What does the future hold for the Big XII?
I’ve heard the stories of the Texas Tech coach claiming in 2-5 years the Big Twelve will disband.
I for one find this preposterous for several reasons. For one even the ten remaining teams are all still in one local area essentially. 4 are in Texas, 2 in Oklahoma, 2 in Kansas, and one each in Missouri and Iowa. I don’t see why perhaps New Mexico, Nevada, Rice, Houston, Colorado State, or my recommendation BYU (granted they are far away but still a football powerhouse) could join. Secondly if the Big 12 were to hypothetically disband where would all the schools go? It’d be hard to divvy up all those big name universities and old rivalries between regional colleges would likely be quashed as the B10, SEC, and PAC 10 split the conference to form their own mega-conferences. I just don’t see that working.
What do you think will become of the future of the Big 12? I think even with just ten schools they could hold their own if they so chose. I think their best bet would be to add BYU and New Mexico.
Also another question of interest. The Big 12 consisted of the Big 8 and the addition to several Texas and Oklahoma schools I believe. What conference were the Texas Longhorns in before the creation of the Big 12?
Robert’s right. First, they were in the SWC; second, they don’t want to give up their already lucrative TV deal… not to mention, the Big XII has a tiered revenue system: the Longhorns and Sooners make more than the Rebels and Cowboys, who make more than the Jayhawks and Cyclones (it’s convoluted and unfair, one of the reasons Nebraska and Colorado both left). They would take a pay cut by going to the Pac-10. Logistically, it’d be much easier just to add two teams- it doesn’t really matter who, so long as it isn’t something off-the-wall like Hawaii or Boston U for example.
I believe it’s University of Houston. 3rd largest university in Texas, Largest city in Texas, 4th Largest city in the United States. One of the largest TV Markets. Texas is the largest recruiting for High School football and Houston is #1 in the nation. There about to renovate the basketball areana and build a brand new football stadium. The football team is up and coming same with there recruiting. Football team was a top 25 and basketball team made the tourney. Great new head coach and athletic director….
UH football enters the 2010 preseason with a Top 25 ranking, three preseason All-Americans including Heisman Trophy candidate Case Keenum, and seven televised games including non-conference matchups with UCLA, Texas Tech and Mississippi State.
Top-notch facilities are planned, with a feasibility study recommending a new $120 million football stadium with 40,000 seats and Phase II expansion to 50,000+ and a $40 million renovation to the basketball arena.
UH Cougars have won 61 NCAA individual championships and 17 NCAA team titles, played in 20 bowl games, five NCAA Final Four men’s basketball championships and two College World Series.
UH has produced some of the finest athletes in the nation, including 849 All-America Award winners and 65 Olympians earning 39 medals.
Excellent Location
Memphis is easily the front runner at the moment…YES I KNOW THEY SUCK.
Although other schools could make a better case on merit alone they don’t have what Memphis has, a MASSIVE bursary run by a billionaire that promises to pay any conference that takes them 10 Million dollars a year. Essentially another school from the CUSA would need to prove to the major conference that they would for sure benefit the conference by 10 million dollars more a year in comparison to Memphis.
Also Memphis just hired a director who’s only task is to get them into a better conference… they announced this as his mission when they held a press conference to try to raise awareness of their intent to leave the CUSA.
The Big East sounds like they are very open to Memphis at the moment because of Memphis’s strong basketball history and the guaranteed pay day that would off set replacing a Rutgers if the Big Ten tried to steal them.
Here is my proof:

P.S. I take it you are a Houston fan but remember that the Texas market is saturated at the moment so all the stats regarding the potential fan base have been allotted AT LEAST TV CONTRACT WISE to Texas Tech, Texas, Baylor, Texas A&M etc. Its like saying that La Selle deserves a promotion to a big conference because it is in Philadelphia but when you realize that Villanova already has that market share their is no point in dividing the proceeds.
