It isn't about Texas.
"This is not a case of reacting to any one school,'' Osborne said, "particularly Texas.''
Will Congress get involved with realignment.
Consider college football a bunch of kids playing in the backyard during a grown-ups party, until things get a little too rowdy and the little kids get hurt. Then the parents come out back and yell, "Hey! Knock that off!"
Playing the role of angry parents claiming to hold a trump card: Congress.
Where does everyone stand?
Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, Texas Tech
Life could be good as Texas' hangers-on. Any move by the Longhorns will be made simpler if they bring their natural rivals with them, and that means these guys -- plus Oklahoma State.
What will the new divisions of the PAC-10 look like?
Will the Big 12 be on a farewell tour this fall?
"I've seen a projection that the Pac-16 wouldn't start play until 2012-2013. But if the Big 12 essentially dissolves, I can't see conference schools going through the motions for two more seasons. Even if this goes together quickly, I think we see a Big 12 farewell tour in 2010. Get good deals on souvenirs now."
A&M is the prettiest girl in the room.
The candidate floated about as the big prize in expansion right now has continually been texas, because of their successful athletic program and wealthy athletic department, but texas actually makes for a poor candidate for expansion, mostly because texas doesn't want to join a new conference; they want the status quo to remain the way it is, because they like being the wealthiest program in the Big 12, and they want to start their own television network. The really big prize in the proposed conference expansion right now could be Texas A&M.

Fox Sports has a Q&A with Landry Jones.
t’s been a series of streaks. Is it possible for one team to have a mental edge over another in a game like Texas/OU?
In a rivalry game, everyone’s going to be ready to play, especially OU/Texas. It’s one of the biggest rivalries in sports history, period. So sure, they can have a mental edge, but everyone’s going to be ready to play, and everyone’s going to go out there and play their hardest.
How did you feel walking off the field after the
game last year? Was it a different feeling than some of the other losses you suffered? Texas
Everyone says a loss is a loss, but not in that game. It’s kind of personal in that game because it’s such a huge rivalry.
