Ha....this thing is a circus

The BIG12 is a joke

mobius

9/27/16 2:38pm

The media is not helping

Huge Manatee

9/27/16 2:39pm

They (B12) have themselves to blame the minute they declared the search was on

franklyvulgar

9/27/16 2:43pm

This, they created the mess

mobius

9/27/16 2:44pm

Filling in the gaps by making stuff up and wildly speculating

Huge Manatee

9/27/16 2:46pm

That seems to be what the BIG12 wanted

mobius

9/27/16 3:03pm

The big 12 has said very little

Three or four different outlets reported that he was against expansion now.

riboflavin

9/27/16 2:40pm

He never said he was against expansion, he said it might not happen

Littlerich

9/27/16 2:42pm

By saying that it shows he's trying to somehow sway the outcome to a degree

franklyvulgar

9/27/16 2:45pm

and respected oklahoma and big 12 beat writers said they were hearing that

riboflavin

9/27/16 2:45pm

All the speculation is great, but Boren never said Oklahoma was against

Littlerich

9/27/16 2:46pm

These reporters also said expansion was dead prior to July 19th

Littlerich

9/27/16 2:47pm

Pointing to the July 19 situation is a tired argument in my opinion

Machiavelli

9/27/16 2:49pm

exactly. the ACC thing totally played into it. they said as much.

riboflavin

9/27/16 2:51pm

I point to it because nobody has any idea what is going on

Littlerich

9/27/16 2:51pm

It is the most salient argument out there.

StalwartBraveTrue

9/27/16 3:22pm

the media is right a lot.

riboflavin

9/27/16 4:23pm

Except when they're not. Like when they discuss expansion.

StalwartBraveTrue

9/27/16 4:27pm

"But I understand you being tired of listening to reason." Why insult me?

Machiavelli

9/27/16 4:30pm

Not an insult. An observation. We all do it.

StalwartBraveTrue

9/27/16 4:41pm

boren went from "we are at a psychological disadvantage we need to expand" then

riboflavin

9/27/16 2:50pm

Part of that could be his change in position. He is now the chairman of the

rggee

9/27/16 3:58pm

that's cuz they all took that quote we were talking about earlier and

nashty

9/27/16 3:13pm

I'm wondering if this was an intentional leak in an effort to get Texas to give

Machiavelli

9/27/16 2:44pm

Texas doesn't care what OU or anyone else thinks or says .

Everyman

9/27/16 3:05pm

They are all pointing to his one quote that expansion is "not a sure thing."

rggee

9/27/16 3:53pm

Why would we listen to Boren over "industry sources?"

k-ace

9/27/16 2:41pm

That's right, what kind of credible source could Boren possibly have?

valcorger

9/27/16 2:48pm

Boren knows nothing. I clearly heard OU is against expansion.

tricksR4kids

9/27/16 3:09pm

I'm very confident they will expand by 2. Will BYU make the cut.

qwerew

9/27/16 2:48pm

Just a reminder

NorthernCougar

9/27/16 3:07pm

How has OK not taken a position? Didn't the vote in favor of expansion on 19JUL?

TheLoneCougar

9/27/16 3:11pm

Yes, but not on specific expansion candidates

rggee

9/27/16 3:55pm

The voted to look into expansion, not to definitely expand

credfern84

9/27/16 8:15pm

exactly...thamel took a quote and ran with it. it's what journalism is now

nashty

9/27/16 3:12pm

I told you guys. Nothing has changed. Reporters are getting antsy.

rggee

9/27/16 3:51pm

What news came out today?

Bravescoug

9/27/16 3:55pm

None - just reporters wildly speculating about week-old quotes

rggee

9/27/16 3:56pm

I feel like these old morons think all this media attention is a good thing

Cougz19

9/27/16 4:53pm

It is a good. Big12 has been in the daily sports news chatter for months now.
