Why not (Insert Hilarious School Suggestion)?

Strike in the heart of B1G country and get a very tough team. Texas and OU HAVE to play them late in the season...in Toledo...every year.

It would be great for Ohio recruiting which is way better in quantity than Louisiana and the B1G started all this ****, so there's that.

Of course, most want to tailgate in New Orleans instead of Toledo - who knew??

................really?

If we are getting an Ohio team it will be Cincinnati.

I would love for Florida A&M to join the Big 12. This would be huge in terms of recruiting in Florida. Also just think of the TV market that we would get form the entire state because of how much everyone there follows Florida A&M. This is what our conference needs!

Please....please...tell me this is a joke....

Why is it called the Glass Bowl?

Maybe we could sell them our old scoreboard

 

[aeroclone]

Well, at least we wouldn't be the ones being accused of having a high school stadium...

I think I'll start a thread about Kent State.

And then another about Bowling Green... Oh wait I don't need the credits..

Why is it called the Glass Bowl?

Because it's clearly bowled in... with glass... which is why we can't see the expanded capacity :twitcy:

Toledo has a long history with the glass industry. Known as the "glass city".

Only if Tulane is a .....well, yeah, yeah, I think it's probably gotta almost definitely be a . Damn the injustice of Sinsanasty over blue collar Toledo. Damn it all.

Edit: OK, show me a picture and stadium capacity for Tulane for comparison shopping. I like to get a good deal.

 

[tejasclone]

I don't think so.

Why isn't Kirkwood getting any looks for the Big 12?

Tulane I believe plays home games in the Superdome. Advantage Tulane.

I don't think so.

Holy Crap-poly! Tulane plays in the Louisiana Superdome and home of the Sugar Bowl. Sign them up now!

76,468 drunken vomiting Bourbon Street fans -- can you say sweet as sugar and as Saintly as New Orleans football?

Beam me up Scottie, I've had one too many Hurricanes...No not the real ones Mr. Spock, the alcoholic equivalent...Mr. Spock, I need an airbag...

Texas would sell that place out every year and get recruiting into SEC territory to offset SEC getting into Texas territory. Maybe some of the other southern schools would sell it out also.

ISU needs to get a permanent away game there in December for recruiting advantages. Right up until Tulane beats ISU, then might have to stop that ****.

Just in case you don't know what the Superdome looks like from Katrina coverage, here's a linky:

This! Plus it gets us another 'A&M' which the Big 12 is now lacking.
