As the Big 12 burns, remember that Mizzou didn't start the fire

Print"'Rome is burning,' he said as he poured himself another drink." – Californication
The world watches as the Big 12 continues its hellbent path to self-immolation. As has been noted on numerous previous occasions, the public sentiment about formalities, attitudes, and blame have all shifted dramatically in the past few months and especially in the past week. But as the college football landscape awaits its rebirth from the presumed ashes of the smoldering Big 12, it's important that we note that neither Missouri, nor Nebraska, nor Texas shoulder the blame. And, it is the truth behind that fact that inspired me to create this musical tribute to the absurdity of Big 12 football's brief history after the jump.
It was always burning,
Since the world's been turning.
We didn't start the fire.
No we didn't light it,
But we tried to fight it.

You know
One of the RockM creators actually can play the music live if you asked him really nice . . . .
You might need to put in the phone call...
Maybe we can do a live performance before the first Mountain West Great Plains Division game.

We have a video
complete with cool red sweater vest and blond hair actually grown out. It could be played on the big screen as necessary.

Did the sweater vest
come from the Jim Tressel Collection or the Bobby Knight Collection?

Nice

IDEA
Can one of us with more video skills/better editing software/capturing equipment (PAGING ZOUDAVE) link pictures/video of this to the song? If so it’d make a great thing simply perfect.
(Late addendum: EQUALIZE, FLYERS, EQUALIZE)
It's a funny name.
got about halfway done with this last night before heading to bed
should finish it fairly soon, we’ll see if it’s still relevant.
woohoo

It seems as if everybody has forgotten how to report things properly in journalism.
YOU NEED AT LEAST TWO SOURCES
These people at Orangebloods are starting to piss me off.
THIS is the real theme of conference realignment.
Different storylines break all during the day, status quo is returned to by night.
"I'm pretty sure there's more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking. And I plan on finding out what that is."
RPT...This is absolutely incredible.
And it definitely cheered me up. A rec for you.
He hit it good. He hit it good.
seriously, why let it get out before the Regents vote?
Especially, if per the Matter piece, there was just some blockbuster Fox presentation today that could offer hope? Why more or less announce you are going via leaks, when it isn’t impossible the Regents go the other way? Wonder about the ‘source’- maybe they are misinterpreting some kind of half offer, and MU has the same offer or hint of an offer, but is just keeping their mouth shut?
And if MU is irrelevant as seems to be the recent buzz, why the ultimatum? Still don’t get that.
There are many, many cards left to be played regardless.
This has me in stitches

Thanks RPT
A smile when thinking about Conference-Explosion-Gate is more than appreciated.

Really terrific
I was crying during this. Somehow it works better without having actually recorded the lyrics.
