Big 12 name change

[bigfatjerk]

I'm sure this thread was here over the summer just like it was on the other board which will go unnamed :cough OUI, OUI :cough.

Anyway now it seems they are really looking into a name change for the conference.


The commissioners also discussed the year's realignment drama at length. Beebe said the Big 12 has hired a firm to look into adopting a new name for a league that will have 10 members. He said the smaller number will allow the league to create the relationships and the rivalries that the older leagues such as the ACC and Big Ten developed before they expanded to 12 members.

So what's your name for the conference?

Here's some I got off the top of my head.

New Southwest Conference

Longhorn Athletic Conference

The Little 10

[thecynic]

the irrelevant 10

[Fugue]

Who are Those Other 9 *******s with OU?

[Collier11]

The little 9 + 1

[Soonerntxs]

One Champ and her 9 Betches!

[Boomer_Sooner_sax]

OU's World and Everyone Else Who Plays In It, or OWEEWPII for short.

[SpankyNek]

I like "The Ten"

[OUEngr1990]

OU and the 9 dwarfs :D

[soonerboy_odanorth]

With Bebee handling it, I'm sure he has put this question in the capable hands of a "firm" that has no concept of the various cultures of the schools involved, with the added bonus of cluelessness regarding the rich histories.

Get ready for them to gay it up with The Heartland 10 Conference.

*retch*

[SicEmBaylor]

The Midwest-10.

[OUEngr1990]

They should be like prince and call it:

"The conference formerly known as the big 12"

Or just shorten it to: "The Conference" :D

[SoonerBorn]

I hope the new conference name doesn't contain a number at all, or uses "X" as a letter rather than a roman numeral. ("Conference X" for example, though I don't like that name.)

In an ideal world you don't have to change the name of your conference just because you add or drop a team.

[SoonerMarkVA]

Who are Those Other 9 *******s with OU?

We have a winner! ROTFL

[Fraggle145]

They should leave the number out of the name, so there is no need to change the name every time some team joins or when a team leaves.

[Jmorales22]

If we ever have a championship game again we can call it the Bob Stoops invitational...

[RedstickSooner]

Let's kick two teams out, and be the Big 8.
