Deace is saying that the rumor around Ann Arbor is that it's Missouri and a surprise team from the Big 12.

I'm just trying to get a head start on every school that's guessed. A surprise school that wouldn't be Nebraska, to me, would probably be Kansas. Especially if it fits geographically.

From what I understand, Kansas can't be in a different conference than Kansas State... anyways thats what has been said on here so take that with a grain of salt.

Another thing is if you read the Hawkeyenation thread, they mention GaTech and BC which doesn't really make sense.

KU and Oklahoma State both have in state sister schools which they will not be separated from.

That would be a huge shocker.

So seriously, if there is a surprise school and the other poster in that thread is right and it will make "geographical sense", it has to be ISU, right?

Tech makes no sense to me unless they are spending too little on travel.Now if there are some SEC schools in that direction also then it makes more sense but I would think there are better options

Fine, I will say it, it is most definitely US.

I agree.

I always thought of Anne Richards as more of a vampire than a zombie.

I guess I remember hearing that Kansas thing somewhere....the moral of the story is....who knows...

The last time we had a miracle drop on us, CW was recovering from his bachelor party. Itd be hilarious if it came out we were seriously in this thing while he was gone again.

Think about this scenario.

At the press conference following a Big 10 expansion that included Nebraska and Missouri but not ISU the folowing conversation takes place:

Reporter #1, "Mr Delany, the Big 10 is a academic institution first and foremost, correct?"

Delany, "Correct"

Reporter #2, "How do you explain adding Missouri and Nebraska then when Iowa State is cleary a stronger academic university than either of them?"

Delany, "Um, well, did you see that the Big Ten Network's ratings went up a point?!?!"
