Texas & Texas A&M to B10?
So, this is "Breaking News"/Front Page in Kansas City:
http://www.kctv5.com/sports/23860558/detail.html
"High level sources in multiple conferences say that Texas and Texas A&M are looking to move to the Big Ten Conference and are in talks to join the conference, while the University of Oklahoma is planning on petitioning the SEC to become a member of its conference."
This website has been confirmed to be fake.
some breathtaking lengths if this is fake. Drop down menus on their main page for news, weather, sports, jobs, health, lifestyle, traffic ... content for all.
Google KCTV5 and you will find that they have both a twitter and facebook account as well as a wikepdia page. That would be an extremely elaborate hoax....... if it was a hoax.
The report may be bogus but it is pretty apparent that that website is for real.
meaning they would've had to get a FAKE reporter and interview a FAKE member of the FAKE University of Missouri Board of Curators who refuses to discuss this FAKE story about conference expansion
You want a reporter? I can get you a reporter, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don't wanna know about it, believe me. Hell, I can get you a reporter by 3 o'clock this afternoon... with nail polish. These fucking amateurs...
could you please keep your voice down? this is a family blog
For your information, the Supreme Court has roundly rejected prior restraint.
i was only doing the waitress' line...
that's his response to the waitress
we needed a The Dude!
I'm staying, I'm finishing my coffee
Love the Big Lebowski references man! I am watching that movie as I read this blog :)
The University of Missouri is a fake university.
USN&WR rankings are fake as well?
Tier-2.
Orange Bloods and Houston radio are saying it according to posters on a previous thread where this was linked.
I'm pretty sure that this is an actual website for channel 5 in Kansas City. Where is this confirmation?
Where has it been confirmed that this site is fake? Sources?
probably fake authorities
you mean i can't click to that slideshow about "Furry Faces at the World Beard Championships" at the homepage?
WHY MUST THE INTERNET BE SO CRUEL???!?!
This website is very much legit. I also just watched the news on my television, and my eyes didn't lie as I watched them do an entire report on it (with more to come later).
It'd be one hell of an elaborate hoax because it isn't. It's a CBS affiliate in Kansas City. They've also been reporting from Columbia, MO (Mizzou) where panic is ensuing.
Conference USA with Iowa St and Kansas St?
Interesting.
It was just on Rivals Radio on Sirius too, with OK and OK St. going to the SEC.
That's just creepy.
QUAD! START THE REACTOR, QUAD!
*Ahem*
"Quaid", not "Quad".
Total Recall remake is in the works........
/Austrian accent
However, I just got home from a stinking trade show and I'm completely confused about which universities are saying that to which conferences.
Zzzzzzzzzzz
Zzzzzzzzzzz
Zzzzzzzzzzz
What no picture of the three breasted beauty?
You know one of them was paper-mâché, right?
Two of them were real.
Good response. Also "Oh, jeez, can I change my answer? Of course I know it's paper! I don't care! What's wrong with you?" would have been perfectly acceptable.
Two out of three ain't bad...
umm, thanks meatload!
i like this scenario if it is true.
leave two spots left for ND and ?
unfortunately it is likely another attempt by a media source to gain exposure, especially since they aren't naming any names.
But, i'd be a happy Winnebago....
Ship 'em off to the P10 with that other Midwest school we don't want, MO. We can stick at 14 if we have TX and NE.
Well, if the other reports are true, then ND and Mizzou.
The Big 10 is going to very tough ... I would expect ND to jump in here with Neb giving us 16 teams and doesn't give us 6 of the top 10 all time in wins?Holy Jeebus rumors are flying around like crazy.
How crazy would it be to have a schedule with Texas, Penn St, ND, Nebraska and Wisky and Iowa on it plus OSU and Lil bro? Oh and throw in Texas AM as well....MAN
If this were to happen, I wonder if the Big Ten would change their perspective on a cfb playoff. A conference like this would be an absolute meatgrinder, and it's hard to imagine a team going through unscathed.
If this were to happen, they should just crown the Big Ten champ as the National Champ. Same difference at that point.
I feel like this is the third thread I have seen this link in. Have the others been deleted? I know one was discussed in the "OSU to Pac-10" thread.
I don't think they were deleted, but
http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/more-expansion-rumors
That is 6 threads down. It has also been posted in just about every other expansion thread today.
This is still on the front page.
I don't like it and hope it's not true. Call me old fashioned but at least Nebraska, Missouri, Pitt, and ND have relative geographic and other ties the Big 10. Let the Pac-10 deal with the travel costs and other planning issues of a 16 team conference that is so spread out.
I don't want UT! yes, they are a huge power and big market but they wine and complain until they get there way, because of them they broke up the OU vs.NE rivalry.
I like wine.
NIce I just deleted a thread because it was already posted. Its even on the main page. Not that hard to find.
Get us playing in Texas and we will recruit better than we are now. Texas should be scare of having Big ten schools roaming around They will also have a hard time playing up north late in the season.
