I admitted I was in the midst of a rant. After a lonnnnnng day at work, where I'm out of touch with the CF (blocked due to it's reputation for malicious content)....I'm in need of anything new regarding the fate of our beloved Cyclones...needless to say sense of humor isn't applicable right now....college football Armageddon is upon us
Austin Statesman throws ISU some complements, but is realistic about the situation

Chip Brown of Orangebloods.com just Tweeted that Texas to the ACC is picking up steam. He has a story on his site but it's premium content so I'm guessing most of you won't be able to see it.
This rumor has been floating under the outlandish and wild rumors for quite some time now and I've heard talk that it's more than likely that it could include KU... at some point.
Under that scenario, Texas is basically calling OU's bluff and making its own way.
That would mean OU would have no choice but to bolt for the Pac-12 — and take OSU with them — leaving Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State, Baylor, Texas Tech and Missouri to fend for themselves.
Under that scenario there's always the well-documented fallback plan of KU, KSU and MU to the Big East. That could even include Baylor. Not bad. Not great. Especially if you're not a believer in the Big East's long-term future.
So, if UT goes ACC and OU goes Pac-12, could a scenario arise where those two are actually fighting to take KU with them? Absolutely. Sources have told me that if that were to become the case, it's much more likely that KU would go with Texas to the ACC or with K-State and Missouri to the Big East.
But... If the Pac-12 offer comes first and the Big 12 is falling apart around them, KU would have to have one heck of a guarantee from Texas AND the ACC or the Big East to pass on that offer.
While it seems like we're starting to figure some of this out, it's actually just getting crazier and crazier by the minute.

Chip Brown may be the most worthless "credible" source of them all.
Almost rivals Boomer's wannabe status of a realignment know-it-all.
