PAC 10 EXPANSION: HEY GUYS WE BROUGHT CHIPS HAHAHAHA

LOL GET IT: Colorado butts in and accepts their Pac-10 invitation early, securing a spot in either the two team (Colorado, Utah) expansion scenario or in the big MEGAZORDAFOOTBALLASAURUS conference. They finally find a conference that understands their openly relaxed sexual mores, marijuana use, and occasional therapeutic bouts of public nudity. Additionally, a new conference television contract may give Colorado the means to eventually fire Dan Hawkins. Dan Hawkins makes queasy smile.
At this point, it really is just a matter of who makes the next move. The Big 12 still could be salvaged, an effort occurring right now between Texas and Texas A&M, the only two schools that matter at this point no matter how many political bodies Baylor's legislative allies vow to unearth. Oh, and Texas A&M has been talking to the SEC for months, because we're really just interested in what you have to offer, Aggies. Never mind us staring directly at the spot where the midseam disappears up the great, tantalizing divide of Texas' bodacious ass; we're here to talk to you, baby.

Our star, Heisman-potential candidate was literally yesterday kicked off the team for, among other things, being caught with pot. We will take that trophy, and we will quite likely attempt to smoke it.

Big XII could still be salvaged if they try hard enough
they can always go after someone like SMU or TCU, Boise, etc.
Hard to imagine teams like Mizzou or Kansas or K state not being in a big conference simply because of their basketball success.
The various all-knowing Chip Brown Twitter rumors were that the Big 12 would look to BYU and Air Force, instead of SMU, TCU or Boise.

I could see that but to me
the obvious way would be push the Oklahoma’s into the north and add TCU and Houston.
BYU and TCU would be the best combo but then you have to split up the Oklahoma schools (or put BYU in the south)
I doubt it
Sucks to be kansas and their new position as the memphis of the mountain west. Thats what they get for being a basketball school.

So....
Anyone want to give current odds on the following:
1. Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma and T. Boone U. joining the SEC?
2. The state of Kansas changing its name to “Missouri” in the hopes that, well, you know.
3. Total proton reversal should the Big 12 South sans Baylor join the PAC 10, then the unavoidable spectacle of the Aggie band playing in Berkeley.
4. Mitch Albom and/or Mike Lupica being outraged at all the money in all of this on Sunday’s “Sports Reporters”.
OT Re: Albom/Lupica
Since they are closing the ESPNZones, do they move Sports Reporters to an Applebee’s? Will we notice?
Managing Editor/Chief Lackey-And The Valley Shook
Probably not
They held a similar Blazers post-game show in a sports bar which closed this year. I think it improved after they moved it.

They weren't stone drunk during the show
Which although hilarious for a while got old quickly. Also this man (Dwight Jaynes) was on it. He doesn’t look good drunk:
All the folks used to have drinks lined up in front of them like a conveyor belt.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Who would be...
Crossing the streams? Besides Colorado & Nebraska which have officially pissed all over the Big 12.
1. Texas makes more sense anywhere else. The others wouldn’t shock me, but Texas will be in the Pac-10+ or the Big Integer.
2. Won’t happen, the Big Ten doesn’t seem to want Missouri either.
3. Not sure about total protonic reversal, but lots of YOUR HEAD ASPLODE.
4. 99.999% chance of this happening.

