I'm sure Kansas City had MU in mind as well as nice support for the KU Basketball machine when Sprint Center was built. When the university turned their back on Kansas City the focus of the sports business in Kansas City shifted to the Kansas side.

It's been nothing but success ever since. Championships only reside on one side of the state line.

See for yourself. Bill Self welcomes you to their website.

I wonder why he isn't posting on BigXIITournamentPlanet.

On 41 News the other evening after the weather, Jack Harry did his preview of sports. He talked about Mizzou's "title defense" as Spring Football was around the corner. "We'll talk about it next in sports!"


I thought, shit, I must've moved to another planet because I missed their title.

Winning the SEC East in football is a greater accomplishment than anything the pilgrims have done

Actually, my school won the national championship and they are from missouri

Your school shit the bed and will get beast raped into dead last in football

Bwahahahahaha!

Avoid playing the only good teams all year in the SEC and then get raped for 600 yards rushing on national tv.

Only a school like mizzou could consider that an accomplishment.

You'd think eventually pride would set in over there.

Funny coming from you, considering your team gets raped constantly from small conference teams and is the bottom bitch in it's own conference. Good luck in that coveted spring game this year.

Basketball! why are you always talking about KU?/ Bambi

LMAO rinse and repeat

Any thoughts on where UMass ends up? I'm not sure how much they've put into their football program since announcing their move up, but surely they'd have to consider going back to FCS, or dropping the program altogether. I guess the Sun Belt still has a spot open for a football-only, but that seems like a negative relationship for both sides.

I know another school that should be FCS

UMass made a decision to protect their basketball. The MAC isn't terrible, but the A-10 had one of its best seasons ever and their administration bet that everyone would stick around/the Big East wouldn't try to raid them. I'm sure they would have preferred the status quo, but when the MAC pressed the issue, they had to back out.

The MAC has this weird obsession with expanding east. Every time they've tried (UCF, Temple, UMass), it's gone sour pretty rapidly. Maybe they should try to raid the Valley - Illinois State, NDSU, Northern Iowa and yes, Missouri State would all be solid candidates.

The fact that KU fans are actually talking shit about football while their program mires in dumpster-fire status is hilarious. Stick to the kids' table (college hoops).

mizzou...striving for excellence. If at first you don't succeed.... oh I give up lol

Last night on the news, Jack Harry described the double-perp as "Louisville transfer Zach Price". He's such a clown.
