Message: [QUOTE="Hurleyman216, post: 4656641, member: 3517"] I don’t think rivalries take as long to develop as some of us think. Take Cincy for example. They didn’t even join the Big East until 2005, but because we both ended up in the AAC we quickly became rivals and those were some great games. We also very quickly formed a rivalry with Houston. The same would happen in the Big 12. I think we’d have instant rivalries with Kansas and Baylor that after even a few years would really start to simmer. As long as we’re playing high quality basketball teams I don’t personally care so much. As a side note, I MUCH prefer the Big 12 style of basketball to the Big 10. It’s not even close. The Big 10 style of slow white guys who just jack up 100 3’s a game is not fun to watch and history has shown it isn’t very effective come March. Imagine having almost EVERY home game in our conference being a top 25 ranked team. That’s what it would have been like if we were in the Big 12 this year. It’s the closest thing to the old Big East there has been. [/QUOTE]
