I'll disagree with one statement that's been made in this thread multiple times:
"This thread sucks". AFAIC, this is one the most entertaining threads this board has ever had. It's actually gotten better over the last 5 or 6 months. I love the banter back and forth. Great entertainment. |

Same with Mizzou. Not one person outside the state cares one iota about MU football. Not one. |

If MU would have stayed in the conference it would have been great. |

The SEC has done an incredible job of elevating it's teams into the national consciousness. Hopefully Mizzou can capitalize on the opportunity the SEC provides to become one of those programs. In the meantime, Mizzou fans get games against marquee opponents several times a season. Regardless of who we play out of conference, it's a fun schedule every year. Hell...Tennessee and Auburn are much cooler games than Oklahoma State and Baylor even if they are down. |

I still watch Big 12 games....I still pull for some of the Big 12 teams. I still think KU and MU should play but I don't lose sleep or whine that it hasn't happened. It WILL happen, and no amount of denial by anyone (KU or MU) will make that probability disappear. You assertion that Pinkel is begging KU to play MU is just your dreamworld in your head made up to make yourself feel better. Pinkel answered a question posed to him...and made an intelligent answer, that it would be beneficial to both teams financially to play. Your attempt to paint it as begging just further solidifies your lack of reality about the situation. |

It still doesn't make UT/AUB compelling to anybody outside the area. It's a shitty matchup between two crappy teams that 90% of America wouldn't care about. |
Here are the tv ratings for all the Tennessee and Baylor games I could find from 2012:
0.8 (1.5M) Tennessee N.C. State 7:30 PM ESPNU 3.1 (5.1M) Florida Tennessee 6 PM ESPN 2.9 (4.8M) Tennessee Georgia 3:30 PM CBS 0.7 (1.1M) Tennessee Mississippi St. 9 PM ESPN2 2.5 (4.2M) Alabama Tennessee 7 PM ESPN 2.6 (3.9M) Tennessee South Carolina 12 PM ESPN 0.7 (1.1M) Tennessee Vanderbilt 7 PM ESPN2 1.5 (2.2M) Baylor UL-Monroe 8 PM ESPN 3.1 (4.8M) Baylor Texas 3 PM ABC 2.1 (3.3M) Kansas State Baylor 8 PM ESPN 1.0 (1.6M) Baylor Texas Tech 2:30 PM FOX Looks pretty comparable to me. |

The only thing that chart told me was that Tenn and Baylor both got their highest rating was when they played a big name, traditional power. And didn't draw squat when they didn't. This is exactly why MU won't get any more "exposure" playing in the SEC than they would've gotten playing the OU-Tex types in the Big 12.
And the only basketball game they got to play on CBS every year? We know who that was. And why that was. They'll have to rely on Kentucky now for that. |

This blog over at ESPN seems to think that MU-KU is a good idea:

Well Bambi, I'm sure ESPN doesn't really care about Crapsville State we play first couple weeks, and our fans don't either. Everyone would rather see Mizzou. Too bad for the KC area they left, but I can't blame them for making their own decision.

The old big 12 is getting clowned by ESPN analysts this week as being weak. Interesting.

I'm glad Mizzou went to the SEC instead of Kansas... Holy Shit! Can you imagine how the beakers would be a squawkin' if they jumped ship to a power house conference.
It would be overbearing. Thank God they are playing the role of the stubborn we won't play you any more instead of look at us now haha! Mizzou like it or not is in the most stable conference in college athletics regardless of how they end up every year. |

You know it's football season when we hear "most stable conference" smack.

You also know it's football season when Kansas loses to Rice and their fans start talking about basketball.

If we can just get Heaps to feel comfortable back there this year, I think we could have a really good season next year. I think there's just too much "newness" with the JUCOs and rebuilt OL to make a reasonable attempt in the B12 this year, despite the conference being down. I don't know why its such a surprise for a basketball school with one of its most exciting recruiting classes to be talking about basketball. Unlike the majority of "football" schools, we actually have a legit shot at a NC there. When the academic year is done, what is Mizzou or KSU going to have their legit shot at? That's right, nothing. |
Sagarin has now split out the divisions in college football to provide a greater level of detail to his rankings:

Interesting read here...especially on Ohio State's schedule and whether or not they should get into the NCG if they run the table.

Sagarin is terrible. According to him, Mizzou is basically a toss-up against Florida, aTm, and South Carolina.

Winners and Losers: College football’s worst weekend lives up to its billing.
Graham Watson September 22, 2013 2:22 AM Dr. Saturday Kansas: It's been more than two years since Kansas could brag about a win over an FBS team ? until Saturday. Matt Wyman's 52-yard field goal as time expired gave the Jayhawks a 13-10 win over Louisiana Tech and snapped a 22-game losing streak to teams from the FBS. On the flipside, however, Kansas fans belong in our "Losers" section for rushing the field for a win against a 1-3 Louisiana Tech team. Hey, remember when Kansas was in the Orange Bowl in 2008? http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaaf-...13--ncaaf.html Only problem for this blogger (I won't tell you where he/she went to college at): it never happened. http://kentuckysportsradio.com/footb...re-not-kansas/ |
They rushed for LA Tech ROFL Why would they make it up?
|
Nice to see ku's celebration practice finally pay off.
|
I thought they were going to tear down the goalposts, but they just cut down the net behind it instead.

The TV coverage as well as the video embedded shows what happened. The TV coverage showed the team and the coach leaving the field and no students were on the field. I suppose the blogger was simply confusing the team's celebration with students. |
