Someone has predicted BS and SMU into Big 12 now that A&M is leaving:

http://www.sportsstationnews.com/texas- ... inos-fall/


"SEC gets:
Texas A&M- The ball’s already rolling on this one.
Florida State- No matter how much they scream it’s not going to happen, it makes too much sense (rivalry with Florida, proximity to LSU) and the money is too good.
Big 12 gets:
SMU- They are interested. The Big 12’s interest is uncertain. Not sure why they would want SMU, but stranger things have happened.
Boise State- This is the prize that no one’s talking about. Why not? Boise State is a hot commodity right now. They can come in off the street and be in the upper half of the conference. Also, Boise State has got to be desperate to get into the BCS, right?"


Also, another one discussing A&M leaving and predicting SMU upset:

http://www.sportsstationnews.com/texas- ... /previews/

"There’s one big game I can’t wait to watch if I can, and that is SMU vs. Texas A&M. Weird, huh? Well, not so much in light of recent events. SMU is begging the Big 12 to take them in. Texas A&M is begging the Big 12 to let them leave. What a statement game for the Mustangs if they bring down top ten Texas A&M on the road. What better way to get in the conference then to prove you belong. SMU will give A&M all they can handle. I’m smelling an upset. For one because SMU has something to prove. For two because A&M is ranked about 20 places too high."

"Of those potential upsets, I’m thinking SMU and Minnesota come out on top, but any others wouldn’t shock me. Here’s to a new season of college football!"

"SMU- They are interested. The Big 12’s interest is uncertain. Not sure why they would want SMU, but stranger things have happened." There's a ringing endorsement if I ever heard one. A whuppin on some Aggies should shut guys like this up.

I so want SMU to win this game, for many reasons, but mostly, you fans who have been here since the DP... I got to witness your excitement w/ the win over Nevada in the Hawaii Bowl and that was at the end of a season. I want to see you guys pumped from week one!

There is zero reason to bring in Boise. Boise is a TERRIBLE tv market, they don't travel well, and don't even sell out their own stadium on a consistent basis. Who the hell is going to want to fly to Boise?

Can the purple Hippo track down the flight info for the conference expansion committee?

I always found the weird sumo belt he wore to be more of an issue than the color.

What ever happened to the hippo anyway? There hasn't been a sighting in some time.
