I see only one glaring game, and that was the game at USC a couple years ago. Yeah, that team was loaded. They barely lost to USC and Texas in the other two. Oh noes!

Look, the Big 10 is no SEC. But Big 12 fans that think the Big 12 is by far and better than the Big 10 are mistaken. They are both good football conferences. The Big 10 is a much deeper conference than the Pac 10 even. Sure USC usually helps the Pac 10 out alot, but w/out USC that is a pretty shitty football conference. Except for last year, USC has easily been the best football team in the last decade and usually the Big 10 gets the unfortunate duty of playing them in their bowl game.

I felt this thread needed some juice.

Oh well, it's not like Nebraska has beat a ranked team since...well...the 90s, so they'll fit right in.

Didn't they beat KU when they were ranked in '08?

Nah, KU had fallen out of the top 25 by that time.

Hey man. We had two years of glory. The June Henley era, and then 2007 Todd Reesing before he sucked era. Good times

Yep, 1995 was good for KU. Kinda odd that the final year of the Big 8 was one of its finest, IIRC 4 of the 8 teams finished in the top 10 that year.

It's almost Big Ten time Can you feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel it?

They beat three last year lol

So how many wins do you think Suh accounted for last year? I count about 4. Now that you don't have Suh, what does that leave you?

Yeah, they were all barely ranked though. We have some kind of streak going, I think it's no wins against a team ranked higher than 20th since 1999.

If you think Suh was the defense last year you are mistaken. This years defense has two first round picks. Plus Nebraskas secondary was the most underrated secondary last year with a walk on safety a converted Jr college linebacker. I predict PJ Smith will be better then Asante and O'Hanlon.

shitty

What? I think Suh was a special player but he wasn't the whole defense. If the Dtackles can get some penetration and I see no reason they can't the defense will be fine. The linebackers were young last year and sucked i'm hoping they get better this year with more experience.

Not talking about Suh. I keed I keed. Nebraska should do well this year. They have a schedule like KU had in 07. Things have really looked up for you guys since you stopped scheduling USC. You don't have to get shellacked anymore when your fanbase gets their hopes up

The D will be fine, I'm more worried about the offense.

We'll see. If the offense plays like last year meh.

Dude you guys should just have two coaches. Make Pelini your d coord, and bring back Callahan to run the offense. You guys were putting up points galore, just couldn't stop anybody. Now you can't score, and get beat by Iowa State when they can't even score a touchdown.

Oh yeah, KU beat UCLA by like 40 in the Aloha Bowl.

We've had some great seasons.

It's nice having a rich tradition in both major sports. Makes the falls and the winters fly on by.

I personally can't wait to find out where KU lands. SEC, Big East, etc... I only hope that KSU, MU and ISU are along for the ride. I'd like to keep the traditions going strong!

WTF? Now you're being absurd, I don't recall KU making a road trip to Washington or playing Texas that year.

Kansas has a rich tradition in football? LMAO...come on now. I honestly thought Kansas was an intramural program until a few years ago.

ROFL Now you're just flat out trolling.

I can't help it. I grew up in Iowa near the boarder of Iowa & Nebraska. I grew up hating Nebraska fans. Especially the ones that lived in Iowa, and liked Nebraska.

Watson is the same OC from the Callahan days. You gotta take this into account Lee had only thrown two passes before last year and was injured most the year. Helu was hurt most the year and the SR Wr's were benched. That offense was relying on two freshmen RB's and Niles Paul.

BTW, Iowa State did score a touchdown in that game, the XP was blocked.

Really? KU destroyed UCLA in 95, and won a BCS Bowl about 10 years later.

You've got a strange definition of "intramural".

KU is traditionally one of the worse teams in BCS football. Sure they have had some better success in recent years. But year and and year out, we suck ass.

Your definition of tradition must be different than mine. I like you, your a KU homer, but I don't think you'll find more than a handful of KU fans who think KU has a good football tradition.

KU is 77th in winning % per division one teams all-time. They haven't won a conference championship since 1968. That isn't very good.

I lol'ed

There's no way he's serious, he has to be someone's mult or something. Dude comes out of nowhere and posts over 200 times in this thread.

I think instead of squaring off with our respective "new" conferences we should all be unified in the fact that this really blows. The big 12 is dead. That sucks.

Nah thats great **** the Big XII.

Shouldn't have expanded the Big 8 to begin with. I didn't see any problems with Big 8 to begin with anyways.

If this thread has shown one thing, it's that he has a lot of "different" definitions.

Using what criteria?

I tend to agree. If he's not a mult, he's definitely reduced himself to just trolling.

I joined because I think the Chiefs are finally going to be a decent for the first time in a decade.

And this thread has been one of the most informative, up to date places for info on this realignment business on the internet.

I'm not a troll.

I've got posts on www.themikefrancesa.com as (Talk to me in August) and www.kusports.com as (Wickedson). These can be my references.

