I doubt Omaha has a lawnmower.

I doubt Omaha has a lawnmower.

But I'm certain he could afford one. Or maybe build one.

old_gregg can probably afford one, too. Or build one.

affording a lawnmower wasn't his lament.

That sounds scrappy to me. I say old_gregg could build a mower.

Only one way to settle this. Who's got a truck we can borrow to load up the church chairs?

[old_gregg]

b12 in trub again next season: no CCG, no 13th game, and OOC schedule stinks

"The better schedules we can play in the nonconference, generally speaking, the better off we are," Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby told reporters during Big 12 spring meetings last month. "We want to make sure we're matching up against the best in the country, because that's the way you demonstrate that you deserve to be in the playoff."The Big 12, however, is going to have a difficult time achieving that in 2015.
Oklahoma and Texas are the only Big 12 schools without an FCS opponent on their schedule. And the toughest nonconference team the trio of Baylor, Kansas State and Oklahoma State will face might just be Louisiana Tech. Meanwhile, a sampling of showdowns from the other Power 5 conferences includes Oregon-Michigan State, Wisconsin-Alabama, Texas A&M-Arizona State and Louisville-Auburn.
Because it doesn’t have a 13th game or a conference championship, the Big 12 — fair or not — already seems to be operating at a disadvantage in the eyes of the playoff committee.
Nonconference scheduling is just one more area where the league is going to be working from behind the 8-ball.

Last week I had one of those super realistic dreams that the B12 gave us a Notre Dame/ACC-like scheduling preference.

I'd be happy if we did that yearly, even if it was 3/2 in favor of them for home/away.

It would also be nice to be included in their bowl system, meaning bowls with Big 12 contracts can choose a B12 team or BYU. I assume we'd have to get the Vegas Bowl into the Big 12 fold for that kind of preference.
