Wow!!! I thought the title of this post was football. Funny how it got into a big argument about conference realignment. However, in my opinion, school presidents, ADs, university boards, and conference officials have only been letting out what information that they want to be made public...

I was content with the 10 teams we have, but when I heard about Florida State and Clemson joining.....all I could think was.....WOW!!! Football definately writes the checks in the Big 12, and those 2 would certainly help. It got me to thinking after I heard that.....who would be...

I have an Elite 7.5'X24'X6' tall with the 4' dressing room in the front. I was going to order an 8X24X6 1/2 tall, until I found this one. It was a holdover from the year before. My wife didn't care what I got, but was insistent on the dressing room for the kids to change in, luggage, food, etc...

I agree with shortdawg.....never too early to talk about college football. No offense to any A&M or Mizzou fans or alumni, but (in my opinion, at least for the short term) the Big 12 upgraded by subbing TCU and West Virginia for the prior 2. I just don't see either of them cometing any better in...

The 1st week of December last year I traded my '08 F250 6.4 in on a new one with the 6.7. Granted, I haven't put many miles on it (I think the odometer shows around 5700), but I'm very impressed comared to my old one. Kind of like being used to a 4 cylinder, then upgrading to a V8. I haven't...

Misery loves company!! There's a whole lot more people that went home empty-handed than those that got a sale card. My 2 kids included. My daughter got 2nd place in class 7 Maine, and my son got 3rd place class 1 AOB. He actually made it to the line for about 30 seconds before it was over. He...

Very well said Jerrod. Your whole family is very well deserving of that. You think he was motivated before? You ain't seen nuthin' yet! I witnessed the same thing with my 12 year old girl last year. Her steer dindn't quite turn out the way we wanted this past year, but she knows what that feels...

KF- I completely understand your point. There are kids everywhere that do more with less every year at these shows. Most of the time, they fall short. The thing of it is though, premium sales are not about which kid deserves it most. It's about which animals deserve it most. But, it's not always...

kf- Sorry, but I don't personally buy that reply. Our politically correct world and our "I want it now attitude" stinks. That's why my family sets out reasonable goals at the beginning of the year. We don't worry ourselves with what everybody else is doing. Kids also need to learn that this is...

I don't know what county you're in DLD, but up here in Grant County, Our county premium sale has 20 slots for steers, limit 1 per child. The most that has been eligible since I've been around has been 12, so if you show up with ANY halter-broke steer that weighs 1000 pounds, it will make it in...

DLD- you are the 2nd person that has told me that about Tyler. My brother-in-law was in the same fraternity at oSu with him, and has the utmost respect for him. Good enough for you 2, good enough for me. I have faith that this deal will be squared away sooner rather than later. Too many good...

I was going to stay away from this one, but I can't keep my mouth shut now. The OKC fairgrounds have been in dire need of work for many, many years. With all the emphasis in OKC (well, all of Oklahoma County) of money being put into MAPS, MAPS 2, and MAPS for kids, any sort of sales tax vote for...

What do you consider "not so common ingredients"?

Sambosu- I just now saw this thread, and you are getting great advice....seems like pretty much all the people that post on here do this for the right reasons. If I may interject some advice, it would be a little late for this spring, but every summer Jerry McPeak puts on "Be a Champ" show...

Someone on here a year or so ago put a halter breaking video from McPeak's "Be a Champ" camp that RFD had on their "Cattle Show" episode. I downloaded that to the hard drive on our home computer. I refer back to it alot. That guy preaches leading before tying as well. It works for us. The main...

Did not know that....you learn something new everyday.

I used Cydectin on Jan 1 also, and then on Jan 4th sprayed the area with Hocus Pocus to get rid of the rest. I will use Ivomec pour-on this weekend just to be on the safe side, and then scrub it out again in a few days so we don't burn the hide, and pray we don't have any problems for the next...

Sambosu- I respectfully disagree with some of these folks here, depending what your family's goals are, and what time the steer will show as a fat. If you (like us) are are coming up on what you've ultimately worked towards all year, wait until the week of the show. We live in NC Oklahoma, and...

Yes, a strong passing game is important in this day and time, but even moreso important is BALANCE on offense. If you can do that, you can keep an aggressive defense honest. How'd that ruching game for LSU work out the other night? What was the biggest part of Alabama's offensive success...

Here are some valid points to back up my argument. I picked out a few games. I can't believe I'm wasting time doing this, but here goes: All season LSU has benefited from their D and ST units gift wrapping points. Much like oSu has. They are 70+ in total offense nationally for a reason. They...
