sec/b10 dominance now is appalling.

Well, that's what happens when two conferences, backed by Fox and ESPN money, hoard the top schools from every power conference. The ACC is next to get raided. :|

Agreed and we need to be in on the raiding of the top schools or we are going to take a firm back seat.

I think the Big 12's best hope at this point is to get the "best of the rest" after the Big Ten and SEC pluck the top schools from the ACC. That would most likely be schools like Louisville, Pitt, Virginia Tech, and NC State. If you add those four schools to the 16 schools we already have, it is going to be hard for ESPN, Fox, and the P2 to shut us out. There are just too many good brands to ignore.

Miami would be a huge addition to the big12- I think the P2 are above adding a school with a city name.

I have heard Miami mentioned as a possible addition. That would also give UCF a "travel partner."

Don't know what to expect next season but Dylan Edwards in the house surely will be a plus in the victory total.

If Dillon just settles down and becomes a part of the Wildcat family it will be a very good situation. Let the game come to him. One thing I like about having him is that it will give us another option instead of the QB run game. Make Avery a ball distributor and keep his runs at a minimum. When Avery does take off it will be very exciting.

what i like most about dylan edwards out of the chute is as a kick and punt returner, a position that was wholly lacking last year. obviously, it will be thunder and lightning backfield with d.j. and avery. good grief. speed like we have never had here before, ever!

the rotation at d'end is going to be fun to watch unfold - six deep? but linebacker looks flint hills top soil thin to me.

Quick, say the last names of the DT 3 deep as fast as you can, GO!
