Thursday's Happenings

Big 12 Meetings in Colorado Springs Continue -

Topics for the day include revenue sharing among the Big 12 teams. The Buffs are probably neutral in the discussion and if they had to decide, they would probably go more towards a non revenue sharing relationship due to the fact that most of their football games are on television and that is where the money is. The reason the Buffs would be neutral has to do with the lack of postseason success in the past in basketball . Obviously the Texas' and the Oklahoma's of the world would want the non revenue sharing plan due to their athletic success while Baylor and Iowa State would prefer revenue sharing. Other topics include which golf course was the best, who danced with the ugliest girl the previous night in town, who drank the most and who has the hottest wife. Maybe we could put the hottest wife question as a poll in the future.

Premier ABC/ESPN Televised Big 12 Football Games Released -

ABC will broadcast 18 Big 12 football games this year including two games involving the Colorado Buffaloes. The first game will be the much anticipated Thursday night in Boulder versus Fiesta Bowl Champion West Virginia. That game will kickoff on ESPN Thursday, September 18 at 7:30pm. Playing under the lights at Folsom will be a treat and should be a great recruiting forum for the Buffs. The second game is in Lincoln in the traditional day after Thanksgiving game on ABC.

Other marquee match ups that all Big 12 fans should look forward to include-

Illinois at Missouri - Exciting game last year and a great forum for Chase Daniels to launch his Heisman campaign.

Cincinnati at Oklahoma - Could be a tough early home test for the Sooners.

Kansas at South Florida - Will answer a lot of questions whether these two teams will be as successful as last year.

Texas vs. Oklahoma - Will OU continue its Red River dominance?
