Yeah, hop in.

I'm confused, but in case it's my turn, gimme Michigan.

BTW, the whole sanctity of the regular season is still fully intact.  Just ask Texas (lost to Florida, missed the playoff).  It still matters.  If A&M had not beaten ND in Game One, we would not have made the playoff, and ND would have. 

We can cherry pick all the little things along the way, but the whole sanctity of the season pretty much only applies to non-blue bloods. Blue Bloods and near blue bloods have always been given a pass.  Ask 1998 KSU and 2003 OU. 

Just when I think I'm healed.

My oldest was in utero at the time, and now has her own toddler.

A whole friggin generation later...

You know, I did like the contiguous, play-everybody-every-year Old Big 8, and the big 3 of the 8 when I became cognizant kicked some serious ass during my formative years and beyond, especially the 90's.

But my school was horrific, and played in a stadium either Trev Alberts or Brian Bozworth (interchangable douchenozzles) described as a "nuclear waste dump."  Broken clocks, and such.

The money has floweth into the whole University mightily since the advent of the Big XII.  The stadium is really very nice, expanded, there are 4-lane highways coming into town from 3 directions (sorry North), and there are new buildings on campus everywhere, and lots of nice new housing for students.  The shack Ski and I shared for a summer was dozed long ago (which was still too late.)

So, for nostagia purposes, give me the Big 8.  But, at least for the last 30 years, the Big XII was a good thing.  We'll see how it goes from here, I guess.

Add Utah and Arky to the Big 8 and that would have been something.

Had TX Governatrix Ann Richards not lobbied for her Alma Mater Baylor to be included, wonder how different just adding UT/aTm to make 10 would have played out.

But that happened after the SEC plucked Arkansas and also added South Carolina to make 12 and start the first CCG, and Penn St. making for the Big 10-leven.
