However it shakes out for the Buffs, it would be nice to have seen the last of nebraska.
**** ths noise. I love beating the huskers. Playing them is the only thing I would miss from the big 12.
Good point. Trash talk and hating the Huskers certainly out weighs anything the Pac 10 might have to offer. Just think. Who would CU love to hate and make tractor, overall and toothless jokes about in the Pac 10?

Washington State would fit that bill pretty nicely.

even if we are in the pac, making fun of nebraska will always be easy enough.
Making fun of nebraska is a cottage industry in Colorado. It's easy. There are so many opportunities.
Look on the bright side, if CU goes to the Pac, you can have CSU in the big 12. Fair trade? Not really. But at least all the toothless overall-wearing hick nebraskans will have something in common with their new "rival".

In short, yes, A&M would likely go wherever they went. I could *see* UT in the Pac and A&M in the Big 10, but I just don't think that would happen. The Horns and Aggies have been in the same league for 100 years basically. It wouldn't work, in the end.
And the BU-TT stuff has been covered, but yes, Richards was a BU alum and Tech alums were the largest (or pretty close) group in the Capitol and the Speaker was a Tech guy, so that was that. The other teams got a raw deal because they were either smaller private schools with littler legislative sway or a public commuter school (Houston) which had always been looked down on by the others (they didn't join the SEC until the 70s).
Yes, OU is a big No. 3 in DFW. I don't have the numbers on me, but alumni rolls for UT and A&M are much bigger than OU's in DFW. I'm pretty sure it's UT, A&M, a decent gap, OU, then OSU/Texas Tech neck and neck. But in terms of overall fans, it's ultimately a Texas market.
OU owns both of the Oklahoma markets, obviously, but they're something like 45 and 60 or something.
Definitely the answer is Texas. That reason is because you'd get all the Texas fans watching, plus the fans of other teams who hate them but still watch them (ala Howard Stern).
I'm not bitter or anything, but I'll tell you who got the real raw deal: the original Big 8. Lots of storied programs and rivalries that are now been ruined and ignored because of the Texass quartet. The Big 8 bailed out all 4 schools and now have championship games forever in Texas, as well as several bowl tie-ins that ensure that the Texass teams get picked over others, skewed revenue sharing that benefits UT and other Texass schools, etc.
