Big 12 Balkanization: Where Do We Go From Here?
The bell doth toll for the Big 12, a fractured, dysfunctional conference that probably outlived its valid life span three years ago. Assuming that's the case, where does K-State land in the new world order? Based on the following assumptions, I present my analysis after the jump. Assumption 1:...
A&M Makes It Official ... Again
So Texas A&M officials spend all of Tuesday denying they sent a letter of withdrawal to the conference, only to announce it officially less than 24 hours later? Ladies and gentlemen, that's Chocopockets for you. Discuss. Also, Chip was wrong again. Surprise!
Four Things You Need to Know About Texas A&M's (Apparently) Impending Move to the SEC
The first thing you need to know is that it’s all Texas A&M’s fault. We know that, because the Texas Longhorns told us so. The Aggies are breaking up the Big 12 that the Burnt Orange tried to save; it’s silly to suggest that the ‘Horns are using the depleted league as a...
ROUNDTABLE: Post-Farmageddon Edition
For the second time in two years — and only the second time in 10 years — K-State started Big 12 play 1-0 after yet another Farmageddon win in Kansas City against Iowa State. Attendance at the game left something to be desired, and that's putting it lightly, but the BOTC crew was there...
Dan Beebe: Real man of genius
This was far too good to pass up today. Remember that ironclad pledge Chip Brown, Dan Beebe, and nearly everyone associated with the Big 12 mentioned? The one that would force the members to stay in the conference for the long haul? Chuck Carlton of the Dallas Morning News got ahold of Dan Beebe...
The Arkansas Razorbacks Are Considering Joining the Big 12 . . . the Way Barack Obama Would Rather be President of Argentina
Look, I’ll be the first to admit it: I bought into some stupid rumors back during all the conference expansion silliness---remember that?---but no one, I mean no one, should be stupid enough to buy into this foolishness: Sources tell OB Arkansas has definitely put out feelers about possibly...
Larry Scott Killed The Pac-16? I Call Shenanigans on Texas
And now here's a story something the Texas-hater in all of us Cal fans should love (although if you want TRUE Texas hating with no basis in reality, check out Clay Travis's Fanhouse takedown that Glanko found). Chip Brown has apparently written the "definitive take" on conference realignment. And,...
Quack Fix: Masoli pleads not guilty and may get another chance, still no word on Utah
Better late than never, here's your Wednesday Morning Afternoon Quack Fix: In case you missed it Monday, Oregon got another quarterback commitment from 4-star Floridian Jerrard Randall, an ESPN150 recruit who appears to fit the dual-threat model head coach Chip Kelly loves in his signal callers....
The College Football Conference Expansion Drinking Game
For now, the North was more than willing to make those concessions in order to keep everything going. But the terms of the deal also sow the seeds for the same problem whenever the Big Ten or the Pac-11 or the SEC decides to take another run at expansion. Team Speed Kills As soon as this TV deal...
Chip Brown: Expansion's Edward R. Murrow or Austin's Baghdad Bob?
One of the more amusing sideshows of the entire conference realignment saga is the rise of Chip Brown. Two weeks ago, Brown was best known as a former reporter for the Dallas Morning News. Then, on June 3rd, Brown broke the story that Texas and five other Big XII schools were considering joining...
