and got worse as the game continued.

And they need to let Robinson run more. To many air or jump balls(week arm)

Yeah, I think Al Borges is gonna utilize more of his talents when needed. I will say his arm did not look weak at all though when that ND defender had his legs wrapped up and he through a dart with arm only to Hemingway. That play showed what a player he really is.

The good thing about Robinson is he showed he CAN pass effectively......speed never has a slump so if he gets in trouble he can always run, but nice to see him throw it well.

Just got this on Rivals College Football

Oklahoma will apply for membership to the Pac-12 before the end of the month, and Oklahoma State is expected to follow suit, a source close to OU’s administration told Orangebloods.com.

Even though Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott said Friday the Pac-12 was not interested in expansion at this time, OU’s board of regents is fed up with the instability in the Big 12, the source said.

The OU board of regents will meet within two weeks to formalize plans to apply for membership to the Pac-12, the source said.

Messages left Sunday night with OU athletic director Joe Castiglione and Oklahoma State athletic director Mike Holder were not immediately returned.

If OU follows through with what appears to be a unanimous sentiment on the seven-member Oklahoma board of regents to leave the Big 12, realignment in college athletics could be heating back up. OU’s application would be matched by an application from Oklahoma State, the source said, even though OSU president Burns Hargis and mega-booster Boone Pickens both voiced their support for the Big 12 last Thursday.

There is differing sentiment about if the Pac-12 presidents and chancellors are ready to expand again after bringing in Colorado and Utah last year and landing $3 billion TV contracts from Fox and ESPN. Colorado president Bruce Benson told reporters last week CU would be opposed to any expansion that might bring about east and west divisions in the Pac-12.

Currently, there are north and south divisions in the Pac-12. If OU and OSU were to join, Larry Scott would have to get creative.

Scott’s orginal plan last summer was to bring in Colorado, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State and put them in an eastern division with Arizona and Arizona State. The old Pac-8 schools (USC, UCLA, Cal, Stanford, Oregon, Oregon State, Washington and Washington State) were to be in the west division.

Colorado made the move in June 2010, but when Texas A&M was not on board to go west, the Big 12 came back together with the help of its television partners (ABC/ESPN and Fox).

If Oklahoma and Oklahoma State were accepted into the Pac-12, there would undoubtedly be a hope by Larry Scott that Texas would join the league.
Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe held an emergency conference call 10 days ago with league presidents excluding Oklahoma, Texas and Texas A&M and asked the other league presidents to “work on Texas” because Beebe didn’t think the Pac-12 would take Oklahoma without Texas.

Now, it appears OU is willing to take its chances with the Pac-12 with or without Texas.

There seemed to be a temporary pause in any possible shifting of the college athletics’ landscape when Baylor led a charge to tie up Texas A&M’s move to the Southeastern Conference in legal red tape. BU refused to waive its right to sue the SEC over A&M’s departure from the Big 12, and the SEC said it would not admit Texas A&M until it had been cleared of any potential lawsuits.

Baylor, Kansas and Iowa State have indicated they will not waive their right to sue the SEC.

It’s unclear if an application by OU to the Pac-12 would draw the same threats of litigation against the Pac-12 from those Big 12 schools.

Stay tuned.

That will be the straw that broke the camels back..........everyone will have to find a home after that one lol

Oh boy, the crap is getting ready to hit the fan. Who would have thought the Big 12 would be no more. Sad really. :(

Dr Jkel · 09-12-2011, 12:45 PM

Seems like everyone is mad at Texas and this new Longhorn network. Trying to read between the lines it seems that the money is not even in the conference and people are upset about it.

Yep, that is what I have been reading as well. Texas better step up quick, or it's all gonna collapse. It's probably already too late.

I can't say I ever had strong feelings about the Big12, nothing like I had for the Big8 anyway. PAC12 or SEC, I don't really care we (OU) land. I hope we keep the annual game vs TX but I don't care that we may end up in different conferences. Every school has to do what's best for them and UT has a lot more to think about than we do, especially with the LHN/ESPN ties.

As much as the extra travel might occasionally hurt the fan following for some schools, the broader recruiting exposure could be fun.

OU never realy had a problem with he Longhorn Network. At least not that I recall.

It's just there's an implosion occuring and like I said in earlier posts, you gotta git in where you can fit in.

Dr Jkel · 09-12-2011, 02:14 PM

OU will be fine in the PAC 12/14/16 because their program is solid and strong...Texas is trying to rebuild right now, OK St looks strong.

It has been said that OU and Ok St is a package deal so if one goes both go. Texas is just getting handled right now over this and they better think about all this. But texas could go independent like ND........

The issue with coming to the SEC is A LOT of strong teams Florida, Alabama, LSU, Arkansas, sometimes Auburn, Miss St, South Carolina and the occassional Georgia. While they may not all be good at one time for the most part you have several teams that compete at a high level each year. Unlike most conferences.

OU is a top tier team and can stand on their own, unlike Baylor, Iowa St etc.....OK St has T.Boone Pickens so they are good.......the lesser teams in the conference seem to think they are being left out because they do not play on the field as well and miss out on som erevenues from what it appears especiallthe LHN/Espn Deal.

To bad all this shuffling of conferences couldn't kill the bcs and bring on a playoff system.
