Baylor and Texas A&M are in a spat because
A&M wants to leave the Big 12 for the SEC. Baylor is holding this up by threatening to sue. Now there is a billboard up:


Baylor is a Baptist U and KEN STARR is the President. Yep that Ken Starr. If Gawd does take a side, I hope it is to smite Starr.

1. if there is a God
wouldn't he be more preoccupied with more important things like I don't know, child slavery, slavery in all kinds, war, rape, loss of freedom...

but no, the first on God's shitlist in Baylor for being pissed about the big 12

Jesus Christ (pun intended)

2. I said IF Gawd takes a side.
IF
I don't presume to know if he cares.

4. Because college football is professional big business operating under "amateur" rules.
A plague on all their houses!

5. Well, frankly I don't blame Baylor,
A&M is being a crybaby because Texas got a deal that they didn't.

That being said, I imagine that the end of the Big XII is coming shortly. A&M will find some way out of this, and I imagine that Oklahoma is going to jump, taking Okie State with them. After that, the rest of the pack is going to scrambling like rats getting off a sinking ship, probably led by Missouri.

We'll see. A&M might very well be thwarted by Baylor's move, and OK's AD, Castiglione still seems committed to the Big XII. We'll see. I think that it will be a big mistake to break up the Big XII, it has a long and storied tradition with lots of great rivalries. Hopefully some sort of deal can be made that will satisfy everybody, and frankly, that has to begin with TV revenue sharing, screw whatever Texas thinks.

6. Ken Starr's mother is buried a few miles down the road from me.
There is a Starr Cemetery.

8. This is a Photoshop
Can't believe the media outlets haven't done their homework.

It's still in the works:
