Week 2:

East Coast Early: GTech-UGA

Could you imagine the extra cash we could demand for that setup? That's a ratings bonanza ESPN couldn't refuse.

But if it never happens I'd be completely fine with it. Missouri chose to leave the conference and end the series. I'm just saying that if this completely dreamed up scenario that HH has made actually happened that the best economical setup would be to pit KU against MU. Doesn't matter much to me either way.

But I wouldn't worry, if Weis can get the team back to its winning ways I'm sure the sell out crowds that packed Memorial Stadium will be back in no time. He has to prove himself first, that's how it works in sports generally.

2. Weis was a failure at ND where he had access to superior resources in every way over KU, yet he will somehow succeed at KU? Heck he already failed to recruit the top football player in Kansas. Keep hoping Weis works the impossible, especially in a Big XII that you say is stronger now minus Mizzou and aTm and with the additions of WVU and TCU because in football all a KU fan has is hope.

2. If Weis does what he did at ND that will be a success. And he does good recruiting QBs. All it takes is a good one to be decent again.

Weis went to two BCS games while at Notre Dame. People have this delusion of what Notre Dame is on the field. They will NEVER contend for the NC with their academic requirements. Jesus himself coaching the team wouldn't change that.

What they need to do is start buying players and drop pretty much all academic standards ala the SEC if they hope to get back in the big time.

Lie #2....You know you care...there is not a single MU thread on this forum that you do not appear in, so quit lying about it.

And those are just from the last few pages of this thread....I could take the time to go through this thread and really make you look stupid... but you do such a good job of it by yourself, there really is no need.

2. I cared about MU when they were my opponent. I doubt I've had any posts in any MU thread since July 1 when they left the conference. Feel free to go back and check and post proving me to be a liar.

I'm going out now but I'll be eager to see your results when I get back.

Let's hope it turns out better than your "everyone thinks KU is being stupid and/or petty" argument for you. That was downright embarrassing.

I'll give you a hint - it shares many letters in common with Arkansas.

I assume you're talking about Kansas being that they had a couple really down years.

But we'e seen the potential Kansas has when it comes to football. There's no reason to believe what has once been achieved cannot come again.

For other schools, like say Missouri, you can say that because they've never accomplished anything the same level as say a KU.

So maybe you might want to chill until you guys actually show us something. You only come off as delusional.

Don't worry, I'll actually respond without resorting to requiring links to statements from conference and network officials about a sensitive subject, about which there will never be statements from those people until the actual document is signed.

And of course, the coaches, the players and the AD from your single fluke season are all gone, and that puss schedule will never again be duplicated either, so sure, there's no reason to believe.... um.... what?

But hey, I'm sure your 79th ranked recruiting class will right the ship. :thumb:

I only think this because these are the only two schools that have been mentioned specifically by Big 12 administrators during the Big 12 meetings a couple months ago.

Those are the only two schools that add any real value to the Big 12 at this point. If ND cannot be convinced then the deal will be finalized and signed. Which is probably what will end up happening...I think.

Why would UT want ND in their conference when the B12 champion is guaranteed a spot at the table? I don't think the money is worth it to them. All the rumblings about how the conference is best left at 10 comes from UT. It's a much easier path to the playoff, which is all that matters now.

Now, if the Champions Bowl really does require the B12 to have a CCG all that will change. How much truthiness is there to that requirement by the SEC? I haven't really seen anything that would pass the Wickedson smell test, but that's the only scenario where I see any more teams coming to the league.
