    Re: Houston wants into the Big XII

    I want to be clear that I have NO interest in bringing in Houston, but they did make a point or two about the possibility.

    The truth is we wasted time when there were some decent options for expansion, and we're left with finding the "best of the worst". It doesn't sound like the conference is planning any near term expansion, so it doesn't really matter much anyway.

    How and why would we have stopped them?
    Put a lid on it! Kiss it goodbye. We gave it away, and apparently thought it made sense to do so.

    Likely orange aggy would be included, and I'm not aware of any other conference wanting them.

    That is a huge anchor around our necks, and if we allow it to stay it will drown us.

    Re: Houston wants into the Big XII

    hey look at the bright side...

    we'd get 2 more bb wins. Good grief I was watching Houston and Cinnci in bball last night...nothing else on...and they are absolutely horrible. They had like 12 fans in the building. This is the 2nd time I've seen them on TV. KS must be hatin life.
    How do you know if you get there, if you don't know where you are going?..oh and I had 1,713 post on the "other board"..I hate being a rookie again!

    Re: Houston wants into the Big XII

    It sounds like the PTB in Texas are trying to resurrect the SWC in the form of the Big 12. We really soiled the sheets by not bolting when we had the chance.

    We need out ASAP, and somehow prevent little brother tagging along.

    You're ready for Baylor to bolt, or OU, or both?

    No. That's a horrible idea. I'd like to see us go to the ACC.

    Probably so, considering the fact that what he thought was his best player when he took the job is now putting the ball in the hoop of his old playground.

    We want nothing of Houston and Tillman Fertitta... He is a gaudy rich guy who is all about making money. He Ruined the Kemah boardwalk and is ruining Galveston, of course IMO. Kemah boardwalk used to be a sleepy gulf coast hangout with great LOCAL restaurants. He came in, got rid of the locals, put in his chains and then built rollercoasters and trains. The coaster comes within 10 feet of a house that has been there for decades. How would you like the track next to your window??? He didn't care. He is about taking over every money producing restaurant in Galveston. We don't need him or Houston.
    Everything progressives do is aimed at weakening democracy, capitalism and the social and cultural institutions that support those things...... They are about subjugating people and being a ruling class.
