What's so funny @cyrocksmypants ? There is no BIG or Pac-12 invite coming, at least not yet. He worded everything very carefully the way Jamie does best. We can prove ourselves to get a spot at the big boy table in four years IF the Big 12 still sticks with this as long as we can while making OU and UT pay. OU and UT are not sticking around after this season, but the other 8 can at least make a good chunk of money and hold out as long as possible to get an invite elsewhere. He's putting all his eggs in the Matt Campbell basket that he can own the next few years of this conference and hopefully make us a viable option/brand come the end of this sinking ship after the GOR. Nobody else can bolt the conference though in that timeframe, so it's a tricky game.

I was laughing at your hilarious attempt of reading body language.

Well that's awkward because I actually took several communication courses and specifically non-verbal courses while at school. Am I an expert? Hell no and don't claim to be. But there are things you can pick up on if you study even basic non-verbal communication a bit. I am just giving my opinion on what I saw and what I know. Take it or leave it. Just how you can give your opinion too, although I won't address some of your opinions so crudely. Have a nice day sir.

ISU to SEC. book it.
I can see it now:

SEC: "OK Iowa State we will let you in."
ISU: "YES!!!!"
SEC: "One condition is we need cannon fodder, so your schedule will be Bama, OU, Georgia, Florida, Texas A&M, LSU, Auburn and Texas on the road every year."
ISU: "Oh...ok then...we accept"

Then Campbell embarrasses them all and the SEC kicks us out.

Yeah, that video did not instill any confidence. At least not in a good solution happening any time soon.

But if we can milk money from TX and OU on their way out, that's a consolation prize, I guess. And then there will be time to see how this all shakes out.

Most important thing now is winning. I didn't think it would drag out, but I think that just means the B1G and PAC12 just aren't that interested right now.
