Is anyone else grateful we aren't still in the Big XII?

Yeah, but both have fallen flat on their faces in both of those conferences in football and would have benefited from this weak competition.

About as impressive as Minnesota's 4-0 start.But...but...Mizzou is 4-0.

Is that pot meet kettle? We haven't exactly taken the B1G by storm since joining. Granted, we haven't fallen flat on our faces since leaving the Big 12. However, we have taken some of our biggest beatdowns at the hands of B1G teams. Of the teams leaving the Big 12, obviously A&M has had by far the most success. I don't agree with the OP that Stoops is by far the best coach in the Big 12 either. I'd put him third behind Snyder and Baylor's coach.

I think we would have been better off if CU would have left as planned for the Pac-10, and TCU was added as a start. No one could have stopped the realignment though, because of structural deficiencies with the Big 12, UT pushing ahead with the LHN, and the retarded amount of non-football bitterness between A&M and UT.
Maybe Mizzou and A&M are happy with their situation, but I see the B10 being watered down even more with the expansion to 14, a lot of games that are frankly not compelling, further away, and without even the tinge of a rivalry like we had with Big 12 opponents. Then there's the big picture...the strength of the SEC, increasing strength of the Pac-12, a few resurgent programs in the ACC. It makes the B10 look like a league that is spiraling towards second tier sans Urban Meyer.
