Hey I get it, Cincinnati isn't anything to write home about, but let's not act like the other power conferences don't have plenty of shit teams as well.I hope the other four power conferences don't revoke our P5 status.

Still say we need 1 of, if not both of the Florida schools. Awesome to have games and a presence there with recruits.
Who needs Tech?build the conf up to 16 then UT,OU,OSU,TT bolt for bigger better Conf. Leaving behind a crappy B12 conf.
What was the home schedule in ''05 or '09? Hint...it sucked. And DKR was packed. Guess why??The issue will be UT fans apathy towards having a nationally relevant, competitive game. The season ticket holder is the one who is getting screwed.
The arguement I hear is that when we are winning, no one will care. The UT fans that I know actually do care about how they spend their money on entertainment. Most reasonable people don't shell out hundreds of dollars to watch an exhibition fight between a champion and an amateur, they want a competitive game between heavyweights. This is the point most miss in adding mid major teams. It doesn't seem unreasonable to think that maybe, just maybe, people are going to start to realize they can save the headache of game day at DKR and stay at home instead of paying hundreds of dollars to watch a mediocre product. They will realize that they can simply record the game between Texas and Memphis, Kansas, Iowa State, UConn, etc. and tune in and watch a nationally relevant, competitive, real college football game in the comfort of their home and once everyone has gone to sleep, they can then turn on the sh*t product that is the big 12 conference game. Then they can read the morning paper on how UT is just a victim to national "trends" in a decline in stadium attendance.....
Think about this for a second:
The only heavyweight conference game we play is played in Dallas. We literally get zero national "brand name" conference games at DKR. Ever. Now think of every other p5 conference in football. I will say it again,...the season ticket holder is the one getting screwed here. The thing that is maddening is that we could do much, much better than the big 12 and still have a great shot at going to the playoffs.
Uhh well they had a few good hoops teams under Cal about a decade ago. That's all I got.WTH does Memphis bring to the table?
Turns out qwanseeker is a UH grad, which explains a lot about the quality of his posts on the topic. The type of thing we have to look forward to if we let these stay at home students into our conference.Crossing the line. Weren't you recently spanked and sent to bed without your supper for posting trash about a poster's mom?
Baylor is finally in the conference it should have been a member of in the first place.We as fans, alumni, donors didn't demand better the 2 or 3 other times we had the chance to leave for a better situation and we sat idle.
The rise of THE BIG DOGSHIT CONFERENCE
has arrived.
I think after adding these shit commuter schools the conference will be less respected nationally than it was.
Very, very sad day.
Money. FedEx has promised Big XII championship game sponsorship and more if Memphis is added to the league.WTH does Memphis bring to the table?
Ah, so you're gonna go with the it was a joke among friends rationale? Really?
Not sure how old you are, don't really care but as one gets older we learn certain life lessons; one is, some things we just don't joke about. Another is some lines we just don't cross. Joking/talking trash about anyone's family in particular a mother is something rational people don't normally do; especially when they don't know the other person outside the anonymity of an internet sports forum. Pretty simple concept to understand that should have been learned by the time a person completes high school.
It doesn't take a mod or a hall monitor to see that there was absolutely no sign of humor or class in your reply to the other poster ITT. ...And no, I'd never say your mom slept with half of the OB members. I wouldn't say that to a fellow poster on OB and I wouldn't say that to someone who was a life long friend. Dude, WTH is the matter with you?
I'm sure we could find another sponsor.Money. FedEx has promised Big XII championship game sponsorship and more if Memphis is added to the league.
No doubt. And I would MUCH rather have UCF than Memphis. That's just a bad program.I'm sure we could find another sponsor.
Yeah. I mean for me, that would absolutely not be a factor, but I guess it is for the presidents. What a mess, this is awful. I'd rather just be one of the guys in the PAC or B1G. Enough already.No doubt. And I would MUCH rather have UCF than Memphis. That's just a bad program.
I'm just responding to why they are even in the conversation. I think the president's see low hanging fruit.
So your stance is that gay men are a negative reflection against their alma mater?I stand by my response to the assertion that a man who never attended a single football game at his university is somehow a negative reflection against that university.

I think they view (wrongly) that Memphis with FedEx money would eventually be like an Oregon with Nike or Louisville with Papa John's if given the chance to join a power 5 conference.No doubt. And I would MUCH rather have UCF than Memphis. That's just a bad program.

There are rumblings we may extend GOR to get Houston in.....Weakens the conference. Another stellar move by the Big 12 if so. 2024-25? So close, yet sooooooo far away.
Looks like Justin timberlake.Am I an old if I say I have no fuqing idea who that is?

We as fans had no say. DeLoss (blinded by his raging woodie for ND) brilliantly executed a strategy of doing nothing at all while golden opportunities passed us by. I will never, ever forgive him for that.We as fans, alumni, donors didn't demand better the 2 or 3 other times we had the chance to leave for a better situation and we sat idle.
