Re: Saving The Big XII...
I knew it was trash when Colorado was referenced as a "traditional power" in the Big XII. Garbage article.

Re: Saving The Big XII...
lol it took a freak injury to the QB (and Texas' entire offense) and playing against a freshman that was at his HS prom 6 months previous to improve to 1-7 against Texas congrats

Re: Saving The Big XII...
Nope, all it took was Bama being the superior team. I didn't know Colt played D. How was that #1 run defense looking after HTWMI and Trent ran roughshod over it?PS: You guys are great.

Re: Saving The Big XII...
lol yea sure Colt being injured on a freak play had nothing to do with the game. McCoy was the entire Texas offense obviously. His backup was a true freshman and had never had a meaningful snap in CFB. If the offense cant keep possession, the defense is at quite a disadvantage.
anyway, Bama was the superior team. That is correct.Comment

Re: Saving The Big XII...
HOUSTON -- About two dozen Texas lawmakers are supporting efforts to get Houston admitted to the Big 12 Conference.
State Reps. Garnet Coleman and Bill Callegari, both from the Houston area, co-wrote a letter Thursday asking Big 12 officials to consider adding the university to the conference.
"UH is the third largest university in Texas, and is on track to rank among the top research universities in this state," the letter says. "Despite UH's local and statewide prominence, the university does not belong to a strong BCS conference such as the Big 12. The Cougars, the city of Houston, and the state of Texas deserve better."
Houston is a member of Conference USA and was a member of the Southwest Conference until 1995.
Conference USA officials did not immediately respond Thursday to messages left by the Associated Press. Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe was not available to comment.
The Big 12 is set to lose two schools after Nebraska committed to the Big Ten and Colorado to the Pac-10. Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe has said the league has no plans to add any teams from within its five-state area, which includes Texas.
Coleman said he is not deterred by Beebe's stance.
"I don't quit," Coleman said. "I don't start something I'm not going to finish. If I didn't think this was a worthy endeavor, I wouldn't have started it. This is the beginning of this effort, not the end."

Re: Saving The Big XII...
While I would love to see this happen, we aren't going to be joining the "Conference formerly known as the Big XII" any time soon. Let's be honest here: no one currently in the conference has any interest in seeing a BCS team in either Houston or DFW. Those cities represent two of the most fertile recruiting areas in the country. Why would any Big XII schools want to have a BCS program in those markets competing for talent?HOUSTON -- About two dozen Texas lawmakers are supporting efforts to get Houston admitted to the Big 12 Conference.

Re: Saving The Big XII...
I posted it just for you coog
It might be a longshot but it's possible. Stranger things have certainly happened. I for one hope it happens. It would be sweet.
but if UH doesnt join the Big 12, they should still think about trying to get out of CUSA and getting into the MWC imo. What do you think?Comment

Re: Saving The Big XII...
Tommy Tuberville is already saying he doesn't think the 10 team Big XII will last long because of the disparity in revenue.
