Let me get this name thing straight

[Donovan]

The Big Ten conference has 12 teams, and The Big Twelve conference has 10 teams?

Seriously, I'm sure we'll keep the Big Ten name due to it's storied history. But the name of Big 12 is relatively new, so, wouldn't they want to come up with a new name, unless they add a couple more teams to get back to 12?

Why do we drive on a parkway, and park on a driveway?

And what's the deal with airline food??

I was thinking more like Tom Hanks in "Catch Me If You Can":

"The Big Ten. Twelve Teams. F*** You."

A little anecdote from my college Calc prof:

1+1 does not always equal two. Things are not always as they seem. If you are baking bread and you have 1 piece of dough in your left hand and one in the right. If you add them together, do you have 2 pieces of dough? If you count them, you do. If you add them together, you only have one piece of dough, granted it is larger.

If you add a team to the Big Ten, you no longer have 11 teams. But do you have the Big Twelve? No...you still have the Big Ten.
