I'm bringing back the Big 8!

Sign in to disble this ad
The mess that is the Big 12 this year has convinced me that the Big 8 must be reborn........ But not how it was.

From the start the Big 8 was OU and the Huskers, with an occasional appearance by Colorado.

From the start the SWC was Texas and A&M, with a touch of Tech.

So, here is your NEW BIG 8:

Texas
A&M
Tech
OU
OSU
Nebraska
Colorado
TCU

No divisions, no Championship game to screw up your final rankings. Everybody plays everybody and let's see who's best.

The last one is just for me but it makes sense. The Frogs have the history (National titles, SWC championships, Heisman winners, tons of All-Americans) and have been consistently excellent for 10 years.

All you Baylor, Mizzou, Iowa St, Kansas Polytechnic bums are out!! Go find another conference to screw up!!

Who's with me? Let's storm the castle!!

We're better than at least half the teams on that list.

I'm guessing we is Missouri, right? Look, ya'll are SO lucky Texas didn't recruit Chase due to his size. He has single-handedly given you a year and a half of good football. When he's gone you'll return to your rightful place..........

Pass on Arkansas. No civilized human being should be forced to attend a game as a visitor in Fayetteville.

I could be talked into Arkansas. Mizzou is not welcome. Understand, my idea is to have teams that bring something to the table history and heritage-wise.

And Baylor will be Baylor..... no more, no less......just Baylor next year.

You can have TCU. It's not like they're going to win the MWC anytime soon.

Alright then, lets just forget that Mizzou basically founded the Big 8.

I'm just saying that if you want schools with a good heritage and history, you can't leave out one of the Big 8's founding members. Speaking of history, perhaps you should take a look at the Big 8 record as well.
