I was all depressed until I saw that slideshow.  WOW what a great bunch of memories there.  I don't care what anyone says...we OWNED the Big 12 in those years.  And I saw every one of those home games from the sideline.

Lucky...I was a freshman that didn't know WTF K-State football was about, so I bought my tickets late and sat in the corner with the visiting fans/bands.

The fading memories of Jim Rose completely melting down as he watched Cornhole football slide farther and farther into irrelevance . . . likely knowing that the best it will be ever be again is slightly above mediocre.

Grew up with the Big 8 Conference.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I wish that back then the Big 8 had made some unbreakable pact that "if it all goes to hell, the Big 8 sticks together."  So the thing I'll miss most about the Big 12 is the Big 8.  Screw the Texas schools.

One of my fondest memories over the past 40 years of watching all KSU sports was watching the overall turn of events in the 90's....mad as hell that Nub fans were buying large blocks of season tickets just for one game (they did it for FB BB & WBB)...then watching the amount of red gradually disappear in the stands over the years.

I've said all along that the Big 8 admin saw dollar signs and sold out to UT.  Turns out those dollars were peanuts in the end...UT STILL got the greater amount of money.  Not bitter, but never was a Big 12 fan like I was with the Big 8.  The Big 8 might not have been generating as much money, but they had RESPECT as the overall toughest conference in the country to play in.

I won't forget the Inaugural Big XII Football game at home vs Tech in '96.  My grandparents were there to see it (from Texas).  Grandad had a great time.  I got a bad sunburn in the student section.  Martin kicked the first Big XII football.  We thought then that the conference would last forever.

Both of you are wrong and incredibly racist. You'll be begging to go back to College Station in a couple of years. Just wait.

I agree with the sentiments toward the Big 8.  I mean, I'm really not torn up over Nebraska.  But I definitely don't give a crap about Texas (other than riding on their coattails).  Sucks more to see the old Big 8 broken up.

Frank.

The basketball tourneys in KC.

The roadies.  Aggieville after the big wins.

Seriously, I'm really going to miss basketball.

Texas choking in, well, everything.  They lost at home, as the 2 overall seed, against our soon to be new rival.
