True on all accounts.

Georgia Tech instead of Missouri.

This next few days is going to be bat shit crazy.

Poor Texas.

So whats the latest now? Hard to keep up with all this shit. I literally just got five different text messages saying **** Nebraska.

The Lawrence Journal-World claims they have sources that also confirm that Nebraska is gone.

http://www2.kusports.com/weblogs/big...oise-nebraska/

Yep.

The last six weeks of "bat shit crazy" have built to a crescendo, and the orchestra leader's about to have a ****ing heart attack.

the sec would jump on clemson and GT most likely if the big 10 was sniffing around...they'd prefer to do nothing, but may not have a choice


i live in sec country, heard a caller today say the sec should take GT and KU because the conference needs better basketball....the hosts agreed....


now, i know, the the sec isn't going after ku...but it will get crazy if the pac 16 is true...

NU is going to the Big11.

BigXII is dead.

:D I'm guessing your bball team has given you more big-game happy moments than her's; it's good you let her enjoy it.

ut, tech, a&m, ou, osu, and colorado to the pac 10...per a ut source on espn

big 12 dead, ut told its coaches

I'm still not buying this Pac 10 nonsense.

It would be nice, but I'm not holding out hope, at all. For those who do want to be glass-one-percent-full, I did read that Florida will resist adding Miami or FSU because they use SEC membership as an in-state recruiting advantage, and the SEC isn't sure what they would do for the conference if they already have Florida's flagship school.

That said, there's probably tons of other options they could go to before Kansas.

DanBeebe I feel quite comfortable that the Big 12 will remain intact.

So is mizzou following? They'd better ****ing be. Or they're going to be lost in the dirt.

i'm surprised that Texas is willing to go to the PAC-10

PAC-10 must be bending over

Will somebody just shoot that sackless mfr and put him out of our misery.

I pretty much am, there's too much smoke between the PAC-10 expansion authorization, the ultimatum, and no one really denying it.

In the end, Nebraska will be known as the school which finally killed one of the most successful (on the field) conferences in the country.

You better start praying. There's a source in an ESPN story saying that Mizzou is getting a cold shoulder right now.

I'm not either, if it's just NU leaving.

I'm at 80 posts a page and this thing jumped 4 pages in the time I was at physical therapy.

So, I'm catching up - maybe someone can answer this for me...

If only NU is leaving, why the **** would Texas want to abandon their sweetheart deal and go to the Pac10?

I can't imagine it would be more lucrative there than it would be to just pick up a 12th team to replace NU and just continue to rape the other 11 schools financially, as they are doing now.

Someone on Huskerboard said Osborne confirmed Nebraska is N. I doubt it these rumors are getting silly.

there are...clemson is one i hear the most

KU's problem besides football obviously, is they don't offer anything for recruiting either....

if KU were in some fertile recruiting area that conference wanted access to, then they might overlook the other things...but really ku only has basketball, which ain't much in the economics of this

i gave up worrying about it anyways, it's all above our heads...

LMAO



Anyway enjoy your new conference billay and Bugeater, I hope it works out for you. Wish MU could've joined ya.:cuss:

it's pretty hilarious given all mu's preening and crowing to see them laying there legs wide open with no one around....feels like karma

I love the idea of Nebraska in the Big Ten. It's a perfect fit, IMO.

Ok. I had to look that up.

"Peening is the process of working a metal's surface to improve its material properties, usually by mechanical means such as hammer blows or by blasting with shot (shot peening). Peening is normally a cold work process (laser peening being a notable exception). It tends to expand the surface of the cold metal, thereby inducing compressive stresses or relieving tensile stresses already present. Peening can also encourage strain hardening of the surface metal."

It's looking like Texas completely sold out the Big 12 North

can we just sell Texas back to mexico?

Better yet, how about renting ... that way mexico can just rag that shit out and leave instead of worry about their deposit. :D

I haven't been following the proposals too closely in terms of how they plan to set up the Big Ten. I'm assuming they'd go to the same set-up that the Big XII had with 2 divisions of 6 teams each?

Oh and if Nebraska darts, the Big XII should get on the phone with Texas Christian.

you don't read well, do you?

Errant R!

Thanks. I hope the best for MU, KU, and Kstate too. All smack talk aside if it were all these teams leaving Nebraska behind I would be pretty upset.

Are we still speculating, or is there some actual change afoot?

For sake of conversation, who moves to the North?

the Big 12 team doesn't need another Texas school ... they need to add new T.V. markets.

if it stays together


Nebraska out, Notre Dame in ........ UBER conference!!!!!!!!!! ROFL

This all sucks in general for the whole local smack...borderwars..etc...this will hurt KC...

Dan Beebe is a fucking tool shed. Not just a tool, not just a toolbox, a fucking entire shed. fuck you. Keep standing there /w your little chode in your and going Gee aw shucks we don't need to be proactive. We'll just let everybody pick us apart.

