Texas mascot Bevo won't be on the sideline for the game against Kansas because the Jayhawks prohibit live mascots on the field.

not sure why this would be a headline on ESPN.com

It's Bevo, Bevo is awesome, and therefore front page news.
You're just jealous that ol' Inbred Jed isn't making headlines.

And NOW it's a truly Happy Thanksgiving.  Before the Maryland loss I was thinking 8-4 would be a really solid season for Texas.  After the Maryland loss I was thinking 5-7 was inevitable.

I can't express how delightful and gratifying it is to have a team, and coaches, that don't appear completely overwhelmed at the slightest hint of adversity.  This team is gritty, they're fighters, and even when they're losing they're still 100% engaged and committed.

Well I guess the CCG is a match made in heaven for the B12.  OU v Tx for the title.  

They should have split OU/Tex when the conference was first formed, it would have probably been better than what happened with the N/S split after the first few years.

Only way splitting OU and Texas woulda worked is if they'd been assigned as permanent x-division rivals, like Alabama and Tennessee are in the SEC.
Which is what they should have done with NU and OU, by the way.

It's easy to say all this with hindsight but remember when the XII was formed NU had just won 2 in a row MNC's and KSU was winning 11 games a season.  A&M was coming off a strong 80's and 90's run and OU was in the dump.  Still, after ten or so years it should have been apparent that the divisions needed mixing up a little even if it didn't make geographic sense.  

I think the Big 10 tried that ("Legends and Leaders" ) but I would have put OU and Tex in different divisions and then assigned permanent conference opponents as necessary.

conference championship games just screw things up

and conferences with more members that can play each other in season are screwed up

big men with leadership responsibilities in these conferences easily are swayed by $$$

In 1994 and 1995 when they were gearing up for the 1996 inaugural Big 12 season, OU and Texas were not top 10 teams and hand not been so in 4 or 5 years.  Nebraska was the Big Dog, A&M ruled the SWC.  Colorado was no slouch.  Why design a conference around a couple of mediocre teams?  Especially when people like to imagine the here and now are the things to come rather than little dips or blips in the greater context.
