Tom Osborne Wants Somebody To Call Dan Beebe
The Nebraska Cornhuskers, you remember them, one of our two conference wins this season, won the Big XII North today. The scoreboard indicated that after thumping the Buffs, they had in fact wrapped up the role as participant in the Big XII Championship game. However nobody from he Big XII office...

The Big 12 Preseason Media Poll has been released. And tomorrow they release the Preseason All Big 12 Conference Team (which should be good for some chuckles) and July 26th-28th, Big12Sports.com will carry live press conferences from coaches and players. College football is coming... 2010 Big 12...
Big 12 Football: Rewarding Mediocrity
The Big 12 wants to reward mediocrity. The Big 12 commissioner, Dan Beebe, has come up with a proposal that would allow 6-6 teams to be treated the same as teams with winning records when it comes to bowl games. Hasn’t he already rewarded mediocrity enough by allowing a team from the North to play...
Big 12 "North" vs. Big 12 "South" Basketball: Who Wins?
We all know that recycling is a good idea in our everyday lives so I decided to recycle a story idea that I had done previously.

Will Anyone Win the Big 12 North This Season?
In case anyone was confused, of course the headline comprising the title of this post is a rhetorical question. No matter how bad the North champion is in comparison to the South champion, someone will be sent to Dallas to meet the winner (or winner*) of the South division. That said, the Big 12...
Nebraska Picked To Finish First in Big 12 North By People Who Do This For A Living
A bunch of people who do this for a living picked Nebraska to finish ahead of Kansas, Missouri and Colorado. Clearly there was some competition between Nebraska and Kansas, but the third place position shows a pretty decent drop. Perhaps the economy will begin to recover, the violence and...
