The big one is 30miles ESE of Austin right near the town of Bastrop.

Here is a map of all of them:

Yes, I'll take the Big East!

Yes, yes it is does go Mizzou you will do great in the SEC.

I wish my source would stop telling me that Iowa State is going to become it's own conference named "Thee ISU Confrence". He's telling me that we already have the top 10 teams in the country trying to join it. ESPN is giving us 6.24 billion dollars for a TV package. Texas is going to end up in the MWC and all of their fans will become ours.

Again, I don't think you guys have thought through the "Left Behind" idea. :wink:

I would strongly suggest not taking that site as anything but a huge grain of salt

Chip Brown's tweets have gotten more desperate over the last 24 hours. Seems like OU and Mizzou are taking A&M's lead and jumping ship.

We've kept our noses clean politically throughout the past two skirmishes and we'll adjust to new circumstances just fine.

I think the Big East is likely our soft landing.

Or a new conference w/ UT, et al.

OU is prepared to walk to the Pac with some combo of OSU +2 of either Tech/KU/MU

Texas isn't willing to change their network & they really could walk to the ACC because the ACC doesn't care

RRS could be a OOC affair again


this is all from OU Rivals

If Mizzou goes SEC and KU goes Pac 16, then this whole Farmageddon thing will take on a life of its own.

Name someone not named Larry Scott, Jim Delaney, Mike Slive , or any other person currently holding the office of being a commissioner of a BCS AQ conference who has the education, experience, talent, and moxie of being Commissioner of the Big 12 conference. Give me just one name the meets the above criteria, then I'll join you in your call to replace Beebe, but not before.

This is starting to feel like presidential election night on NBC where they have their whiteboards out and are constantly trying to figure out scenarios where candidate X can pull out a victory or how candidate Y can lock it up.

Could you tell them to make it OU, OSU, KU, and ISU?

K? THX! BYE!

Is the KU/ISU rivalry better than the KU/KSU rivalry? I'm sure the folks on this board will say the former is way better than the latter. Do the folks in Lawrence, KS agree?
