Meeting the Southwest 12, A Future College Sports Conference

I feel a sense of Emma like Rachel's Baby that we should find a way to put a lid to the Big XII Conference One Way Or Another. I'd call the North Division Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Arkansas, Tulsa, SMU and TCU. I'd call the South Division Texas, Texas Tech, Texas A and M, Baylor, Rice and Houston.

With Football being the crux of the Conference, I feel a special interest Oklahoma vs Texas HAS TO Stay Dallas Fort Worth and Week 1 of ALL Southwest 12 Conference Seasons. I don't want to drag too deep into minutae, but, I'd like to see a College Football Championship in Arlington as an annual title.

Frankly, I'd like to see The Star as Texas' Kemper, Madison Square and Minneapolis for College Basketball and Ice Hockey Tournaments. I want to keep it real and transparent, even seeing if Winter Indoor Track where a season long season like Basketball and Wrestling is in the Winter.

Ultimately, I want to see Sports as Fun. Even though that's the Midwest and Iowa in me, because FUN would be Grandma, Grandpa and Small Children Present, too.
With the Big XII's unsuccessful and expensive canvas from sea to shining sea, I am looking at ways to make College Sports Fun. Fun would also mean having to make plans and reservations to attend from Marion. Even though it would take making buyouts of Arkansas and Texas A and M's SEC Contracts, and having real peacemakers and not just self important people just making bucks.

I feel that either way, we can't just imagine the Big XII going down to the Big 8 without commercial and academic injuries and later losing the league altogether.

Missed Billions II

I hate to be hash happy over Last Summer, but, god knows if we don't have no no one to save us from ourselves. The one thing I could figure out due to the Major Fatigue of us Sports Fans in Golf is why the Red White and Blue had the most dominant Golf Performance in 30 Years Plus. I know that Golf is not necessarily cast in the appropriate "Gentleman's or Ladies Sport" as it should, and if it was, my peers would be playing pro even if it means playing for the 3rd Stint on Tour.

I am bitter over why some of my celebrity idols haven't been offered the roles. If Hollywood was serious about that, you'd see people with 2 or 3 Roles and Shannon Elizabeth would have been in overdrive with career roles instead of fatiguing out. The worst besides seeing another Rebecca Shafer dwarve the Law Books is another Natalie Wood is going longer than her life or Karen Carpenter being as gone as long as Elvis is.

With Golf, the ethos is for an International or World Tournament is not to be rude to the Visiting Internationals. Unless proven otherwise, it would be like the Royal Family coming to the Twin Cities. I'd feel to evade the Missed Billions again in 2020, I'd feel Olympic Golf Qualifying should be the US Amateur, and the winners of that make the plane to Tokyo and the chance to play for World Titles with their Professional Counterparts.

I am hungering for a serious challenger in major Full Season Racing Titles. With reading about Troy Coughlin, Sr. 's 3rd Attempt at a Pro Mod Championship from the Challenger Position, I want to see my Stock Car and Drag Racing Titles go full term again and even if it was an SCCA Run Off, there'd be a statement of Regular Season, Post Season, Sweep or Co or More Honors. In this telephone world, I'd almost expect Charlie Strong to be interimed out before the Red River Shootout, which in media terms, its the Red River Rivalry or official media terms, the Red River Showdown, but, the State Fair of Texas can't be shown out their stage, especially if its the 40th of the 1st "Infamous" Tie Game, the Spy Game, and the 15th of the Greatest OU Team Performance vs. Texas, much to my chagrin, and I think Mr. Gossage would go long for not just Texas-OU Angular, but, the whole State Fair of Texas until a permenant future home could be found, and I don't necessarily see South Dallas have the same future with the State Fair of Texas like they've had the past because too many fairgrounds are urban, are labyrinths and don't have the right repairs or the right money to fix them.
