It's kinda funny hearing someone talk shit on KU Basketball and where it's headed when they are fan of a team that won't leave they're own building to play and haven't won a tournament game in four years and no conference championships in 20.

Kind of like a fan of an aids fire of a football program talking shit on an ascending football program?

The best basketball team in Kansas is Wichita State.

Not according to the RPI, Pomeroy or Sagarins predictor. Lets allow the experts to tell us what's going on and leave idiots like you on the sideline, you're just cluttering up the board at this point.

How many FCS football teams does Sagarin rank above kansas?

Final Four last year.

KU in the last ten years is 1-2 against the MVC in the big dance.

Pomeroy has MU schedule at 307/351. Obviously it's embarrassing but you have to remember who we're dealing with. Alden knows MU fans are stupid so e schedules tomato cans to run up a good record and that make them think the team is legit. Pulled the same act in 2012 too.

Did you get tired of the Royals fans telling you what an idiot you are in that thread and decide to have fans of opposing teams tell you what a loser you are here instead?

It really is remarkable that a Chiefs, Royals, and Jayhawks fan with conservative political views on this board can be this universally despised by Chiefs fans, Royals fans, Jayhawks fans, and conservatives.

Seriously...how bad must your life suck for you to want to spend your free time getting your asinine opinions shit on (by people who largely support your causes, no less)?

Your football team is one of the longest running jokes in history, yet all you want to do is bag on Mizzou and Nebraska...two teams that are light years ahead of your program.

Basketball rolls around, and your beloved basketball team loses three of four to solid but unspectacular teams, and you keep on spewing shit about the strength of schedule of an undefeated team that your team won't even schedule. Get a ****ing life you pathetic loser.

If the regular season mattered any more than slightly, this would mean a whole lot more. You can schedule tomato cans and win them all or schedule good teams and lose most of the them and still make it to the tournament if the team has a decent record and is from a BCS conference. If KU or MU flames out of the tournament early, no one will care what happened in November and December.

Gahahahahaha! I totally own your soul bitch. I'd never devote that long a post to you.

Yeah...you're only working on 7,500 posts in just over a year. Your time is obviously extremely valuable.

Why do you bother? When the entirety of your sports experience consists of reading spreadsheets, why spend your time posting on a discussion board? Your opinion is whatever Sagarin publishes, and any idiot with google can look that up themselves.

:LOL:

And we thank you for bringing Tigerboard on here. Most people have trouble locating delusional Mizzou fans so you do serve a vital purpose here.

Are you talking about me? I thought this was Missouri's year. I was wrong. But check my posts. I was picking them to win all the time.

So the Vegas favorite to be the next Texas football coach is Charlie Strong. The "best job in football" will be held by about the 50th best coach in football if Sin City experts are to be trusted. At least we know that Texas will have deep core values, though.

Haha 3-40 and 1-2

Great sports teams!

It's annoying, huh? I asked how Mizzouchebags would react if they got fisted by the SEC during bowl selection like "Big Bevo" used to do to them. And as predicted it happened. No response to that yet.

Mizzou only got fisted in your tiny little mind.

We got the bowl we deserved. We lost one game in the regular season, and so did Alabama...and their loss wasn't to us. Alabama is ranked higher and is the better team.

2013 Regular Season TV Ratings:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BbucXzVCMAA6KxB.png:large

The Big 12 has by far the most inventory when talking percentage of the conference that is nationally televised.

It's great to be a Big 12 fan.

What does that even mean? Your conference champion was the 37th most watched team in college football. Mizzou was 8th for reference.

9 of the top 15 teams in terms of ratings were in the SEC. Of course, there is plenty of room for SEC schools in the top 15 because the Big 12 had none.

Who wants to watch bad football?

How did they get screwed? The BCS only allows for two SEC teams to get in. The top two ranked SEC teams got the BCS bids. Missouri and SC did not even though they are still top 10 BCS teams. The system, not the SEC screwed over Missouri.

Baylor and Oklahoma State are good teams.

Yep. That's two.

He's talking about Alabama but they were ranked higher in the BCS than we were, so that's how it's supposed to work.

It's not at all comparable to a team you beat head to head and whom you outrank in the BCS buying their way into a game ahead of you.

I'm talking about LSU

I'll take the Cotton over the Outback every time.

