Realignment talk not going away
I used to go to a lot of road games. It would be a weekend trip designed around soaking in the game day experience of that school, with little time for exploring the greater locale. I would much rather do this in a place like Baton Rouge than Palo Alto. The amount of fun I had in a trip had a lot to do with the game itself and experience around it. I travel around the US as much as I can, and my actual vacations rarely overlap with places that have major colleges.

Then take the trip? This is about football and not fan vacations, football is far and away the most important cultural touchstone. The Pac 12 didnt put sports at the top of their priority list and now they don’t exist.

Texas’s schedule in the Big 10 would look a lot more like its Big 12 schedule than its SEC schedule. You guys complained about having schools like us and the Kansas schools on your schedule every year, but that’s basically what you’d have got in the Big 10. Maybe one of Pedo/OSU/Mich per year. A lot fewer helmet schools than the SEC.

I'm moving this direction. The last few times I've done 3-2-1 it was too long. Not sure if my thermometer is off or what, but the ends of the rack were getting too dry.- Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
I'm slightly exaggerating, but all you left off the list were white-ass Mexican restaurants and liquor stores.- Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
Kind of. A good analogy might be like Ann Arbor to Detroit. Basically part of the same MSA, but a distinct and separate character and feel due to the university presence.- Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
Ankeny and Huxley are basically attached at this point. If Ames had grown to the south as much as it's grown to the north and west the past 30 years, it would be one unbroken urban area already.- Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
They did. They come to Ames in '26, and then in '27 the game finally won't be played (unless we both make CCG). It will be 5 years without Farmageddon in Manhattan. A lot of KSU folks aren't real thrilled about it. This is nothing but a boon for us.- Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
Check back in 10 years. There's about 5 miles of real open country between the south end of Ames and the northern most Des Moines suburb. It's not yet, but it will happen in my lifetime.- Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
We're all going to be in the same giant ass conference when the SEC and Big 10 raid the ACC in a few years anyhow.- Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
I could live in Ames again. It's only 40 minutes to downtown Des Moines, and while Des Moines isn't a truly big city, it's really urban for it's size (metro around 800K). But I'm a small town guy. I grew up on a farm between a town of 150 and a town of 20ish. I live in a town of 3900 currently. It takes an incredible level of isolation for me to feel truly isolated.- Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
That’s what I like about those places. You get that classic “college town” atmosphere because the community utterly revolves around campus. Ive been to TCU, and it’s a beautiful campus in a great city, but it’s a totally different experience than a college town.- Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
The whole thing about them both being 2-3 hours from Kansas City was more to my point.- Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
Do you know where Ames, Iowa and Manhattan, Kansas are?- Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
I just looked up how feasible moving the Big 12 CCG to Arrowhead would be in this scenario, but unfortunately the Chiefs are home that evening.- Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
Yes, last year. I meant to say "would have". I think the ASU team that had you on the ropes would have handily beaten the Clemson team that you handily beat.- Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
The Big 12 will probably have the best last place team of any major conference and the worst first place team. Although after last year's playoffs, it would be interesting to see the Big 12 and ACC champs play. I think ASU would mudholed Clemson.- Do We Have a Christ Followers Thread?
A priest told me once that we don’t pray because God intercedes and gives you what ask for, but rather we pray to help focus ourselves on what’s important to us, in order to help us be better examples of Christ’s love. And I think way more people need to get that message on Sundays.- Tell me about Nebraska
Maybe he was miserable because huffed nuts his entire tenure there.- Uniform Pron
I very much enjoyed watching them beat Iowa and KSU- Uniform Pron
Unless your school is playing them- Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson, Chris Stapleton, and Other Good Stuff
Those are my favorites too- Realignment talk not going away
This would be true had you guys not left the Big 12 as well. TV wanted the power programs more concentrated and that wouldn’t have changed with a Pac 16.- Realignment talk not going away
It would have failed, for many of the same reasons the Pac 12 failed Thats an insane cultural disparity, and all the shit you guys talk on Big 12 schools applies more so to the Pac schools. Far away places that don’t care anywhere near as much about football. The SEC is the only place it ever made sense for UT and OU to go outside of the Big 12. - 3-2-1 Ribs
