Does anyone know how the university will distribute the tickets for the Big 12 championship?  Will the athletic department sell some of their allotment to students or will they all go to TSF donors?  I know it is probably too early to know anything, but if anyone gets information, could they please post it?  I would much rather student charge my tickets instead of getting them off ticketmaster.  Hopefully we can throw a wrench into the BCS picture and win ourselves a trip to the Fiesta Bowl.

On espn.com, Tim Griffin explores possibilites of realigning the Big 12.  I know these two possibilities would never happen, but it is really interesting to read.  I really like the idea Griffin proposes, but the Big 12 has not been an innovative conference since creating one of the first "super conferences."  The idea of eleven conference game would spike interest, create more exciting schedules for fans, and increase revenue for the conference with a better TV contract.  Griffin points out all of these and I really think the Big 12 should look into realignment to make the Big 12 a more competitive conference overall.

I saw that the game had already been picked up.  I didn't know that they picked up conference games already.  I know that ABC agrees to televise certain matchups every year like Texas-OU, Texas-Texas A&M, and Nebraska-Colorado.  I'm kind of bummed though that the game will only be on FSN, especially after last years game.  Any other thoughts on this?  Can ABC overtake the broadcast?

I found these pictures while surfing some message boards.  I thought they were pretty cool.  They are custom made covers for EA Sports NCAA Football 09, which comes out in July.  Some guy is a Photoshop pro, he makes them all.
