I would think that the Big 10 will also be making a phone call to Columbia....and I hope that happens.

I hope that what's left of the XII stays together, maybe expands, I dunno. I would definitely miss my Oklahoma brethren just as I do Nebraska.Mace wrote: I would think that the Big 10 will also be making a phone call to Columbia....and I hope that happens.
Applying this particular provision to ND, it raises some issues for ND if ND ever were to join a conference. Depending on the ultimate divisional alignment, ND very well could be picked by BC, Michigan, Michigan State, Purdue and USC as their biggest non-divisional rival. For that matter, there's also a possibility of them being picked by Stanford, Indiana, BYU, Navy and Pitt as well, although the latter group would be less likely to pick ND.Truman wrote:So that leaves us with one really huge problem we still haven't addressed and that's rivalries. What if OU and Texas wind up in separate divisions. Or programs like Michigan, Ohio State and Notre Dame? Seems easy enough to me that you ask everyone to pick their biggest rival not in their division and play them in the non-conference. Remember, you get to go sell that thing all to yourself and keep all the money. Which of the big boys wouldn't love to do that?

Can't see why you would be limited to just one rival, Ter. The blogger suggested you would have four non-cons to gravy train each year. Several of those folks you listed would most likely be conference-mates anyway. The others you could play on a two-year rotating schedule.Terry in Crapchester wrote:Applying this particular provision to ND, it raises some issues for ND if ND ever were to join a conference.

Helluva game last year. We'll miss you in Iowa City.KC Scott wrote:this is fucked for Mizzou fans - at least those on the west side of the state. Driving to Iowa City, Norman, Stillwater, Lawrnce, Manhattan and until last year, Linclon was nothing. Don't think you'll see the same thing happening in the SEC West (except Fayetville)
It will also fuck Mizzou recruiting in Texas.
I suppose there may still be a chance they stay in what's left of the Big 12 - but that doesn't look likely
Maybe I should just be happy they're still in a BCS conference
only on the women's side.War Wagon wrote: Does the SEC have any competitive wrestling programs?
Mizzou has already done well as of late against the SEC. home and home wins against ole miss. beat arky in the cotton bowl handily. wouldn't do well this year, though. beat a & m last year.Sudden Sam wrote: Basketball they'll be a great addition, but football?

If Big10 expands to 16, i could see Maryland and Rutgers from the East, and Iowa St and ??? added. I think ISU will end up in B1G, not a great athletic fit at first,but with revenue sharing, they can greatly improve. They were getting scraps from Big12, because of Texas rule, i believe 5mil is all they were getting. Academically, i think ISU fits.Mace wrote:Good luck to Mizzou in the SEC. I wish the Big 10 was expanding to 14 and snagged them up before they left for greener pastures because I think the Big 10 would have been a much better fit for them. Judging from the game last night, you'd better beef up your defense a bit before facing 'Bama or LSU, and make sure you've got a great placekicker.
Delany won't be inviting ISU because of revenue sharing. They do not bring anything financially to the conference, so why give them a piece of the pie. Same for Maryland and Rutgers. The N.Y. & D.C. markets just doesn't roll with college football enough. They're professional markets.Adelpiero wrote: I think ISU will end up in B1G, not a great athletic fit at first,but with revenue sharing, they can greatly improve.

Whether it's attributable to pure luck, Swarbrick's skill, or some combination of the two, ND has actually managed to play itself into the ideal position right about now. Neither the B1G nor the ACC wants to expand further so long as both conferences think they have a shot at ND, as further expansion might freeze ND out unnecessarily (yeah, the B1G could go to 14 without freezing ND out, but there's that pesky little revenue sharing thing to worry about). At least in the short term, ND could put any superconference scenario on the shelf for awhile.Cornhusker wrote:Delany won't be inviting ISU because of revenue sharing.

Anyone not named Notre Dame should expect any B1G love. Delany will not water down the conference. (Save the remarks..) Of course Oklahoma or Texas could pick up the phone I'd suppose, but the fit seems awkward, however as we're seeing, regional locals seem to be diminishing as a roadblock for expansion.

Well, we're coming for you again now, twat.After the 1968 Gator Bowl in which Mizzou beat the Alabama Crimson Tide by a score of 35-10, Bear Bryant said:
"We were really horsewhipped. We had a lousy defense. We did not expect anyone to run down the field on us like they did, like they were playing a barber college. They toyed with us like children....They beat us every way known to man. They out-everythinged us. We were really fortunate. The Tigers deserved to beat us by more points than they did. Of course, it was like any other college football game. The difference was in the preparation and the coaching and there was a lot of difference today."
Bryant had been singing a different tune before the game. He had told reporters that that was his best defensive team ever at Bama. "We've got quite a football team now..you'd better believe it," he said.
The 25 point loss to Mizzou was Bryant's worst defeat at that time in his 11 year career at Alabama. The loss also ended Alabama's nine-year streak of finishing in the AP Top Ten. Instead, it was Mizzou that climbed in the rankings, finishing ninth in the AP poll.
In 1975, Mizzou took on the even tougher task of facing Bear Bryant's Crimson Tide at Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama. Bama was ranked #2 in the nation to start the year. The Crimson Tide was 43-1 in its last 44 regular season games. Wrote the Washington Post, "Bear Bryant thinks he may have the best team of his illustrious career."
Mizzou promptly raced to a 20-0 halftime lead and held on for a 20-7 victory at Alabama.
"All in all, it was a good ol' country beating," Bryant said. "I think we were fortunate not to be beaten worse."
After the game the Missouri campus was flooded with hundreds of students who joined in an impromptu celebration and victory parade. They jammed Columbia streets and choked roads leading to the airport.
"That airport was just engulfed with fans; it was crazy," Mizzou tackle Keith Morrissey said. "But it was an enormous experience just to see the support and how much people really appreciate a victory like that."
Makes perfect sense. Wait. No, it doesn't.Sam wrote:Hey, it's done. You're in. It'll be cool. You're in the East.
Lemme get this straight:Kansas City Kid wrote:...Hopefully they add a ninth conference game in the future so LSU, Auburn and Alabama can come to Columbia more often! Definitely a step up in conference for MIZZOU.
...And as a complement to the brand of football played in these parts, we had a chance to build this thing into the best fucking basketball conference in the country as well. The 18 home-and-homes night-in, night-out woulda made this league an all out war, battle-tested and Tournament-ready.

i'm not thrilled to be in the new SWC conference much either. nor did the Pac appeal. oh well. i'm almost feeling nostalgic for Kemper Arena....even.
Do you believe that the only reason was to make it an easier roadie for the east side of the state?Truman wrote:Kansas City Kid wrote:All this, just so asshats like Adelpeed-down-his-leg won't have to drive so far on roadies out of St. Loser, while fat fucks like you gorge themselves stupid on long johns and fudge in front of the big screen at home when Mizzou squares off against the likes of Mississippi-fucking-State.
Kill yourself, you insufferable fucking retard.
