Chip Brown (Orangebloods guy) just said the Pac 10 Commish gave him a statement that he could "neither confirm nor deny" the rumors. So, basically, run for the bomb shelters.

Where did you hear/see that?

Keep your radio on....I'm going to need constant updates on this, obviously.

In truth, Dan Beebe COULD turn this around and try and poach other schools to fill the ones that are obviously going to leave us.  

For example, Louisville and Cincy could both be looking....pair that with select teams from the MWC and MAC, and I suppose we could be close to holding on to a BCS bid.


We'd almost be better off just approaching the MWC right now and asking if they'll take us.....lock in our spot.  They have 9 now, and adding Boise State takes them to 10.  I'd hate to miss out on them moving to 12.  

In this scenario, KU will be looking too, so we may as well round it off at 12.

I still think this scenario is Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).  I think Orangebloods.com just had their "It's Patterson!" moment most Rivals sites have been having lately.

Remember when Rivals was a recruiting site?  with actual updates?  How do we have a magazine editor and a part time guy for recruiting?

All of this realignment talk has devolved into a bunch chicks talking about how far they're willing to go to get with the cool guy.

The Pac-10 just offered everything plus backdoor if they're talking about taking Texas Tech and OSU.

Pure speculation, but A&M may be thinking about playing footsie with the SEC again. That's all I've got

Everybody step back from the ledge.  Tim Weiser and Dan Beebe will figure this out.

Plus, according to the powertards this is still at least 3 to 4 years out.

Mods, please set up a paypal account to start raising money right now for the Cabela's gift card.  Mods?

I say shazbot! the Cabela's card at this point.  It's going to take some pheasants and guns.  And lots of them.  Time for people to start digging deep around here if we've got any shot at Tim Weiser saving the Big XII from oblivion.

Can you imagine what John Currie's Inbox must look like right now?  rough ridin' train wreck, and rightly so....but still, that guy is going to get hammered.

I just hope that sort of stuff is still enticing to him.  What if those Pac-10 hippies have already gotten inside his head?

we'll always have the 2003 dp championship game. nobody can take that away from us.

Great question.  Because printing a fake magazine that nobody reads and pretending to be a tv personality on a homemade set are bigger priorities????????

Who knows why recruiting and covering relevant issues aren't a priority.  It's a K-State thing I think.

He still has too much Emporia in him.  Tim's a simple man.  He lives a Big XII lifestyle.  Just give him a gun, some animals, two paychecks and four full months of vacation in a twelve month calendar year and he's content.  

The Pac-10 and her temptress, whoring mouth will never sway him.

Mountain West speculation

If this does happen, the MWC should clean up by adding Kansas, Kansas St., and Baylor (just for the basketball). I don't see much use in Iowa St. If they also add Boise St, the MWC could then go for Houston, SMU, Nevada and/or Fresno St. to make it either a 14 or a 16 team conference. This would make a very powerful conference.

Another option I could see occuring is BYU, Utah, TCU, and Boise State all leaving their conferences, get together with these Big 12 leftovers, and starting a new conference from scratch. They could get Air Force, or any of the better teams from the WAC, MWC, and CUSA to complete a new conference. That way, BYU, Utah, TCU, and Boise St. don't have to deal with a "weak" bottom half of a conference, as the current MWC stands.

[CHONGS]

I think its inevitable, we are going to be either:

a) Even more Texas's bitch when it comes to money sharing along with a few added smaller schools (OU, OSU, and CO leave)
b) Left in cold and out of the BCS mix in some sprawled out bastard conference.

in either scenario our fb team get a tad bit worse talent-wise

for bb a) is actually a postive and b) is really bad.

Getting rejected by Mormons has to sting.  They like everyone (well not dark-skinned people, but that's not a issue for Iowegans)
