apparently Deloss wants to stay at 10, probably because they want a bigger piece of the pie.

Now that we're done Bullying Texas around, I wounder who our next victim will be? Probably either Alabama or Florida!

Went to the Auburn game a couple of years ago and was

by some buddies KU gf that wore cut off jorts and a wrinkly old I-Cat T-Shirt to the game. NEVER AGAIN

well this escalated quicker than anticipated. My sources are telling me the plan for KSU - SEC partnership was suppose to happen quietly next summer, however, T A&M is forcing our hand. Prepare for the ride...

Does this mean we can start eating shrimp gumbo and drinking cocktails while tailgating!?

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.

No, you're wrong. The SEC is chomping at the proverbial bit to get KSU. Your father is the worst kind of liar there is, a filthy liar.

We're screwed. Here's K-State's press release regarding the possibliity of A&M leaving.

“K-State is fully committed to the Big 12 Conference and continues to be excited about its future. Should a current member elect to depart the league, we remain confident in the commitment of the remaining schools towards a bright future. We are actively engaged with our conference administration and fellow presidents and athletic directors to determine strategic next steps. As in the past we will provide more updates as they are warranted.”

It's a smoke screen. Aggies played this card perfectly last year and now look where they are! Patience my friend.

I think this is the perfect time for Dodds to send the chickenhawks packing........I think BIG 8 would be a novel conference title. If ku can't get into the big east there is always they're namesake the jayhawk conference.

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.

I appreciate that Pete. I mean the guy said the last guy he talked to dumped poison on some trees in Auburn, so I didn't think much would come of it...

Bad news guys, just talked to my uncle (who happens to know the AD at a certain SEC West institution) and he's saying talks of KSU to SEC may be slowing down. This deal may have been ~~fitz'd~~ _fan'd up.
