The Independence Bowl deserves some sort of award for having the most fucking awful official names in the history of bowl games:

The Poulon Weed Eater Independence Bowl
The Mainstay Suites Independence Bowl
The Petrosun Indepedence Bowl
The AdvoCare V100 Independence Bowl
The Duck Commander Independence Bowl

Though in its short history, the St. Petersburg Bowl is already building up an impressive resume itself

The Beef O'Brady's Bowl

From OSU insider, Memphis and Cincinnati will join the B12. Just a matter of when it gets announced.

B12 needs a CG, even if that means taking two poop programs.

[Mike]

The correct course of action, of course, would be to do away with conference championship games all together and have everyone play 9 game conference schedules - just like the Big 12 currently does. As is usually the case, the wrong lesson was learned in this instance and stupid knee-jerk reactions will follow.

they should have taken Louisville a couple years ago.. The Big12 leadership has been asleep at the wheel

[AlabamAlum]

I've always thought Colorado State would be nice. The BigXII has a traditional footprint in that state and the Rams would join in a heartbeat.

This is the end result of all these schools kowtowing to Texas' delusions of grandeur. Look at where its gotten them; traded Nebraska, ATM, Missou and Colorado for TCU, WV, Memphis and Cincinnati.

Its delicious.

That's a bummer. I guess overall I'm glad Nebraksa's in the Big Ten, but I'd rather see five or six strong instead of this race to poach and grow. As far as I'm concerned 12 members is fine, but there's a big difference with 14. I don't like this at all. The Big 12 as it was seemed to have a good amount of healthy programs and great rivalries.

[Mike]

I can't wait until an 8-4 Cincinnati team knocks off undefeated TCU in the CCG and costs the B12 a playoff spot. Bowlsby's head might explode on the podium this time.

Its hanging on by a thread. Bob Stoops is sliding toward retirement, and Kansas State is only going to squeeze another year of lifeforce out of Bill Synder. They are quite fortunate that the NCAA has rolled over and died, else Baylor would be getting the IRS treatment, but Baylor and Texas cannot keep the league afloat.

Now they are taking on two mouths to feed in order to just get the pure numbers they had five years ago, so they can play a CCG in football. Its fucking comical.

[Mike]

The league just needs to be put out of its misery.

[hack]

Good basketball league, too. I wish basketball didn't have to be subject to all these football-first moves that are stupid anyways.
