If you can point me to where I've said otherwise, go ahead. My post was referring to the ridiculous notion that "MU as a program is at least on par if not better than WVU".

Wait, so losing on the road to your team by 7 is the evidence that we don't compare to WVU as a program? Is that really your point today? Is KSU really that shitty that a loss to them impacts our program's prestige to such a degree?

My point remains the same as it was yesterday re:WVU. Wins, conference titles, BCS victories...

So why are you posting this after the game, implying it is the evidence?

So do you think sitting with the same record as KU, under .500, enhances MU's program as being on the same level as WVU?

BIG TIME FOOTBALL.

This is the first time Mizzou's had a losing record in seven years. Yeah it sucks but a couple games doesn't impact an entire program. Florida State lost to Wake today and has been pretty meh for almost a decade now, yet their program is still viewed as big-time.

MU is stuck. They think they have some sort of power. They don't. The SEC doesn't want them and the Big XII could care less about their antics.

Do you know something we don't?

Stop your antics, man.

Florida State also won a couple of NC's in the 90's.

Heh

That sure is a lot of hoping.

Too bad the OU vs Baja Oklahoma game wasnt on the LHN, both viwers would have cancelled their subscriptions.

:spock:

Yeah, right. I can see it now:

Slive: Good news, it was close, but I got all but 2 schools to informally accept you. I wont tell you who voted no, but those 2 schools will vote yes for appearances sake so that the press release will say it is unanimous!

Deaton: Great! You know, we're the newcomers here, so we won't make waves. I don't want to know who voted no, we're just looking forward to being solid contributing members of the SEC!

Slive: excellent, and we're looking forward to getting higher rates from our enlarged footprint when we negotiate new TV contracts. By the way: more good news, your cross-divisional rival will be Arkansas!

Deaton: Sweet!

Slive: so all we have to do now is to get the paperwork in order, we'll have the vote tomorrow, and we're all set. We're ahead of schedule today and I have nothing else to do, so... why, hell why don't we both sit down and watch some football? I think your Tigers are playing a ranked team and its probably after halftime so we can see the end, right?

Deaton: Oh, you don't really...

Slive: no, it will be fun, lets see... ABC? Its Kansas State, right? hahaha, how lame, purple is such a stupid color and I seem to remember they have always been a cute little wannabe team who never can win the big game, this ought to be fun, I bet Mizzou is up by 2 TD's already.

Deaton: no seriously, heh heh... no, you are just humoring me right? Isn't there a 4-star restaurant we can go to, to toast our new partnership?

Slive: Ahh, here it is.... wait, you are losing? How can this be? Oh my, your quarterback looked like crap in that last play.

*2 hours later*

Slive: wow, that was...

Deaton: So, Monday morning is it? We'll call the press conference and

Slive: yeah... Monday? sure, I gotta go back to Birmingham.

Deaton: Everything's still good to go, right? I mean hell, that was just one game

Slive: to K-State... yeah, just one game, no problem. We'll be in touch. *whispers to assistant* (get me a meeting with Oliver Luck, tomorrow, highest priority!) See ya, Deaton!

That is not going to happen. One game is irrelevant, either Mizzou has the votes, or they dont, and neither a blowout win nor a humiliating loss today would make a difference.

Air Force turns down Big 12 for Big East in football, and will join Mo Valley for all other sports. Looks like Navy and Army may follow them.
