So back to sports: when does your basketball coach come off NCAA suspension for his cheating? Just curious what it must be like to have one coach barred by the NCAA and the other coach under probation by the school for his public drunkeness.

I'm pretty sure Kansas fans don't have to wonder what receiving penalties from the NCAA feels like.

Nope, our coach has never been suspended by the NCAA. Not in 120 years. You must be proud of Frank Haith.

I guess you don't have to wonder what it feels like to tear down goalposts after winning a non-rivalry game against an opponent who won't even qualify for a bowl, either...

Who is getting that extra bowl slot that the Big 1? can't fill, btw?

I notice how you carefully parsed your words (non-rivalry) so as not to have me pull out the hilarious 2002 Brad Smith photo again.

I know how much you love talking about things that happened more than a decade ago.

Maybe Ohio or Louisiana-Monroe? They filled the Independence Bowl slots that neither the SEC or ACC could fill last season.

Ironically Notre Dame is filling in for the Big 12 in the NYC Bowl.

Mizzou was itching to take it, but didn't qualify. They should just re-name it the Mizzou Shreveport Classic.

Your entire team was banned from postseason play in 1989. I suppose that is different from a suspension (which only affects the coach for 5 games and has no post-season implications), but I can't imagine you taking such care to parse the words.

Correct. Mizzou thought it sounded like a good idea and followed suit with the same ban 2 years later:

bwahahahahaha!

Kansas would shit themselves if they were able to make the Independence bowl.

Wow...the Big 1? will only have 6 bowl teams. No other major conference will have fewer than 8.

The SEC will have between 9 and 12.
