Don't you love how the black part of Dillon didn't exist until the third season when they needed a new storyline? Also, LOL @ the Landry murder story arc. V. weird.

Agree with all of this. Still though, great show.

Article on Bowlsby...interesting that Schultz was in on PAC 12 talks last year.

In Palo Alto, Bowlsby never thought he would lead the Big 12 into a prosperous future. Especially after last summer, when he met with Hargis, Texas president Bill Powers, Kansas State president Kirk Schulz and Oklahoma AD Joe Castiglione about those schools and others joining the Pac-12.

"I asked a lot of questions around those kinds of things after the fact with the three CEOs I met with," Bowlsby said. "We had frank conversations."

the animal is mentioned in every conference discussion ever.  he's a monster (at everything but hiring and not firing ADs which he is a loser at).

Pretty obvious ou, Texas and K-state were going to PAC. I'm sure since were tied to ku we would of had to bring them.

So very blessed.

[PowercatPat]

But according to Beems:

KU is a Lebron-sized free agent.  Deal with it, little brothers of the poor.

Very long term goal to help the Big XII succeed.  Saw it before anyone else did.

I would have let them, but I am a TSC'r.

Guys, I kind of wish we would have gone.  KU would have landed on their feet in the big east.

Jon:

If you had the power to realign the SEC, Big 12, Pac 12, and Big 10 so they will all be 16 team superconferences, what would be the teams you choose for each conference? Keep in mind that geography of the schools is not a factor, you can add any school with a football program to each conference, and you can kick out existing members as long as the total is 16 teams per conference.

So we're killing off the ACC and Big East entirely, yes? I like that idea. The first thing I would do is put Notre Dame in the SEC, so that they would go 4-8 every year for the rest of time. That would make me happy. Also, I'd put Harvard in the Big Ten, strictly to watch them get their ass kicked on a yearly basis. I hate the idea of the Big 12 sticking around, because Texas nearly blew it apart a while back and then pulled a huge cocktease by keeping it all together. It would have been a blast to see the Big 12 fail. For some reason, conference realignment excites me, often more than watching an actual Big Ten football game. I'm gonna do away with the Big 12 entirely, because we don't need it. Let's see if we can create the perfect FBS landscape using three conferences:

BIG TEN:
Michigan
Michigan St.
Penn St.
Ohio St.
Wisconsin
Illinois
Harvard
Northwestern
Iowa
Boston College
University of Chicago (founding conference member!)
Oklahoma
Nebraska
Oklahoma St.
Kansas St.
Kansas

I got rid of the Indiana schools because eff the Indiana schools.

PAC-16:
USC
UCLA
Washington
Wazzu
Oregon
Oregon St.
Cal
Stanford
Texas
TCU
Texas A&M
Mizzou
BYU
Utah
Boise St.
Arizona St.

We don't need two Arizona schools. They're barely schools.

SEC:
Alabama
Auburn
Clemson
Florida St.
Miami
LSU
Florida
Virginia Tech
Georgia
Georgia Tech
Tennessee
South Carolina
North Carolina
Arkansas
Ole Miss
Notre Dame

And there you have it. Apologies to Maryland, Kentucky, Duke, Mississippi State, Virginia, NC St., Missou, Texas Tech, Syracuse and every other major school that I omitted. Just kidding about Mississippi State. Pretty sure that place is just a chicken shed.

[MadCat]

What's the difference between Missou and Mizzou (and it's funny they got kicked to the PAC where we made it to the B10)

[EMAWmeister]

lol at caring about a coach's thoughts on realignment.

I guess Dabo missed the episodes of Friday Night Lights where split Dillon in two, then later close down East Dillon.

Don't you love how the black part of Dillon didn't exist until the third season when they needed a new storyline? Also, LOL @ the Landry murder story arc. V. weird.

Man, I forgot how bad season 2 sucked.

The Landry murder story was originally planned for season 1.
