Then it seems like UT doesn't gain anything by going to the Big 10 unless they earn less in research money than the average Big 10 school, which I think is probably unlikely. By going to any other conference, they get to keep their money.


The Big 10 splits a really big pot. Penn State was behind us in research money before they joined the Big 10, now they are very far ahead of us.
Well they are tied together in the Big 10. CIC. How it works for other conferences, I have no idea.
I really wouldn't mind joining the SEC except for that vague general "feeling" about the conference. Rationally it is a great fit. It'd make for fun football, plenty of great baseball, and we could just as easily implode in basketball in the SEC as we could in the Big 12.

I was very resistant to the idea before, but there are not too many logical reasons not to join. As to whether we could handle the SEC, I'd feel the same as going anywhere else. The Big 12 South was always a tough division, even if the Big 12 it self wasn't that tough.

Um. I don't think so. My memory chip has a couple of gaps in it but I believe that last year was the first time Texass beat Zero U in a while.


More than a couple gaps. Mack beat OU 16-13 in 2009, 45-35 in 2008, 28-10 in 2006, 45-12 in 2005.


Hmm, that didn't work. I don't know how to transliterate the phrase.

I'm surprised a Tiger/Russian would think drinking a problem.
I'd say Texas is to college baseball what Texas is to college football, but I'm biased. There is no reason to leave LSU baseball, I'd be shocked if it happened. Texas is pretty happy with our guy right now anyways :cheers:
