Mizzou has been in the B12 North which is as weak or weaker than the BE.
Attendance of 45K was against mighty Bowling Green, it was 42 degrees and poured rain the entire game.
Mizzou is not even in the game when it comes to on the field results in FB and BB - it would be like comparing LSU to Arky or somethin like that.
WVU has played for undisputed MNC in Jan 1989, undefeated season in 1993, BCS wins in Jan 2006 and Jan 2008 against SEC and B12 Champs UGA and OU. NCAA tourney 7 of the last 8 years, one Final Four, and Elite 8 and 2 Sweet 16 and BE tourney champs in 2010. (and NIT champs the yr we didn't make the dance)
Misery - stick that in your pipe and smoke it hard boys.

Yes - pledging their undying loyalty to the new, improved B12 - that's what I am hearing.
Unless something changes quite a bit, they don't have the votes.

I believe the plug may have been pulled on Mizzou. Slive and the TV suits want Mizzou bad - not because they are worth a crap at FB - that doesn't matter. It doesn't even matter than no one would watch Mizzou on TV - they wouldn't. The whole issue is this: How many cable subscriber households can we add the sports package, which includes the coming SEC network, along with other sports stations, for $7.99 a month.
Yep - this is what it's come down to boys - to hell with whether the teams suk, or the fans even care - Better take Mizzou before Slive and the suits want to add Temple, FIU or CCNY (think of all those NYC cable packages!!! $$$!!)

If Texas and OU sign off on the 6 year commitment of TV revenue - they aren't going anywhere. I don't know why OU and OSU aren't interested in the SEC and why they did not explore that option - makes no sense to me.
I will say, regardless of what schools they choose to add, B12 will retain their BCS bid for 6 years, and in my opinion, they also put a screeching 6 year halt to country-wide 16 team super conferences. One of either the ACC or SEC could go to 16, but as long as the B12 exists, the Pac12 and B1G are boxed in - no quality programs to choose from to go to 16.

At no point in my post did I say Texas should share their profits from their network. Where the hell did you get that from?
My mistake - late and groggy - but not really knowing the situation being away from all that, other than using their network for recruiting advantages, why is there so much hate over the LHN, or is it really just hate of UTx in general?

At this point, however, all it seems like is Texas is going to do absolutely everything in their power to keep their network
Well, it is their network, so why would/should they share any profits from it. OU has every right to start their own network as it's a free country. Saying Tx should share these proceeds to the less attractive members is like saying the SEC should share their profits with Conf USA. I heard today, however, that Tx has agreed that the LHN will not show any HS games or HS highlights.
well, if they were southern sympathizers, I guess they were fair weather fans, much like UK football fans are today, because they sure didn't put up any fight, and changed allegiance as soon as the sky turned gray.

you aren't missing a damn thing. the eggheads in academia need to feel they are "in association" with people that are as "smart" as them. it is snobbery from people that suck off us taxpayers and have never held a real job in their life. before you folks call me ignorant, etc, i've known, on a personal basis several "professors and higher up college academia adm. higher ups" and i stick by my statements. i do have an undergraduate degree; i'm just callin' 'em like i see 'em. if harvard applied to the SEC, the eggheads would be beside themselves because for some strange reason they would now think they would be elevated intellectually.

Kentucky was hardly "loyal". One of the stars on the Confederate battle flag is for Kentucky. We had a representative on the Confederate Congress. We were a member of the CSA, we just never got around to leaving the Union. Louisville, Lexington, and all points west were pro Confederacy. The only pro Union areas were in eastern KY near WV.
You should know your state's history better than that. KY was a Union state with the exception of a few counties in extreme southwestern Ky. The "secession" govt of KY was in Bowling Green, near the TN border, and went south to TN a year after the war started, and that was that. All major cities in KY such as Lexington/Louisville/No Ky were Yankee - the whole war. This explains why the McCoy's were Yankees and the Hatfields Confederates.

WVU fans would be best served to not bring anything up about it. Your whole existence as a state is based upon being pro Union. Not that it has any real bearing today, but just saying.
And KY was a loyal Union state as well.
Abe Lincoln forced the "secession" from Virginia with northern sympathizers and his troops - primarily because he didn't want to lose the vital east/west B&O railroad - so here we are. BTW - Virginia never recognized the yankee imposed "government" of WV during the war - WV was still part of Virginia and "west" Virginians who fought for the south were part of the army of Virginia.
The SEC hates us, ESPN hates us - even Abe Lincoln hates us :lol:

There is a southern history here that is largly suppressed now.
Same with WV as to border state, with the exception that 2/3 of the population of WV is in the latitude at and south of Charleston WV - Lexington KY, and is appalachian/southern in culture, always has been, and hasn't been watered down by Yankee transplants. Most of Missouri's population, on the other hand, are yankee midwesterners. Much of the southern half of WV remained in confederate hands for much of the war. Devil Anse Hatfield (WV) was a confederate, while the McCoy's (KY) were yankees

Article is pretty much total BS. No, we don't wear slacks and ties and sundresses, and snack on wine and cheese. WV ain't the ACC. I won't even argue that this MSU fan saw a few characters as he describes - but these same slobs are also seen in Starkvegas, Tuscaloosa, Baton Rouge, etc., and most mis-behaved fans are the guidos from Jersey who weren't smart enough to get in Rutgers. :lol:
