"Texas will announce its plans to join the Pac-10 after its regents meet next Tuesday, source confirm to Orangebloods.com."


Oh Chip...

Every time I read something that makes the case for Texas seem hopeless I remind myself - if you are going to bluff you have to SELL the bluff.

Why, maybe he could get some money out of it by pawning it on "Pawn Stars":

If this thing is real then it could be worth a lot of money, and I want it; but first i need to get a guy I know to come down to the shop and check it out

Pretty clear reference to Texas (Pac 10, Big 10, SEC) it would seem.

I would have guessed aTm, too, actually.

That's something else I like about Texas. Even if they do join the Big Ten they wont cross the state line to recruit. But the kids they turn down just might want to go where they can exact some revenge.

thats true...just ask Mizzou

So with Tom Osborne disproving Chip Brown's claims about the Big Ten and Texas not talking, will he finally save face and admit he was fed misinformation...........

Nahhhh.

A&M wasn't trying to position itself as the "savior of the Big 12" though... that's why I thought Texas

edit: wrote that before the "too" was added... but yeah

Osborne: One team leaving a conference doesn't end the conference, two teams leaving a conference doesn't end the conference, six teams leaving a conference, ends a conference.

Bo DChip Brown's motto seems to be never give up never surrender. He's Texas's own Iraqi Foreign Policy Minister....

Osborne: One team leaving a conference doesn't end the conference, two teams leaving a conference doesn't end the conference, six teams leaving a conference, ends a conference.

depends on the teams

I just took Osbourne's quote to mean implicate some of the schools calling on him, which, in theory, could have been any / all of them, save CO. The only two schools we know for sure talking to all three were aTm and UT... I just meant that it could have been either or both...

..and, yeah, snuck in that "too"

depends on the teams

also depends on who is available to fill the void

This is from last night, but I don't recall seing this blurb before:

bleacher.report

Both Texas and Texas A&M have stated that they received approval from the Texas state legislature to drop ties to Baylor and Texas Tech, essentially leaving them in the dust alongside Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri, and Iowa State should the Pac-10 deal fall through.

Nebraska Regents: The motion just passed.
