    Big Ten and other Conference Expansion

    and now. the latest in the mudhole series from close to jumping. a little background. the guys on this site realize that a lot of fans get panicky over big games. this series is intentionally provocative and over the top. Barking Carnival — Blog — Why Texas Stomps a Mudhole in Alabama and...

    hey, guys. maybe this doesn't seem to relate to conference expansion, but thought you might like to read the thoughts of a couple of the best posters in longhorn blogdom regarding what they believe are the chances for your new conference member to come in on a high note. see i did relate it to...

    believe me, i know how you guys feel. we feel that way about the guys who have been hosses for us, too. but we expect our players to behave like men. go check out on the horn boards what is being said about roy williams at dallas lately.

    not to mention the horse collar. they had that game won and then threw it away.

    Big Ten and other Conference Expansion

    you're right, dryden. it's bad for us all when the officials get involved. bad for the game, too. but when the officials step in and the tape shows they are right, we all need to be adult and accept it. i assume you looked at that video. what do you think? more: i saw somewhere somebody...

    interesting thing about bo. apparently he is still saying they got robbed. doctor tom osborne spit a lot of venom at the conclusion of the game, i have read, but the word is he called mack brown the next morning to apologize. crazy thing is that all pelini needs to do is review the tape. the...

    muff, that isn't about bo. it's about his brother, carl, who is the dc at neb, i think. absolutely agree, jlb. cursory look at barking carnival doesn't turn up the stoop/pelini visit discussion. it wasn't a post of its own or was only a hot topic. i don't remember which. if it was buried...

    me, too, muff, but the stoops trip is a matter of record. bama is preparing for a national title game. do you think they would welcome a howdy visit right now? more: two defenses really took us to the wall this past season: oklahoma and nebraska. isn't it interesting that these are the two...

    good grief, rugby, i'm not on their level. walking wounded here. i don't see an a&m jump being the igniter in this powder keg. the one i worry about is missou. if they go to the big ten, then the only way i see us going with you guys is if there is a big realignment or a 14 or 16-team build...

    mike is right. that's the source of the pelini talk. the horns talk that i can quickly find is a discussion on the shaggy bevo site concerning commentary during the holiday bowl, in which nebraska played, of course, where the pelini trip was mentioned. i didn't hear that myself, but multiple...

    muff, that's the scuttlebutt on the texas boards. your point is a good one and i'll try to chase down something substantive. incidentally, i pay almost no attention to the texas boards that mostly offer prattle. i've mentioned two boards, burnt orange nation and barking carnival, that are...

    thursday. i don't know why, but there is a predisposition in the genetics of our species to make predictions. why in the world do we feel the need to do that? isn't analysis of what happened infinitely more useful and compelling than trying to outguess the future? and the way we play this...

    that is stout. had to think about it a while. four major conferences. i think the bcs arrangement would adjust so that the bcs bowls would go on about as they do now. which is dopey, of course. begs for a playoff. it could be populated by sub-conference winners. that would be great. i...

    a lot of people don't like the conference championship games, muck. a lot of coaches don't like them. it's another really good place the wheels can come off, and a great shot at going to a title game can founder on those rocks. the reality, though, these days is that money is tight and will...

    jag, if we have to be truly southern to stay with them we are in trouble. sorry about your dad's experience. brooklyn is a world apart from texas, but it is a world apart from the entire rest of the country, really. i lived in nassau county twice when i worked jobs for grumman, and once just...

    colonel, here's a couple of good things to read. pay particular attention to how these guys frame the question. there are multiple issues at play, and a good candidate isn't good enough. they are looking to hit a home run like when penn state came in...

    sure thing, woody. hope you can find some comfort in our diversity and look for the good in us. more: you are right when you say texas is culturally different from the midwest, but person after person here, many of whom live or have lived in texas, have assured that the differences are small...
