He wasn't starting a fire - he was just pulling the alarm.

i read that line in my serious rusty voice

I read it in  Jack Nicholson voice…the “you can’t handle the truth” kinda voice.  

I read it in a 1930's detective voice-over voice.

Read it in the Billy Joel "We didn't start the fire" singing voice.

Try the Fred Thompson voice from Hunt for Red October.  Blew my mind

I just used Sean Connery.  Thought that one couldn't be beat...but then did it with Ozzy Osborne, and found that one to be surprisingly entertaining.

omg.  Sean.  yes.  like in the same "Your best?  Losers whine about their best, winners go home and f the prom queen" voice.

Try the Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) kid from What's Eating Gilbert Grape.

The Jim Mora "Playoffs?!?!" voice did it for me..

Try it in Chubaca's voice.

Angry/agitated Chewbacca (you rough ridin' misspelled Chewbacca), or chilled out and all matter-of-fact Chewbacca?

Ignore Big 12 presidents postpone Friday meeting ... Reply

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Big 12 presidents were supposed to gather on Friday to talk about the future of the league, a Big 12 administrator told Orangebloods.com.

But that meeting has been postponed indefinitely until Oklahoma and Oklahoma State can vocalize with certainty what their plans are, the administrator said.

Oklahoma made it clear to officials from Texas during a meeting on Sunday that it considered the Big 12 dead with Texas A&M moving on to the Southeastern Conference, sources said.

The seven-member board of regents at OU was unified in its desire to apply for membership to the Pac-12 at that time, sources said. And Oklahoma State was expected to follow suit, the sources said.

But Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott has indicated the Pac-12 doesn't want to be the catalyst that triggers mass realignment in college athletics, sources say.

Scott may be waiting to approach his presidents and chancellors with the porposal of adding OU and Oklahoma State until Texas A&M's move to the SEC is complete, which could take awhile.

Three schools in the Big 12 - Baylor, Kansas and Iowa State - have voiced publicly that they will not waive their right to sue the SEC over its potential acquisition of Texas A&M.

If the Pac-12 is waiting on Texas A&M and the SEC, this process could be on pause. Sources close to Texas have indicated the Longhorns are still fighting for the Big 12. But if OU and Oklahoma State can not be convinced to recommit to the Big 12, Texas is seriously considering a move to the Atlantic Coast Conference, sources said.

Oklahoma officials were hoping Texas would be on board to join the Pac-12, sources said. But that does not appear to be the case.

The one thing we know in realignment is that the longer it plays out, the more chance there is for change.

But with OU and Oklahoma State still mulling their futures, Friday's meeting of the Big 12 presidents has been postponed.

Stay tuned.

The geography of this is so incredibly stupid. Is the Gulf of Mexico considered part of the Atlantic Coast?

is this not 'vocalizing' their plans.  unless they are idiots and don't mind playing in what they believe is a 'dead' conference.

[Emo EMAW]

Why is KU not waiving their right but we are?  DO WE KNOW SOMETHING?!?!?!

[ben ji]

Texas to the ACC will never happen. Just Texas playing their hand through good ole Chip again.

[Rage Against the McKee]

I don't think that we are, either. We just haven't publicly stated that we are not.

I'm sorry but why are the presidents waiting to discuss the future of the conference until after OU and OSU have already made up their mind?

[Emo EMAW]

It's all a big game of chicken.

[catzacker]

If we are to believe that there is actual negotiating going on, wouldn’t someone report it?  Like, wouldn’t that get out to someone?  Granted, the reporters covering these things north of norman appear to be happy being fat, terrible smelling, lazy and/or skinny, non-zeal reporters.  And you could argue that the reporting going on in Norman and Austin are simply just negotiating platforms. The OU BOR are meeting on Monday, so you’d think that a hint of hope would start to filter.  A “there’s a source that says a plan is being floated out that might just keep the conference together…stay tuned”.  But there’s nothing, save for some “I got an email from my uncle who’s BFF’s with DeLoss…”.  Nothing.  OU is done w/ it.

The Big 12 isn't going to add anybody that would change OU's decision. If OU leaves, the conference is dead. If they stay, a conference call is needed to decide who to add.

[steve dave]

Chip's continual, "TX now more dedicated to the LHN than ever!" comments make me think maybe OU has given TX an ultimatum that they scrap the LHN in favor of a B12 Network (or a TX/OU network or something else) or they walk and now Texas is waiting to see if they are serious or not.  

[Emo EMAW]

So UT has offered it's terms to OU, assume equal revenue sharing for 1st and 2nd tier?

[Belvis Noland]

The Big 12 isn't going to add anybody that would change OU's decision. If OU leaves, the conference is dead. If they stay, a conference call is needed to decide who to add.

Right.  The Big 12 member schools can't do anything to impact OU's decision.  So, what is OU waiting for?  If it's truly stability that they are worried about, they could have left a year ago when NU and CU bolted.  They could have left a month ago when A&M bolted.  They could leave today, tomorrow.  Why drag it out another few weeks??  What's going to change in that period of time?  

I dunno.  The longer they delay, the more hope I have that they're still considering salvaging the Big XII.  

[Pete]

If the conference is saved, do we get free shirts again?
