ChiefsPlanet - MU ****The Official NEW new new conference realignment & shit talk thread****

Based on what?

My recollection was that the Big 8 really only wanted Texas and A&M. Politics got involved to bring in Baylor (thanks to Anne Richards) and Tech (some Senator got them in ).

I have no memory at all of the Big 8 trying to bring in the entire SWC. The SWC was crumbling and its members were looking everywhere. The Big 8 struck hard and had a home for the 2 most attractive options that would allow them to continue playing each other.

Try again next year, it's basketball season.

Nobody gives a shit about hoops till they have money on the line with their brackets.

They just said during the Cotton Bowl that Mizzou beat 4 ranked foes during its run to win the SEC East....Prison Bitch has assured us that Mizzou has not beaten any ranked SEC opponents....is PB's computer broken?

Nationally televised prime time game....nice. Not seeing much difference between this and a fruit bowl.

Dude, they're trying to build up the game. Just be glad they didn't list any of them.

Why? They were all quality wins. Of course, being a KU fan, you do not really know what one of those looks like.

Now it's basketball season.

Some programs still play football games that matter in December/January.

Fortunately, all we missed was a month or so of basketball that ultimately has no bearing whatsoever on how the season shakes out.

Well, I think finishing in the top 5 this season is a result I'll take.

It's nice when all the local football schools get a football bowl win

Yup. College basketball is relevant to most people right around March or so.