Since the SEC splits the bowl payouts it doesn't really matter. We might as well be playing in Dallas where it's an easy trip for students and fans.

I sure wish we were playing an unranked team 1,800 miles away instead of the 13th ranked team seven hours away by car.

It means what I said. The Big 12 has far less teams than any of the other major conferences yet 92 games were rated.

Of course the ratings are going to be lower. There simply aren't as many people in the footprint watching.

However it's great for fans of Big 12 teams. All of our games are on. And it's never going to change.

That's really great. Schools will no doubt be clamoring to join the lowest rated conference.

The Outback is not a better bowl than the Cotton Bowl. Idiot.

Guess everyones happy. I mean shit, they started an entire network just to broadcast Big 12 Football.

Well, Texas is happy I guess. That Longhorn network sure has been a massive hit for them.

Comedy Central has been around for years, dude.

oh, I forgot about the LHN and Jayhawk networks. Those are just the icing on top.

Holy lord you're a complete fool. Outback is slotted ahead of the Cotton in the SEC pecking order, you gt jumped by LSU regardless if you like the Cotton better. Learn your own conference info and you won't make moronic statements like this.

More like a website, but okay.

You are literally the only person that is running around saying LSU screwed Mizzou. Think about that. I have not heard anyone else make that claim.


And, after some quick googling...it turns out you are wrong:

http://www.stltoday.com/sports/colle...555262de1.html

Here is another link to an SEC forum saying the same thing:

http://www.secrant.com/rant/p/229241...ing-order.aspx

Maybe you should pull you head out of your ass before you run around making false claims.

Fox Sports 1 is a website?

Fox Sports 1 is not a "Big 12" network, per se. It is a sports channel that agrees to carry Big 12 content. They will be other sports content on Fox Sports 1. To see what a conference network truly looks like, please the Big 10 network, or next fall, feel free to tune into the SEC network.

LMAO This is like saying they created CBS so they could air NFL games.

Fox Sports 1 was created to air Big 12 football games?

I have no interest in paying extra to watch those networks. I'll stick to Fox, Fox Sports 1, FSN and ESPN which broadcasts all Big 12 Football games for free.

Sucks you guys are going to have to pay so much more to watch Mizzou.

Yeah, that extra $1.10 a month is going to be a ****ing killer.

Nice deflection...trying to lie and make it look like the Big 12 has a network when they don't....you still have not found that knack for being honest. Maybe someday you will.

The Big 12 doesn't have a network. All the teams have their own. Which is nice being a KU fan since I get everything for free through ESPN3.

Fox Sports 1 plays Big 12 Football until there isn't anymore inventory left.

It's overkill how much airtime Big 12 Football gets.

The difference between an actual TV network and games being televised on other networks should be pretty obvious to a Yankees fan, you would think.

And the Big 12 is the least watched conference. People will pay to watch the SEC, but they won't watch the Big 12 for free.

Clearly it's overkill based on the ratings. Fortunately websites are cheaper than actual networks.

MU got the 5th bowl slot. I was told only "big Bevo" was out to screw them but it looks like the SEC puts baby in the corner too.

Why won’t KU ‘Chickenhawks’ play Wichita State?

December 17
BY YAEL T. ABOUHALKAH
The Kansas City Star


As a University of Kansas basketball fan, I’d love to see KU play the Wichita State Shockers.

And Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall in recent days practically dared the Jayhawks to compete against his squad, which reached the NCAA Final Four last season.

“(Kansas) is a special program, they’re elite, and we know that,” said Marshall. “We're just trying to be the best that we can, consistently. And if we can be in the same conversation with them, it’s usually pretty good.”

But apparently, KU is playing chicken and won’t schedule Wichita State, at least yet.

In fact, the Jayhawks haven’t played Wichita State for 20 years.

That’s not a good thing to have happen in a basketball-mad state like Kansas.

It’s especially a bigger deal in 2013, when Wichita State is ranked 11th in the latest Associated Press Top 25 poll and KU is ranked 18th. Plus, don’t forget that Final Four appearance by the Shockers in the 2013 tourney.

Part of the problem, it seems, is that Marshall used the term “chickenhawks” to refer to the Jayhawks a few years ago. Just how he meant it is open to interpretation; details here.

