I'm just glad Bevo threw us a life jacket before the Wildcat scourge drug us into the depths of irrelevancy.

You forgot to add "tier 3 university" worthless ****ing...

At least you're (Missouri Western) one Wildcat away from relevance. EVERYONE realizes that MU is a sub-par university.

LMAO

Pablo, you are so much funnier than hawkchief.

LMAO

MoWest played MU in a basketball scrimmage a couple of years ago. I'm pretty sure the final score was something like 100-45.

Pablo's just funny in general. (Beaker or not :p)

Hawkchief's constantly angry, always spitting venom... to the point where he can't be taken seriously.

Is that what comes out of a Longhorn? Thanks for the warning.

Hey guys have been busy the last couple days but it's good too see that everything worked out just the way I said it would.

Now, bring on NDSU!

Oh wise soothsayer, what moon shall haunt the sky on the morrow?

Who won?

Dude. You only mentioned about a thousand different scenarios. One of them was bound to happen.

Hey guys have been busy the last couple days but it's good too see that everything worked out just the way I said it would.

So this thread is about dead no?

So far so good.

Griffs of course.

We had a guy that played AAU ball with Brandon Rush on the squad, so natural progression dictated a MWSU victory.

That's what I assumed.

I don't know if this has been posted, and I'm not going to check, because this thread has been shit for the last 10 pages or so..... but, according to this article, KU was just behind UT in revenue sharing, in 08-09.

No surprise who's dragging the conference down.

Look at who has done the most with the least!

Bought Nebraska/K-state Tix Print Em'

:facepalm:

:facepalm:

So I guess the Big XII Championship doesn't mean anything in 2003?

Or the Big Six championship in 1934?

Fun fact, K-State is 4-2 against Texas (in football) since the Big XII was formed in 1996.

Nebraska? 1-8.

I can see why Nebraska wanted out. They were tired of getting their asses kicked by Texas.

I hope you didnt buy them cuz of this thread

Agreed.

I don't really understand how on earth Oklahoma is #1 and Texas is #2 but okay. I don't know one other school that sells out every single game, has as many games on national TV, gets to charge as much as they do for tickets, and Allen Fieldhouse is the second to largest capacity in the Big 12. Texas, does not usually sell out their stadium which is like 300 larger. What am I missing here?

The state of Kansas has 2.8 million people in the entire state.

The state is not unified for one team. Eastern Kansas is likely to root for Colorado, Southern Kansas for Oklahoma and some of Northern Kansas for Nebraska.

2.8 million people spread very thin doesn't provide the television revenue stream (i.e., Advertising dollars) that a school like Oklahoma, Nebraska & Texas can attain, mostly due to being traditional football powers for the better part of six decades.

In that case, Kansas just can't compete.

For the record, I'm kinda bummed that Texas decided to become the "Overlords" of the Big 12. I think Kansas would have been far better off in the long run joining the Pac-10.

Who knows? Texas may bail in the next five years, with one giant do-over ahead.

I think that was total disbursements, not just basketball. In other words, after all revenue was counted and weighted, KU was third despite the disparity of football versus basketball revenues.

Ah okay. That makes sense. I was reading it wrong. That is actually amazing that KU is #3 in total revenue payout w/ such a sh*tty revenue making football team. KU must be #1 by a huge sum in basketball revenue, and that is all the while getting fucked by the NCAA and that stupid NCAA tournament. The NCAA tournament screws the traditional power houses in revenue. Too bad there aren't BCS games in NCAA basketball.

Yea they really got their asses kicked considering every game was withint a touchdown. If you want to see ass kicking look up the Nebraska/ Kstate series.

Nope. My dad went to Kstate he wanted to see Nebraska play K-state one last time. He no longer likes the Huskers though.

When are the BCS conferences going to just make their own basketball post-season and say fuck off to the NCAA?

Dude, there are 2.8 million people in the entire state. There are more people in 8 square miles of where I live. That said, there is no unity among Kansas fans. Some root for KSU football, some root for KU football, some root for Oklahoma and some root for Nebraska.

