Yesterday was tough for the Big 12 in the Big 12/Big 10 turf war. My alma mater (Iowa State) lost its football coach to Penn State, which long ago harvested our most renowned wrestling alumnus (Cael Sanderson) to serve as their wrestling coach.
Today, though, we took back some ground thanks to an ISU basketball win at #1 Purdue.
There's still some territory to be retaken. My hopes are pinned on Iowa State's most renowned basketball alumnus (Fred Hoiberg), who coaches at Nebraska, finally being activated out of sleeper mode and, under the cover of darkness, bringing Nebraska back to the conference it belongs in.
Then we can turn our attention to the SEC. How do we get Missouri and Oklahoma back*? Do you want Houston, Cincinnati, West Virginia, Arizona, and Arizona State? Oh and Central Florida. I forgot about them. As one does.
Forgive us: we just want the world to make sense again.
Also: please don't steal T.J. Otzelberger.
