The Big XII is, again, hedging its bets.In case Missouri leaves for the SEC, which seems imminent, the conference is ready to offer a place to West Virginia, currently of the Big East, which would then have like five football programs left.
What I don't get is why isn't the Big XII waiting for Mizzou to leave? Why not just invite West Virginia? Why wait? Why react when you could be proactive?
It doesn't make any sense to me and I can't find any real logic as to why these conferences are sort of biding their time, because the Big XII is not alone, altough the Big XII should be entirely more desperate than the Big Ten, Pac 10 or SEC.
The Big XII should not only go ahead and invite these teams, but they should be inviting a lot of them. What's so scary about 14 or 16 teams? Is this all going back to the revenue sharing bullshit? Frankly, if that's still in the way, then put a bullet in the back of this dumb conference's head because it cooked.
And don't think that schools like Kansas State, Kansas and Baylor are going to wait around. If either get a good enough chance to jump ship, they will. And the way all three schools play football and basketball, don't count it out.
To the college football weekend:
Texas Tech 41, Oklahoma 38
I checked in on this game and saw that Tech was up 21-7. I looked at the clock: Midway through second quarter. By half, it was 24-7. No problem. Oklahoma will turn it on in the second half. No big deal.
I wasn't altogether wrong. Oklahoma outscored Tech 31-17. It wasn't enough. Tech with arguably its biggest win of the past 15 years considering this was at Norman. Those wins several years ago, especially against Texas, was in Lubbock. Going to Norman -- where Tech's routinely gotten its ass handed to them -- is a huge boon. With the shape of things, this was as even of a game as you could possible imagine. Yes, OU struggled on third down, but so did Tech. What killed the Sooners were the two turnovers, whilst the Red Raiders had none. Turnover battle wins games.
Kansas State 59, Kansas 21
Kansas State is a complete team. They play defense and run one of the most efficient, unsuperstar offense in the nation. Wins against Baylor, Texas Tech and Miami are looking better and better.
Oklahoma State 45, Missouri 24
Remember last Friday when I said the Pokes should be wary of a feisty Tiger team on the road? And that Mizzou should be able to stop Oklahoma State's run offense? Nevermind. Not only did Okie State crush Mizzou, but they decided to mess around and collect 195 yards on 31 carries, including a 10-yard average from Joe Randle.
Texas A&M 33, Iowa State 17
Some are saying A&M's the best two-loss team in the nation. No idea what that means. Christine Michael and Cy Gray combined for and insane 39 carries and 267 yards rushing.
Southern Mississippi 27, SMU 3
By far the most disappointing loss of the weekend. SMU's offense fell completely flat. Beyond flat. It sunk.
TCU 69, New Mexico 0
TCU is 5-2 and just tanned the hide of New Mexico. Yet, they still can't get no stinkin' respect.
North Texas 38, Louisiana-Monroe 21
Derek Thompson had his best game as a member of the Mean Green and Lance Dunbar was a horse in the run game. North Texas is 3-5. Getting bowl eligible would be huge.
SFA 57, Nicholls State 21
I'd feel something if Nicholls State wasn't one of the worst teams in the nation.
