LMAO

Weak.

Now Arizona and Arizona State to the Big 12 could be a shocker. OU and OSU would go to the North then. KU folks would be happy to death with Arizona in the league.

weak why? I never wanted that game from the start. Wouldn't make any difference to my team. They never played in it and never would have. I don't want to see better teams have an off night and let someone in the BCS that really shouldn't be there.

They shoulda tried this a long time ago

It can keep you out of the BCSCG too. For instance, if OU and Texas both end the season 11-1, Florida and Bama end the season 11-1, and ohio state finishes 11-0 because the big 10 is garbage. The winner of Florida-Bama will definitely get the nod over OU or UT if they don't have a CG.

Not having a CG also throws away millions of $$ that could go to the conference.

:(

At least we'd have KU in head-to-head. :)

No way OU and Texas are in seperate divisions.

They want Jerry World filled and all national tv eyes on the first December Saturday - thats the game they want.

well, that idea was laughable because of our crap contract. Thats why the "why don't we poach schools" rantings looked like crazy-talk.

BUT, now that we apparently have this iron-clad promise of a deal about equal to the SEC, along with (and this is important) some clauses written into the deal to adjust the value to stay competitive with other conferences... well, that changes everything. The PAC 10 will probably get a good deal someday soon, but now they are the conference with the below-market contract.

I really doubt this will pan out because Arizona really is quite far away and it is very reasonable for them to expect a good outcome from a PAC 10 network.

Goodpoint. They can do that every year in Oct guarnteed. now though.

you forgot how that Ball State matchup will be a re-match from Mu's non-conf schedule. You know Pinkel likes to schedule those MAC teams.

Why? Playing in the championship game every year would make the rivalry bigger. Plus even if they don't play in the championship game that year, theres still a pretty good chance they would play eachother during the season. Either way it would be rare for them not to play eachother.

it sucks ... might and well just drop to our knees and start licking TU Taint immediately.

apparently we are just a worthless pile of shit with no other options.

KU chancellor/AD should both be fire for failing to do their job

their job is to raise the level of KU profile/value academically and athletically ... they have failed

Don't forget to wear your tongue condom.

Yea I suppose that KU's, K-state's and Iowa State's non-con schedule is vastly superior to Mizzou's :spock:

Heh, sounds about right.

Again, Bob Dole doesn't even see this as a significant advantage for the Texas schools. Despite all the rivals talk at sporting events and in most of the fan's minds, there's a surprising amount of cooperation amongst the various university systems in the state, both through funding and through projects that take advantage of the economies of scale in a state of this size.

If academically there's some sort of federal funding advantage to a formal co-op, it would make more sense to set up a structure to compete with the CIC. (Which is ignoring whether there really IS an advatage over the current level of grant funding.)

Its more of a penis comparing contest more than anything.

I'd take your guys in a heartbeat over ours. How ****ing sad is that?

dont forget that KU will go to a better bowl and we will have to hear about that from you for the next 4 years how it wasnt fair....

Latest tweet from Chip Brown:

Got bumped off College Football Live today because the producer said, "Joe Schad is now reporting what you're reporting."

Haha.

I'm pretty sure all those figures were posted about 3,000 posts ago. Or maybe I just imagined seeing them. :D

Yeah, I wasn't sure. I've been following the thread, but the first 1000 posts were nothing but name-calling, pissing and moaning, so, I might have missed it.

Ignore. :D

:D Did UT give you permission to post this?

We all know Iowa's the ****ing athletic and academic cornerstone of the Big 10.

Everybody calls the Hawkeyes daddy.

HAHAHAHA

tbh that doesn't make me feel any better


i still can't believe the best we could do at football HC is Turner Gill. :sulk:


gawd dam milk drinking,no cussing,let the players pick their positions pussy is just as likely to stink as win anything. We just hired Mike Sweeney to run our football team.

hey ... at least our football team will know their bible studies.

It's not a guarnatee.

I bet Nebraska wishes they were in KU's shoes right about now huh? The jokes on them, am I right?

Why, are you a power broker with seats in mind ?:doh!:

This whole mess is a shame. B12 football & basketball over the last 3 years have been at the top of the NCAA or right there close and now we get this crap.

Greed will do it all the time.

Who did you want to hire?

Even if they're in different divisions they can still have an annual game PLUS a potential conference championship game rematch.

If the whole thing hinged on a new deal for the big 12

Why didn't the big 12 just do that to begin with and all of this mess would never have happened.

Keitzman said there will be no divisions

:doh!:ROFL

Daggumit, almost true though.

ROFL Yeah the west coast schools are dying to get into the B12. You should hear how they talk about you guys on the radio and in the news out here. Not very flattering.

Colorado got itchy feet first and NU didn't like Texas flexing their muscle.

Well, the JuCo's and 2-star recruits in Texas and Oklahoma probably wouldn't want to go to the Huskers any more. They need to look at other states.

Oh my god! They're talking about us! I'll shut up now.

The theory is that the big 12 commissioner could never get a guarantee (other than logic from looking at the ACC getting a great deal) until this weekend. Apparently some network waited until the brink of losing it before finally swooping in with the promise.

