In general yes, but we don't have to cheer for every single member. At some point the Big12 is going to look at expanding. When they do, a key element will be Houston sucking, and being run like a Mickey Mouse operation with a restaurateur as their de facto president/athletic director.

IF Houston sucked and Cincinnati was good the last time expansion was discussed, it might have tipped the scales the other way. Nobody in the Big12 wanted Houston, including the Texas schools, but not voting them in would have been a huge mess politically. Now, not quite as much.

You've got a point, that's all true as well.

If the B12 expands Houston will get in. They are in the perfect location, they can win in basketball and football, and their market is perfect for the B12. Them sucking for 3 or 4 years will not matter because they’ve proven they can win like we have.

Houston being good is important for our conference and our team. A win against a good Houston team looks like a better than against a crappy Houston team. We don’t want them to suck.

Funny how people on this board get pissed at other fans making fun of our misfortunes but are the first to jump on someone else’s misfortunes.

You’re not the judge of us, noobie-boy.

You are confused. Our conference? Our team? You are as much a Memphis fan as Rick Pitino. Second, anyone with even a miniature brain knows that Houston adds nothing.

Sorry troll, whoever you really cheer for.

I get it though guess. I doubt that anyone here wishes bad things on opposing teams on a personal level.

When you have a head coach tank a season on all of his players who have worked so hard for the present, well it is unusual. He got what he deserved in this instance.

Maybe so. But that affects the rest of those young men too so... I do get poetic justice though.

Realizing that your coach is a POS is a harsh lesson, but if it means that one class goes 4-8 instead of 6-6 and it kills future recruiting, it is part of a greater good.

At the risk of repeating myself, I do get poetic justice though.

lol at King leaving Houston to go to Arkinsaw
LSU makes sense, as does FSU and Oklahoma

As I just said Houston would be perfect for their market. It keeps most of the major teams in Texas in the same conference which would would make the conference have a unique feel.

Now we have proven that we can win in football we just need to be able to sustain it. We are in a much better place now than when the expansion talks were going on. The question is do we better the B12 market compared to Boise state or cincy? Cincy absolutely! Boise would be hard to say because they are basically the only decent football team for miles and miles.

Academically do we better there conference? Probably not

I feel this all comes to down to football. Basketball checks every box for the big 12.

Afraid not. Expansion is all about just that - expanding the footprint and taking new territory and eyeballs, something Houston can’t do because like someone said - they are already there.

Memphis is new, fertile territory for the Big 12, right in the middle of SEC land...

If it was about being in the middle of SEC territory Memphis would have landed in P5 conference years ago.

However, I do agree with you it would be smart on B12 to do that and bring cincy right in the middle of B10. It just comes down to more than that.

Obviously I'm biased. But honestly trying to put that aside, can you imagine how HUGE it could be to have Texas, OU, etc. coming into Memphis? Say what you will but I truly believe, with the football crazed populous we have and the media market we cover, it could be a significant bump for them.

The territory grab that drives expansion is a fairly new, TV- driven phenomenon. Years ago, it was more about scholastic and cultural “fit”. Something an urban university didn’t bring to the good ole boy land grant university scene.

I hope you’re right! We shall see. I think the on campus stadium needs to happen as well.

Not saying that so we would be the better choice necessarily, just making an observation about Houston.

I can see that as well but Houston voice would be no louder than TCU or Baylor. Plus a lot of Alum is in Houston they would fill that place in orange. Maybe even make the game Texans stadium or do like the gators and bulldogs and play it at neutral site at Jerry’s world. Too much money involved with the city of Houston for UH to be over looked.

Houston does have a lot going for them. I just do not see a scenario where Texas, or any other TX school for that matter, would want to add another in-state team to fight for local recruits. Why not expand their recruiting to another area? Just a semi-ignorant fan's opinion 04-cheers

Houston would bring nothing to the Big 12 that they don't already have.

As I just said Houston would be perfect for their market. It keeps most of the major teams in Texas in the same conference which would would make the conference have a unique feel.

Now we have proven that we can win in football we just need to be able to sustain it. We are in a much better place now than when the expansion talks were going on. The question is do we better the B12 market compared to Boise state or cincy? Cincy absolutely! Boise would be hard to say because they are basically the only decent football team for miles and miles.

Academically do we better there conference? Probably not

I feel this all comes to down to football. Basketball checks every box for the big 12.

Houston is the last team a program like Texas would want to be added to their conference. Texas is the loudest voice, and I do not see any scenario where they'd vote for Houston being in the B12.

Not saying that so we would be the better choice necessarily, just making an observation about Houston.
I can see that as well but Houston voice would be no louder than TCU or Baylor. Plus a lot of Alum is in Houston they would fill that place in orange. Maybe even make the game Texans stadium or do like the gators and bulldogs and play it at neutral site at Jerry’s world. Too much money involved with the city of Houston for UH to be over looked.

Houston does have a lot going for them. I just do not see a scenario where Texas, or any other TX school for that matter, would want to add another in-state team to fight for local recruits. Why not expand their recruiting to another area? Just a semi-ignorant fan's opinion 04-cheers

No I agree with you! Why not steal some recruits from an SEC team, and have B-BALL team that will be consistently in top 25.
