And yet your ginormous picture will still take up more space on this site than everyone else's posts combined.

Amen. I had never had an opinion of Ms. Hepburn before, but now I ******* hate her, just because that's so obnoxious.

It's an OU flight school plane:

Become a Flying Sooner! ~ OU Aviation Department at the University of Oklahoma

Plane tail number matches that of the one on flightaware:

ec55ff5403f7624ddb9009fc16ba72402f68e5e6


"The Baron is also available for faculty and staff transport (FAST) flights on University related business."

Hahaha, all the AD's and presidents are probably sitting in a room together with a big projector TV on with all the Big XII schools message boards on it. They are trying to think of ways to screw with us. Let's fly airplanes from one campus to another! That will get them going.

Are we putting to much stock in this plane going from Mizzou to College station back to Mizzou? Or is it a sign that this conference is about to implode?

At this point, I hope there's not a plane crash, or there'll be a song about 'the day that college football died." People will be talking about how Beebe was supposed to be on the plane, and ****. This is getting hilarious.

I have it CONFIRMED from well place sources within the Luther College athletic department that the Big XII is seriously looking at bringing on Luther and Wartburg along with Notre Dame. Word is that ND was only comfortable joining the conference if two other religious schools were brought in as well. They preferred the Lutheran tradition as opposed to BYU b/c both schools are much more comfortable with drinking than "the Y."

While Texas bulked, OU, OSU, ISU and Mizzou all welcomed the idea of adding two more wrestling programs as well as an instate rivals for Iowa State. Furthermore, Luther, Wartburg and ISU are working feverishly on putting together a network that will likely broadcast through THE ENTIRE eastern half of the state as well with limited coverage in MN as Luther has a large alum base in The Cities and Wartburg covers the Waterloo/Cedar Falls metro area really well! The flight to Decorah had JP on board as he was meeting with President Torgerson to hash out the details of the network. Also, something about VEISHA and Nordic Fest being the same weekend in future years. I'm going to start a Twitter to send out all the updates. More news when I hear it. Lots of smoke, for sure!

I have a source in the Coe athletic deptartment that says he actually thinks its unlikely that Luther and Wartburg are gone. However, if superconferences do occur, the Iowa Conference is going to invite UNI and the Hawks. Everybody thinks UNI is a pipe dream, but its worth a shot. Word is that the Hawks are extremely interested because they're...

1. Disgruntled about the new name of the Nebby rivalry game of the "Heroes game."
2. Looking to get out of Northwestern's shadow since NW seems to have their number quite a bit in FB and BB lately.

If this did occur, then the Iowa Conference would merge with the Missouri Valley. They'd also take with them the names leaders and legends from the Big 10 in exchange for not having to pay an exit fee.

You'd have

Iowa Division (Leaders)

Coe
Northern Iowa
Buena Vista
Central
Iowa
Simpson
Loras
Dubuque

Missouri Valley (Legends)

Illinois St
Indiana St
Missouri St
N. Dakota St
S. Dakota St
S. Illinois
W. Illinois
Youngstown St