:D

Don't piss us off, or we'll run another 12 game win streak over your ass.:evil:

Second-tier UT pivot boy says what?

would hiring somebody with a winning record be too much to ask?


apparently :grr:

The News Outlets:

Sunday Night: South schools to PAC imminent
Early Monday Morning: Remianing Big XII schools getting back together
Mid Morning Monday: Big XII doomed
Monday Afternoon: Big XII saved!

And they're laughing at us?

I don't much care for West Coast snobbery but it exists. The thought that AZ or CA schools would come anywhere near joining the B12 is laughable because of their attitude.

Basketball doesn't matter if it did KU wouldn't be a slave to Texas.

So you don't have a suggestion. You just want to whine about who they did hire.

not at the moment. we look like a bunch of reeruns trying to f**k a doorknob.

but being in a virtual tie for football supremacy with the SEC and the Big East in hoops should not be forgotten, despite the lack of media powers in the midwest.

You have a point about people on the West Coast. I wouldn't consider AZ schools to be in the same boat as the West Coast though. Arizona schools would make more money should they come to a Big 12 w/ the Texas schools.

How is KU a slave to Texas? Because everyone agreed it was OK to make 17mil as opposed to 9mil while Texas gets 25mil?

he's the same guy that apparently wants to fire Bill Self because he doesn't know how to teach offense. Every game thread was filled with his "god dammit Bill Self!!!!1111 its all your fault".

aaaaaaaand here we go.

He's a ****ing idiot.

Why isn't Texas leaving? Because they can control everything. The Pac 100 would be a better confrence for KU.

Ultimately, the Pac-10 is going to look pretty ****ing stupid.

They'll add two teams, Colorado and Utah, that cost more in revenue sharing than they bring to the table. Congrats.

California schools, I agree with.

Arizona schools? Hmm...

Nebraska has the same number of basketball championships as Kstate. EMAW!!!!!!!

You're about to find out how the Big 10 is going to be a "better conference" for Nebraska.

Get back to us in about 10 years and let us know how great it's been.

That's pretty funny.

I know you've enjoyed playing Julie McCoy to Nebraska, welcoming them to the conference like it's some dainty little tea party.

It isn't.

Nebraska has more money, more name recognition, was on the rise anyway, and this little coup they just pulled has done nothing but make it all that much better. Everything Iowa has, they're going to take. Forcibly. Top recruits, top bowl bids, and most importantly, games.

When they're digging your battered players out of the turf of Memorial Stadium, I'm betting you'll wish they were still in the Big XII.

Enjoy. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

you're such a dick

if i said KU was great you would say what KU did sucks and be a mouthy,arrogant florida prick

if i say was KU did sucks ... you argue, for some stupid reason, and start being a mouth,arrogant florida prick


just **** off man-who-likes-his-state-to-look-like-a-penis

Only Saul's logic would say moving to the Big Ten is a bad move.

Football doesn't matter cuz if it did OU still wouldn't be a slave to Texas.

Yeah, there really isn't any other conference out there that has one earning maker that much higher than everybody else. Texas is by far and away the highest earning university in the nation when it comes to athletic department revenue. 17 million to stay in the conference is OK w/ me. Although I would prefer a Big 12/Big East merger someday w/out Texas so they don't have as much control over the conference as a whole.

Spoken like a true closet Nebraska fan :D

I don't think KU would be making as much if they went to the PAC-10. Riding Texas' coattails gives everyone involved more (including Nebraska), I guess we're all Texas' slaves in that regard? I don't have any issues with that.

I live in AZ, get to CA several times a year. The attitude toward the midwest is the same here as in CA.

LMAO

But, but...the Hawkeyes will totally beat the shit out of Nebraska's wrestling squad!!!!

Okay, I laughed so hard, my eyes are watering.

Damn, you have 2 valid points. The 1st is reality. The 2nd is a possibility in a few years after the Pac 10 blows up. Hey, ya never know, Stanford might tell all the other idiot schools to get with the program on academics.:D

The whole NCAA is nothing but a cash cow ....... no wonder their is so much corruption in college athletics.

I think it has more to do with getting a lot more money here than elsewhere than anything else. They didn't seem to have any problem with not "controlling everything" back before the big 12 was blown away with this new TV contract promise.

:spock:

It's not even his state. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't he from Kansas originally?

Colorado (and Texas) both turned down invitations from the Pac 10 back in the 90's before the Big XII was formed. CU leaving for the Pac 10 has always been a "when" not an "if," and only 2 firm Pac 10 invitations went out in this whole process, CU and Texas. The rest of the Big XII South's invitations were conditioned on Texas accepting their invitation.

CU leaving had nothing to do with itchy feet or jumping the gun, this has apparently been in the works for awhile.

I don't trust those weasels.

Not being able to have a Texas network is also a huge deal. Huge.

Are those numbers official? Has a deal been struck?

Which makes it funny bc that is the only state Laz likes.

This is what I see, reason point # 2 in a previous post.

He was born there, but moved to Florida and was abruptly sodomized by an alligator as a youth.

Thus forming his lifelong allegiance to all things Florida.
