NHR: Liberty beats Baylor

I'll see Baylor in person in two weeks and expect them to be much different(improved).
 
Baylor, having had (like so many in the history of Texas fieldfiller football) a short illegal run, is regressing to the mean. Its function, like the rest of the Little 8, is to take it up the a** by the Big 2, cash their checks and smile.
 
Baylor was a perennial bottom feeder prior to Briles and it looks as if it will now return to its previous position. Sadly, they invested in a ton of improvements based on the promise of continued winning under Briles and Co.

I agree baylor has a weak run for obvious reasons. However I don't think that's how the rest of those programs are run. Let's not give teams a bad name just because of an affiliation.
 
Easy sister if you have been around as you say you have in other posts (42 years I believe) than you should clearly remember the Perry Moss fiasco here at Marshall. Just saying.

But lest you forget, bb, ole Perry won BIG TIME with them Charleston Rockets!! :p
 
Almost, but not quite, as embarrassing to the "Little 12" was the Big Egg those shorthorns laid in Austin against those Big 10 also rans, Maryland's Terps. Will enjoy listening to those pseudo journalist, EER bootlickers on Metro News try to defend that League's Power bonafides this week, especially if there is a NEER beat down tonight in the Redskins stadium!

Yes oldeherd but deem Charleston Rockets weren't in the NCAA. Perry had assembled quite a collection of players for us and would have been great until he got caught.

Hope they get the death penalty [wont happen] lose about 200 million and stay in the big 12 as a continual black eye, sucking money and value from that conference, then I hope OK and TX leave. Leaving WVU in a shitty conference with losers and about 800 miles from the nearest school

They'll try to opt for the ACC, which they won't get into. The SEC will pick better competition and more money markets. Forget the Big 10...no AAU.
wvu ends up in the AAC.

Sounds like a long shot, but I hope you're right.

Yep.

The Texas-Oklahoma business plan in creating the Big 2-Little 8 was simple. But flawed.

Get 8 randos, sign unequal TV deals, and settle it among themselves 9 years out of 10.

The problem? At the Texas-Oklahoma level, the majority of recruits are aspiring to the NFL. That level of player wants to test himself vs. the best. Playing teams you are supposed to beat is not that, and thus they lose recruits to the better leagues. In a few years the TV deals run out and there will be another "great realignment" with UT and OU going to one of the 4 major conferences and the leftovers will join us in the second division.

I do have to wonder as to how they got their new deal this year...increased money despite adding no value or teams and more money for a title game.
But I imagine its contingent upon there actually being an exciting title game to begin with.
A 1 loss OU/Texas team against a 4 loss someone else...may not generate the interest as hoped for...especially considering the Big 12 just crapped the bed this weekend.

Anyways, in the end...OU bolts for the Pac-12 and Texas goes independent...since Texas really can't bully anyone else...the SEC and Big 10 board rooms would laugh at them and the ACC is too far away. The Pac-12 maybe but the Longhorn Network would piss people off.
The remaining top go to other conferences or stay put amidst tumbleweeds and head scratching bewilderment.
