Believe you me if it turns out OU put out feelers and was rejected by the Big 10 I’ll admit it. I’m just not willing to take the word of some random poster on an internet message board.

OU and Texas reach out to SEC

I found this read very interesting, a lot in there about the history of the ‘ol SWC. When the Razorbacks bolted to the SEC in 1990 sounds like AD Frank Broyles got some bad intel at the time…
Jack Crowe, Arkansas coach in 1990-92
Crowe: I was told that Texas and Texas A&M were coming with us, along with Florida State. [SEC commissioner] Roy Kramer was going for the whole enchilada now. He was going for all the television markets because that's all it was about. It was about television. It was about going to get the TV contract and sharing the revenue.

'I don't wish either of them well': The demise of the Southwest Conference, 25 years later
Twenty-five years ago, the Southwest Conference played its last game. But the SWC will never be forgotten, thanks to its innovative offenses, penchant for scandal and pettiness to the very end.
What’s funny and ironic is him expecting you to admit when you’re wrong when I’ve never seen a mea culpa from him. His evaluations of our team, coaching, and a certain quarterbacks play have proven that his opinion of himself are highly overrated. It’s just sad that good posters that did know what they were talking about let him get under their skin.
You continue to be so focused on this. Instead of actually discussing topics, you continue to come back to this. It's a little weird.
I just don’t like it when a man calls another man sweetheart. Those words typically mean we’re throwing hands.

Understood, pumpkin
I agree with a lot of his ideas on expansion. I understand where he’s coming from. I’ve read a lot of the same stories and tweets. However there’s a lot of big time writers like Dennis Dodd saying it’s not happening the way Others are saying. It’s a wait and see thing. I don’t for a second actually believe the BIG turned down Oklahoma. If that actually happened out conference deserves to be dissolved and we can go play in the Mountain West. The SEC makes bug moves. The BUG adds Rutgers and Maryland. I love Nebraska but I honestly hate the BIG and have since I could walk. I don’t like a single BIG school other than my Huskers.
I’m throwing hands with you at a tailgate now.

Anyone who thinks this is all that will happen is incredibly naive (or Kevin Warren). The SEC is not done expanding, the ACC is doing whatever they can to keep their conference together and looking to expand, the Big 10 is (probably) looking to expand, the Big 12 knows they are done, and the Pac 12 is wondering what to do next. At this point, it's not a matter of things changing or not, it's a matter of how much.
Maybe ask your posse why they feel the need to attack anyone that doesn’t agree with their opinion. Sorry I’m not going to agree with everything the SD ball coach regurgitates as fact. Funny how he ran off who many thought was one of the best posters on here with the same tactics.
I'm sorry your feelings were hurt.
Oh I agree completely. I enjoy the rumor mill. I enjoy a lot of MABC’s write ups. I enjoyed a lot of ***’s write ups. Both brought something I can’t to this board. I will snap back though when a poster I like gets messed with. I’m just here making as many people mad as possible. It’s why I actually enjoy hot topics more.
