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

This, they created the mess

Filling in the gaps by making stuff up and wildly speculating

Huge Manatee

That seems to be what the BIG12 wanted

The big 12 has said very little

Count Cougar

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 2:47pm

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

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

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.

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

The voted to look into expansion, not to definitely expand

credfern84

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.
