He's paid to be Texas' sock puppet.

There's a reason that after the Big XII meetings, the only people to speak were him and the Texas prez.

And, "We didn't start this, but we'll end it." Dude... **** you.

Dan Beebe is the ultimate pussy

He should never be allowed in Allen Fieldhouse.

Someone on FB just said Colorado might be "the first domino" and go to the Pac 10 as early as tomorrow...

That would be hilarious. All this talk about Texas, Nebraska, Mizzou, what happens to Kansas, and the red headed stepchild stands up and says "I'm leaving forever!!"... the 11 others shrug, one even says WTF was that? and everyone goes back to what they were doing.

About equal revenue sharing? (paraphrased) "Nope. That issue's not on the table. They all knew what they signed up for."

Ya know, before this all started all the other schools who weren't Texas and OU were pissed about it too. But, now that the shit seems to be hitting the fan... I guess it's better than nothing?

ROFL

Alright....in all seriousness. Can we get back to basketball yet?

LMAO

I too, am looking forward to the sports. (Football and Basketball) This shit's got me on edge.

It's highly entertaining, but I'm not sure if it's in a good way...

Take from this what you will...

http://my.journalstar.com/post/Huske...eculation.html

LMAO Damn... I guess not all OU fans are happy with Texas.

(Nothing important... just a funny post)

That idiot has been wrong about every damn thing so far.

Truman the tiger never would have handled the dish from Sherron and drained that beautiful 3 pointer at the end of regulation.

That's all.

Dude seriously, enough with the basketball posts.

:D

Heh, hadn't seen your post about it... actually, I stopped scrolling down the news feed earlier, because I stopped at the beaker thing in your other post and realized 15 minutes later that I was still dumbfoundingly staring at the screen and got up to make dinner.

Wickedson; I believe it's time to take this thread to all new basketball heights. I suggest you empty your KU bball pic cache on this thread.

Go forth and RockChalk this thread right the **** up. The murons have been practically begging for it.

I know. Kansas tries to count 5.

Shut up ****.

Dude no, it's too much. I'm all for some friendly back and forth but rubbing it in an institutions' face that they've never won anything in 115 years is just oo much.

You're so kind. Wanna hug?

WTF does that have to do with the article you were bitching about?

By "red headed stepchild", do you mean one of the 8 teams in the Big XII that another conference actually wants?

I as a Kansas fan have never claimed 5 National Championships.

Not all of us do that. In my eyes we've won 3 and are the 3rd to 5th greatest program of all time.

1. UK
2. UNC

3. KU - UCLA - Duke(I guess)

But if UK doesn't get it's act together soon KU and UNC can pass them by. KU nearly has them in all time victories and is tied with UNC currently.

The poor performance this year in the tourney really hurt KU basketball, I admit that.

There are some good ones. On both the KU and MU side.

The Sodd one is funny.

Yeah, If this shit goes down... that's one thing I'll miss.

I'm not bitching about the article, smart guy. I'm quoting it to show that your school that is supposedly "basketball royalty" has 3 championships in 100 years. You've got people in here putting KU above Duke and even UCLA.

UCLA has forgotten about more titles than Kansas has ever won, and people are trying to act like KU is somehow above them. Give me a break.

And hawkchief shows up to complete the KU douche tour de force.

Vinegar and water are actually oozing out of my monitor now. Excuse me while I go get some paper towels.

At least 3 mu fans just got a fat chubby and trickled two ounces of hot tiger spooge down their thigh at the mere mention of said pic.

C'mon now. Somebody post it. We'll all get a laugh outta it.

UCLA didn't exactly have competition during their run.

They basically got out of bed and rolled into the Final Four while in the East all the good teams were constantly beating the shit out of each other.

You know this.

Yeah, I know... that one was TIC after I realized I missed your sarcasm in your original post. It's hard to separate the sarcasm/mocking from the ignorance & stupidity.

This article and others like it almost sound like Missouri is trying to be "kicked out" of the Big XII so that it's the Big XII who breaks the deal and not MU. It's brilliant if that's the case.

"We're a name school in the state of Texas," Yost said. "The best guys in the state of Texas, we don't get them all, but normally our name's listed with them. That's part of being in the Big 12, also part of playing down there, but also being successful."


Sorry, I just wanted to make sure I read that right.

Is there some kind of Rosetta Stone that can be used to translate this stupidity into English? It almost sounds like he's discounting a team that won 7 national titles in a row.

Guess what...If you throw away those seven titles, they STILL have more than KU.

I'm not following.

... this makes them a worse basketball school somehow?

Care to take a stab at how many players came to MU from Texas and then got drafted into the NFL in the past 5 years?

I dunno 10?

I was just pointing out that fact that everyone recruits Texas. It's not something specialized to Missouri.

I was laughing at the fact that everyone recruits Texas. MU is not special in this area.

But... didn't you claim that a move to the Big 10 would...

Ah, **** it. I give up.

I was laughing at the fact that everyone recruits Texas. MU is not special in this area.

