Agreed, getting in is one thing, competing is another. But, for their sake, hopefully this will help their recruiting enough to compete. Softball is a year around sport down south, is it not?

Looks like Petro is getting fired.

lol. Petro going against the company line.

Huh?

Petro's knocking it out of the park right now, IMO.

Passive Agressive? Not at all.

Kansas is/was way too comfortable with the situation that is the Big 12.

That is their problem and they need to correct it.

The LHN is worth more than what KU is bringing in 3rd tier so its all out in the open now.

KU is to blame in losing MU as their rival just as much as it is blame MU for not standing by their conference allies of 100 years.

That's the point.

He wants to call me a tool over it then I don't give a ****. I'm here and willing to talk about how it can work out. For those not interested I couldn't care less.

I think because KK has the exact opposite take; and KK is his boss (I think)

KK is going to fire him for not toting the company motto that Mizzou is crazy for going to the SEC and is going to get crushed.

Really? I never thought KK had any direct authority over Petro.

That would suck - Petro's a much MUCH better radio guy than KK.

yeah, that's just my wild-assed guess. I thought KK was the main guy there etc.

but again, WAG on my part.

if/when that SEC network deal comes through, I'm totally getting it.

KK is a co-owner. But he's been pretty consistent on saying that radio personalities on 810 have complete control over what they talk about.

They're going to have to spend more $$ to compete.

I agree. Losing any KU folks is a net +.

Feeling is mutual Bill...

This is why KK is the best in the biz. He talks and people listen. Just to disagree or speculate. As if the guy would fire Petro for anything said on the air.

Petro quit to take a competing job at the old 980 during PM drive time. Petro lost his ass in the ratings and walked right back in the door to 810.

KK would never fire him.
