Don't worry about it. Everyone makes mistakes.

You more than any of them, so you should know. You still haven't refuted my statement. I was just off by 8 years. So do they have 4 NCs in the past 50 years? Do they not get the best in Texas and have nothing to show for it? Do they not have a larger budget than anyone?

You going to admit you were WRONG, Wicky?

No, just foolishly optimistic.

You might say Gustafson "had options"

He's just being a good little bannerman. It would be nice to have everyone of his posts autocorrected to "I am wrong" though.

I wasn't wrong. I was speaking to the bolded players as I said. Hence the term "either".

But yes, looks like one of the guys mentioned later in the article had been offered by Oklahoma.

Thanks for making me check.

I would have never noticed that not a single player in A&M's recruiting class has a UT offer.

Looks like Chip Brown is reporting that Notre Dame to the Big 12 for all-sports expect football.

Why are you starting with me?

I was trying to help you.

But enough of all that, back to news.

http://kansas.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1377426

Two sources in the Big 12 said Wednesday the possibility of Notre Dame moving its Olympic sports out of the Big East and into the Big 12 is becoming more and more likely.

Speculation is growing among those sources that an announcement could come from South Bend before the end of the summer.

As part of such a move, Notre Dame, which has a contract with NBC to televise its home football games through the 2015 season, would agree to play up to six football games against Big 12 competition (but most likely three or so to start with), sources tell Orangebloods.com.

Notre Dame would maintain its independence in football ... for now. If the Irish ever felt compelled to join a conference in football, the Big 12 would be ready and waiting for them. The trusted relationship between Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds and Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick can not be underestimated if such a move transpires.

Notre Dame's explanation to the Big East would be that the Big East is no longer the conference the Irish joined as a non-football member back in 1995, the sources said. Since the Irish joined, the Big East has seen Miami, Virginia Tech and Boston College leave with Syracuse and Pittsburgh planning to join the ACC in two years.

Incoming Big East members include Central Florida, San Diego State, SMU, Houston and Navy.

One of ND's biggest attractions to the Big 12 is the ability to have its own Tier 3 television network, along the lines of Texas' Longhorn Network. Tier 3 inventory is whatever is left after the TV partners with Tier 1 (ABC/ESPN in the Big 12) and Tier 2 (Fox in the Big 12) rights select the football and basketball games they want to air.

Tier 3 inventory typically consists of 1 or 2 football games (although DeLoss Dodds has told reporters LHN could air three Texas football games in 2012) and less than a dozen basketball games as well as Olympic sports.

Sources in the Big 12 told Orangebloods.com during the league meetings that Notre Dame as a non-football member is the only expansion target that would receive universal approval from the league.

While sources say Texas and Oklahoma favor the Big 12 as a 10-team league for now, there are some in the Big 12 who think a move by Notre Dame - even just its Olympic sports - into the Big 12, could cause a frenzy of interest from football powers in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Orangebloods.com reported last month that Florida State, Clemson, Virginia Tech, Miami and Georgia Tech all had efforts made on their behalf to gauge the interest of the Big 12 in expanding. The Big 12 indicated at its conference meetings in Kansas City in late May that it was happy at 10.

And while that was the sentiment then, a potential move by Notre Dame to affiliate with the Big 12, could cause more discussion and possibly a rethinking of the league's current position about bringing in new members.

Stay tuned.

Jim Delany just threw up in his mouth a little bit.

You were wrong. Gustafson's quote was/is bolded. It's fine. You and I, and everyone else, know you were wrong.

Correct, a portion of his quote, not his name, was bolded.

Gustafson was indeed offered by Oklahoma.

But since you continue to push I just looked it up. Texas has 15 recruits so far this year. 10 of those recruits were offered by A&M. 0 recruits have chosen A&M over Texas.

Damn.