Apparently Wickedson was really agitated by Saul's last post. :D

No one said MU was special in this area.

omg this site is messin with me!

LMAO Funny stuff...


http://www.bringonthecats.com/2010/6...-big-12-twelve

I was told that guy is in the know too.:D

It's a repost, but from several hundred posts ago. And extremely funny. So I guess we'll let you live. :)

I'll tell you what I'll miss...not one mother****ing thing.

Damnit.

Oh well, it's new to me... funny as hell. (and double **** you LMAO)

LMAO

The Nebraska part is awesome... and if I could just make one change...

It all this turns out to be true and ku goes to a smaller conference like the Mountain West, scalped ticket sales in Lawrence will plummet.

I haven't heard anybody talking about that yet. What will Roger Morningstar do?

Hey, I'm not Kansas! :p

Hey now. He could be into that.

Although, being male, I'm not sure how he could have that done to him.

Hopefully be in jail.

Oh yeah. We members of the Big 10 yet?

Be patient.

Mizzou's silence says a lot.

My brother lives in Chicago and they get the Big 10 network on basic cable and he says it's a very low production level.

Can anyone verify this?

Somebody's mind is in the gutter tonight...... :D

You don't trust your brother?

I'm in a particularly good mood. Had a good night in class.

No, I didn't get laid. Haven't my mind in the gutter will have to suffice. LMAO

It says we have no idea what will happen, but we sure as hell aren't going to say something that will f*** it up now...

lol, I thought that the second I typed it

lol

It's okay, I know what you were trying to do. ;)

I live up here, but I never watch Big 10 games. Hearing about them 24/7 is bad enough.

I guess that's about to change.

An article regarding KU ball

Pac-10 Merger: Bring Kansas Basketball, Colorado Football—Not Baylor...

by Reid Brooks


Emails from Baylor University regent and lobbyist Buddy Jones were obtained by the Dallas Morning News today (a great news source that has run with my articles before, so I'll give them a shameless plug) in which the Texas-based politician makes one of the most pathetic pleas I have ever seen.

He basically asks every Baylor graduate in the legislature to call every major Texas institution (that is going to receive a Pac-10 invite) and have the big players demand that Baylor comes along. This is a new low in the sports world.

Heck its a new low in the world in general, even for a Kenneth Starr headed team.

This isn't a political issue, its a business decision. Right now, Baylor is looking like the fat girl that no wing man wants to take down, no matter how hot the girl (Texas) his buddy is going to get with might be.

Scratch that, Baylor looks like Canada at a United Nations meeting in South Park: shouting very loudly about how they "need more money, guy" but not realizing that the rest of the world doesn't care.

The argument that Jones continues to make is that Baylor has a bunch of championships in other sports (despite being awful at football, making their addition to the Pac-10 horrible for everyone including their own student athletes who will get destroyed on an annual basis) and he also claims that Baylor is academically better than Colorado.

Memo for Buddy Jones: No. And to again reference South Park and their endless Canada jokes, I'm not your buddy, friend!

If Baylor was in the current Pac-10, they would be on the bottom of the scale academically as well as athletically. We don't need Baylor, and Baylor's student athletes are not going to compete at a level that would make being in the Pac-10 beneficial to their self esteem.

Also, well over half of the people on the west coast don't even know where/what Baylor is. Get over it. Baylor is embarrassing themselves and the Big 12 South by making this gigantic scene.

If there is one deserving school that is being left out of the whole equation, however, it is definitely Kansas.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the Jayhawks future is tied way too closely to their in state rival, Kansas State, who likely couldn't be brought into the Pac-10 unless they were replacing Texas Tech or Texas A&M (both schools actually are needed to bring Texas over, unlike that other school run by crybabies). Still, Kansas actually has something to offer in athletics.

Aside from their marginal (but improved) football program, Kansas has one of the greatest basketball programs in the country. In fact, it would be a total shame if that program was not in a major conference (Kansas will find a good home).

While their academics don't fit in perfectly with the Pac-10, neither do the academics of Texas Tech or Oklahoma State (both schools are better than people realize, but they still don't have the national reputation of Stanford, Cal, UCLA, or USC). And frankly, the prospect of watching a conference championship game between UCLA and Kansas basketball would be appealing enough to get the Pac-10 that international audience that commissioner Larry Scott has been talking about.

The concept of adding Kansas to the Pac-10 might not be as far fetched as a lot of people are thinking, particularly if the conference could get only Kansas basketball. Conference realignment for different sports is common place (see the Big East).

It might be possible to convince Colorado to bump out of the Pac-10 during basketball season in order to make way for the Jayhawks.

If Kansas doesn't have an offer for major conference representation on the line for its football team, how could they turn such an option down?

The Pac-10 would then get the best of both worlds.

In the winter months and March Madness, an allegiance with Kansas would bring nothing but pride. And money.

When the fall comes back around, having Colorado football makes the Pac-10 an academic, profitable, and proud conference of tradition.

Obviously Kansas football would really get the shaft in this deal, but could Kansas really afford to pass it up?

