*****The Super, Mega, Huge Big 12 Expansion Thread*****

What does it mean?!? What does it meaaaaaaaaan?

We have to go back, Kate. We have to go baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!

I do wonder what it means though.

 

[fwiw]

FlightAware > OUA36 > 28-Aug-2011 > KCLL-KOUN

So... someone from OU went to College Station for 2.5 hours and is now headed back. Any guesses who's on this flight?

In any case, I hope a Beech Baron isn't OU's best ride ... :unsure:

 

[SvrWxCy]

I found one that is leaving from my hometown to head to Norman & Univ of Oklahoma Airfield: FlightAware > N2120L

What does it mean?!? Sorry... Saw it and I had too... Just one closer to the longest thread ever, right?

 

[alarson]

Boomer, you want to drop by the airport to find out who was on that plane?

 

[justcynn]

I think it means despite the public pledge of support, all of those that can are still evaluating all of their options and using it as leverage to ensure texas stays on task

 

[Judoka]

I might be concerned if it was flying to Pac 12 country. But someone from OU is going to Texas? I'm sure that's a pretty common occurrence, especially in times like these.

They went to College Station.

Not Dallas, Specifically the Air Field A&M uses. Small plane though for a big dog though

Yeah, I fixed it.

I wouldn't go by the size of the plane though. I mean, the ISU jet is pretty small, but that's because we charter anything larger. I assume it's similar for most other schools. A small jet so the President/AD/whoever can get anywhere fast, and agreements with a charter airline for anything else.

If Texas is not to blame, then the question is then why aren't we hearing more about other National Brands wanting to get theres as ND has done for years, what Texas is doing now and BYU is trying to do? If the model was sustainable, the Big 12 would be in the drivers seat with all of the realignment talk. Sure A&M has inferiority issues as did Nebraska, especially on the field, but why no talk of SEC powers or Big 10 Powers or Pac 10 Powers wanting to get the money they deserve from being the biggest fish in their pond?

I believe SEC schools are allowed to keep their 3rd tier right. So they ALREADY have that part of our "unstable" model.

The reason the b12 isn't in the drivers seat is CONFERENCE money, not 3rd tier rights. We don't have the population base of the b10 or the national respect of the SEC. They make more money as a league and, therefore, are in the drivers seat.

Many university planes are that size.

Probably need a bigger one if they did join the Pac 10 unless they want to stop for fuel

OU to MU to OU to TAMU?

Well thats... interesting.

If by interesting you mean oh ****, then yes, it was interesting. :twitcy:

 

[shawn_200m]

An OU plane going to columbia then back to norman then to College Station this afternoon seems like too much to be just a coincidence...I'm a tiny bit worried for the first time in all this.

 

[Gorm]

Maybe they kidnapped someone from Missouri. LOL

I love that this thread has come to taking picture of planes. I love the age we live in. :twitcy:

 

[DesertClone1]

almost to 4000!

 

[DesertClone1]

i'll take 4000!

 

[justcynn]

4000?

Yeah.. plane flies from OU to the first and second most unhappy schools in this conference. Not a particularly good sign.

I probably just missed 4k.
