Should be a presser today announcing our escape from the BE, and entrance to the B12.

EDIT - It's come out that the bonehead commissioner of the BE was wanting 50-60 million! WVU stood tall on 20mil, and that looks to be the final number, give or take a little.

Regardless, very exciting time for the B12 and I'm really liking how there's no shitty division.

Seriously CAN NOT WAIT to see WVU play teams like Tech, OU, OSU, TCU, etc. Should be a lot of fireworks. I assume when you play Texas we'll drag you down into a low scoring game.

Oh, and just for good measure, F U K-State.

No doubt, this makes for one hell of a strong conference. Impressed with the welcome we're getting on the B12 forums/outlets.

I can't wait to travel to the B12 venues, and host these teams in Morgantown. I'm hoping we'll make a big splash, first year in. We didn't lose anything on offense, and moving to a traditional 3-4 or 4-3 defense should help alot(3-3-5 stack is a tough D to master, and requires absolute perfect play from the LB's) My biggest concern is how long we can retain Dana...but being in the B12 we'll be making a LOT more money, so hopefully we throw a substantial portion of that windfall his way. Still, I can't imagine he's not NFL bound before too long.

What makes you think Dana would bolt for the coach meat grinder that is the NFL? Obviously the spread passing game translates (See England, New), but I've gotten the impression he's really enjoying his time on college campuses, haha.

Because it's, generally perceived as, the pinnacle of coaching. Plus, hookers and red bull.

I like how the B12 is looking now. This set up is WAY better than the set-up that they had when the Huskers were still in it. The old set-up was terrible and this will be way more competitive. Although the Huskers are no longer in the B12 I will root more for the B12 teams than I ever did before.

Classy response, sir. When I saw you had replied I was expecting something like, "The B12 is a joke" ... While the B12 doesn't have nearly the prestige of the B10's members, it sure is playing top shelf football these days.
