Bob Stoops supports Arkansas in Big XII

[CYber_saber]

“I just feel personally that they would be excellent in the Big 12,” Stoops said Wednesday on Sports Talk. “Geographically, where they’re located — can you imagine the series with Oklahoma and Oklahoma State every year? Also, Texas, TCU, all the teams there in the (Texas) area.”

I wouldn't mind them joining along with Cincinnati. They're never going to do anything being in the SEC West with Alabama, LSU, Texas A&M. I could see them wanting to join the big 12

No thanks.

I'd consider taking Missouri back (they were there in the Missouri Valley to Big 6 to Big 8/12 days), but TX and Oklahoma schools are enough southern/SW schools, don't need to add SE schools. One Midwest+Great Plains outlier in WVU is adequate.

It's not a bad add, and if the superconferences actually happen I think they are a good choice, but regionally I would rather not.

Versus other choices, I'd take 'em in a heartbeat.

I would love Arkansas in the B12.

 

[IASTATE07]

I've always said I'd pick LSU and Arkansas to the Big 12. Will never happen, but we should stay at 10 unless we can make an add like that.

 

[alarson]

Its not gonna happen, but if they expressed interest of course you say yes. Theyre better than most of the candidates that were named in the last round of expansion discussions

Okay, if we have to expand, I'll take it.

Now this actually makes sense vs the terrible idea of adding Houston.

Not sure Ark plus anyone else available is a net positive, but it is one of the better adds. Just no Houston. No need to try to recreate the Southworst conference.

 

[DeereClone]

For the overall conference they would be a good addition, but for us I would rather see a northern team added for better geographical balance. Being the far north outlier is dangerous - the more we can add up here the better.

Arkansas and Mizzou, to rebalance divisions, and I’m in.

 

[CTTB78]

What, is "Big Game Bob" taking Boren's place?

This makes the most sense. (For now anyway)

Jack Trice Stadium to Arrowhead Stadium: 229 miles
Reynolds Razorback Stadium to Arrowhead Stadium: 231 miles

Just sayin'.

I support free meals and free health care and other free stuff. Free internet....it is a human rights issue.

Is Arkansas conference insecure?

I would support the University of Central Missouri at Columbia for the Big 12.....but Melissa Click clicked that up. Thanks.

**** Bob Stoops.

Probably not, but the fat man is probably looking over his shoulder.

 

[BWRhasnoAC]

Arkansas and Minnesota would be a dream scenario.

 

[Cyclone5050]

I've read posts on here that Colorado was regretting leaving for the PAC-10. Wonder if they would come back too? I'd take Arkansas in a heartbeat, they'd fit right in IMHO.
