Fatass didn't know that the SEC only had two AAU rated schools Vandy and Florida. Part of why they wanted aTm & Mizzou was that accreditation.

Oh yea, and all 12 schools in the Big 10 are AAU

Take a think lap, Tubby

Minor nit, but Nebraska is no longer in the AAU (first member ever to be voted out, IIRC, although others have left voluntarily). So that's 11 of 12 in the B1G.

And while AAU membership is prestigious, and I obviously have a bias in this regard, I wouldn't quite call it the be-all and end-all of discussion as to what constitutes a great academic university. There are plenty of outstanding academic institutions that are not AAU members. Dartmouth, Georgetown, and my alma mater come to mind rather quickly in that regard.

I heard that same description as well, although it was several months ago and in a drastically different context. At the time, it looked like the Texas and Oklahoma schools were headed to the Pac-12, the Big XII was about to implode with the Big East and/or ACC picking up the scraps. A few months changed things dramatically.

Are you not the University of Missouri?

Well, yeah, Sammy, but since we're all settin' around and sayin' "howdy" an' stuff, just thought I'd offer up proper parlance for your new conference-mates. After all, you all don't roll by AU, right? I'm thinking that moniker probably belongs to the folks just east of you.

"Mizzou"; or "MU" if you must, Sam. We're the second of the three "Tiger" schools in this conference ( ) that actually wears one unique to their school on its uniform. That U of M place you speak of stole their helmet design from Delaware.

Did Gov. Nixon not delay the appointment of Thomas Hoenig, Iowa State grad with deep roots in the Big 8 and the Big XII as Systems President back in July?

Christ. You gotta be trolling.

Terrible analogy. Mizzou and A&M are going somewhere. Most of the other Big 12 teams are sticking it out with the Big 12 not because they want to but because they were not invited to leave the bar with someone.

Mizzou is the ugly girl getting picked up at closing time.

Kansas is going home to yet another night with the two-AA battery powered prostate massager.

Iowa has been pretty good at getting our night fighters.

and Wingo from Arkie is one of ours.

but recently Gabbert and Maclin went from 314 to Mizzou so maybe things are turnin around.
