    Tom has been trying to set up satellite camps in LA for the past couple years only for LSU to pressure the smaller schools to not let UT host one on their campus.

    Why would Tulane let LSU bully them anyway?

    As a private school, they aren't beholden to the LA state legislature. Or at least they shouldn't be as dependent on state funding. That's some dirty, coonass politicking there.

    add arkansas and tulane, the conference would be set... or add arkansas and kick out baylor.  However I believe that if the big 12 went back to two divisions, it would help out the KU/KSU up North.  Just not sure how you would divide the divisions..  Tulane would finally open up lousiana from it's LSU deathlock

     

    Does Louisiana still lead the nation in the number of blue-chip HS players per capita?

    I don't follow recruiting that closely.

    Money wise the costs saved plus increased sales from actually winning would do them good. Watch attendance if they don't win this year... The BIG12 won't have to invite them. In a couple of years they'll be begging.

    What makes you think Arky can win in the Big 12 right now? It'd take a few years of recruiting east TX blue-chips to have a shot in our league, too. Yeah, I know they beat a poorly-coached Charlie Strong team in the Texas Bowl.

    Absolutely overrated. The media was so desperate for him to be the next great QB but he never was. The career they tried to sell actually belonged to Cam Newton, who gets trashed often. Shrugs.

    He was always the QB who was about to break out and do something. Never actually doing it but was always about to.

    So you're saying Luck is aggy?

    Ok, I get what your saying now, but I can't tell if you're serious. I don't think that was the intent. I read a few articles and they all call it an "interlocking UN" with no reference to an embedded L and V.

    There's no intentional "LV" in that logo design, pops. Have another drink.

    Luring Nebraska back to the XII would be so huge if we could do that after the GOR expires. Give them a little sweetener financially to come back unlike what the B1G did by not paying them a full share and also have them play OU every year again. They’re worth doing that for. They belong in a conference with Texas and Oklahoma. I don’t care how good TCU has been, they will never have the pedigree of Nebraska. LSU was bad to mediocre for most of the 80s and 90s until Saban got there. Nebraska can definitely turn it around.

    This is the only mistake made by the Big 12, IMO. We should've protected that rivalry.

    Although, I suspect the Huskers were worried about having to play OU twice annually in the league championship. But, that's pure conjecture.

    I'd take them back in a heartbeat, but I'd be skeptical that they would be blueblood again. The fell off a long time ago. Didn't someone post an article at one point about a change in partial qualifier rules that really hurt them? They have no real advantages where they are located. It seems they took a lot of risks which paid off for a lot of years.

    Yep, St. Thomas Osborne of Prop 48 and partial qualifiers. 

    NE was the only Big 12 school to fight against this change when the league was formed. Naturally, UT was against illegitimate "scholar-athletes". This resulted in a lot of corn aggy butthurt.

    It's telling that their only two top 25 finishes in the B1G were in their first two years in the conference.  After the players recruited from Big 12 territory cycled out, they've basically been a (barely) .500 program.

    Oops...we're going down the realignment wormhole again. There's a thread for that.

    Mizzery's two SEC East champion teams were built with Big 12 recruits, too, in '13 & '14.

    ON CR dreams Colorado is the only plausible return.  Every other departing school got a pay raise, eventually.  UC left for a pay cut and basically perpetual football irrelevance. 

    If it's only about money, sure, CO is the only school that should return to the Big 12.

    Arky, NE, and MO would all benefit by coming back from a recruiting and competitive standpoint. They need TX recruits to build up their programs.

    Thanks for posting. I had no idea they appended South Division to their BS conference championship claims.

    No prob. I'm sure it's been posted countless times on the "Tell Me About A&M" thread, but this is a new aggy thread.

    ^^^Yes, what she said.  Gimme Pac, though I get the logistic advantages of the ACC.

    Yeah, I guess the match-ups are better with the Pac12 - USC, OR, WA, Stanford, UCLA, CO, & Utah

    We've gotta count Notre Dame as an ACC member to even come close, although Clemson, FSU, UNC, Miami, and GaTech would be interesting games.

    All black.  How novel.

    Nebraska rolling out in all black alternative unis like it's 2004. Woot!

    Exactly. 

    How mundane of corn aggy.

    The prospect of going to the ACC:

    So is the prospect of going to the Pac. Who blows your skirt up besides USC? UW and maybe Stanford?

    B1G has only 3 I'd wanna play - tOSU, Michigan, & PSU

    We can schedule the other leagues' bluebloods OOC. Bottom line is UT administration values "control" and being the lead dog more than any potential realignment move. As we should.

    So, aggy is getting its feeling hurt, and will show secrant that the site will just collapse when big ole Texas aggy is not posting over there.  We will run away and hope it hurts y'all,  Take our posts and go home.  Not getting respect.  Boo hoo.  Sound familiar?  What pussies!

    No matter where aggy goes, there they are.

    Hilarious to see their "SEC brothers" have figured these wannabe dickweeds out so quickly. What percentage of SEC fandom do y'all think would rather have UT in their league than aggy? It's gotta be 90%+, minimum.

    I'm still among them....even wore one of my burnt orange UT t-shirts out to lunch today and got the usual stares.   Somebody's gotta do the missionary work.

    Soooo.....doggy is out of the question?

    As for how it effects the next round of media negotiations — if you think the ACC is not a viable option for Texas in the future think again. If nothing else they are excellent leverage for the administration in upcoming talks.

    I'd prefer the Big 12 remains viable, but the ACC is the most attractive option to me if we had to make a move elsewhere. But, we're Texas by God. We don't have to do shit.

    Twenty years of fucking up the game of football. 

    Oregon needs hip, newfangled Nike uniforms (and state-of-the-art facilities) because otherwise they'd only have rain and hippies to sell 'croots.

    Except for Wisco and NW, those are all really nice.

    Yeah, those are awful. Not really even throwback uniforms - too generic.

    My favorites USCe's and BC's
