The "cowering puppy" that's bouncing on the Big 12? But the rest of the league doesn't care, so that's cool.

But inviting BYU and West Virginia into a midwestern conference is practical and prudent.

You are on your game today.

I've been to OKC Bricktown. If they decide to settle in there and give them a chance to make it there own, it could still be a great event. It will never be KC, but, that's one of the traditions that gets tossed aside in these 100 year decisions.

Well, I live here, so I'd rather reward KCMO for KCMO's sake... and I'd rather the Big 12 not give up on KC just because of a state line. I get the business side of it, saying it's no longer a Big 12 state, etc; and while having the BB tournament or Farmageddon here every once in a while might be viewed as funding the enemy, it isn't exactly funding the Nazis.

Good "cultural fits." The Big 12 has always been a proud supporter of Mormons the world over.

Hey, I can only go with the #'s I see in front of me. I'm sure things will turn around though and you'll dominate your way to middle of the pack by end of year.

I guess you could also use results in recent years to increase the sample size to come up with a more realistic estimate, but clearly you were not a Math major.

Wait, so the fans want to keep it at the Sprint Center? Is that what you are saying?

How the **** would I know? I want to keep it there, that's all I know.

We've always known MU will fit perfectly into a hillbilly conference. There's no doubt about that.

What's the drive to the closest team in the SEC East? Eight hours?

MU hillbillies don't travel well, it's a known fact. Just look at attendance for sports in Columbia.

Sure, we can look at the past 30 years or so.....

8 - 8+ win seasons (5 of which have been the past 5 years)
19 - 5 or less win seasons

Pure domination.

You're clearly the geography major. You tell me.

Like I said, I feel bad for KC. The thing about KC that you could almost count on, is that some local team would gobble up tickets. Kids from campus could go there on a chance to get seats. OSU has basketball history, but the state is largely football oriented. Its changed a bit since the Thunder got there, and I think it would do well there. It'll never be KC, but things change. MU can talk about stability all it wants, but the Big XII could be just as stable. It will always be a target because it has good teams and no real geographic boundaries (not hemmed in by oceans or desert expanse.

As soon as TCU announced it was joining, I've become rather apathetic about MU leaving. That doesn't mean I don't care about what happens to KC. If they could move the Sprint Center, that would be great, but since that can't happen, they'll just end up one of the victims, hoping it gets some NCAA considerations in the years to come.

It's 2nd grade math. I'm sure you don't get that.

You guys are irrelevant and generally shitty, which is why a better conference wants to add you. /other fans
