Thursday Night Open Thread & Dan Beebe Resigns From Big 12

PrintWelcome to Thursday night football! Tonight's game features a match up with national title implications as North Carolina State battles Cincinnati in a war that cries out - HOLY COW, I FORGOT THESE TWO SCHOOLS HAVE FOOTBALL TEAMS!!!
The game starts at 7:00 pm on ESPN. Over on ESPNU you have Hampton at Bethune Cookman at 6:30 pm, which could be interesting only if the other game isn't.
OH BUT THURSDAY NIGHTS ARE FOR CURRENT EVENTS! And the most current of events that you care about right now is that Dan Beebe has resigned from the Big 12:
A source close to the process told The Dallas Morning News' Chuck Carlton that Dan Beebe has resigned as Big 12 commissioner, effective immediately.
Which, of course touched off a long line of rambling doosies from a @DanBeebe on twitter. Samples? You want samples?
 |
 |
Now... those are completely uncalled for. WHAT IS DAN BEEBE'S FUTURE? DISCUSS! (Oh and Missouri is deciding whether or not to stay in the Big 12. I think. It's easy to forget about Missouri.)

Who'd like to join me in a farewell toast to Beebe?
I’m thinking skim milk is appropriate.

Beebe Resigns
It’s what I like to term as “fixing the barn door AFTER the horse is in the glue factory.”
People of Earth, I give you the Big XII:

I Think They're
2 1/2 behind the Red Sox in the Wild Card and closing ….Red Sox not playing well as of late.
Paddle faster, I hear banjos!!
Close
Both them and the Angels are within 2.5 games of Boston. Boston’s been choking as of late, but the Yanks have been giving Tampa trouble

I wanted Paul Johnson in 2008 because I wanted Nebraska to bring the Triple Option back.
I’m also a huge Navy fan. (Though they finally landed a QB who could pass the ball.)
RICKY DOBBS. BEST OPTION QB EVER.
But hey, Bo’s done well. And in due course, Beck is going to put a fancy hat on the triple option and just go with that.

So the Big 12 schools are agreeing to sign away their Tier 1 and 2 media rights for 6 years
I’m actually really glad for them, and for college football. I think they’ve legitimately staved off conference armageddon for a while.
Huhn. So a year later they're listening to Perlman?

On the subject of Wisc......
I was browsing thru articles related to the match up at Camp Randall in a couple weeks, seems alot of people thing Wisc will handily win. However, looking at their opponents, think it’s possible the game may be alot closer then people think?
Totally unrelated, but this is the only football people I know up right now…
I agree that we have been playing much better opponents than Wisconsin
But Wisconsin is getting very close to being a finished product and we are still in the building phase. Only time will tell just how we fare.