Out of those 2.8 million, there are probably less than 400,000 that watch college football on a weekly basis, let alone for one school.

Nobody roots for Nebraska in Kansas Dane ROFL

I thought you meant basketball at first. But still, I highly doubt anywhere you go in Kansas is less than 65% Kansas fans. Especially in basketball. Alot of Kansans don't really care about the football team, but follow the basketball team religiously. Which is unfortunate, and why nobody wanted us in their conference.

Dude, this WHOLE THING was about football and football revenues.

Basketball revenues are paltry in comparison, which is why if the Big 12 had completely collapsed, KU, KSU, & ISU were in serious danger of landing with a mid-major conference.

Shh Dane let KU fans think this is about basketball while Texas gives them backshots.

Well, KU is 3rd in Big 12 revenue disbursement in the conference. Yet they are 11th in the conference in football revenue. That is pretty impressive if you ask me that basketball makes up for that shortfall. Especially w/ the NCAA tournament screwing Kansas over.

Keep spinning the wheels, its always been about football and be thankfull that Texas did the smart thing for themselves

Notre Dame, Arkansas: Come on Down
By Tom Keegan

Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys, former University of Arkansas football player and big-time power broker in the world of professional and now college athletics, is the driving force behind a potential move that would make the Big 12 the most compelling conference in the history of college football.

Jones, according to a source familiar with his thinking, wants his alma mater to play in a league with former Southwest Conference rivals Texas and Texas A&M. A visionary, Jones sees the Big 12 expanding with Arkansas and Notre Dame. Such a conference alignment turns on TV sets across America and sends cash gushing out of Big 12 faucets everywhere.

Since moving to the SEC, Arkansas football, once a loud national brand, has faded. Lack of SEC television exposure in Texas, at least until the past couple of years, has eroded what used to be the Razorbacks’ primary recruiting base. The decline of the status of Arkansas’ football program runs deeper than the talent that takes the field every Saturday. The Hogs haven’t developed rivalries as intense as they had in the SWC with their SEC brethren since the football team began participating in the league in 1992.

Not that SEC rivalries don’t exist for Arkansas, but they don’t match those the Hogs had with Texas and A&M. The Golden Boot, a 24-karat gold trophy in the shape of Arkansas and Louisiana, is awarded to the winner of the LSU game, but only since 1996. Arkansas first played Ole Miss in 1908 and the teams played seven overtimes in a 2001 meeting. Nice, but not quite Texas.

When Jones throws money and influence behind an idea, it tends to work for all parties, especially himself. He purchased the Cowboys for $150 million in 1989. Forbes.com estimates the franchise’s value at $1.65 billion and puts Jones’ net worth at $1.2 billion. Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, would make a nice permanent home for the Big 12 football championship game, just as the Sprint Center would for the Big 12 basketball tourney.

It’s more difficult to read Notre Dame’s feelings because the school’s officials don’t get involved in doing business publicly. For all the hits Notre Dame takes as a so-called “hype machine,” the school deserves credit for conducting itself with class.

Conspiracy theorists wonder whether the Big Ten, long lusting after Notre Dame, will try to lure the Fighting Irish by recruiting a few Big East schools, blowing up that conference and leaving ND with nowhere else to turn. Ole Notre Dame would not reinforce such evil tactics and could find a more profitable home by joining hands with Texas and the other 10 institutions, including Arkansas, to form a Big 12 TV network that would blow away the hugely successful Big Ten Network.

Asked Tuesday about expansion plans, Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe said, “We’re not looking to expand at all and certainly we wouldn’t look to expand with any institutions that are in our geographic, five-state area.”

Those five states are Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas. Notre Dame is in Indiana. Arkansas is in Arkansas. Oh Danny Boy, make it happen. Bring the Irish and Hogs to the Big 12.

I live in Western Kansas.

