texas did go to a bowl last year and get run by an arkansas team (sec) that 
was blanked 35-0 in their last regular season game against lsu.  big 12 can 
say they are up this year, but the fact is there are only two teams playing 
football in that conference, ou/nu.  the other teams in the big 12 attribute 
their loses to a competitive conference from top to bottom.  i think they 
should change the name of the conference to the big 2.  at least the sec is 
full of good teams.  "the big 12 - you can't shine shit!"
