ChiefsPlanet - Funny Stuff New Conference re-alignment thread

Rodriguez did a great job there, but outside of his run, it hasn't been a historically successful football program. Since he left they have become a borderline ranked team, playing in a pretty weak conference. It would be the best pickup for the Big 12 given the schools left over for sure though.

Everyone was wrapped up in travel distance arguments a few days ago related to Missouri and the SEC... What about the travel from Austin to Morgantown?

I have to admit, this new defense mechanism by ku and ksu fans is pretty hilarious.

"Mizzou will never get an SEC bid!!! hahaha"

then:

"Well.....Mizzou will get destroyed in the SEC!!! hahaha"

then:

"Umm......West Virginia is even BETTER than Mizzou!!! hahaha"

Defensive mechanism? In what measurable way is Mizzou "even" with West Virginia? I believe Mizzou's facilities are probably superior to WVU. Other than that, I just don't see it.

That is true, but the comment was related to WV being an upgrade. When you take revenue and travel into account they seem like a wash at best.

Of course it is a defense mechanism. Your wife just left you and you are trying to convince yourself that your new GF is even better, even though she's a stupid, fat hillbilly.

WVU racked up some nice wins and BCS appearances playing in a dogshit Big East and relying on players that wouldn't have been eligible in a major conference.

Ask Neinas if he'd rather have Mizzou or WVU. Hell, ask the SEC.

Bearcat with a dose of reality as usual.

I thought it was KU fans who didn't pay attention to football until Sept 2007... :shrug:

God. There is nothing I hate more than "wife, ex-wife, girlfriend" references in conference realignment. They are misogynistic and stupid.

On a serious note, are the Big 12's academic requirements that much more strict than the Big East? I find that hard to believe.

Exactly, it would be much easier for the SEC to nab a team on the eastern side of their conferance and WVU made it clear they wanted to come to the party, but the SEC has shown their preference is Mizzou.

I know the 80's and 90's are fresh in everybody's mind but before that Mizzou was a pretty successful program. Missouri was right with Nebraska and Oklahoma until the 70s hit.

I could buy that. Travel wise, it is a pain in the ass to get to Charleston, WV from here.

Of course, Mizzou fans that travel (hahaha) will experience trips like that if they join the SEC.