Yeah, that would be pretty awesome. But those two teams aren't going anywhere. You would think both of those schools could still make alot of money. Big 12 could give ND a deal like Texas, but I really don't think Arkansas could make anymore money than they make in the SEC unless Notre Dame were to confirm they are coming to the Big 12. Jerry Jones was probably just drunk and talking to some college kid w/ a cell phone again.

So what's the over/under on the number of holding and personal foul calls that are going to go against Nebraska and Colorado this year?

Each game Nebraska is winning the clock will freeze at :01 until the other team wins.

I think the more logical explanation is that year that that table is displaying is the single year that KU went to a BCS bowl and won the NC, thus I'd venture to guess that they are not 3rd in revenue every year.

I'm just going to say a while back in this thread someone was arguing with me because I said there would be no 16 team conferences. I'm not looking it up but inproved you wrong, dick.

ROFL

Why is that funny? "Compelling" is fair, no? A conference with OU, Texas, Notre Dame, A&M, and Arkansas would turn on a lot of television sets for a lot of different reasons.

Strongest? No. Compelling? Sure.

The "most compelling conference in the history of college football" is an overstatement, don't you think? If the Big XII added ND and Arkansas (which won't happen), it still wouldn't be the most overpowering, or attention grabbing college football conference currently, yet in the history of college football.

com·pel·ling

–adjective

1.tending to compel; overpowering: compelling reasons.

2.having a powerful and irresistible effect; requiring acute admiration, attention, or respect: a man of compelling integrity; a compelling drama.

I think you mean Kansas screwing themselves in the NCAA tournament.

Also, yes, you make a lot more than other Big 12 schools in basketball revenue. That doesn't necessarily mean it makes more than your football revenue. Not saying it doesn't, because I don't know.

You guys are still whining about that good call?

Has anyone noticed how Missouri maneuvered the two teams that most famously cheated them out of victories right on out of the Big 12? Goodbye and good riddance to the Colorado Fifth Down Buffalos and the Nebraska Kick-to-Catch Huskers.

LMAO

Too much irony for me.

Yes, compelling. That is indeed the word: tending to compel.

I just heard on 810 so take it for what its worth: The Pac 10 was trying to switch OSU with KU at that last minute and Texas didn't like this so that's why they decided to stay.

ROFL

Why would Texas care?

Yes. Most likely crap.
I don't know.

910 is reporting that the Pac-10 was trying to switch OSU for MU.

The use of the word compelling is fine. Putting "most" in front and "in the history of college football" after is what makes the statement comical.

The sprots animal in OKC was saying that OU wouldnt every leave OSU... so no OSU no OU.... Texas and OU need each other. period! So OU wouldnt go with out OSU, Texas didnt want to break up the OU connection...

ROFL

Chip Brown reported this which is where they got it from. He said this was one of the things that caused Texas to reconsider.

Bwaaaaahaaaaaaa! This thread is going to make my day. Again.

710 was reporting that KSU might get the call, but the negative was that they were chained to KU.

:clap: very well played!

"Dey Plane Boss! Dey plane! The Pac 10 plane was on it's way".

There are newspaper articles in Lincoln and Omaha saying NU could go to court over the exit penalty.

Cool. And after they lose they'll have to pick up the legal fees that Texas accrues.

Couldn't beat em on the field. Won't beat em in the courtroom.

NU and CU shouldn't have to pay anything. Dan Beebe came up with a bunch of money this past weekend after both of them left. The Big 12 obviously doesn't need more money. Several Big 12 people have even said NU and CU didn't hurt the conference by leaving.

Well, this could be entertaining.

Why? Did the league dissolve? Was there a signed contract about the penalties an institution would incur should it leave the conference?

We're about to take our newly polished Longhorn for a spin and let it treat Nebraska and Colorado like a froglight.

This is about damages, and NU and CU didn't damage the conference by leaving.

A contract is a contract. Fair has nothing to do with it.

This is about contracts.

While I agree that CU and NU leaving doesn't hurt the conference by leaving, that's not the point.

The conference bylaws refer to damages, not contracts.

link?

LMAO. Anyone? Anyone?

can you give us a link?

well you got us there....
