TellMeYouLove, Surly you have forgotten! You said the Big 8 only had 2 teams worth a flip? My my how you forget.
1.Nebraska, back to back National Champs early in Big 12
2. Oklahoma many championships always in the elite conversations
3. Colorado. National championship and some very salty teams for the next decade or so
4. Missouri was tough as nails in those days
5. Kansas State. Bill Snyder was there and at the peak of his magic. He flirted with elite status off and on
6. Iowa State had some very tough teams
7. OSU Jimmy Johnson had them flying high. Before Miami. They were a force to be reckoned with and Les Miles did a great job there as well
One sorry team at that time Kansas, and they had some competitive years
Where did you come up with this Big 8 Slouch stuff. When the t
Big 12 came together it was the toughest conference in my opinion
That bunch of teams was a bunch of big tough slobber knockers when the new conference was formed
how often were Okla and Nebraska the top two teams in the conference? Answer: most of the time. The records don't lie. The 1980s were not banner years.
Everything else you're suggesting is anecdotal. A few of those teams had good seasons but the best Okla State team couldn't beat Baylor.
We agreed to take a mismatched representation of teams based on questionable state school politics.
We are now paying for it as they are dangling our money over our head.
