ttt? **** it's been two days.

Rab87 and Zombie - I would like to petition you both to add a few dates to the front of the timeline. They are important because they prove that Texas was one of the first programs that started hooring itself out to other conferences.

On Dec 16th Delany announced that he was seeking expanion partners. And in early February less than 2 months later, Texas is reportedly in serious talks with Delany. Before Missouri or Nebraska. This helps make the case that Texas started all of this months before other schools in the Big XII started to work on safekeeping their athletic brands by talking to other conferences.

Here are 4 key dates to include:

December 16th 2009 – Big 10’s Delany announces plans for expansion.
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/news/story?id=4745381

February 11, 2010 - Texas in talks with Big 10’s Delany about joining conference – 2/11/10
http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2010/feb/11/big-ten-making-overtures-texas/?sports

quote:

---

A source with ties to the Big Ten said that while most people’s attention has been trained on the conference stealing Missouri, the Big Ten has engaged in “preliminary exchanges” with a much bigger fish from the Big 12.

June 4, 2010 - Ohio State’s Gordon Gee sends note to Delaney detailing Dodd’s Tech Problem
http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/sports/2010/06/04/e-mails-hint-eyes-are-upon-texas.html

June 11, 2010 - Nebraska's President Perlman and AD Osborne announce move to Big 10. Both discuss Big XII's instability as the reason they chose to leave.

As Tom Osborne and I looked at that, we thought Nebraska was in a very vulnerable position,

Petition yourself bud. I'm just gonna sit here and roast marshmallows on the fire that Belmont has become.

This is a cleaned up version:
I fixed chronology, changed claims for accuracy, added a few items I thought were important (funny) and removed claims I couldn't find links to…
It also includes WestAustinAg's additions.

WTF?

How long did that take?

Plagiarism is unlawful. Cease and desist immediately, and delete the incriminating post. My attorney will be contacting you with intent to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law.

I like it. All the sources make it much more compelling.

Thorough.

And when will that make an appearance on the shag?

Rab - you get credit for this entire thread.

But that linked version is so full of awesome I cant describe it.

It is the single most important thread ever to exist on Texags. It represents the highest calling of Texags...of the entire internet.

This thread will live for years as the documentation of the last 2 years. No more do aggies have any excuse to 'mis-remember' the most important 2 year period of our schools history.

Zombie.

ZombieElephant, you are my hero.

And with that post, ZombieElephant carves his permanent niche in TexAgs lore. Well done!

Wonder if Rab stops bumping now that Zombie has stolen his thunder...

WBS, are you stupid? I'm only bumping when DeLoss adds more content to the Chronicles. Read them dammit!

I've been accused of being worse things.

RAB gets creative credit of timeline documentation. Zombie provided support and gets the assist. Now it's our job to teach younger Aggies 5 years from now who didn't live through it and start accepting the tu/media spin that A&M was jealous and whiney and left despite daddy sip's best efforts at keeping everyone in the family happy.

Thanks WestAutin. And now if you could just off WBS, we would all be happy.

Props to Wipey too. He put the idea of links out there.

Came out pretty good after some work, but over time, those links will all break.

Nothing huge here, other than Dodds saying his wife and Bill Powers will decide when it's time for him to leave, tu fans are spoiled, Tennessee fired their coach(es) and are in debt, and something about recruiting that was edited abit. (He doesn't mention A&M, but does the Big XII state of Texas schools recruiting against them.)

Watch it, if you care to.

Has anyone noticed that DeLoss has a fake tan? Dude, seriously? You're 70 years old!
