i'll summarize: the texas legislators are going to block us from leaving.
Quote from: dennis dodd's twitterIf it wasn't before, folks, it is officially ON. RT @catorano: @ChuckCarltonDMN @dennisdoddcbs soonerscoop reporting Texas has hired a lobbyist to keep A&M from going to SEC.

A DIFFERENT high ranking SEC official just called to say (angrily) that any report involving Clemson, FSU and Missouri is totally wrong.

Ron takes a ton of crap but his actual results were 2nd go around snyder'esque. Had he been white he would be looked at much differently by our stupid fanbase.
Big 12 ADs meet at 3
At least you guys could always beat Tejas in whatever sport you played them.
Seems like a good time to remind everyone who reads this thread that when you agreed to the www.goEMAW.com Terms and Conditions to register, you agreed to not talk to traditional and/or non-traditional media outlets about the contents of this board.
I know at least one mod who has been contacted by a reporter from Baton Rouge so we can expect this to increase as this story heats up. If this happens, politely decline to comment. We have some pretty effective ways of identifying who is talking so don't think we won't know who is violating our T&C. A violation would most definitely result in a suspension if not an outright ban. Probably without a refund of any kind.
Thanks for keeping this in mind.
Oops.
Thanks man. We try to keep things grounded around here and as a fellow non-AAU school we have to stick together and learn our places.can you give me the name of poster who made that quote? He/she is not representative of this message board or its members and I would like to censure them.
The "what makes me kind of nervous......" quote is from the user "pissclams" and the "two sport powerhouse" is from the user "WildcatNkilt".
Wait, what? Nebraska is AAU?
My Dad is a close friend of Mike Slive (SEC Commiss), and he told me that A&M is the one making this all happen quicker than anticipated.
A&M and FSU are the first to get invites. A&M has already basically said yes, barring any wrangling/extortion attempts by the Texas politicos.
IF FSU says yes, the SEC will stay at 14 for the time being, with an eye on going to 16 in the not too distant future.
HOWEVER, if FSU turns their invited down, OU is next on SEC wishlist, and the SEC brass is willing to bring OSU & TBoone's $$$ along to get OU.
If they both accept, that leaves the SEC at 15...and that's where KSU is in the mix, along with Va Tech (who is expected to decline, they haven't been as receptive in behind the scenes communication).
So as I understand it, FSU & Oklahoma will control KSU's fate. Will be interesting to see how it all plays out.

great first post rainman. while our info is a bit different I can tell you are getting some good info. keep it coming.
also, thoughts on Bo pissing his pants during a game this year?
Have fun in the MWC you idiots. Here is a direct quote from one of your posters in another thread:
"what makes me kind of nervous is that we have the second most recognizable mascot in all of sports. everyone knows that when they see the powercat, that k-state is coming lynch mob style. hopefully they don't think the stupid terroristhawk is coming right behind us, even though no one really recognizes the terroristhawk."
What a joke that is. No one outside of Big 12 schools will think of "wildcats" as ksu, it'll be Kentucky. You guys should be happy if you get to ride KU's coat tail to the Big east. There you'll be a top 4 football team year in and year out. If you go to the SEC you'll be lucky to make a bowl game just like you're lucky if you do that now.
Here is another quote from user of this site:
"I think being a two sport powerhouse gives us the edge over some of these other schools."
How are you a power house in any sport? How many Big12 titles do you have this past decade in anything? 1? KU and Texas are the only power houses in Basketball and you guys in the past 5 years have been to what, 2 bowl games? GTFO with your power house crap.
