The Big 12 expansion groundswell

[Uncle Ted]

Really? That's the only reason?

I am all for it primarily because I think it would be great for BYU.

Yes, that and having brisket down at 18th and Vine (where ever that is) with Red Legger before a BYU/Kansas game.

It is Missoura. What do you expect? Better than Branson. Or those XXX places by I-70 out in Boone County.

Rock Chalk Jayhawk, Beat Mizzou

What? Don't tell me you don't like rubbing shoulders with 30,000 geriatrics all hellbent on being the first in line to see the Osmond Brothers.

18th and Vine is Kansas City's historic Jazz District, just of 1-70 just east of downtown KC. Home of the Negro Leagues Hall of Fame and Museum, and the American Jazz Museum. There is a lot of good BBQ there as well.

I think Red Legger and the Big 12 combo would be great... give me some BBQ and the Big 12 tourney and I'm happy as can be. And I'm sure Missouri would love a wave of Mormons walking around as Gov. Lilburn Boggs rolls in his grave.

His grave is in Napa California.

Every day during parts of the year a shadow from an LDS chapel steeple falls across his gravesite.

Goosebumps.

GSwaim is doing his thing... an actual article this time too. Saw this on Cougarboard, and thought I'd drag over the dead horse if anybody wants to take a whack at it.

Conference Realignment on the Front Burner

The only stuff that seemed new to me was the ACC possibly getting raided by the SEC (because I never really cared until lately). But he's really sticking to his guns on BYU as the frontrunner, which makes me feel yummy wether he's delusional or not.

Goosebumps.

No kidding, as I read creekster's last line, I became filled with the spirit of Percy Bysshe Shelley, and imagined the following:


I met a creekster from an antique land
Who said: a lone and untended headstone
Stands in a Napa vineyard. Near it, it in the dirt,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal these words appear:
“My name is Boggs, governor of governors:
Look upon my extermination order, ye Mormons, and despair!”
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
As the evening shadow of the distant LDS steeple passes o’er.

Wow. You touch me.

Holy crap, Marie!

PAC, you are the master.

Well, that is a bit of a drive to/from Lawrence but if that is where we need to go for the good BBQ then count me in. BTW, you're invited as well but you will need to stop using that Linux crack first.

I can't take much more of this.

It has widely been reported that BYU was / is The Big 12's choice for #12. It has also been reported that a solid # 12 is / was the hold keeping UofL from joining The Big 12. An agreement being reached between BYU and The Big 12 is big news for Louisville and its fans.

I have received information this morning that The Big 12 and BYU have reached a tentative agreement to move The Cougars into The Big 12. Details should be wrapped in a few days....

Watch for a report to surface in the national media in the next few days.

I just pulled it off CB. I didn't spend too much time perusing. My bad.
