Is Rice Smaller than it Really Is?

With my 20th Postseason being this Winter, and I feel Rice is smaller than it really is in spite of recent successes. And, I feel there has to be more of an effort of having Rice's Traditional Rivals back on line again.

It would make it easier to replace Rice Stadium in the future, and the constant jangling of Conference Realignment would not be constant. And, with this day being a bone of contention, with having to get hands-on with Conference Realignment sooner rather than later, I feel this is a meaningful discussion.

And, I feel we'd need to focus on Conference Realignment to avoid Northern Iowa getting Duty Taxed, to avoid having to keep running certain programs, and to encourage attendance and new College Sports Programs.

And, I feel that sense has to happen. And, I feel what would such an outlet make if it exists?

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.