P.P.S. Yes I just post scripted a post script lol, I really want to make it clear that I actually like Houston University but its just not practical to say they will move to the big leagues, you can cross your fingers on maybe getting into an expanded MWC though (Which with the addition of both Boise State and Houston would be AQ eligible).
How do I walk on the football team?
I’ve got a couple football scholarship offers from decent sized schools-Kent state, Houston, and northern Arizona. But I really want to play at Hawaii. I’m from Kansas so getting exposure To them was tough. Does anybody know how I could set up a walk-on tryout for the university of Hawaii at manoa? And are there any other universities in Hawaii that have a football team so that if I don’t make it I can go for that one? My dream is to play football in Hawaii and I’d like to have it come true. I am a quarterback if that helps any.
The first thing you have to do is make sure you GPA will qualify for a Division I school. The NCAA has different GPA and ACT requirements depending on Div I, II or III. If the GPA isn’t high enough, it won’t matter how good you are. KSU and Houston are both DI schools. You can go to the NCAA website and get the info for requirements.
Presuming you meet those requirements, call the coach and ask him a few questions. First, how many QB’s do they have, what grades are they in, etc., to find out the competition you would have. It is better to go where you can make an impact soon.
Walk-ons generally must be enrolled at the school to begin with, it’s not like a tryout camp for MLB or the NFL. Get what info you can and try to make an informed decision, but my recommendation is, if you have solid, in writing, offers on the table, look long and hard at them, especially in today’s economy.

I am just a junior but plan to apply to both U of Houston and TAMU this summer of early fall. I was wondering if anyone knew how difficult it it to get accepted into either of the two schools, by the way I am an out-of-state applicant. I currently have a 3.53 cumulative GPA, scored 26 on the ACT (I plan to take it one more time to get in the 28-30 range), and have participated in cross country and football. I also earned my Eagle Scout as a freshman, I do not know if I can or should put that on my application, and plan to take on AP course next year. I also am interested in doing the ROTC program while in college, I still have not made a decision on which branch however. Will I have a decent shot at being admitted into either one of these two universities, and do you have any advice? Thanks.
Of the two, A&M is far superior. There are a number of schools in Texas that are superior to U of H. The question really is which will accept your application?
There are several free online services that help you find a school that is already accepting students with your credentials. My favorite is College Matchmaker, from the College Board company. Go to that website, enter your personal information and SAT or ACT scores, tell them where [State or area or even by zip code] you want to go to college and what majors you may be interested in, and see what comes up. Then, make sure that you apply to at least three of the schools likely to accept you. College admissions can be cruel at times, and you definitely want to have some choice
Here is the web address: http://collegesearch.collegeboard.com/search/adv_typeofschool.jsp
Also, it is a good idea to read what other students say about the colleges you are investigating. The best free site for that feedback is run by The Princeton Review.
Here is their web address: http://www.princetonreview.com/com.aspx
As for ROTC, you have to apply. It is not automatic by any means. Most of it you can do online, but you really do need to get to work on your application packages right now. Visit the Navy and the Army "officer recruiters" for the process. With Navy ROTC, for example, you can go to Rice practically for free.
Riddle: California Vs. Texas?
This is kinda dumb but it’s fun to read. Texas Rules!
WHY CALIFORNIA IS BETTER THAN TEXAS:
- I can wear sandals all year long
- I go to the Beach – not "down to the shore"
-Our chicks are WAYYYY hotter than yours. Well…Miami can hang.
- I say "like" and "for sure" and "right on" and "dude" and "totally" and "peace out" and "chill" and "tight" and "bro" and I say them often
- I know what real cheese & avocados taste like
-Everyone smokes weed and its no big deal
-We’ll roll up 40 deep when something goes down.
-I live next door to Mexicans, but we call them American’s!
