ChiefsPlanet - Funny Stuff New Conference re-alignment thread

Exactly. KU wants to say that MU shouldn't leave because KU/MU is a great rivalry. At the same time, they are trying to say that they only play us because the conference requires it. Which is it? Is it a game that should be played because it's a great rivalry, or is it a game that should be played just because it's on the schedule every year?

Bill Self is speaking about more than KU-MU.

Its the conference.

Its about being strong and not running to someone else because you can't make it work yourself.

It doesn't mean others don't make a ton of money off them.

What does that have to do with your comment about wanting to stay in a conference that is "based right here" when your conference is based in Dallas, TX?

Columbia is 600 miles from Dallas and 675 miles from Atlanta. I'm sure the additional 15 minutes of flight time is going to be the deal-breaker.

There's no fire when you build your hotel right.

Weak links and faulty wiring make things burn.

Plus, it is not like KU would lose money by switching from Colgate to Mizzou, either. They would probably make more money at Sprint Center.

I am like alot of my KU friends...

We dont give a shit about the Big 12 Cesspool... We want KU to land somewhere stable and growing..

This ****ing joke of a conference can suck sweaty ball sack. Send KU to the Pac 16 or the B1G.

You can tell yourself all you want, won't make it true.

Mizzou wants to play KU because it's the right thing to do, not because we are obligated to do so by the conference. If KU says no, then I guess the rivalry wasn't that important after all.

Mizzou now has a chance to step up and give Texas the finger on the way out the door and I am glad they are doing it.

I will miss the KU games but I will love seeing the likes of LSU, Bama, Florida, Auburn and others in Columbia more than I will miss KU, ISU KState and the others.

Mizzou is building a new tradional not resting on an old one.

KU isn't second class to those schools.

They make 2nd in 3rd tier to Texas. Texas has a population like 5 times that of Kansas.

Do none of you guys ever look at how much $$ these schools actually have?

There is more to it than that. Granted, he is trying to exert what little influence he may have on the situation.

He will have nothing to gain from playing Mizzou, if the SEC deal goes down, nothing. KU treats WSU the same way, and it is a statewide issue annually.

Even if the BIG XII fixes its weak links and faulty wiring, Mizzou is leaving a Holiday Inn, and moving up to the Ritz Carlton. Who can blame Mizzou for that?

He's been making the same post ever since this whole Conference Armageddon started. Dude is completely oblivious to the fact that KU has no offers. Even if there were offers, though, it would be hard to say "No" to equal sharing and T1T2 rights surrender and commit to the B12.

Those things stay in KC with the Big12.

With MU going to the SEC everything is gone in this area.

25% of the hotel has been burned to the ground, and you've said multiple times that you don't care that only the more expensive rooms get sprinklers.

All times are GMT -6. The time now is 01:08 PM.
