Report: OU & Texas reach out to join SEC

[Cyched]

Was researching the Pac schools and discovered that Oregon used to have a live duck mascot named Puddles, and now I can't think of anything else.

Our swans would kick Puddles’ ass.

My #1 would be bringing in ACC schools and keeping things contiguous but expanding along the mid-Atlantic... ND, UVA, UNC, Clemson. That ain't happening.

So I'd be cool pulling USC, UCLA, Oregon, Cal from the Pac, and then ISU and I guess KU, get to 20, and going with some kind of four 5-team regional pods or something. But one midwest team with four way out west would be kind of wonky. I don't know. I like the idea of adding at least one or two bluebloods, obviously we're not going to add 4 or 6 bluebloods.

I’ve come to hope the B1G expands either to take us or to force whoever it doesn’t take to take us (like a Big 12/Pac-12 leftovers merger) so I kinda hope we hear more about this alleged FOX counterpunch to ESPN by pulling some Pac-12 schools east and getting an annual USC-Ohio State game to air.

Had Big12 grabbed Clemson and FSU a few years back, the situation today would not have happened...

They weren't there to grab. People suggesting that the Big 12 should have added FSU or Clemson or Arizona or Arizona State.....they weren't an option. If they were, they'd be in the Big 12 today.

All this Oregon talk.
My guess: Maui Classic announced the bracket.

The Big Ten is the only conference that doesn't have a presence in the fastest-growing population areas of the country. Not a good long-term look.

Ehhhh as global warming heats up the south, literally, I think the trend will go back north. It's always a pendulum.

You are finding out that the world is tough. Texas is not the devil all the members of the B12 said they were. Neb lied, Aggy lied and we equalized in 2011. Its an Urban myth that Texas is some bully that treats its partners bad. I love ISU and hope they land in the B1g but hating on Texas got you here today. Its over. Cyclones.

Texas already has one of the largest athletic department budgets in the country, if not the largest. All of it's underperforming is on Texas, and moving to the SEC isn't gonna change that.

I hope it's not a newsflash, but you're rooting for the heel. Own it if you're gonna do that, at least we can respect embracing that role as opposed to "hurr durr world is hard" coming from someone who roots for the school born with the largest golden spoon in their mouth.

I think it’s a SECret.

******* nerds. Maybe you all should go WAC off together.

Imagine a reputable university announcing they are switching conferences via their mascot's twitter feed

The Duck is probably on the cover of the next NCAA Football video game or something irrelevant to realignment.
