Never been on a board, I take it?

I feel like heading off to Varner Hall right now. I'm off for the afternoon.

I've got nothing from HuskersNside. 1620 The Zone link is working. They're just talking about what may or may not be discussed. They're just filling time.

I recommend that you don't bring Vince to the debate Knapp. Vince is a very well-spoken guy, he just typos once in a while. He's not a crazy demented freakish anti-typo guy like me. In fact, almost nobody is like that except me. I HATE typos. Hate 'em.

Copy the URL from the top of the page on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bmxyj6iInMc Sometimes you'll click on a video on the right when you're at YouTube and you'll get something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmHqQydDRwg&feature=channel I prefer not to use the "refer" or "feature" codes. I've had trouble with those working properly in the past. If you do that, do a quick search in YouTube for the title of the second video you clicked on, then go to that video and copy the clean URL.

I know. I'll bet you about fell off your chair when you read that. You were like, "That's SO unlike him!" I do have my opinions, and I'm not shy about them. I guess that shows, huh?

Hopefully they don't want us to debate them for who has the right to it. If it is on the football field, though, I like our chances. I'd be more than happy to debate them over it. Their forum or ours.

We're NU. If Northwestern wants to be called "NU" then they can come over to Memorial Stadium, strap on their pads, and take the rights to the name away from us.

That would make sense. There won't be any Big12 to play in next year.

Never going to happen. If the Big 12 survives they'll need the KC and St. Louis markets to renegotiate their TV contract. They've already lost Omaha and Denver, and if they don't join the Pac-1? the Missouri TV markets are all they'll have left outside of Texas.

It's the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bmxyj6iInMc I was going to start a thread just like this. Kudos!

That is one of the fastest ways to get drunk. Your colon absorbs alcohol just like it absorbs medicines from suppositories. You put liquid alcohol in your colon and you're bypassing your stomach's digestive process, so you're getting pure alcohol, not processed. I will counsel anyone who reads this NOT to do this. Seriously. It'll mess you up.

Exactly! This is a foolish risk for this child. Are children so worthless that we let them do something so dangerous?

I've heard they have set up video screens outside the main room and into the hallways for the overflow. They're expecting a crowd beyond capacity of the interview room.

Funny thing about rivalries - Texas is, was, and maybe always will be Oklahoma's #1 rival, but aTm is Texas' #1 rival, by far. Of the two I think Texas would prefer to stick with A&M than OU. It'll be weird if Texas and A&M go to the same conference and ditch Oklahoma. What will OU think when they've lost both Texas and Nebraska? That's a tough situation when you haven't gotten there by your own choice like Nebraska.

Yes we do. Between Tuffy and Fro, I will be VERY unhappy if Missouri doesn't come to the Big 10 and we end up parting ways. Those two guys are gold.

For all the bluster and saber-rattling from down south about who's on the boat and who isn't, all directed at Nebraska and Missouri, looks like someone forgot to tell Dan Beebe and his Texas counterparts that other schools have wandering eyes. How poetic is it that while Nebraska and Missouri were "under threat of ultimatum," Colorado sneaks out the back door. Congratulations, Big XII. You just proved why you're a failing conference.

Is there a "keep me logged in" or "log me in automatically" option when you log in? If so, check that box. If there is, and you're checking that box, the next thing I would wonder about is if you're using different browsers at work and home, like IE at work and FireFox at home?

It always seemed logical to me to support the schools in my conference in their games. I've always rooted for Oklahoma to win every game they play - except when they play us. In OOC and Bowl games, I'm always hoping the teams from my conference win. The better they do, the better my conference looks, and the better my team looks when we win the conference.

I always thought the brown chips were the things you tried to avoid when you walked across the pasture.

The worst thing about moving will be that we won't be playing the day after Thanksgiving anymore. A Husker tradition for decades is gone!

You mean Huskerboard was in on this whole conference expansion? No comment.

Uh-oh. Ear is officially a naughty word. Bradr, can you come to my office please?

I think Texas realizes they would be a little fish in that big pond, and that's not palatable to them. They would certainly make a lot of money in the SEC, but they will NOT be able to bully around the rest of the league. Florida, Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Georgia - these are not schools that will be intimidated by Texas like Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri, Colorado and Oklahoma State were. They'll put Texas in their place fast if the Horns try to install a puppet Commissioner like they did with Beebe. Texas has a lot more opportunity to call shots in a laid-back Pac-10, and when you combine the Seattle, Portland, San Francisco/Oakland, Los Angeles, San Diego, Pheonix and all the Texas markets together, you've got one heck of a footprint to use as a tool to negotiate your TV contracts. I think the Pac-Whatever conference with Texas would make a network as valuable as the Big Ten Network, and Texas still gets to call a lot of shots. I think Texas to the Big 10, which will NOT let Texas run the show at all, is the least likely scenario. I still think it's possible that the Big 12 adds a couple of replacement teams to cover for Nebraska and Colorado, and moves forward. But that's the least likely scenario, IMO.

Do you really think that deals like this are so tenuous that Nebraska would, by words spoken and unspoken, actions taken and not taken, put themselves in a position to be out of a conference based on a rumor? This is the real world.
