in the country.
