As soon as the MWC starts accepting offers from the Kansas schools, I suppose.

We are in a conference realignment thread and conference realignment is almost exclusively football oriented.
If MU fans start yacking about football during the annual NCAA tournament thread, feel free to chastise them for it, otherwise you're just talking out your ass.

UNC - remember the couple of years where they were in a down period (between Smith and Roy, IIRC)? They had a pretty good football program around that same time and suddenly you started to see some UNC pride in the football team. If UNC had both a contender in football and a contender in basketball - I think they'd become a 'football school' real quickly. KY - Same story. They started to get a little uppity when they had that fat shit, lefty quarterback that won them a few games and the post-Tubby era wasn't going gangbusters for them. Saul's right - with very few exceptions, a 'basketball school' will turn football school in a hurry if the football team is winning.

Missouri is a school with a good basketball team and a good football team. Therefore, MU fans care much more about football. This isn't that difficult.

3 in the NCAA tournament era (1952, 1988, 2008). 2 in the pre-tournament era (1922, 1923).

You don't think UNC could ever get a Garry Patterson and sneak in a couple NCs? Ever? Snyder almost did it with ****ing K-State. Look, I'm not arguing here that should a school have a rich tradition in both sports it would consider itself a basketball school over a football one. But a school's history definitely plays a huge part in how the fans perceive things. If KU had a top 25 football program for the last 10 years, we would still be calling ourselves a basketball school today.

I wish they wouldn't be breaking up all the conferences and the rivals. But I understand it. Sad pants.

It's not even about the NCs, it's about history and tradition.

I know, I was just correcting him. If you wanna talk history and tradition, KU has it. There's no denying that. And I agree with you. Because of that, we'll always be known as a basketball school even if we get a top football program.
