ESPN is just now picking this up? Come on espn you be slow! hes been doing it for liek 3 months now.
OU trumpets their NMS numbers every chance they get.
In other news, it appears that Gundy is barring Wes Lunt from transferring to Southern Miss (where Monken went) or any SEC school.
I don't agree with that. Let the kid go where he wants.
Wow, blocking transfers to every conference. That's brutal. Let the kid leave, he's not going to play for you either way.
Is that a Big 10 joke?
Ah, right. Didn't notice that. I wonder why the only conference he'll allow is the B1G? Don't they have a lot of bowl tie-ins with the Big 12?
RT @ZachKerker Asked Leonard if OSU has provided any reason on blocks, "they could play in bowl games?" Was his reply
Guess that's his high school coach
That's some weak shit. Chances are even if he does transfer to one of those schools they wouldn't end up playing each other in a bowl.
Best reason of all why Alabama was the correct choice over that inferior OSU school in 2011:
Alabama has let players transfer to Auburn (Corey Grant).
Even had the chance to play a previous back up QB the following year after he transferred (Star Jackson transferred to Georgia State, and Georgia State played the following year, but Star Jackson wasn't good enough to start for them, transferred again the following year).
This kid could try the Darren Sentimore way: He was at Alabama for a year, transferred to JUCO, then transfers a year later to Tennessee.

It's my understanding that this is irrelevant, because if Alabama hadn't released him, then he'd be unable to be on scholarship for 2 years. Sentimore went to JUCO for grades/disciplinary reasons.
Well it's missing the ACC and it's evil doppleganger AAC, but does have the MAC and the CUSA covered.
Can we send Colorado to this every year? (Like in the agreement.)

They would first have to contact the NCAA about waiving the 6 win minimum prerequisite for bowl eligibility.
That's the way it should be.
So he can go Ivy League at least. Are they even comparable any fbs conferences like Mac mountain west?
UCLA already blazed that trail. B)

After watching Star Trek today I came to the conclusion that JJ Abrams is the Urban Meyer of scifi franchises
Both come into ailing franchises, resurrect them (2 national championships, 2 successful films) then they both jump ship to their true loves.

A live broadcast of UT's graduation ceremony is on LHN! All the fun of watching a graduation ceremony from the comfort of your home! Hey theres Vince Young.
You really got nothing better to do with your time?
Between this and the stellar performance of the major UT athletics programs this year, it's no wonder LHN is a massive success.

I can't sit through graduation ceremonies in person so I sure as hell wouldn't watch it on television. I watched it for like 3 minutes to see how they were broadcasting it. I'm sure highlighting Vince Young in the graduating class brought in the ratings. a .000001 share?

Hey now, we won the women's volleyball national championship! And our men's golf team is going for back to back championships!
...yeah, we're awful in football and men's basketball.

don't forget baseball. This year we became the first team in big12 history to lose every single conference series in a season. Considering broadcasting numerous baseball home games on LHN was a big part of the deal, I'm sure they aren't too happy about how bad that team sucks.
Also, the top 8 baseball teams in the big12 get to compete in the big12 tournament. We finished in 9th place, and there are only 9 baseball teams in the big 12.
Volleyball ( and maybe mens golf/softball? ) are the sole bright spots in an otherwise disastrous athletics program.
edit: In other news, Case McCoy left on a mission trip today and won't be back for 10 weeks. He's gonna herp and derp across the world to spread the good news
What the hell happened over the past couple of years? Augie Garrido's job is still safe, right?
(Congrats on the softball regional win, btw, grumble)
Interesting thoughts from David Ubben on the Gundy/Lunt saga:
http://m.espn.go.com/general/blogs/blogpost?blogname=big12&id=67351&src=desktop
He makes some good points, and I agree that the biggest worry is the potential PR hit. I still think Lunt is making a huge mistake by transferring, and I also think there's still a chance he changes his mind and stays.

Guys, I think ChiTown actually meant it when he said he quit.
Now I feel bad about giving him crap. Hopefully he comes back and just sticks with CFBGAF. Gaming side is dangerous as are political threads.
Everyone, Microsoft is announcing the next Xbox tomorrow, so be on your best behavior if you decide to venture into gaming side.

Without ChiTown we lose a significant amount of flavor in CFB GAF.
Otherwise it's just a bunch of Bama, OSU, and Florida fans!

and a couple of AAC FANS.
AAC AAC AAC.
Only game I've been playing is Fire Emblem recently. Consoles are now for Netflix.
That's true, we have a bunch of FSU fans, that one Duke guy, and that one Clemson guy.

Its funny that Bama/OSU are basically 2 vocal fans for those team each. While we get new gata lifelong what seems like every week.
Truth. Though I had just started to enjoy Demon Souls when my PS3 YLODed on me.
Don't forget the thousands of domers that flooded our threads last year.

You're forgetting about that one NC State guy who also pulls for 8 other teams.
HEY! Some of those schools would otherwise be underrepresented. Like the Gatas.

Looks like Moore, Oklahoma was leveled. Hope there weren't any casualties today
From looking at the photos, that would take an absolute miracle, but I feel that casualty count is going to be ridiculously high.

So we're about 12 hours away from GAF crashing. Thank goodness Microsoft's reveal, Sony's reveal, and E3 all occur in the offseason.
I love how our recruiting tactics are 85% desperation, 10% delusions of grandeur and 5% that personal touch. Nothing says 1st rate like 150 handwritten letters. Wouldn't it be less effort to cheat?
