This is the only reason I'd ever want us to join the Big 12. The fact that there are alot of closer schools. The ability to road trip. Our closest in conference game is Ole Miss which is 400 some miles from Fayetteville... in that same distance, I'm told you could travel to seven Big 12 schools. Oklahoma, Oklahoma St., Mizzou, Kansas, K-State, probably Texas Tech and...Nebraska? I don't know.

Overall, though, it's the bigness of the car that counts the most. Because when something bad happens in a really big car – accidentally speeding through the middle of a gang of unruly young people who have been taunting you in a drive-in restaurant, for instance – it happens very far away – way out at the end of your fenders. It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