Earlier this year KU coach Bill Self gave his explanation of why things haven’t worked out with Wichita State, essentially saying it wouldn’t make financial sense to play a game away from Allen Fieldhouse at some point against the Shockers.

That contention really doesn’t wash, however, given the number of non-conference games the Jayhawks have played against other teams that aren’t as good as Wichita State. See: Colorado this year. (Yes, I know the Buffaloes upset KU.)

With KU and Wichita State unable so far to work something out, Kansas legislators have even talked about forcing the two schools’ basketball teams to play.

That would be ridiculous, though. As much as I want to see this happen, it shouldn’t be with a new law.

Instead, two of the best basketball programs in the nation in recent years ought to be able to work something out so sports fans in the state of Kansas can see how the squads stack up against each other.

which network was started just to broadcast big 12 football?

It's good to be King.

Again...you are wrong and full of shit. I posted actual facts refuting what you are saying. Keep trying to knock the Cotton Bowl all you want....you are just bitter.

You must be referring to the SEC...because the Big 12 is the court jester at the moment.

When you're on top you get countless articles being written about teams wanting to get their shot.

Comes with the territory.

As I've always said, take a number and get in line bitch.

MNguy, Kansas is the King of the entire region in basketball and King of the #1 RPI basketball conference.
http://www.cbssports.com/collegebask...ogy/conference

It's a great feeling to be a King. Too bad you'll never experience the feeling.

Too bad basketball is not the King of sports.

What's basketball again? Is that what LeBron plays?

Like FSU, Clemson, BYU, and ND./ Delusional B12 fans.

Hypothetically lets just say Fox Sports 1 gets a choice between showing B12 games or SEC games which one do you honestly think they would pick? They chose the B12 because it was the best of what was left.

In reality, they got jumped by South Carolina despite winning the East.....

It's a sport that the whole country watches for the entire length of March.

IMG College acquired by William Morris today. Things are about to explode for schools like Texas, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Alabama, and Kansas.

http://www.forbes.com/sites/darrenhe...orts-business/

yea you're right. Kinda like NBC saddled with Notre Dame Football. ugh

This is a game changer. Texas might be able to offer even more money for coaches to turn down.

This isn't accurate.

The Cotton and Outback are literally parallel bowls but they have regional preferences. The two bowl committees worked together this year to swap regional preferences. The Cotton wanted Mizzou and the Outback wanted LSU. The Cotton would not have been allowed to take Mizzou as the Outback had the winner of the East. Had they refused to swap affiliations with the Outback, they'd have had LSU or Georgia (as Missouri and SC are not options under that scenario). Had the Outback refused to swap, they'd have taken Missouri or Texas A&M (with Auburn, Bama and LSU being off the board). These aren't even 4a and 4b, they're just co-4s.

I think Mizzou did get hosed a bit by not getting the Cap One bowl, truth be told. But that doesn't make your statement any less inaccurate.

Missouri ended up slotted behind 3 teams - 2 teams that beat them head to head and a third team with a better record and higher ranking than Missouri's.

I'm not sure what you think you've proven here.

Just wondering here....what is going to be the total dollar payouts for all the SEC Bowl participants this year that will be spread around the league?

LMAO Only you could look at that graphic and see something other than the Big 12 being the least-watched major conference.

Zing!

Obviously the Cotton would strongly prefer ATM and Juan Futbol in the worst way. They couldn't because they had to take Mizzou. As to the rest of your post, could be true could be false. I just see you won your division and got the 5th slot in the bowl pecking order. If you're right that it's no big deal that's fine - but that wasn't the attitude you had back in the "Big Bevo" when everyone and their mother was out to get you.

Quit lying.....You have been owned by the facts in this thread and your speculation has been exposed as total bullshit.

No wonder KU fans cannot stand you.

So true. These flea bag vagrants begging for games think they are "shaming" Kansas when in fact all they're doing is looking pathetic. The King will see you in his court if - and only if - he's ready for you.

Chatter about Gruden wanting the Texas job.

Here we go again. You gonna post a picture of Gruden in a UT shirt standing next to Bevo?

I'm going to tell my boss that I'm interested in the Texas job. It seems everyone else in the country is getting raises by playing the Longhorns for saps in front to the entire country, and I want in on that action.

"chatter" = some rando tweeted about it
