Really wondered after seeing that the Big 12 logos were taken off Faurot Field. Oh well. We'll be better off if we can replace them with BYU or Louisville. Get a team that we can beat. If MU leaves I bet we move to 12 to make this conference look solidified.

I'd read more into that than I should if Iowa State had the Big 12 logo on it's football field the last decade or so... :SLEEP:

Good Bye . . good riddance.

I have never held Missouri to be an elite program . . . hope they enjoy being the SEC's new favorite chew toy.

I don't understand how you don't get this. When you discuss conference realignment, evidence and information don't matter. Random twitter posts from guys that throw garbage against the wall are what matters.

I thought the megathread meant something. You're really ruining the hard work of a billion posters.

 

[HandSanitizer]

Add them to my list of teams I root against....

Nebraska
Colorado
A&M
Utah
Syracuse
Pitt
Hope they all die a slow sports death.......Would be funny if a couple years these teams are not relavant...

Some of these teams are well on there way...lol

I'm not saying Mizzou isn't gone by the end of the week - they may very well be. But it has nothing to do with the fact that Mizzou no longer has the Big 12 logo on their field.

Again, don't challenge tweets with actual evidence. That's not the point of conference realignment twittermania.

I don't get all this railing against twitter. Again, consider the source, not the medium.

That's been the problem. People don't consider the source, and continually post the latest tweet as though these idiots are authoritative.

As we've seen with recruiting, the right sources on twitter are very informative. On conference realignment, twitter is just a constant and annoying source of misinformation.

Agreed. Two things ive tended to look at- a twitter poster's overall reliability, and where their sources come from. For instance, when it comes to Texas stuff, texas-affiliated sources are usually your best bet, but they may not be your best bet when it comes to Missouri related stuff, and vice versa.

There are some posters that have been very reliable in their 'home' areas, but not so reliable when they stretch beyond those.

What the hell does a guy in New York know about the goings on in the midwest?

 

[wright4cy]

I love how all these teams brag about all this history blah blah blah and then turn their backs on true history and one of the best football conferences out there! Wow Bye don't let the door hit ya on way out .... I think you may regret your choice.Truly Money that rules all of the values too...Wish we would add couple other teams and be done with it!

Agreed. Pete Thamel is one of the best college sports writers in the country, so I do pay attention to what he writes. At the same time, this thing so fluid that it may be true when they tweet it, but it changes hours later.

Really really hope this pushes Big 12 to go to 12 teams.

West Virginia, Louisville, and hopefully BYU but if not I'll take Cincinnati

And if we somehow do a straight North/South divisional alignment as well I will **** myself with joy.

 

[intrepid27]

I would love to repalce Missouri BEFORE they find a new home.

I wouldn't. That'd be ammo for them to try and get out of the withdrawal fees.

This. ISU needs to have the extra non conference game to consistently be bowl eligible.

Am I the only one who prefers Cincy to BYU at this point?

I'm really sick of BYU's attitude and think Cincy has some interesting potential. It's a big market (although BYU brings a nation-wide following) in very good recruiting grounds. I think they have the potential to really grow their fan following. Ohio is a big state, and there's a lot of room to pick up tOSU fringe fans and grow that program. Especially with a Big 12 slate coming to town.

Plus, it would be a more entertaining/easier road trip.
