re: Big 12(texas10) really was hurt by the moves, in behind the scenes posturing

Define "better".

More national spotlight, big bowl bids, big bowl wins, money, championships, heismans etc...

I'm not at all saying A&M can't have a better season every once in a while. But collectively they will never surpass OU in Program prestige.

national spotlight comes from winning, the rest of that stuff is past history. who cares.

[quote But collectively they will never surpass OU in Program prestige[/quote]

and that's relevant how?

That's the whole point you're arguing with me about

No, you are the one in the dick measuring contest. Who cares who has the "better" program, especially historically. OU has one of the top 3-4 all time programs, using that as some kind of measuring stick is pretty stupid. The most important aspects of building a top notch FB program are $$$$ and access to top talent. A&M has that, now they need to get the other things in line, the most important of which is winning.

any Mizzou fan denying this is in serious denial

Just like any WVU fan denying their football programs "success" are tied to playing in a second tier conference that should not be an AQ conference.

It all good. Your responses are still hilarious.

You will have to "Maintain" your FL pipeline moving to the Big 12. Those are some pretty hefty distances to your road games bud. I don't give a frick about this year, we are talking in years to come.

It will now be enjoyable watching your program settle into its spot of mediocrity where it rightfully belongs.

WVU was passed over by two BCS conferences during expansion.

You go ahead and continue to play the victim card, I will continue to laugh.

if you knew anything about WVU football you would know it was successful prior to the BE

getting FL to morgantown has never been a problem and won't change keep the wishful thinking

this is what its all about. You wish a program that has been better than yours to sink down to your level. We wont be sinking anywhere and will be just fine while you are going from mediocre to a doormat

I jumped in speaking in generalities. A&M was a head of OU in the 90's, so its not out of the question. It would depend on who OU hires after Stoops. I would think OU will continue on as top program, but we really don't know. I wouldn't be worried about it if i was you either. the 2 are not mutually exclusive, both OU and A&M could have top 10 teams for several years going forward.

One has to look no further than Nebraska to see an example of how conference expansion and those dynamics influenced a once national power turning them into a middle tier program.

Really man?

Thats all you "got"?

I never had one bad thought about WVU until its fan base came flying down from their stills in the hills to start bagging on Mizzou this last year.

You all reap what you sow.

The fact you REFUSE to admit, what EVERYONE else in the country already knows, that the Big East dynamic has been an integral part of your programs success proves with out a doubt you're delusional and not to be taken seriously.

You and your fan base wreek of jelousy and sour grapes during this whole realignment proccess. Know one but the desperate Big 12 wanted your program. It stings, but its true.

So yea, after this year and all the BS, I can wait to see you struggle.

you are proving how clueless you are Nebraska is not a middle tier program , yes they had some down years due to dumb moves by their AD with coaching hire. They still played in a BCS championship game even though they got crushed

---

Wow man.

I dont know what to say to you.

Are you really that dumb? Honestly? THey are a not an elite program anymore.

You're a fricking joke.

A few down years doesn't mean nebraska is no long a top tier football program

Nebraska is a different case. They don't really have a home recruiting base and rely on national recruits. OU does get a lot of Texas guys, but it borders Texas and parts of N Texas are closer to OU than either A&M or UT. Most of their players are Texas/Ok kids. As long as they have a good coach and recruit well, OU should be fine.

A bigger reason for NUs fall was firing Solich, not conference realignment.
