Big 12 as countries

**cyclonelifer** · 07-04-2010, 07:38 PM

I got this in an e-mail tonight...

If the Big XII were countries:
>
>
> Texas is like the USA - Wealthy, talented, and with seemingly endless
> resources. They have a big ego, but are deserving of it because they win
> at almost everything they do. Others often despise them out of jealousy.
> Their money and wealth make the world go round, and everyone wants a
> piece.
>
> While we're at it, let's take a look at the rest of the Big 12:
>
> Texas A&M is like China - Big, powerful, and rival of Texas (USA). They
> live in a male dominated society, and thus their women are not allowed
> to be cheerleaders. Their money and power also make the world go round.
>
> Oklahoma is like Mexico - Having no resources of their own, they have to
> invade the border of Texas (USA) in order to survive.
>
> Oklahoma State is like Guatemala - Oklahoma's poorer neighbor.
>
> Baylor is like Israel - A feisty little religious enclave that could not
> survive without Texas (USA). However, if provoked, they WILL kill you.
>
> Colorado is like Canada - A small, unimportant bastion of liberals who
> are not very good at anything. Like Canada, they are bad at all sports
> other than hockey. Like Canada, they produce no GDP.
>
> Nebraska is like Russia - A former super power who frequently stirs up
> trouble because they still think they are a super power. Nebraska
> (Russia) thinks it is the equal of Texas (USA), and pouts in public when
> it doesn't get its baby way. When they do not get their way, they take
> their ball and go home. Go big RED!
>
> Missouri is like Iran and North Korea - a definite member of the axis of
> evil. Coniving and loyal to no one, you can not believe anything they
> say (you can only watch in amazement at what they do). Like Iran and
> North Korea, they are hated and despised by everyone--even the Swiss.
>
> Iowa State is like Switzerland - Boring, unimportant, not good at much
> of anything, but neutral and without enemies. Even the hawkeyes like the
> Swiss.
>
> Texas Tech is like Australia - Big, dusty, and a Texas version of "down
> under". Cowboys like Aussie's drink a lot of beer and carry weapons.
>
> KU is like France - KU is full of socialists and they think they are
> better than everyone else. This high opinion of themselves is not shared
> by anyone else in the world. Like France, KU can not be trusted or
> counted on during a time of need.
>
> K-State is like Ireland - A gritty, feisty, over-achieving little
> country with a large inferiority complex. What they lack in resources,
> they make up by determination and people. Others can't find them on a
> map, but they like them because we are friendly, and like to drink beer.

I like the list for the most part - the OU-Mexico comparison is a little bizarre. OU has a huge athletic budget (though not as big as Texas), is good/great nationally at virtually every sport, and still has the most Big 12 football titles.

I'd consider Oklahoma more like England.

Yeah I like that one better than Mexico. Though K State would probably have to be something other than Ireland in that scenario. Maybe make OSU Ireland and Kansas St....well I don't know.
