Calling yourself the Big 12 with 10 teams is about the most idiotic thing in sports especially now that the MLB all star game no longer decides home field advantage in the World Series.

What about having 14 teams and calling yourself the BIG 10?

And the Big 10 calling themselves that with 14 teams. Math. They can does it.

You jerk...

Agreed. Bad move by Butch and Co. not to recruit at least one freshman DT last year.

That's why Butch recruits the way he does. Didn't quite do that with DT's last year. But it's funny that people complain about taking guys early and then others complain when he misses late and left without much.

Its still better to be over than under especially using the adjective "Big" in your conference title.

I agree. They are the "made for TV" conference. Cannot be taken seriously as they are.

Lol. Even more reason they are a horrible conference. Lets not also forget that they don't even have their own network while Univ of Texas has the Longhorn Network.. which by the way has lost over $50 million in its first 5 years.

Unreal...We need two JUCO DTs

Nobody saw this one coming. I partially enjoy how Tejas thinks they are so big and then they go and make dumb decisions like this.

Questionable on the field too. I was listening to sports talk in Nashville yesterday and they were talking about Kiffin. A caller on the show said him and his son were at field level for warmups for the Bama-UT game and Kiffin was on the field acting like a clown. As a joke he threw a ball at one of the equipment managers for Bama and hit him square in the side of the head. The manager was furious and Kiffin laughed it off and didn't even apologize. The guy just can't be serious enough, long enough to be a competent HC in my opinion.

Once a knucklehead, always a knucklehead.

Kongbo?!? maybe not, but he's 6'6" 270 on the roster. Wonder if that interception helps him adapt or nah...

Bain is listed at 6'5" 290.

Mosley? Listed at 6'4" 340. He needs to find a home.

 

[WarMachine]

Butcher needs weight badly if he's going to move inside. He's listed at 257 lbs.

Catbone, I think someone should take the photo in your avi and make one like this:

Pretty sure Orlando will be dipping to Texas so it won't matter too much.

 

[Dust10]

[Maxwell]

Unreal...We probably need two JUCO DTs

I agree. Two and another freshman to redshirt.

Lets go to 4 power conferences instead of 5 since there are only 4 playoff spots. Less hurt feelings if someone doesn't get in. They could have 18 teams and call themselves the Big Ten x 2.
