The Texas Conference - Incorporated 2012

[Lott's Bandana]

Why don't these cultish fingersymbol-loving agitators just pull it all together and create an intra-state conference?

Bring aTm back and create the Texas Conference (or insert name here):

Texas
Baylor
SMU
Houston
Texas Tech
A&M
TCU
Rice
UTSA
North Texas

Whorn gets to be the big kahuna, aTm might actually be competitive and Baylor preserves it's man-crush on other sweaty Texans.

Add the Fighting Frans of texass st & UTEP so they can have the texass xii with LBJ & GWB divisions and play for the President's Spittoon

Wasn't that what the Southwest conference was after Arkansas left?

Precisely.

(except the ones that weren't)

OU figured out the folly of dealing with all this after 4 years, in 1919.

[NormanPride]

Then we can sell the state to Mexico or China or something and pay off our debts without worry of football ramifications!

A&M is not coming back to the Big 12 or a conference with Texas, they feel like they finally are getting away from an abusive relative.

[SoonerMom2]

Cannot believe the bottom feeders in football are telling A&M they cannot leave until OU commits to the Big 12. Why hold a school hostage that wants to leave?

We should have left for the SEC with A&M and been done with it.

I'd go ahead and add Sul Ross and Howard Payne...but that's just me.

Prairie View A&M......then they have an Aggie team that UT can beat consistently.

You only have ten teams. Why not add UTEP and Texas State, then you can have a Championship game at Jerry World which "*" will win every year. When "*" does not win every year, they will call the NCAA and this conference will melt down just like the SWC and Big 12. Can there ever be a "stable" conference with "*"? Doubtful.

Run away aggies, run away! Get the heck away from the psyhcopathic longhorns. They want to control everything ----- maybe even Rick Perry's campaign. Now their trying to hold onto OU to keep the LHN. They even have the Pokes buying into their scheme.
I want the opportunity to play in the rose bowl! I want four 16 team conferences so we can get a final 4 in football. I want the horns to go to the Big ten so they have to compete in the frozen tundra!
