No PAC-16 and Texas has an easier road than ever

While we are pretty confident that Utah will jump to the PAC-10 before all is said and done this initial round of expansion is over. As it would be with anything else of this nature expansion has left us with some winners and losers so here is how we see it.

WINNERS

1. Nebraska- The Huskers escape the oppressive totalitarian regime of the University of Texas, escape to a conference with much more money, will get a larger share of that money, and should walk in as the most dominant force in football in that conference. The quality of Big 10 football is not very good. The inexplicable voodoo that the Buckeyes posses over the other Big 10 teams should not affect Nebraska and the Cornhuskers should propel themselves into the National Title hunt year in and year out. Geographically, demographically, and culturally the Huskers fit into the Big 10 better than they ever fit into the Big 12. P.S. don't challenge Dr. Thomas William "Tom" Osborne to a penis size contest unless you are prepared to have him whip his out at which point you had better be slinging an anaconda or you will loose.

2. The Big-10- Finally a championship game, and they added a decent football program. The only possible problem is they may have allowed a team in that will dominate the other 11 members.

3. Colorado- They have the money to fire Hawkins and are now in a conference that they can at least compete in, football wise. Plus they can share all their weed and communist propaganda with their sister schools.

4. The SEC- The premium brand in collegiate athletics used the prospect of invading the state of Texas to scare the Longhorns off of a PAC-16 super conference. In addition to a temporary halt of the super-conference the SEC avoided sullying its brand by quickly absorbing any of the low hanging ACC fruit and thus diluting waters of superiority that the SEC enjoys.

5. Texas- They get the same money, the only kid on the play ground that would stand up to them is in the Big 10 now, and they can tell everyone they saved the Big 12.

LOSERS

1. Missouri- Jilted at the proverbial alter, Mizzou must now further endure the indentured servitude of being a yeoman program for their landholder masters in Texas. They will now have to endure the ridicule of their peers as Texas has already posted nasty comments about Mizzou on facebook and Oklahoma has been passing notes in study hall that calls Mizzou a fat slut.

2. The PAC 10- Now they have to add Utah to get a championship game and with no USC for the next few years their conference will be even less relevant.

3. The Big 12- We all know the T.V. contract will never pan-out. They loose their championship game, one historically powerful program, and another program that always had the stickiest of the ickey.

4. Basic Math and Geography Skillz- The Big 10 is now a 12 team conference, the Big 12 is a 10 team conference, the Pac-10 has 11 teams, the ACC has an Atlantic and a Coastal- G.T. is neither on the Atlantic or the coast, and while out west TCU is not located atop any sort of a mountain.
