I'll never forget being lectured by an OU fan (a guy whom I respect, but disagreed with on football matters, obviously) about how the big12 made the right move in "letting" A&M/Mizzou go and adding TCU/WVU.

I think we all have a story about that. Mine is:

At the time of the move, my sister was going to Texas. One day I went to visit her in Austin before I lived here and we went out to eat with her then boyfriend (another Texas student). He was telling me how "excited" he was to play TCU, because "they thought they were the best team in the state" and it would be great to "put them in their place." He was going for the butthurt.

But I simply responded "Yeah, I don't know why the two biggest Texas teams played each other each year at the end of the year. It ensures that only one team has a shot at something greater. I am looking forward to our new matchup on Thanksgiving , LSU."

His response: "What, yall are going to play LSU on Thanksgiving?!?" followed by the biggest bunch of real world butthurt I have ever seen.
