    Funny tweet from Chris Dufresne.
    “There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”
    ― W.H. Auden


    "God made the angels to show His splendour - as He made animals for innocence and plants for their simplicity. But men and women He made to serve Him wittily, in the tangle of their minds."
    -- Robert Bolt, A Man for All Seasons


    "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."
    --Antoine de Saint-Exupery

      I'm figuring A&M leaves within 10 days even if there is no 14th SEC team. Big 12 school official says his league to go hard after ND, BYU.

            the only thing that could make it better would be Trevor Matich riding on the cougars back.

                  The Big 12 is hanging by a thread. Do WE really want to come in and save it?

                  Brigham Young might be what Big 12 needs

                  This time, the Big 12 needs to make decisions with vision. Brigham Young might be all that can keep this league alive.
                  Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

                  For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

                  Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                      Some schools are the back up plan when 5 preferred options don't pan out.

                      Other schools apparently are the savior and hope to schools like Texas and Oklahoma and Kansas.

                              Sounds like the NCAA is wanting to step in.

                              http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/16/sp...r=1&ref=sports

                              But here's the issue:

                              As conferences teeter on the edge of significant realignment, Emmert’s proposal shows the level of concern among major college sports officials. Emmert lacks the authority to make unilateral decisions about realignment, but he can preach common sense.

                              “Those conversations start and stop with that there’s no N.C.A.A. authority on these topics,” Scott said.
