Question for Jigs

[Sandhusker]

Jiggsy, as it now obvious to everybody that the Bevo 12 is soon to be history and, judging by their comeback win over a junior college, K St. really doesn't belong in division 1 to begin with, when your conference disolves, will K St. drop down a division where they can be competitive or will they drop football altogether?

Isn't Eastern Kentucky in the same Division as UT Chattanooga? FCS?

Yes they are and they play each other on 9/17.

[Sandhusker]

I think the Mocs are in the same conf. as Auburn's homecoming opponent, Samford.

Were you one of those people who left the Auburn game early yesterday when Utah State had them whipped at home?

not really sure what is going to happen in the big 12. all I know is not having NU in the conference is a joy. except the self proclaimed greatest fans still take every opportunity to pop off about how great they are and prove themselves to be the true suckers of D1 football.....

that being said, I question theactions of Beebee....Texas is not going to get into the pac 12...they will not allow the longhorn network. OU has it made in the big 12. obvious easy path to a national title shot.
I think it is all posturing to get the conference up to 12 teams. NU had an easier shot at a title in the big 12...but the lack of beating ou or texas....even a 5 win texas , proved to be too much, so they left.

seriously, a 4 super conference idea is stupid. the cash whores are KILLING what I consider to be one of the few things worth living for....NCAA football. I love my Cats. I loved them in the 70's and 80's when we were a breath away from dropping football. I loved them when they went to #1 in the polls, and loved them after the most gut wrenching loss in history ( aTm in 98 that took us out of a national title) so no matter what happens, where we go, I will be fine....you just sit there each saturday with your big red hat and your corn cob in your ass and don't worry about me.....

"Self proclaimed greatest fans", Jiggsy? You didn't read what I posted about what the Moc's head coach said? Here, for your education, " The fans were class all the way". I can post more examples from other coaches, too.

Generally, unless you're playing Texas and the BCS has plans. Then, the tally isn't changed, just the end of the game.

Sure will be fun to watch and see what unfolds with the big 12. Everybody says nebraska had to leave because we couldnt win against texas and that we are just whiners. Blah blah. When will the reality set in? Sure is nice to be sitting back not worrying about who is leaving next, where will we end up. In kstates situation, What conference would want us???? Nobody knows, guess it ought to be an interesting topic for awhile. You know somethings up though, when a billionare, T. Boone Pickens, comes out and says he dont think the big 12 is going to last, and that we need to look at our options, but at the end of his interview he did say we dont need to make a decision this weekend. So when will the reality set in and everyone realize that Nebraska left for greener grass and to get out the mess. Hell even the damn buffalo were smart enough to find better grazing!

Jiggsy has just been drinking that Mildcat Haterade for so long that he can't see the forest for the trees anymore.

With A&M pulling out, you can put a fork in the Bevo 12, it's done. They can add SMU or other second class schools that desperately need the financial crumbs that Texass deigns to give them, but once they finally realize that the money is only going one way, it'll be too late.

It's kinda funny that when the smoke all clears, Nebraska & Colorado will look like prophets, sages, & soothsayers.....being able to see in the future and KNOW what's coming down the road, while the crumbs of the Bevo 12 are stuck with Miss Cleo for their fortunes. I'll trust in Dr. Tom and Dr. Harvey to keep the ship on course for us.

It's too bad that Haters like Jiggsy will see their conference in ruins before admitting that Nebraska & Colorado were right in departing while the getting was good.

If you look past the smoke and mirrors, there is actually less money in the super conferences. I'm not a Mark Cuban fan, but I imagine the guy knows a lot more about the finance side of things than most of the opinionated monkeys that write about this. And he is saying that they will actually loose money.

I think some of this stuff may be a way of putting Texas and ESPN in check with their ways of side stepping agreements made by the Big 12. As you know last year every one was gone until the last minute agreement.

Logistically, I understand that recruiting will assisted by coverage in new markets. But I don't understand why any school wants to travel 1,000 miles to compete. It is not just football and basketball- but track, soccer, softball, baseball, underwater basket weaving, etc..
