I stopped reading when he said he went to baylor. They all put their collective lips on aggy butt last year. aggy saved nothing. Money did. Now UT has alot more money, and aggy doesnt like it. Just go and take baylor with you.
Taps, From the link Rio provided: "The Baylors (my alma mater) and Iowa States have no other choice but to swear allegiance to Dodds, but the Aggies had another option. Who's to say the SEC would hold the door open for the Ags in the future if they decided to remain in what appears to be the shakiest of conferences?
He is talking about Case Western and how tough they are now to crack. They are the new Wofford. Freaking W-sips.
I'm not sure... but I THINK what Pickens is trying to say is that all the top programs are in the West, and that he feels that the Eastern division would be the "weak sister". Which to me is really an odd thing to say, since it makes it sound like he thinks OSU can't compete with the West until it beats the West. Hmmm... yeah, it's gibberish.
Then why didn't he just use the analogy of the old Big XII north and south divisions? The south routinely owned the north, so it was said that all of the GOOD teams (UT, blow-u, okie lite) were in the south. The guy needs to step away from his moonshine bottle before giving an interview.
In the beginning, the Big-12 North was supposed to be the better division. Really didnt work out that way. UT and OU were not that goog but Nebraska and Colorado were. Things change.
