Big Ten and other Conference Expansion

One is from Alabama, the other is from Kentucky. If you can't tell the difference, I win.

I've seen confederate flags and truck pools here in Ohio, are we too in the southeast?

Why not just add Clemson and Memphis and have a clean sweep of FBS 'Tigers'. You could even have a Tigers division.

:p

Tigers Division
Other Critters Division

To be fair, if it was Cincinnati...that place is just so confusing, I'm not sure what region of the country that is.

I'm guessing the one without the Confederate flag is from Alabama.

One of the few half proper uses of the Second Confederate Navy Jack. :p

What is always hilarious to me is that what rednecks call the "Stars and Bars" - or "Confederate Flag" - was never the flag of the Confederacy....nor was it the flag actually known as the "Stars and Bars". So other than that...

So when they say, "It's about Heritage, not Hate!", I guess they really mean "It's about make believe Heritage."

In the poll, Missouri is the third largest vote getter. What was the reason? Pure geography in getting the KC and St. Louis market, and thus, the increased tv $$$$ you would get by adding Missouri instead of luke warm NE college fans?

Trick question. The confederate flag could be a poser, but the third nipple is the clue to identifying which is which.

Hillbillies around the state could only wish.

Cincinnati is in SW Ohio...Nick was most likely referring to SE Ohio...down around Gallia Co. & such.

Cincinnati = The northern most southern city in the US.

 

[Woody1968]

Texas and Kentucky aren't really in the southeast.

East Texas is definately in the Southeast.

Cincinnati = The northern most southern city in the US.

The briars who migrated north of the river are still a far cry from southern rednecks....and the German Catholics tempered some of their more uncouth ways.

Head over to Peebles sometime.

I have no comment regarding Washington County 'cept that I was born there.

Editor's note: Texas A&M University president R. Bowen Loftin sat down with 12th Man Magazine's Homer Jacobs and Rusty Burson for an exclusive interview concerning A&M's exit from the Big 12 and move to the Southeastern Conference:

Tons of great stuff in there. All about the machinations of Texas, the ineffectiveness of the other schools, and some insight into the meetings held prior to Nebraska's escape to the Fields of Glory.

...and you thought the upwards of 22 team MountainConferenceWestUSA was unwieldy!

Big East, MWC, C-USA considering super conference?

One of the reasons the Big East may be holding off on any expansion announcements about potential new members is that it is considering a plan that would create a nation-wide football conference incorporating between 28 and 32 teams in four divisions from Conference USA, the Mountain West Conference as well as the Big East.

According to sources from those conferences, the plan was devised as a way that the Big East could ensure its place as one of the six conferences receiving automatic BCS bids.

The document, which was obtained by The Globe, reveals an alternative plan which would help the Big East maintain its AQ status -- automatic qualification -- but also provide access to the Mountain West and Conference USA, who hope to gain such status.

Under the plan, Super Conference would consist of four divisions: West, Mountain, Central and the Big East.

In the 32-team format, the West Division would consist of Boise State, Hawaii, UNLV, Nevada, Fresno State, San Diego State, Utah State and San Jose State.

The Mountain Division would consist of Air Force, Wyoming, Colorado State, New Mexico, UTEP, SMU, Tulsa and Houston.

The Central Division would consist of Marshall, Memphis, Southern Mississippi, Tulane, UAB, Rice, Temple and Louisiana Tech.

And the Big East Division would consist of Louisville, UConn, Rutgers, Cincinnati, South Florida, Central Florida, East Carolina and Navy.

West Virginia is not included in this plan, with the assumption being the Mountaineers would be headed to the Big 12 to replace Missouri which will presumably wind up in the SEC along with Texas A&M.

The scaled down version of 28 teams would not include San Jose State in the West, move Houston from the Mountain to the Central Division, eliminate Temple and Louisiana Tech from the Central Division and not include Navy in the Big East division.

Good plan. Combine shit with even more shit and call it a BCS Conference.
