stories surfacing again tonight about BYU and the Big 12 expanding to 12 along with Louisville and WVU too. A real shame that fate is not gonna allow us to sneak into the Big 12 somehow. Not only that, if Bevo does take 2 Big East schools, we are hit in the nuts by them again. around every turn. I bet TCU is pushing real hard for UL and WVU in the Big 12 too, rather than us or Houston. Louisville is a pretty boring choice, they got whipped again today.

If the Big XII does decide to expand and chooses to ignore SMU and UH I am desperately hoping that BYU is one of their selections so that the Big East minimizes its losses.

Either way, I feel like it's been guaranteed for a while that WVU and Louisville will be gone. It's a shame too, they'll get throttled in the Big XII and all of the rumored additions to the Big East would have made for great divisions.

Standard procedure here...I can't believe Nacho, an Aggie fan, would not realize what is going on. It's EXACTLY the same dance that happens every time - no one acknowledges anything until it's officially official.
There is way, way too much smoke for there to be no invitations...and I am extremely confident that we have one. The next week will be very exciting...
