...for example, to the effect that that WVU is better than Mizzou in most every way, I don't see how or why Mizzou could ever stay in that dysfunctional conference at this point.

Exactly! When A&M went to Dan Beebe with complaints that the Longhorn Network wanted to show high school games, which wasn't part of what everyone had agreed to, he told us that we were easily replaceable. Beebe's gone but the toxic nature of the Big 12 hasn't changed.

Exactly.Nebraska and Colorado left and according to the Big 12 they were a better conference at 10 then when those two were there.

When Texas A&M left they made them the villain in public and begged them to stay behind the scenes. Then said we're better without them because TCU is better. Now it's MU's turn to be the villain and castrated by the conference.

Things have changed on the surface of the Big 12 but things have remained the same under it.

running off to the SEC

I still find it humorous how those in Austin and the rest of the bevo 9-10 are attempting to cast A&M and now Mizzou's move to the SEC as somehow running away from the power of the b12.

tu's last 8 games in the b12 1-7

Oct. 23, 2010 - Iowa St. 21-28 L
Oct. 30, 2010 - Baylor 22-30 L
Nov. 6, 2010 - Kansas St. 14-39 L
Nov. 13, 2010 - Oklahoma St. 16-33 L
Nov. 25, 2010 - Texas A&M 17-24 L
Oct. 1, 2011 - Iowa State 37-14 W
Oct. 8, 2011 - Oklahoma 17-55 L
Oct. 15, 2011 - Oklahoma St. 26-38 L

A&M's last 9 games in the b12 8-1

Is this true?
If it is, why didn't A&M jam this up the media's arse when they crucified you guys for leaving?