Their football program could likely participate in the MWC, which is where they are probably going to end up anyway, so is it really a loss for anyone?

OK, fine, it is still a loss for Baylor, but who can actually see them on the turf with USC or on the court with UCLA?

Anyone?

This idea should be given thorough examination. Kansas is deserving not only for having a great and historic program, but also for not creating a huge media distraction during the Big 12's messy divorce.

This move is win-win for the Pac-10; the question is, how clever is Larry Scott?

Nebraska could soon be leaving the Big 12 for the Big Ten.

CONFERENCE EXPANSION

NU to Big 10 as early as Friday?

By Lee Barfknecht
WORLD-HERALD BUREAU
« Big Red Today

LINCOLN — An executive at a Big 12 school relayed to The World-Herald on Tuesday that he expects Nebraska to become a member of the Big Ten as early as Friday.

NU Chancellor Harvey Perlman has declined all interviews about conference realignment and expansion. He is expected to address the topic with the Board of Regents at its Friday meeting in Lincoln.

Direct confirmation from Nebraska of a conference change for the Huskers wasn't immediately available. Sources at two other Big 12 schools told The World-Herald that their athletic directors have instructed them to be ready by week's end for a briefing on probable Big 12 changes.

Nebraska A.D. Tom Osborne offered implicit confirmation Tuesday night that the timetable on national conference realignment has been accelerated.

On his monthly appearance on the Husker Sports Network, Osborne said:

“I think before too long — I don't know exactly what that time frame is — we'll be able to put this to bed," then he jokingly added, “because I'm getting tired of it."

The Big Ten first revealed on Dec. 15 that it was considering expansion, and that it would take 12 to 18 months to act.

Now, six months after that initial announcement, multiple sources have indicated that the Big Ten is prepared to add one to five schools (including Nebraska), and that the Pacific 10 is courting all six schools from the Big 12 South Division.

“There's a lot of information we really don't have right now," Osborne said. “Hopefully we'll get these put together in the next few days.

“Anything I would say regarding Nebraska's position or other schools in the Big 12 would be pure speculation. And I don't think that's very helpful."

Another issue Osborne addressed is recent speculation that he has a personal grudge against Texas or that he is basing decisions on some hatred of the Longhorns.

“We certainly don't have anything against anybody in the Big 12," Osborne said. “This decision is not going to be based on animosity or petty jealousy. You're talking about something that could maintain for the next 75 to 100 years.

“This is a big deal in terms of the University of Nebraska. It's a big deal for other institutions. You don't ever make a decision based on personal likes and dislikes."

Osborne said he gets along “very well" with Texas A.D. DeLoss Dodds and is a “great admirer" of UT football coach Mack Brown.

“This is not a case of reacting to any one school," Osborne said, “particularly Texas."

Earlier Tuesday, The World-Herald requested an interview with Dodds. His spokesman, from Austin, Texas, said Dodds was unavailable because of a personal commitment.

He said, all the big games are on ABC regional.

Usually football is Indiana vs Purdue type things.

Right now they've got Indiana vs Michigan basketball on (even though college basketball means nothing...)

I'm trying to see what the difference is between this and what we have in Fox Sports Midwest, at least when it comes to football.

I live in NYC and was able to see all the KU football games without much trouble this year. Most were on basic cable.

Does the MU fan watch every second of every game? Serious question, do you guys really care if they don't have MU vs I-AA games on tv?

And what are they gonna do? Kick us out? Hold up nasty signs at our games? Oh no!

If at all possible... yes. I watch every moment of every game.

Wow, with CU possibly announcing a move tomorrow, and NU possibly by Friday, and we all know MU is gone...the Big XII may be done by the end of the week.

The deal is done.

Quit trying to jinx it beaker! :cuss:

That's about right. The Big 10 in it's current form is Ohio State, Michigan & Penn State, and then all the rest of them. I see more people wearing Michigan stuff in Chicago than all the other schools combined, even though they've sucked for years. I'm sure Missouri will be relegated to the Iowa/Purdue/Indiana level, so I expect I'll see lots of their games on that channel. I guess I should take the time to check it out next season.

As for current Missouri games, I have DTV and watch them on the Fox channels same as you. And I'd rather watch Missouri play a doormat than two teams I don't care about.

The final act of a desperate man...

JK... kinda

possibly possibly possibly possibly maybe maybe might might could could expects expects expects expects expects tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow


^ Here are a few more in case you run out.

I just need CoMo to predict that MU goes to the Big 10.

It's good to know we'll be missed.

I'm not jinxing myself. Not gonna happen.

You won't be missed. You can go ahead and go back to being a KU fan also and it won't be a rivalry thing.

So this guy's proposal is to get CU to agree to play in the Pac-10 for everything BUT basketball, and ku to agree to play only basketball?

Nice little dream. Not going to happen.

Did no one see my post about Nebraska going to the big 10 possibly friday?

LMAO

That just might do it.

His disdain for Mizzou would never let it (that prediction) happen, though.
