Oklahoma State would make the most sense…so many similarities, we call them Xerox U because they have copied so many of our traditions. Similar institutions is so many ways.
But the brain trust that is the new Big12 decided not to let that happen. It should have been given protected rivalry status like they did with a few others, ensuring we would play each other each year, but no. We were given no protected rivalry.
So dumb and short-sighted by the Big12. You absolutely must have rivalries in a conference. It generates interest, media buzz, and $$$.
Baylor would have been choice 1B. This year marked the end of the longest streak of consecutive years playing each other…the longest streak for either team for any opponent. And the Big12 ended it. So damn dumb. Just absolutely absurdly dumb.
