R.I.P. Big XII (1996-2010)

[GhostofBTT]

ESPN reporting the Big XII conference died peacefully in its sleep today. After a prolonged illness, Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma St. finally joined their partner Colorado in the embrace of the PAC 10. In addition, Texas A&M is probably going to the SEC.

The Big XII is survived by his sons Kansas, Kansas St., and Baylor, his daughter Iowa state, and his estranged nephew Mizzou.

Great post. Almost makes me want to reconsider my avatar. But...I was born anti-ghost, and I will die anti-ghost.

can the big 12 actually be "dead if it still has 5 members? it take 9 votes to break it up and not pay the penalty and if I were those 5 schools I'd try to negotiate money to the schools rather then the conference for their votes.

RIP ISU ever having another relevant home game. You have been able to jack up the prices for the home games against Iowa, Nebraska, Texas and OU for years now to make up for your crappy attendance the rest of the year. You will no longer be able to do that! (I am assuming we drop you from the schedule within a few years)

Seriously? Nebby's good but they're nothing more than comparable to Wiscy. They aren't world beaters like tOSU. Shouldn't make our path to the BCS any harder than it already is.

It'll make it somewhat harder...but oh the BCS boost when we kick the crap out of them!

You're operating under a false premise. You are assuming that after running the gauntlet that is the B10, Nebraska will still be ranked very high in polls.

Just when I consider skipping your posts, you pull me back in
