Didn't Osborne warn everyone years ago that bringing in Texas was a mistake/cancer. This should be a warning to any conference thinking of picking them up (PAC10 are you listening?). They are not worth it, trust us. Maybe they will become independent, no one in there right mind should bring them into their conference. Let's see, that makes potentially two conferences they have killed, the SWC and now probably the Big 8/12.

what does vermont have anything too do with this? do the dairy cows oppose a big XII breakup?

As goes Vermont, so goes the war.

And I think this is part of the reason why Osborne retired when he did. He could see the writing on the wall and didn't want any part of it. Ironically, he's smack dab in the middle of it.

It was a funny.

Appears Kansas is in denial.

For me, I really wonder if it's Texas that is the problem or if it's the baggage that comes with Texas (the siblings and the legislature).
