OK- ready for new jokes? First-- you need to remember the definitions of "schadenfreude" (The feeling of pleasure or joy that comes from witnessing another person's misfortune)
Phone rings in the Big12 Commissioner's office:
Caller asks "Is Commissioner Yormark available?"
The receptionist says "I am sorry, sir, he is out of the office briefly. May I take a name and message?"
Caller: "Umm, Joe Castiglione. OU AD."
Receptionist: "Okaaay. And what would this be about?"
Caller: "Yeahh. Tell him we want to see about coming back to the Big 12."
Receptionist snorts. "OK. sure. I will tell him when he comes back from the OU Schadenfreude reception."
Phone rings again:
Receptionist: "BIG 12 How may I direct...?"
Impatient Caller: "Look, missy. I am the Texas A&M AD. Is that Yormark feller available now?"
Receptionist rolling eyes, "No. May I tell him your concern?"
IC: "Yeah, we want back in the Big 12. Them damn steers are chasin' us all around the country. If we get in, we sure know they won't tail us there."
Receptionist: I am sorry, Commissioner is down at the A&M Schadenfreude party. Why don't you have your corps of cadets take care of them?"
IC: (Snorts): "That cult? Hell, they can't even start a bonfire right."
Phone rings a third time:
Receptionist: "BIG 12 offices...."
Unidentified Caller (hesitantly): "Ummm, do you know of any upcoming head FB coaching vacancies?"
Receptionist: "There might be couple-- OU and OSU are looking grim. Who is asking?"
UC: "MM...Mr Lincoln. Mr Riley, Lincoln"
Receptionist: "Look, Lincoln, let's just say that one would sic the dogs on you and the other would shoot you on sight. You do the math. Oh, and the commissioner is down at your Scadenfreude parade."
