    Tulane to the Big 12?

    I don't think so. Besides, Nawlans sea/riverfood is overrated.

    14 Teams?

    FACEPALM!! Why didn't I think of that? Simple and effective.

    14 Teams?

    I guess the stupid side of my brain is blocking the not so stupid side. How would conference scheduling work with 14 teams? I assume two 7 team divisions. Obviously, you'd play the other six in your division every year, but what about the cross-divisional play? It looks to me like you'd have...

    TCU Invited to Big12

    Anybody else notice that all this movement, first trying to keep Mizzou in the fold, now the active reaching out for more teams has gone into overdrive since Mr. Neinas replaced the former commissioner of the conference? I don't think it's coincidence. Oh, and btw, Ft. Worth is a cool town...

    Robert Griffin III is Japanese?

    So he may become a Japanese citizen. Who cares? The important question for Baylor fans: Is he Baptist?:plaugh:

    Mizzou to the SEC?

    Amen, brother. Anyone who thinks Mizzou bolting for the SEC isn't going to hurt is deluding themselves. Missouri has the second largest population in the conference, with major markets in KC and St. L. If it's all about the demographics/TV sets, they've got plenty of clout. ISU needs to be...

    Mizzou to the SEC?

    Good summation. Stay, Tigers.

    I like the future of this football program and this footall team.

    Like everyone else, I was about ready to open a vein by halftime. We couldn't have any toes left, we shot ourselves in the foot so many times. The easy TD pass after Leonard's in-your-face routine and the blocked punt for another uncontested TD about pushed me over the edge. Don't get me...

    TV Revenue Sharing?

    In the weeks preceding the final put down of the recent almost-insurrection, it was widely and loudly rumored that UT was willing to vote to evenly share the Tier 1 and 2 revenue. For awhile, it was even bandied about that they would share 50% of their tier 3 LHN revenue. Is any of this...

    uofi condescension

    Sorry to disappoint you, SI, but was merely radio channel surfing, trying to find someplace to give me the score of the Okie St.-aTm game, you know, a game that actually meant something. Unlike the uofi's titanic struggle against LA-MONROE. I listened for a total of about 5 minutes, first...

    Saying goodbye to TAMU at JTS. Any good ideas?

    I hate to lose a big time member of the conference, which aTm was, btw. But if their leaving makes it so the 'elite' of the conference come to realize it's in their best interest to keep the conference together, and the best way to do that is to share tier 1 and 2 TV money equally, then their...

    uofi condescension

    Now that the Hoks have won a couple of games after the ISU game, the true colors are beginning to show. Listening to the post game round table discussion after the Hoks game with that national power LA-MONROE, not to be confused with the PCM Mustangs, the common theme bubbling to the surface was...

    Mizzou fan has short memory

    Amen to that. You appreciate CF so much after you've been on other boards. Either old technology, or just the "what were they thinking?" explanation. On a wider note, I've noticed the venom this realignment brouhaha has brought to the surface. Fans of Tech and KU coming to cyber blows...

    Who is SEC #14?

    Interesting speculation here. It looks like Mizzou is in a very favorable position to call their shots. Their president/chancellor pretty much led the late charge to keep the Big XII together, so perhaps they are leaning towards staying, assuming fairness in revenue is realized. On the other...

    Former Hawk Arrested

    I didn't know about 'first three carries for 3 tds,' but assume if true was the result of short yardage goal line carries. Whatever, what I most remember about Mr. Greving, apart from that sweet tackle in the hoks endzone, was the phone call he put into channel 13's sound off, when there had...

    Miller and Deace starting right now.

    "I did listen to WHO on my drive back to eastern Iowa . . Jon, you were very fair. Good Job. " I'm sure he was. Jon is usually gracious after a game whether winning or losing. But as far as fairness goes, lack of excuses makes fairness a necessity. In almost every way, Iowa State gave...

    Props to Money

    Rhoads said on his TV show last night that Reynolds had practiced very little to begin the week, but put in more work each day, even though the toe was painful. He played through and it sure showed on Saturday. Well done, young man. Let's have 11 more games just like it. (counting a bowl game in...

    Miller and Deace starting right now.

    I haven't the foggiest idea of why it would be relevent what teams in years' past did after a certain scenario, and try to make a valid prediction what this team, with entirely different coaches and players would do. Are there football spirits out there dogging our every move, making certain we...

    Tailgating at ISU

    I agree with the "bar" analogy. We wound up in the public lot NW of Kinnick last year, which is about like Hilton parking but more cramped. The big difference I noticed that there's a lot more drinking than eating for hok games. Drinking is certainly a big part of the Cyclone landscape on...
