tu…and we are a close 2nd

If you're a college team and still have a "homecoming game", you're gay.

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.

at this point our biggest rival is whatever else it is that we need to do to get invited to the B1G.

There's nothing about the Big 12 that I like as far as football is concerned. Basketball? Yeah it is a monster conference. Football? It's a placeholder.

Tech's biggest hurdle with the B1G is their haughty hangup over academic ratings and status. Most schools in that conference are AAU and in the Top 100. This is not a jab at Tech, but more of an understanding of their "prestige factor" and mystique. Besides, the girls at Tech are far too good looking for the Midwest.
