FWIW, I am.

Lightweight.
:evil:

You'd have no fans left to hate; because there would be mass suicides if Self left.

C'mon KSU friends...they last thing you want is Self leaving. Then we'll just steal Martin away. You don't want that.

You think KU will go after Calipari?

One would think that KU would have better aspirations than an exiled High School coach.

Well, since the MVC is sorta like High School+; I think we'll be fine with him.

This Chip Brown douche is already backpedaling.

Bill Self leaves, my soul will be crushed beyond repair.

I'm an asshole and not even I would want Self to leave after all this.

What?

is the presser going to be streamed?

Calipari isn't going anywhere except to the NBA when the call comes. I think we'd go for Turg.

How?

The guy gloated that it was a DONE DEAL that Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State were going to bolt to the Pac-10. Now on the front page is a story about how A&M may go to the SEC.

Hey buddy, I thought it was a DONE DEAL. Your sources what about your ****ing sources? Surely, he will find a way to blame Mizzou for this.

This

The guy is a gigantic douche, but you have a strange definition of backpedaling, especially since he's been reporting about differences between Texas and the Aggies.

Careful, you'll make Zach cry again. :D

I'm told #Mizzou is not a high priority in Big Ten's immediate plans but not totally out of the picture. Process could last months half a minute ago via UberTwitter

Dave_Matter twitter

seriously

really?

r u shure????

ugh.

NickAthan: I'm told #Mizzou will be joining the Big Ten and the Chiefs are talking to the Jets about Darrelle Revis for a player to be named later.

I love how you quote yourself over and over...

me too

Okay, that's funny. LMAO

So any updates on the Self presser?

Bug any news in Nebraska? Part of me wonders if this is bullshit. Colorado is easily replacable what if the BigXII stays together? :[

He's replacing Perkins as AD.

Self said that KU "will be in a BCS conference" and that "there is no other option."

Is it over?

nope. He had no real news, other than saying "we've got some things going on, but I can't talk about that", if that means anything at all from the low level of a head coach. Also said "we'll be in a power conference", but no idea if he is speaking from facts or from hopeful optimism.

Other than that, he was obviously nervous and just gave an honest opinion of the situation from his point of view.

Is this the largest thread about conference realignment on the entire internet or what?

There's one over at WPI, but all the posters are saying that everything looks great and will work out fine.

Chiefsplanet takes the best things from the internet and condenses them into pure awesomeness comprised only of the most worthy things. Chiefsplanet is the internet, brah.

This thread is bigger than the Pioli thread.

From the twitter (wordmandc) of a Washington Examiner sports reporter:

All I know is all indications are showing NU will become part of the Big 10 tomorrow. But I'd be lying if I said there wasn't a part of me that is still feeling uneasy about this. And I will be royally pissed if Texas somehow weasels their way into the Big 10. Stay the **** out, goat ropers.

Meh.

but goat ropers need love to

you would rather go to the MWC?

i'm starting to get a vague hope that ku will land in a bcs conf....i really don't care where, just not some neo-western bullshit with iowa st ksu and montanta...


self is always reassuring even when he has really no specific info.....rad dude

Big East would be much, much better than SEC.

Please be true.

the Pac-10 would probably be my last choice for KU but i'm not gonna complain.

Better a BCS than nuttin


1. ACC
2. Big 10
3. Big East
4. SEC
5. Pac-10
6. creating a new BCS conference of some kind

wtf is the attraction of rutgers?


they do not carry the new york market

Big East is ok by me.

IIRC just the NJ parts of the NY and Philly markets would make them the 5th largest market.

As long as we are away from those Texas ****ers, it is a win.

Yes.

Puff puff pass homey.

I guess he feels they don't have that much to lose.

they don't have that many fans.....they're surrounded by people, not fans


edit

i guess if it's just eyeballs, i get it....but no one gives a shit about rutgers

Do they have good academics?
Posted via Mobile Device

Colorado is the same deal - fans don't care, but they are in Denver.

26th best public university according to USNWR.

Minnesota is 25, MSU, Iowa and Indiana are 29th.

so they fit academically, based on those rankings at least.

savor the memories

WTF is all this talk about Self leaving now. Where do you guys come up with this crap?

This.

WPI

I MADE IT UP. I MADE IT UP. IT IS A JOKE. DO NOT HANG YOURSELF IN THE BASEMENT. DO NOT SLIT YOUR WRISTS.

just KSU/MU jacking each other off and dreaming

Frazod of Chiefsplanet.com reports that Bill Self is stepping down to become the basketball coach of Nebraska.

:fire:

I don't see Self as the type of coach that would hang around a mid major conference.

Let's inject a little perspective into all of this.

There are currently 67 football teams in BCS conferences. It looks like there are going to end up being 4 conferences with 16 teams each or 64 total. Assuming that no mid-majors wind up in the new conferences, only 3 teams will be left out.

Smart money says that these 3 teams include Iowa State. The question is who the other 2 teams will be.

i don't either. maybe those with crimson and blue colored glasses see it another way. but if KU doesn't land in a major conference, i don't see why Self would hang around.

should be interesting if the MSU job opens up...

Call me crazy or delusional, but I am not worried about KU's chances of joining a conference. The only thing that would cause me great worry is if we said K-State was a must have, and turned down offers to stay with them.

Oh, I didn't believe it for a second. I just wanted to know how that crap got started.

Can't say I'm surprised. ROFL
Damn Butthead!!!!

Frazod of Chiefsplanet.com reports that Bill Self will leave Kansas to become an assistant coach under Roy Williams in North Carolina.

:p

You could have at least made up something that was remotely possible. :rolleyes::)

Obviously I'll take what I can get, but I would rather be in the Big 10 than any other conference. Good academics unlike SEC where you can be a rahtard and get in. I'd vote my vote for conferences as follows...

1. Big 10
2. SEC (football money)
3. Big East (probably the best for basketball)
4. Pac-10
5. ACC

Other than the big 10 and SEC...if KU, KSU, ISU, MISSOURI could somehow poach Cincinnati, W Virginia, Memphis, Louisville, and a few other schools that would be a the ultimate scenario. I'm sure as one of the large ranking football revenue schools in the Big East, they get sick of having to be in the same conference as some of those other schmucks. If football is driving it, why not just make a new conference w/ those teams. You think Marquette, Providence, Villanova, Seton Hall, & St Johns have pull in that conference? I would think the football schools the Big 10 doesn't poach would love to move. Create a new conference that would be decent at football, and good at basketball. I don't really see KU to the ACC is a viable option at all

The Mnt West/WAC is not an option unless you fill it w/ some other Big East/ACC teams and only have to use a couple like Utah, BYU, Boise State etc.

So it was Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, and Baylor who joined to make it 12? When did this happen?

Wouldn't it be funny if some reerun posted it somewhere and it ended up on ESPN? LMAO
