NCAA Football '11-'12

Missou is gonna get eaten alive in the SEC.

True, but they will either grow strong, or die.  The move is a mistake on balance, I think, but I don't feel strongly that it is.

So what's the new east/west breakdown in the red state conference going to be then? Someone will have to move east presumably.

Missouri is supposedly going to the east so there won't be any problems.

[Admiral Yi]

Missouri wasn't exactly an athletic powerhouse in anything.

They've put together some decent round ball teams.

That should be *or* anything.  Sorry about that.  They've won 10 conference titles total, all sports included, which is good for.....dead last in the conference.  This apparently includes the three times they won/tied the North in football (went to the B12CG twice and got demolished twice).  They won the conference hoops tournament once.

Speaking of basketball, one thing I'd be interested in seeing is the Big XII poaching Cincy and Louisville along with WVU.  The north would be pretty awesome.  Kansas, WVU, UL, Cincy. And Kansas State hasn't sucked lately at all.  Iowa State....welp....sorry, guys.

My vanity leads me to believe the only reason they had been decent recently is because being in the Big 12 gave them access to Texas recruits.  In fact they have 35 Texans on their roster right now.  Now they have tossed that competitive advantage away and will soon go back to being horrible like they were in the Big 8 days.  Granted they go get to play in College Station every other year, but I do not think that is enough.

Even at that, it's not like they've even been consistantly good.  And as far as being better than good, when was their last conference title?  Back in the Big 8 days, I'm sure.  1980 or so, maybe?

They'll essentially be about like what South Carolina would probably be without Spurrier.

[Valmy]

West Virginia to move to the Big 12.

We shall see.

They reported it on ESPN has breaking news like it was a done deal.

Here Tim this is why nothing is a done deal until it is a done deal and why I do not post conference rumors in this thread:

1969 is their last conference championship in football.

Even worse than I figured.  But at least I was right about it being back in the Big 8 days.

Hey Valmy, as someone who is familiar with Jeff "Mad Dog" Madden, I figured you might get a kick out of what Bennie Wylie is up to these days:

  The dude is a damn monster.  The difference between this guy and that man boobed fat slob Madden is just astounding.   I'll be interested in seeing where all these freshmen are, S&C wise, after a couple of years working with Wylie.

Thank God.  Mad Dog looked more out of shape than our fanbase.

That video was awesome.  I am not sure if I wish I was a football player so I could get into that good a shape or I am glad I never played so I never had to go through workouts like that.  I mean that medicine ball push up was part of the warm up eh?

Hey do you know if he still runs out on the field with the players before the game?  I haven't looked/noticed.

I am determined to replicate this workout and get huge.  I just need an ATV and a camera crew to push around on my football field.
