Is Auburn worthy of an invitation to join the Big XII?
« on: September 16, 2014, 02:45:50 PM »
I'm not sure that Commissioner Bowlsby should make an offer all willy-nilly, but they have been one of the first teams in the Southern Conference to adopt the HUNH offense that aggy and mizzou have used to terrorize that league.  Plus, I think they could at least be on par with  TCU, Oklahoma State and Texas...

What kind of showing would they have to have on Thursday vs a true power 5 opponent for you to find them worthy of consideration?

I certainly think they are worth consideration, but only if Alabama comes with them.

I think so. But KU would almost certainly blackball them for reasons I think we all know.

Seems like with the obesity and racism KU would want to be sister schools with Auburn?

Polar opposites with football/basketball with those two, tho...

Two similarities, only one difference!

If it meant getting Alabama I'd put up with Auburn.

We already have West Virginia, why would we want another?
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

I have a feeling that after their AD, etc. see the atmosphere at The Bill on Thursday, the begging they do will make BYU's efforts look like a mere request.

I think the critical questions are: How do they feel about Texas?  How would they feel about Texas after getting big-timed on a conference decision?

That's what Texas thought when they joined. They have been successful, but we have as many championships as they do.
