....due to NE and CU being unhappy campers wanting more money, we will see some rugged conference games just before the conference is gone by 2013. Schools like ISU will be primed to clean clock against the turncoats. Animosity will prevail on the court and on the field. The boo birds will be out. Let's blitz CU on every play.
I hope we clean some clock this year. Nebraska is going to wish they had that 8 turnover game after this year is over (I hope).
Yea, the next few years could be some pretty chippy games.
We should refuse to play Nebraska ever again including this year. Then we could go out with scoreboard having beat them last year. Just kidding but it would be nice to beat some of these big dogs before they leave in 2012.
Just think. Only one more time seeing OU and Nebraska at "The Jack". That is sad.
It won't dissolve over those two teams leaving.
Nebby out....Utah in.
MU out....TCU in.
just wondering here... why Utah??Quote:

Isufb...was just throwing out name. I think there are quite a few schools we could go after.
Jdogg...Tex doesn't hold the power soley to scrap conf.
No, but they have the power to join the Pac 10 and take 5 other schools with them, effectively scrapping it...Quote:

You do realize that when the ADs voted 11-1 to have the Big 12 football championship game "permanently" located in Dallas, JP, wasn't the 1 "nay" vote, right?Quote:

It would be pretty sick to have Iowa State win the last two Big 12 championship games ever showing the other conferences ow ISU shouldve been the the team to pick up