At least Gill's still landing some recruits.

Olathe North High junior Victor Simmons has committed to Kansas, according to Rivals.com.

Simmons, who will be a senior in 2010, helped lead Olathe North to the 2009 Class 6A state football title and played most of his snaps as the Eagles’ quarterback. In doing so, he rushed for 1,000 yards. However, most of the schools that recruited him see his future on defense. Simmons, 6-foot-1, 185 pounds, played some safety for O-North and finished 2009 with 25 tackles.

Simmons chose Kansas over Kansas State, Missouri and Nebraska.

fyp

You joined in Oct 2008 because you knew then that the Chiefs were finally going to be decent this year?

JFC, you're a walking contradiction.

What are you talking about dude? We have a great tradition in Football. Well, at least we did until the damnable internal combustion engine started making it possible to play better teams :D

1892 Western Interstate University Football Association champion
1893 Western Interstate University Football Association champion (tie)
1895 Western Interstate University Football Association champion (tie)
1908 - MVIAA champion - coached by A.R. Kennedy, was undefeated (4-0; 9-0 overall)
1930 - Big 6 champion - coached by Bill Hargiss
1946 - Big 6 champion (tie) - coached by George Sauer
1947 - Big 6 champion (tie) - coached by Sauer
1968 - Big 8 champion (tie) - coached by Pepper Rodgers

Holy shit! Anything in our lifetime?

Dude, 1968? Weren't you born by then?:D

Well, uh... there was that Orange Bowl thingy.

1973.... Sorry old timer... :toast:

Haven't you also posted on Royalboard, particularly last year that if the Royals traded Greinke they'd only receive 2-3 Class A-ball prospects?

Here you go sonny, something you can play with while the adults talk.

Now run along...

KOMUnews twitter-

Stay off my lawn!

:skip:

You're older than me. :D

How about Mexican childrens favorite toy. Ball in a cup. There is a ball tied to a string and a cup to catch it. :D

http://foxinter.vo.llnwd.net/o21/ass...01-img0000.jpg

This is becoming closer to reality as time goes by.

:clap: Very well played!

I think I'll skip that one.

"We're proud members of the Big 12, we have {insert numbers related to wins, academics and enrollment here} and have earned {insert various accolades here} since {whatever arbitrarily assigned date makes us look good}.

We will continue to work towards the continued viability of the Conference we were so instrumental in creating and have been a loyal and proud member of since {some ****ing date that I'm too depressed to go look up right now}."

**** me.

Skip? Skip is that you?

Older just means better! :Poke:

Probably

spot on, right there.

on now.

Any update?

Awesome exciting stuff here! Big piles of babbling bullshit. "We know nothing today that we didn't 2 days ago..." or some shit like that.

haggard just said "we're proud members...." and that "we'll inform you when we can"

"We are well positioned....watching it unfold....only data point we have right now is Colorado joining Pac10..."

Yep.

He's (1-8) if you hadn't noticed.

You'd be lucky to get 2-3 high ceiling A ball prospects now.

I've spent a lifetime trying to convince people that the players with the highest ceilings spend most of their time in A Ball. Guess you think AAA is where to go.

Does anybody have a pair of clown shoes I can borrow? :(

I'd rather have a noose right now. FML

And that Aloha Bowl thing. And the Insight Bowl....oh oh, and the Forth Worth Bowl!

They lost that Tangerine Bowl though :grr:

Obvious surface-level knowledge is obvious.

Why call a press conference to essentially say nothing? Couldn't they just release a written statement to the press or something?

why hold a press conference to say nothing new?

I have a pair you can borrow.....

MU officials announce the formation of the first "super-mini" conference comprised of KU, KST, ISU and MU. There will be a "west division" comprised of KU and KST and a "east division" comprised of ISU and MU. Football schedule will include 10 non conference games followed by division play (KU vs KST and MU vs ISU). Winners will advance to the "Mountain Dew Big 4" championship game with the winner advancing to the "Who gives a rats a**" bowl" held on Christmas day in Bismark ND.

According to OUinsider, the SEC has given the incentive to Texas that if they join the SEC, Alabama would move to the East division.

:shrug:

don't worry everyone already knows you are a clown, you don't need the shoes to prove it.




:evil:

I guess they wanted to make it clear that any notion we had that they had some great secret plan for success is completely unfounded.

Alden's handled this matter about as well as Pinkel coaches defense. Maybe he could take a cue from Perkins and GET THE **** OUT.

so we're ****ing over Baylor?

I would be surprised to see Texas seriously consider the SEC because of academic reasons.

I'd tell you off, but I wouldn't want to hurt anybody's feelings. :D

talked to people around the league and the consensus is that KU's basketball program is just too value for KU to not end up in a power BCS conference /Andy Katz

:clap:

Yeah, **** Baylor!