Sneaky Pete: "I don’t have to justify shit, I’m in the NFL."
Reggie: "I don’t either. I’m in the NFL, dating Kim Kardashian, and I’m almost definitely keeping my Heisman."
SP: "Isn’t this awesome?"
RB: "Yeah, it’s pretty awesome. Just goes to show you, crime pays in college football."
SP: "Yep, because even if you get caught, you’ve got plenty of time to get out before you actually get in trouble."
Lane Kiffin: "I know right? Like, I did the same thing at Tennessee! What are you guys talking about?"
SP: "…um, Lane? You haven’t heard the news yet, have you?"
LK: "If it doesn’t come from John Mayer’s Twitter, it isn’t news."
SP: "Well Lane, I hate to tell you this, but-"
Mike Garrett: "WAIT!"
/Garrett takes Pete aside, Kiffin watches as Bush plays PS3
MG: "Pete, while I’m really mad at you for fucking our shit up, I can’t have you telling Lane about it."
LK: "…PS3 huh? That’s cool. My dad bought me like a thousand PS3s. I don’t like Madden though, I win like a million to zero every time. Did you know I used to be the coach of the Raiders? That’s pretty cool, huh. When you’re an NFL head coach, you don’t even have to do anything. You just let your coaches do all the work. It’s too bad my coaches sucked and we lost a lot. If my daddy was coach we would have gone undefeated. Then we’d get to go to that champagne party with Don Shula and Dan Marino and Tone Loc and everybody. Have you ever had champagne? My daddy bought me champagne for my 16th birthday. If you mix it with sparkling apple cider it almost makes you not throw up a lot. Did you know my dad-"
RB: "SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
/Bush hits Kiffin in the head with PS3 controller, knocking him unconscious.
KG: "If Lane catches on that we can’t go to the postseason, he’ll just whine about it and leave. We’re just gonna let him play the season as if he’s in contention for a title. Then during bowl season, we’ll tell him the BCS chose us for a brand new bowl against the San Diego Chargers. Gus Spanos owes me a favor anyway, might as well be a big one."
PC: "I see. So he’s really that much of a raving lunatic? I thought most of it was just him portraying a media image."
MG: "No, he’s batshit crazy. I miss you so much."

This has nothing to do with this topic, but just felt like posting it...
The men’s 4×100-meter relay, the defending NCAA Outdoor Champion, finished with the top time in the preliminary round, clocking a 38.94 as Jeff Demps blazed down the back stretch.
The relay quartet, which was the only men’s 4×100m relay team on Wednesday to run sub-39 seconds, consisted of Chris Rainey, Jeremy Hall, Terrell Wilks and Demps.

But since there was no Curious Index today, I felt at liberty to mention here that WVU hired a new AD. He is former Mountaineer star and Houston Oiler QB Oliver Luck.
I suppose there is some tie-in to the PAC whatever thread by virtue of the fact that his son is the starting QB at Stanford.

Now I know that we're already on the B-52 bomber heading for Laputa, but...
Texas and Texas A&M to the Big 10 while the Pac-10 gets left with Oklahoma State? I find it hard to believe that the tree-climbers in Berkeley (or the academics of Stanford) are going to let the Fightin’ Pickens into their august ranks. The whole point of offering Pac-10 membership to the schools like Texas Tech and Okie State was giving a fig leaf for Texas and A&M, or so it seemed to me. I am still unconvinced that the SEC is immediately ready to expand, but I guess we’ll see.

Nothing appears unconditional yet but Colorado to the Pac-Televen.
That’s signed, sealed, announced by the school and the conference.
The rest of this is still in rumor world with strings likely attached. If something kills the full-on Tex/OK Anschluss, the Pac-n would probably take Utah instead to get to 12 and the requisite Conference Championship Game Bags O’ Cash™. They aren’t gonna get stuck with the Fighting Pickenses.
That 17-year-old Hokie sitting in the Greensboro Coliseum rafters in 1997 didn't see any of this coming.

Not really.
The major issue for Osborne (the tail wagging the dog that is Nebraska, without a doubt) was the Texas-centered nature of the Big XII. NO WAY Texas gets away with their bullshit in the Big-ger Integer.
That having been said, if these rumors are true, they’re gonna need to call in the National Guard and every SWAT team in 300 miles for the Texas-NU game in Lincoln in October.

Considering the even distribution of cash in the b10
I doubt Nebrasky would care that much.
"I'm colonel cool! And I'm the captain on this rocket to the stars!"
Actually
Nebraska fares pretty well in the uneven distribution pattern of the Big XII, given that we’re still a pretty solid draw for a national audience. The even distribution has really hurt everyone besides Texas, Oklahoma and Nebraska.
