Why wouldn't he try to save the conference?  That IS his job.  But there are certain things out of his control, UT and OU leaving is one of them.  What the f*** was he supposed to do?  Give Texas and Oklahoma bigger slices of the Big 12 pie?  

Why didn't he have the conversation with the Pac-10 about a merger prior to OU and UT exiting? He may have, I don't know, it just seems that he is in panic mode ever since it became public. Maybe everything is coming out now that was being done behind the scenes before.

He should have found ways to get everyone in the Big 12 more money, not just those 2.

TBH, my thinking right now is that the Big 12 saves the ship and invites members from the AAC and/or MWC.  

I think the Big 12 is toast and Bowlsby is doing whatever he can to save his job.

To his credit, he was called out when some thought Kofi was transferring out and things looked a lot worse for them.

She's a winner.  Anyone can see that.  😊  New day in Bloomington!

Don't jump to that conclusion until we are sure she hasn't been married to 5fouls.

They left out the villainous portrayal of the cows.  Marketing such a gentle and harmless animal out to be a herd of sadistic and soulless beasts is a travesty of the truth.  

Please leave the Purdue Coeds out of this argument.

Beautiful partner.

 

I will throw my Congratulations in here as well, but my happiest days were the births of my 3 kids.

I remember the good ole days of the Olympics when the big controversy was always about some country boycotting along with all the men that were on East Germany's women's team.

They don't have to hide this anymore.

Kofi to UK?

Cal's NIL sales pitch... "Did sleeping with your sister cause you Kofi Cockburn? These rednecks would buy toothpaste if they thought it would get rid of that."

Uh...no

Wasn't Jay Bruce and the other guy that hit a ton of home runs on the all star team?

EDIT: Missed the word Start. Nevermind on my guess.

Michigan? Not sure the fans are confident in Harbaugh.

Not sure how they feel in Austin about Sarkisian,  but maybe you are right there. 

 

Alabama and OSU, I can not refute you there.  Lol

Harbaugh seems to be like 5Fouls and marriages. Great at first, then as time goes by, it quickly becomes obvious a divorce is necessary.

I know, we wear Crimson glasses here, Mike Woodson has yet to coach a game etc. But I was just thinking.....

Is there another University that has a pair of coaches that is offering as much optimism and confidence as the two men we have leading our two big programs?

Off the top of my head, nobody comes to mind.

 

 

Alabama, Ohio State, Michigan, and Texas off the top of my head.

I went to a terrible zoo yesterday.
it only had one dog.
it was a Shih Tzu.

He had a very small wingspan for a 7 footer. 

I remember this:

During the Purdue game, Vitale had this to say about Indiana's 7-foot center, Todd Lindeman: "He's not a real true 7-footer. He may be 7-foot in size, but he's also got that big, big, like, the neck and the head, and therefore he loses a couple of inches versus a true 7-footer with the long arms."

Shortly after that Vitale realized Coach was messing with him.

I dont know if it mean more wins but the last 3 nights CMW has been in late. Never seen Archie here after 6pm

Archie had a hot wife and a daughter to raise. Who is to say he wasn't working at home as well?

Let me think about this.  Tyra Buss graduated a couple of years ago.  Otherwise, she would be the obvious choice.

Jordan Geronimo.  I think the coaching change has more of a positive impact on him than anyone else.  

If you liked Tyra, you should check out the thread on the Lady Stetson Beach Volleyball team starting on page 121 in this thread -> A long meandering debate about Luke Brown (not the next Damon Bailey) and various other off-topic discussions 

I thought Luke Brown was just code to throw the mods off.

That's what football schools do to get more fans to watch the basketball team.

You have to take the leap when a school with that much tradition calls....but man it can backfire. 

Agreed. Imagine what Duke would be today had K left after a few years for UCLA, Kansas, Kentucky, or UNC.

I have been saying the last few years that Duke would keep it in the Duke family

bluegrassIU prefers that approach.

Wow!  I'm not too surprised but am surprised they announced it this early.  Farewell tour I guess.

Then how long before the "Brad's out in Boston and he misses coaching so he's going to step down as president there and come back to college" rumors start....

I blame you for starting it.
