MONTICELLO buy cheap cialis without a prescription, Ark.– With the next gold rush facing college football, Texas sits in the unlikely position of riding shotgun.
Many of you old-time fans will consider this next to heresy, i.e; buy cheap cialis without a prescription.the Texas Longhorns move and shake college athletics.Texas has always been at the forefront of change buy cheap cialis without a prescription, leading the charge, driving the show.
Not now.
Sure, Texas likely started “The Break-up” of the Big 12 when it insisted on having its own television network (aided by “sidekick” ESPN, which is always happy to air a reality show). Buy cheap cialis without a prescription: to hear Nebraska put it, the Longhorns initiated the prequel, too. Buy cheap cialis without a prescription: in always looking out for what’s best for Texas, the university in hippie-town steps on a lot of toes just before saying, “You shoulda watched where ya’s steppin’!”
But it looks like the Longhorns lumbered into a large cow patty and haven’t quite noticed the steam startin’ to rise.
For once, it seems the ‘horns lose the quick-draw scenario.Little brother A&M took its show south (and east).Oklahoma and its little brother seem to be heading west. Buy cheap cialis without a prescription: what’s a superpower to do?
- Independent status would never suit the steers as the program is so big it needs conference affiliation for all of those “other” sports besides football.
- ACC and Pac 12 membership both present too big of a financial strain for traveling.Snicker if you will, but the continual rising costs of transportation make any rational person consider, then reconsider the need to go places; buy cheap cialis without a prescription. Buy cheap cialis without a prescription: granted, no one ever claimed the Longhorns always act rational.
- Texas destroyed the old SWC and now the Big 12 with its “my way or the highway” attitude toward the rest of its conference brethren.Just like A&M tired of the Longhorns’ shadow, Arkansas jumped at the chance to bolt the SWC and the Texas footprint a generation ago; buy cheap cialis without a prescription. Buy cheap cialis without a prescription: then the ‘horns just took their show north; now, it’s not unreasonable to believe some conferences will question if they need the attitude.
What conference could handle the attitude? What conference presents the least financial strain if the Big 12 does not survive? What conference provides excellence in multiple sports and increasingly in the classroom?
Oh you know …but hear me out.
Regents at the University of Oklahoma and the University of Texas will meet Monday to decide their play in conference expansion; buy cheap cialis without a prescription.(Again, Texas followed rather than led …is this becoming a habit?)
Most likely they’ll announce an attempt to keep the Big 12 together by adding Air Force, BYU and Louisville or, if they need to dip into the old SWC for help, Houston or SMU.
But maybe Texas tires of following script.Maybe it decides the way to truly be among the big boys will be to play the big boys all the time; buy cheap cialis without a prescription.Where can they do that?
You know the answer.
Sure, they’d have to follow lil’ brother to the dance - buy cheap cialis without a prescription.But they could bring along their own partners by persuading Missouri and Kansas to join the ride.Why those two? All of a sudden, SEC universities in the prestigious American Association of Universities would increase from three (Vanderbilt, Florida and A&M) to six and take the conference from a little less than a quarter of members to a little more than a third, i.e; buy cheap cialis without a prescription.a “respectable” upgrade.Remember buy cheap cialis without a prescription, university presidents and chancellors dote/vote on this sort of thing.
Assuming it would be willing to reconsider how its TV network would operate, Texas would jump back into the driver’s seat on the expansion highway.The ‘horns would love seeing the Aggies fall from the biggest story in the new SEC to an afterthought - buy cheap cialis without a prescription.The SEC West schedule would make the entire NFL schedule look weak.
No backroom sources gave me this information.Like many of you, I’ve followed the story from afar through regional sports sections on most SEC teams, Mr; buy cheap cialis without a prescription.SEC, Sports Illustrated and even ESPN - buy cheap cialis without a prescription. Buy cheap cialis without a prescription: i wouldn’t bet the house on this happening …but I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if it did.Call it a gut feeling based on a little common sense.
When a fella gets used to driving all the time buy cheap cialis without a prescription, it’s tough riding shotgun.
