        It's the favorite school of the FOT "Friend of Trolls". Since he's from Missouri, the phrase 'Missouri Mule' fits him b/c he's a jackass.

          My bad. I forgot that I was posting on here about Missouri State being an ideal candidate for the Big XII. Suggesting that the greatest football school of all time (that may or may not have lost a tackle football game to the University of Connecticut last year) was not a shoe in for the Big XII was dumb on my part. I apologize.

              It would behoove you to sit your specious research data aside for a second and actually check out the definition of the word ironic.

              I wouldn't aspire to be like Wichita State nor the University of Houston.

                Well clearly. The athletic department of your alma mater says as much, what with MSU's hilariously poor athletic product overall. It'd be just terrible if MSU had the athletic prowess to piss off the P5-ers, like WSU and UH represent.

                Also, I hate the word "behoove", not that you asked.

                  The whole Should Houston get an invite to the Big 12 question needs to revolve around how their inclusion could or would affect present members and less on Forbes ratings, commuter status, or tiers.

                  Adding Houston give that school more power to recruit better athletes within Texas. That further dillutes an already stressed recruiting pool, plus the politics involved with having one more Texas school could be drastic.

                  The shift in political power could also be quite disturbing. There could be some plausible deniability that Houston made the list on merit and not as a goal of the Big 12 becoming a Texas League, had Rice and SMU not made the cut. How on earth can anyone think this process is above board when Rice makes the cut and Memphis doesn't? How about SMU making the cut?

                  The Big 12 has reportedly cut the group of potential expansion candidates down to 11: Air Force, BYU, UCF, Cincinnati, UConn, Colorado State, Houston, Rice, South Florida, SMU and Tulane. Each school will send a representative to Dallas to present to Big 12 officials next week, with the conference hoping to [...]

                      75v: Elliot Gould / Leon Redbone

                      Babs' Uvula

                      Sister.....Laraine Newman
                      Babs.....Gilda Radner
                      Doctor.....Chvy Chase


                      [ open on National Uvula association flash card ]

                      Announcer: And now, a public service dramatization from the National Uvula Association.

                      [ dissolve to Babs and her sister sitting in their living room ]

                      Sister: Gee, Babs, you look like something the cat just dragged in.

                      Babs: I know. I feel crummy. But I just can't seem to put my finger on what's wrong.

                      Sister: That's too bad, Babs. Has it ever dawned on you that it just may be your uvula?

                      Babs: Gee, no, Sis.. I must have stupidly glossed right over my uvula.

                      Sister: I had a hunch you might've. That's why I made an appointment for you with a top uvula specialist. [ doorbell rings ] Who makes house calls! Right now!

                      [ Doctor enters the living room ]

                      Doctor: Hello, I'm the doctor.

                      Sister: Hi.

                      Babs: That must be him! [ coughs ]

                      [ Doctor sits next to Babs on the couch ]

                      Doctor: I won't beat around the bush, Babs.

                      Babs: Is it bad?

                      Doctor: In a nutshell, your uvula is on the fritz. Which reminds me of a little joke. Knock knock!

                      Babs: Who's there?

                      Doctor: Babs' uvula.

                      Babs: Babs' uvula who?

                      Doctor: I don't know, Babs. But I do know this - you've really let your uvula go to the dogs.

                      Babs: Yes.. I have..

                      Sister: I'd like to share this with you, Sis. [ opens a greeting card ] "To Babs: It'll behoove ya', to care for your uvula! Love, Sis."

                      Babs: Boy, do I hear ya', Sis! From now on, it's strictly good, clean fun. For me and my uvula!

                      Doctor: That reminds me of a little joke. Knock knock!

                      Announcer: Who's there?

                      [ Doctor, Babs and her sister laugh at the surprise interruption ]

                      Announcer: The preceding dramatization was brought to you by the National Uvula Association.

                            Classic Saturday Night Live. I remember that skit from when I was in sixth or seventh grade. When I read "behoove" my mind immediately went back there. Amazingly, I found the script online.

                                Anyone in their fifties will probably remember this. Too bad Shocka Khan has me on ignore, he probably would have gotten a kick out of this.
                                Unless........ He only says he has me on ignore. In that case, enjoy, Shocka!
