Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 118

Mr. Laz · 02:57 PM

A source in St. Louis familiar with the situation told NewsCenter 16 Thursday afternoon that Missouri will leave the Big XII and soon join the Big 10. Other schools expected to follow the Tigers are Syracuse, Pitt, Rutgers and Nebraska.

Many have speculated that such an expansion would include Notre Dame but ND athletic director Jack Swarbrick told me today that the Irish prefer to stay independent in football and in the Big East for other sports. Swarbrick said maintaining football Independence is such a part of what Notre Dame is.

He went on to say the Big East is a great partner for the University in other sports.

"We do have to monitor what is going on," Swarbrick said. "There will be significant shifts. "Hopefully we can navigate them by keeping our football independent and keeping our Big East affiliation because that is what we care about."

The move of Syracuse, Pitt and Rutgers to the Big Ten from the Big East could categorically change the landscape of the Big East itself. Thus, what Swarbrick is referring to when stating the University must continue to monitor what is going on.

The interview with Swarbrick was done before the late afternoon announcement.

I guess playing second fiddle to OSU and Michigan for, well forever and then having recent success makes you a national brand. I don't know shit about Iowa's history, well because they're Iowa.

Re-read what I bolded.

You jump in on EVERY conversation that says something about fat, or a fat girl. It's like a bulletin board pheromone for you.

...If the Big 12 implodes then KSU is going to a mid-tier conference one way or another. The only thing is whether they drag KU down with them....

I want it known right here and now, that I'm proud to be the anchor attached to the neck of KU fans as they slide briskly into the icy waters, thrashing for air, attempting to loosen the purple chains and cinderblocks that bind them, until one final gasp for air results in lungs full of water and death takes hold.

I had no idea the sway that KSU holds over their little brother. Complete and total ownership.

Let the epitaph read:

KU, we hardly ~~knew ye~~ cared.

No, seriously, pussy, what happens if both your teams go to hell at the same time? For years all we heard about was Denver, but then they take a dive and all of a sudden you're Mr. Iowa! I realize that as a gutless, pathetic internet troll, you apparently need to feel that you assert some sort of superiority over all us people that you'll never summon the courage to meet, so I just wonder what the next phase will be. This MY ORANGE BOWL IS BETTER THAN YOUR ORANGE BOWL!!! thing is rather amusing.

What's next? Perhaps you'll suddenly reveal that you've always been a life-long Yankees fan!

I'm sorry you don't approve of my insecurity.

If you were too much of a chickenshit to even post a snapshot of yourself, then you'd have issues.

Uh, you called someone out for the very thing you do yourself (fat obsession). Thus, the comment from me.

Being overweight doesn't really point to any character flaws in a person (in most cases), being a fan of certain schools, does though. Can we please get back to talking shit on the schools we attended or are fans of?

I actually agree with you on this. It's a dumb point. KState isn't holding KU back.
