Why I hate Texas more than I do Kansas

The FOX Sports analyst credits nostalgia to a certain degree. Klatt’s fondest memory of his collegiate career was in Lincoln in 2004. The Buffs won that matchup, 26-20. With Nebraska, Colorado and Missouri now in different conferences, Klatt isn’t a fan of the new setup.
“I hate it,” Klatt said. “Missouri is playing in the SEC. Nebraska is in the Big Ten. Colorado is in the Pac-12. It’s sad.”
...and Mizzou
As for why and how it all fell apart, Klatt doesn’t hold back. He knows exactly who caused the Big 12’s problems.
“What people fail to remember about the Big 12 is that the Big 12 saved Texas and the Texas schools,” Klatt said. “Texas brought along Texas Tech, Texas A&M and Baylor, and [the Big 12] saved a fledgling Southwest Conference.
“The balance of power was in the north. Colorado and Nebraska were the preeminent brands at the time the Big 12 formed. Nebraska gave a lot of concessions. They allowed Oklahoma, a traditional rival for them, to be in another division. They didn’t put their foot down. As Texas became so difficult to deal with and demanded more and more and getting more money, I understand why it blew up.
“Texas wanted more than they should have, and based on the inception of the conference, that wasn’t right. Texas knows it. They ruined two conferences, so that’s on them. And now we don’t have Colorado-Nebraska anymore.”

Hopefully that never happens. Since it takes all members voting yes, I'd think Mizzou wouldn't let that happen. God help us all... trick texas

Texas A&M will definitely oppose Texas. As would Mizzou and Arkansas

Texas did Mizzou a favor by blowing up the B12.
Here's to you Deloss Dodds, the best thing that ever happened for Mizzou.

You had me at I hate Texas.
I don't see how A&M, Arkansas, and Missouri would ever allow the the Longhorns into the conference.

I don't hate Texas. They are what they are. Everybody else let them walk all over us. If everyone had some backbone, we wouldn't have let them dictate every decision like they did.

I hate texass as much as ku. (big)
That last b12 game against texass at Faurot was glorious. We thumped their azz while flipping them the bird and walking away from that sh*t conference. F them all.
If the SEC is DUMB enough to let texass in, then the SEC gets what it deserves. Maybe LSU would be anti-texass too? I hope that day never comes.
