"I am not saying everyone connected to Missouri would rather have been in the Big Ten back then but it was pretty clear that your leadership wanted it pretty badly. Who do you think got your Governor all fired up about it?

I disagree about Oklahoma. Norman is two and a half hours drive time from DFW. It is a false argument that you are buying into. They will be fine wherever they go. Nebraska's recruiting was already going down hill before they ever left the Big 12 and that is why any attempt to claim that Oklahoma would lose all it's recruiting is just silly and is simply false logic. Any kind of statement like that which is based upon a false premise is therefore false as well.

Nebraska's distance from Texas is an issue for them in terms of recruiting Texas. Nebraska at it's prime recruiting the entire country, not just Texas. Oklahoma is a much different situation. I realize you guys don't like the Big Ten and that doesn't bother me one bit but do try to keep to the facts in these debates with me. The Oklahoma situation is far from being the same as the Nebraska situation was."


1. I do not think any of us know what will happen.
2. I for one do not dislike the B1G. Was just angry until the SEC called.
3. You can't call a theory or opinion a falsehood. We cannot say how OU will do in any new conference, as it has not happened or been proved.
4. My OU to the B1G opinion was based upon the idea that OU goes to the B1G without Texas. I do not invision a bundle of Texas kids signing up to play for OU in the B1G. I do see Texas recruits signing up at OU to play A&M, LSU, Arkansas, Missouri, and possibly Baylor. Much closer sites to their homes than any B1G school. It is not a falsehood... it is my opinion.
5. Of course DFW is close by. Question to me is, who do these kids want to compete against? Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, etc.? It is my opinion that many of the potential OU recruits might just start beefing up the Aggies, LSU, and Arkansas.
6. I was one of the first posters to back Ohio State two weeks ago. They totally deserved the spot in the playoff. I am not a hater...
7. We are arguing about events of the past. Who cares what Missouri planned or wanted years ago. Question is now, would they change the present. Let me phrase this answer carefully... I doubt it...
