New conference name

[killer cacti]

On the other hand, what about the new western conference? I've already posted this else where but given the name of the thread....

 

This morning here in Austin, they were bandying about various names on one of the radio shows, when one of the hosts pointed out that since some of the teams were in the South....and some were in the far West....we should call it....The Southwest Conference!

 

And no, I'm not making this up.

 

I can't wait till we give you back to Mexico...

:laughpound :laughpound

If the Big X only takes Nebraska then it could be the Big XII. If the Pac Ten takes only the Buff's then it would be like the Big X was "the Pac Ten + one. Then the rest of the Big XII stands pat they could be the Big X... Kind like ring around the rosy!!! :laughpound

Seeing how the Big 10 currently has 12 schools in it (not counting Nebraska), I don't see them changing the name if Nebraksa does come aboard.

I think it should be named the "Now we can finally beat the SEC" conference

 

 

Not a good name; wouldn't be true.

Would you care to name them for me????

UoC is not a member of the B10, they are a member of the CiC and are affiliated with the Big Ten.

 

Read your own link.

 

"The Big Ten Conference is the United States' oldest Division I college athletic conference. Its eleven member institutions are located primarily in the Midwestern United States, stretching from Iowa and Minnesota in the west to Pennsylvania in the east. "

I read your link. Did you??? My first post was simply a joke. I really thought that was clear, so it really doesn't matter. But it does state clearly a former member with dates and all.
