OK, I'm going to assume it is, but can anyone tell me if the A&M jar thing (and the whole keeping the ladies out) is actually true? Because although I already know that Aggies are insane, I didn't think they were capable of something that ridiculous.

I saw an airplane take off once. I tracked my own flight with my eyes as it rolled away from the terminal.

Was the plane on a treadmill? Did it take off?

North
Oklahoma State

South
OU
Texas

No, OU/UT should be split. See Al's post

It has a nice ring and matches with The Heartland of College Football. I like it.

I do like the name "Prairie and Plains"

According to Texas monthly and a former Cadet it is indeed true.

UPDate: The plane Larry Scott has used for expansion in "10 has a new status: WHEELS UP from Utah.

 

[CyBer]

C'mon big 12, time to get BYU.

 

[Wesley]

Can someone give me info as to why New Mexico would be viable?

Which New Mexico institution has the Lobos and has the Big Hair coach Steve Alford with the Pit? NM! SA pushed them over the top. Unfinished business.

 

[Cydkar]

Can those of you that can't let this go find another place to play "hide the sausage" with one another?

How can you expect me to let it go if I couldn't care less which means that I care so damn much?

OK, I'm done.

 

[Cyclonz]

New Mexico would not be viable.

From an ISU standpoint, I like Boomers better. If they split up TU and OU, we would probably have to do the protected rival thing so Texas and OU play every year.

FlightAware > N228PK

It has been there for 2 days.

 

[Wesley]

Easiest would be a north of BYU, AF, ISU, MU, KSU, KU, South of Tx, TTU, OU, OSU, Bay, NM.

Remember, OU or UT has to win the conference every year. That is what the divisions will be set up to be. Throw a bone to the Horns and Sooners to keep them happy.

Prett sure if it has been there two days that, that is a good sign. Right?

 

[snowcraig2.0]

I have no doubt that Scott will make a play for some Big 12 teams.

 

[Palmer]

eat **** and die Larry Scott!

someone take down that plane.

 

[Wesley]

What did they do. Get their applicants off Craig's list? These are three high altitude teams. Our bball players will be gassed.

 

[CycloneErik]

I'll take a stab:
Prairie Division
OU
OSU
BYU
KU
KSU
ISU


Plains Division
Texas
Mizzou
BYU
TTU
Baylor
NM
AF



I think he meant "balance" as in terms of power.

Why is BYU doing double-duty? Would they play themselves in the title game?

They were tough bargainers with Beebee. Two creampuffs and two chances to win the league.

No clue. I wouldn't think Larry Scott would be sitting in Utah for 2 days wooing BYU.