-All the porn you watch is made here, cause we’re better and thats how it is
- I don’t get snowdays off because theres only snow in Mammoth, Tahoe, Shasta, and Big Bear
- I know 65 mph really means 100
- When someone cuts me off, they get the horn and the finger and high speed chase cuz we don’t screw around on the road
- The drinking age is 21 but everyone starts at 14 (legally 18 if you live close enough to the border)
- My governor can kick your governors ass
- I can go out at midnight
-You judge people based on what area code they live in, and when asked where you’re from, you give your area code
- I might get looked at funny by locals when I’m on vacation in their state, but when they find out I’m from California I turn into a Greek GOD
- We don’t stop at stop signs… we do a "california roll"
- I can get fresh and REAL Mexican food 24 hours a day
- All the TV shows you "other" states watch get filmed here
- We’re the Golden State. Not the Cheese State. Not the Garden State…..GOLDEN!!!
- We have In-N-Out (Arizona and Vegas are lucky we share that with them)
- I have the most representation in the House of Representatives, which means MY opinion means more than yours, which means I’m better than you
- The best athletes come from here
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
WHY TEXAS IS BETTER THAN CALIFORNIA:
Hey… California listen up… Texas is where its at!
- I too can wear sandals all year long… plus I can put on boots to stomp your toes and I won’t even stick out.
- You may be able to go to the "beach" instead of the "shore"… but can you go to the drive thru "Beer Barn?" What now surfer boy?
- You’re chicks aren’t way hotter than ours… they are almost equal… and thats only due to silicone, saline, botox, lasers and hair dye… We have the real ones and they can beat yours up.
- We’re taught to say "Yes Sir" and "Yes Ma’am" and respect our elders because of it. We also say "Howdy" and "fixin" and "Yall" are pretty much recognized right away anywhere in the world
We’re famous
- You may know what real cheese and avocados taste like… but I know what 100% Grade A Angus Beef tastes like. Who wants avocados and cheese when you can have steak and potatoes?
- Haha… who do you think grows the weed and sells it to you?
- Why roll 40 deep when something goes down if 5 corn fed country boys can get the job done…
- I live next door to Americans, but we call them Mexicans
- About your Porn…. 3 words… "Debbie Does Dallas"… You can brag about it now, but we started it
- Why would you brag about not getting snow days off?
- We’re smart enough to know 65mph means 65, but our speed limit is 70.
- When someone cuts me off, they get run over by my big ass truck, then I give them the finger and tell them to go back to california.
- The drinking age is 21, and that’s also why half of your population is in rehab by the age of 12!
- Yeah, Well my governor became the President of the United States… yours isn’t even eligible.
- You can go out at midnight? Thats nice, I haven’t even come home by then.
- Ok… you said,"You judge people based on what area code they live in, and when asked where you’re from, you give your area code" and as hard as I try I have no idea what you’re talking about… I think you’re watching too much TV.
- Yeah, you’ll definitely get looked at funny when you come to visit but we have another name for you pretty boys, and its not Greek, its French.
- Of course you don’t stop at stop signs… none of you can drive.
- You can pick up Real Mexican food 24 hours a day huh… well I can swing by home depot and pick up 24 Real Mexicans anytime of day. Can you say catering?
- All the TV shows get filmed there… but where does your favorite poker game come from? Texas Hold’em anyone?
- You can keep your golden state… We’re the Lone Star State…the one and only!!
- Do I have to remind you about the drive thru Beer Barn again? Does In-N-Out serve alcohol? (Oh and did I mention Dr. Pepper was created in Texas?)[TEXAS does have an In-N-Out as well. Liberty, Texas, baby...so stick that in your juice box and suck it!]
- You guys have the best athletes huh?… Eight words… Lance Armstrong and The University of Texas at Austin
Though I could mention MICHAEL JOHNSON – Olympic Sprinter, World record holder in 200m and 400m, 5 Olympic Gold medals, 9 time World Champion (born Dallas, TX)
Oh and remind me again who won the Rose Bowl between USC and Texas????? I believe it was the LONGHORNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Football is a religion, not a sport
- In Texas, football means football, not soccer.
