BITB coming up on WHB with "huge news" from Kirk Shultz!  (Non Olive Garden related I assume)

Review of 'Prince of Persia'?

[steve dave]

I don't think a lot of people really see what the full consequences would be if KU went to the Pac16 and we went to the MWC.  Not even talking about athletics here (though it would be humiliating).  Chingon has referenced it in some of his posts.  Our school would become dog crap (dog shittier anyway).

ESPNAndyKatz    If remaining Big 12 stays together it is a better bbk league without Neb and Colo.

[steve dave]

AaronDickens    The only fanbase in Texas that is happy about this news is #Baylor, period.

I think Levi put it best on twitter this morning:

levi_wolters    Life tip: If someone tells you "Arkansas to the Big 12" with a straight face, don't be his friend.

that was old big 12.  new big 12, it is a realistic enough possibility to discuss.  the money would be closer to equal, and nu & cu are gone, leaving just isu as a school that arkansas doesn't "fit" with.  bring in lsu, louisville or memphis with arkansas... and they're suddenly closer to the center of a conference than they've ever been.

it makes more sense than a lot of the proposed school moves discussed in the last couple of weeks.

BITB says UPKS says 7 BigXII tards gave OU, A&M, and UT revenue concessions to sweeten pot.  

Nothing new or relevant. More great work by BITB. Oversell and under-deliver and then oversell it again.  BITB

BITB (radio) is on right now.......with live updates....

[pissclams]

anyone else have problems streaming BITB?

When your BITB you are in demand!

hrisLevel    Make no mistake, this isn't good news for Texas Tech if this league remains in tact as is being reported.

[The1BigWillie]

Texas A&M guy just came on following BITB and crap all over the parade.  Says... "I don't see it happening."

[hollacat]

great sponsorship opportunities here

and the red robin round robin big 12 (10?) trophy goes to...  

[KITNfury]

   <-- me except uber white and with chips and salsa

[Cartierfor3]

I think this is a smokescreen boys.  This is a play to make A&M look bad.  That's it.

[slimz]

Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice... If it happens, NO school in revised #Big12 can ever b%@#! about #Texas' reign again.

So, Dan Beebe finds supposed TV dollars only after #Texas holds conf. hostage. Yeah, this thing should be awesome moving forward. #big12

Had it truly been explored, I think #bigeast could've been there for MU, KU, KSU. C-USA for BU & ISU.

Glad this moron isn't posting on here anymore. Props to the guys who sniffed out his stupidity early on.

Yeah, Kitchen, I'm sure BU and ISU would prefer CUSA over $17 mil a year in NEWBIG12.

If this thing still blows up, like the aTm guy is saying he thinks it will on 810 right now, I'm looking forward to Kitchen having to deal with reality.

[steve dave]

BloomOnHoops    If A&M wants to really call the bluff, they should announce that they would stay as long as Texas agrees to a shared-revenue Big 12 Network

[sonofdaxjones]

It may not happen, but LOL at A&M letting Gene Stallings bring them up to the alter and selling them that kool aid . . . they'll slide off into oblivion in the SEC . . . like I keep saying the only people who think A&M is a sports powerhouse is the Collie Cult themselves.   Look at their entire history . . . what have they won??  Nothing, absolutely nothing in relative terms given the size of their school and where they are located.  

[steve dave]

We're still mumped guys

dennisdoddcbs    Orangebloods.com scoops itself? Texas to stay with Tentative Ten. http://tinyurl.com/39ku6vy

Texas A&M guy just came on following BITB and crap all over the parade.  Says... "I don't see it happening."

and now, 2 minutes later when pressed, he says he thinks ATM will stay with Texas.

[steve dave]

Yeah, still mumped. They are forcing aTm to be the bad guy just like NU

schadjoe    The departure of Texas, Texas Tech, OU and OSU to Pac-10 is imminent, four Big 12 sources say

[slimz]

I think this is a smokescreen boys.  This is a play to make A&M look bad.  That's it.

I don't think it's a smokescreen so much as a slow play. Texas knows they're holding the royal flush. There's no reason for them to go all-in after the turn, which is essentially where we're at right now. Keep playing it out and see how much they can get the other players to put into the pot. Either everybody's going to fold, or else they're going to win with the best hand. Either way, they win.

also said aTm becomes Vandy 2.0 in SEC football

[steve dave]

gkketch    Perhaps Texas knows that Aggie is leaving and this is all about them making sure they don't look like the bad guy.

no crap 

[Cartierfor3]

A&M guy sounds pretty convincing to me.  

Why don't they grow a pair anyway?  They're big enough to compete with Texas.  Why does he act like their only choice is being Texas bitch or leave them all together.  A&M seems pretty weak right now to me.
