Report: OU & Texas reach out to join SEC

[NorthCyd]

I’d love to be wrong but I don’t think Jamie is out there playing 4D chess. Literally everyone was caught off guard by this.

I think caught off guard in the sense that he didn't know it was going to happen right now, but I would be shocked if he didn't have a break glass in case of emergency plan ready to go for just this situation. I mean, it's not like it takes all that much to figure out what needs to be done. Option 1, call B1G. Option 2, call PAC-12. Anything after that is doomsday essentially.

I hope your wrong too. Jamie I’m sure was caught off guard. But I guarantee you he had a back up plan he could and did enact quickly.

Except money. We don't bring the dollars. Y'all think we're good at subscribing but the complaints about Cyclones.tv and ESPN+ when they are literally $5 is deafening

This is anecdotal and meaningless.

Yeah, survival is paramount. But the real joy from joining the B1G would come from the collective head explosion of the UI fanbase. So, so great.

The BIG can hold a few million back from us for this alone.

Jamie is always playing 4D chess

Yeah it would be like us hitting the nitrous and blowing by their ****** yellow IROC that hasn't been serviced in 10 years.

He's already knocked off the two biggest names in the business. Turn him loose on the top dogs in the BIG. I'm sure that MI and OSU are now watching how things unfold.

Screw football, I want the Big 10 simply because Michigan State will have to play in Hilton on a regular basis.

Are you drunk already???

Roses are red, violets are blue, Texas can suck it and Oklahoma too!!!!!!

Most important point in that article:

And from my conversations, Iowa is not going to pull a Texas A&M and try to prevent Iowa State from joining the Big Ten Conference over petty political nonsense.


Still hard to join the Big 10 in and of itself, but no opposition from Iowa City should help.

 

[ISU4NH]

I was pleasantly surprised when I was living on the East Coast for the last 5 years at how many Iowa State people I happened upon.

Small side note. I was at a Publix in Fort Lauderdale maybe 2 years ago. Walking to my car I'm wearing an Iowa State hat and the guy says 'Hey go Hawkeyes'. I gave him the 'I will eat your face in public' look and he immediately apologized and said he actually likes Iowa State better he was just messing with me.

I live in New England. Every time in the Boston airport I see someone wearing something with ISU on it. When I say "Go Cyclones" it's as if they were expecting to be recognized. No more deer in the headlights stare when they hear Cyclones.

All 2000 of these posts fit that description. We're all just flailing around until official **** comes out

After what we've been through this wouldn't be hard at all and I'd quit waking up with night sweats.

I was in Cozumel in 2019 and a mexican street vendor recognized the Iowa State logo and pulled out some cheep knock off ISU gear to try and sell me lol

Actually, TWO points. It still implies A&M will do all it can to prevent TX from the SEC. Interestingly, I remember specifically when the B12 was formed. Many SWC people despised TX mightier than thou attitude. Well SEC, hope you're a darned good baby sitter.

Same thing happened in China in 2018. I had a small Iowa state jacket on since my other jacket was sopping wet from the rain.

There’s a big difference between speculation and presenting anecdotal examples that are irrelevant.

When I worked in Cape Town this patient we had has an ISU sweatshirt from about 1985. Weirdest thing I ever saw.

 

[BCClone]

The ISU thing would be to gain a big ten invite and have AM lead a charge that keeps UT and OU out of the SEC, so we have to pay to get out. It would still be worth it.