The New Big Ten:

West:
Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Northwestern

East:
Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State, Indiana, Purdue

ChipBrownOB reports on SportsCenter that Texas, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Colorado, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State to Pac-10.

I'm just throwing darts like most anyone else. Maybe move Iowa State to Division 2 and have 10 teams, no divisions? :D

@kbohls (Per Austin Am-Statesman), DeLoss Dodds met with coaches; Neb has no formal B10 invite but would take it; Colo in, BU out of P10. 6 minutes ago via Echofon

this outcome has been more or less inevitable for years.....economics were always driving conferences onward and outward....


i wish i had the feeling that KU had done anything to prepare for it, even though they had little to offer....but it mostly looks like we sat on our thumbs and paid big Lew to steal exercise equipment....

So the Conference Championship is almost guaranteed to be Nebraska vs. either Michigan, OSU or PSU every year.

I'd actually go w/ the biggest revenue producing football school from the WAC or Mountain West and poach them. TCU gives no more TV sets. Going west does.

?

You apparently haven't watched Nebraska football the last 10 years. Pretty sure Iowa would have Nebraska's #

Child please. Nebraska kicked Iowa's ass last time they played and that was during the solich years.

If this holds true, it'll be KU, MU, KSU, ISU, and Baylor left in the Big XII. Holy shit. Beebe needs to do something to grab some teams like TCU, Houston, Utah, BYU, etc. and attempt to save the conference and be proactive instead of letting the remnants get picked apart. Hell, at least extend some invites before Nebraska makes things official.

Or he can continue fiddling like ****ing Nero as our conference burns. What an incompetent toolshed that guy is. :cuss:

Check please.....

WTF?

Agree to disagree.

:facepalm: NU has beat Iowa twice in the last 10 years.

Iowa and Wisconsin would both challenge for the west title. And Michigan? They've fallen a LONG ways.

How about KU, MU, KSU, ISU and Baylor give Beebe a blindfold and a cigarette, line him up against a wall and shoot his ass, then get a REAL commissioner to assemble a new conference?

there is nothing worth saving at that point

and mu and ku will be frantically trying to get into a bcs conference

This shit is getting ridiculous.

Maybe the Big 12 could bring BYU in? They've got a national following.

It's still basically going to be below BCS if Texas leaves.

This may be a repost...

Does ANYBODY know ANYTHING? Or is this just the most colossal circle-jerk of speculation ever?

Herbstreit was on ESPN and said it was a done deal.

Six weeks of speculation.

I'm down with that. :D

You're probably right. **** me. I'm just pissed that not only will my school potentially be left twisting in the wind, but lots of history and rivalries and geographic interplay will be wiped out by petty politics, greed, and TV ratings.

:(

Who's been more successful in the last ten?

This is sort of bittersweet being an Iowa fan, because I just despise Nebraska. And Nebraska doesn't put up much of a fight in basketball. Although it was funny when KU hung 76 on them on football.

No way Nebraska puts their asses out there without the wink wink nudge nudge of an invite.

Nebraska played in a title game this decade. Whens the last time Iowa did?

I think Iowa/Nebraska could become a great rivalry if indeed this does pan out.

Yeah, most likely. I guess I just want some attempt made to salvage the Big XII instead of waiting to get chosen like streetside whores. :shake:

Hearing #KU has had a lot of "discussions" with other conferences about joining Been told Mtn.West was not one of them Pac 10 may have been

.

BWillie seems like a nice guy and everything. But in addition to that it seems like he is always wrong or just generally misinformed.

I see Ohio state and Iowa fans will have repleaced MU and KU fans. This will be fun.

It really depends on how you frame it. Iowa's on quite a nice little run right now. Ferentz has built a very good program that not only competes in the Big Ten but also wins bowl games. Pelini is bringing Nebraska back on the upswing and certainly they have far more tradition and championship history than the Hawkeyes ever will have. But I think the two teams would be pretty evenly matched with a slight edge to the Hawkeyes THIS year. But that could change, of course.

Oh, sorry, I must have forgot about all the conference and national championships Iowa has won in the last 10 yrs. And it was pretty funny when NU beat KU 36 years in a row.

nebraska is a solid pick up for the big 10


you've got a bevy of tradition rich schools that will usually be in the top 25

i get why they did it, round it off with nd and that conference is golden for awhile

No doubt it'd be a great move. Thats why moving to the Big Ten is great for Nebraska.

Possibly, but that doesn't add a market.

That spanking really hurt ROFL

That's a pretty fair assessment,the programs aren't that far apart. Or at least not as far apart as many Iowa fans seem to think.

Again, my set-up of the "new Big Ten" teams is purely speculative...but I think having Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Northwestern as divisional foes would surpass the quality of KU, MU, Iowa State, Colorado, and K-State.

Then again, the Big Ten could go with a North/South distinction too.
