Beebe has long preached the dangers of a school moving out of its natural "geographic proximity." For what is believed to be the first time on Tuesday, he basically tipped his hat and wished Colorado good luck for getting closer to its fan base.

"When you remove your institution from your orientation, your rivalries, I think it's really going to be problematic ...," Beebe said. "Colorado went to its orientation because they had 50,000 more alums that were located in the Pac-10 footprint than the Big 12 foot print."

I see that as a warning to other schools in the conference that they will fail to maintain their "geographic proximity" if they leave. I think he is attempting to point to us as a statistical outlier.

I see more of a good cop bad cop thing. They want the 48 million we owe them (or whatever ridiculous figure Chip Brown calculated). Pretty soon Dodds is gonna swoop in...

I want my two dollars!!!

Actually I appreciate that he was honest about why Colorado left. He recognizes we did it for the right reasons and understands that business is business. I think this helps us long term with our relationship with our former brethren. You never know when that might be important.

I really don't know why it would be important, other than to maybe schedule an OOC game from time to time.

And frankly, those games would be better if seeped in lingering hate...

If Beebe gets too friendly with us, he'll just feel more comfortable when he asks us to borrow cash.

Its not the things that you can think of...it is the million reasons you can't think of.