- 90% of football "movies" you guys are making are about Texas Football.
-Varsity Blues, filmed in Georgetown, TX – Friday Night Lights, filmed in Odessa, TX – Necessary Roughness, filmed in San Marcos, TX
- Texas is the only state that can still separate to become its own country. The only way California’s gonna accomplish that is if another earthquake comes along and you guys sink into the ocean. Can you say Atlantis…. hahaha
-Everything is BIGGER in TEXAS
And as the Great Sam Houston once said "Texas could survive without the United States, but the United States could not survive without Texas"
Texas wins hands down, dude. I have lived all over the world in service to my country, but even NY, NY (Or even some where in Kansas) beats living anywhere besides the USA. God Bless all of America!
chances to get into U of Mich?
I am a junior in houston Texas i really want to goto u of mich.I have a 3.75 so far i screwed up freshman year. i expect to get 1950 maybe 2000 if a get lucky on the sat. i will have played football for all 4 yrs and i am in hosa and deca and probably nhs nxt year.i have 50 -75 service hours.have taken challenging courses since sophmore year. and im at the border of being top ten im pretty sure though ill get in. also i am 1st generation to go to college and im out of state tuition is not a problem. every1 makes it sound so selective yet on sites it says 47% acceptance rate.do i have much of chance to get into this university ?
Sounds like you have a decent shot, especially if your cumulative GPA is still 3.75 even with a bad freshman year (a strong upward trend is a big plus). I wouldn’t call you a lock, and you still need to do at least as well as you expect on the SAT, but if you pull that off your chances are as good as anyone’s. Best of luck!
Rules To Enter TEXAS?
Willys cynical thought for the day;
I wouldn’t be caught dead with a fugging necrophiliac!
Applies to each person as they enter Texas. Learn ‘em and remember ‘em. East Coast and California-types pay particular attention!
1. Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an idiot!
2. Let’s get this straight; it’s called a "gravel road." I drive a pickup truck because I need to. No matter how slow you drive, you’re going to get dust on your Hummer. Drive it or get out of the way.
3. They are cattle and oil wells. That’s what they smell like to you. They smell like money to us. Get over it. Don’t like it? I-20 and I-10 go east and west, I-35 goes north and south. Pick one!
4. So you have a $60,000 car. We’re impressed! We have quarter-million dollar cotton strippers that we drive 3 weeks a year.
5. So every person in every pickup waves. It’s called being friendly. Try to understand the concept.
6. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of doves are coming in, we WILL shoot it out of your hand. You better hope you don’t have it up to your ear at the time.
7. Yeah, we eat catfish and crawdads. You really want sushi & caviar? It’s available at the corner bait shop.
8. The "Opener" refers to the first day of deer season. It’s a religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.
9. We open doors for women. That applies to all women, regardless of age.
10. No, there’s no "vegetarian special" on the menu. Order steak. Or you can order the Chef’s Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham and turkey.
11. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats, vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: salt, pepper, and picante sauce. Oh, yeah…we don’t give a damn what you folks in Cincinnati call that crap you eat… It AIN’T REAL CHILI!! Chili was born and bred in San Antonio…. And real chili never met a tomato – OR BEANS!
12. You bring "coke" into my house, it better be brown, wet, and served over ice. You bring "Mary Jane" into my house, she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.
13. High School Football is as important here as the Lakers and the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch!
14. Yeah, we have golf courses. Don’t hit the water hazards – it spooks the fish!
15. Colleges? Try Texas A&M or the University of Texas. They come outta there with an education plus a love for God and country, and they still wave at passing pickups when they come for the holidays!
16. We have more folks in the Navy, Army, Marines, and Air Force than any other state, so "Don’t Mess with Texas." If you do, it will get your butt whooped by the best. Remember we have access to bombers, tanks and helicopters — and we know how to use them.
17. Always remember what our great governor Sam Houston once said: "Texas can make it without the United States, but the United States can’t make it without Texas!"
