It has been reported throughout the day that the current Big 12 school, Texas, is currently having "preliminary exchanges" with the Big Ten and it's need for expansion. Most Buckeye fans, including other Big Ten schools, like this idea, or so we think. Personally, I would love the idea, because it seems every so often, Texas and Ohio State duke it out for the top spot. So this automatically makes the conference THAT much tougher on us, and we can continue to do better in bowl games. In this case, it would not only help the Big Ten, but also help Texas. The past year has led to a nice little downfall for Big 12 fans, and this would seem like a good time to get out. Unlike last time, this story HAS a source, and may in fact, become true.
Don't think for a minute that even if this does happen, that Texas will easily be able to take care of business in the Big Ten. The people who say we are slow saw us take down an LSU, Oregon, GT, and almost Auburn. Please, haters, shh. Anyway, as Jeff said over at tBBC, Penn State was supposed to demoralize and bring down the Big Ten. Obviously, you've seen how that's been going. This would also provide (maybe) a new rival for Ohio State. Besides winning the Big Ten for another straight year, Michigan is having some down years, and Penn State eventually loses to another school. In my eyes, this is the perfect, or motherload, if you will. Notre Dame would be my second choice, but really, who wants this guy? Stay tuned for more information, and please, give us your thoughts as to who you think should join the Big Ten, and if you would like Texas. Texas most certainly has our vote.
Hopefully one of the few times I have to post this picture. At least, until (if) they join the Big Ten
