"Dallas officials are close to bringing two more Big 12 universities to the Cotton Bowl," Texas Tech and...... OSU. Sorry to those of you who were hoping for an A&M-Tech match up Big-D. A number of arguments support a neutral-site game. 1) It would bring in more money ($neutral-game + $neutral-game > $home-game + $away-game) and 2) statistically speaking, an neutral site favors the better team. But I always thought it was a bad idea.

• I would never want to give up a home game.
• It is no longer safe to assume we are better than Tech, so the neutral-site statistics are not necessarily on our side.
• A game in Dallas allows alumni in Northeast Texas to attend, but it effectively prevents students from going to the game.
  
• Traditions are part of what make college football so enjoyable. Our students standing, the script Ohio, Nebraska's black shirts, and yes the Red River Shootout Rivalry. This game has been in Dallas since 1912, that's ten years before coach Dana X Bible called E King Gill down from the stands. In my opinion, adding another game almost 100 years later does not respect that tradition.
