It happens but not very often. Hell I'd argue that the NFL doesn't give you the two best teams in the Final.

MLB and the NBA, having best of series, IMO are the best way to get a true champion.

In all honesty the BCS does a pretty damn good job of giving us the 2 best teams over a 4 month stretch.

Shhhhh......

If you say that, the folks that are still outraged that OSU didn't get a shot will string you up.

I like the playoff format to a degree, but I don't like that there are 64 teams in it. Give me a 16 team tournament to decide the championship, maybe even a double-elimination tourny.

So you'll miss out on some upsets - so? With that short 3pt line, even the upsets have almost become cliche at this point. All the upsets really serve to do is make for shittier basketball once the Sweet 16 rolls around.

I'm a large conference snob; always have been. I don't care about mid-majors and I'm beyond tired of listening to Boise St fans bitch (though I think TCU had a legit gripe 3 years ago; that team was legit...though probably high). Championships really should be about figuring out who the best team all season was. The BCS does a far better job of figuring that out than the NCAA tournament does. I believe it's Wicklock that says CFB isn't a real sport because it doesn't have a playoff system, but CFB has been far more reliable in getting their champion right over the last 10-15 years than the MCBB has been.

Spot on DJ.


The BCS has the perfect system if they want a playoff. Take the top 8 and seed it out.

I also think that the CBB tourney has gotten too large. It really has to many shitty teams. Like you said, take the top 16.

Whitlock is a huge proponent of the BCS. He loves it.

So I heard a little of KK yesterday and all the guy could do was piss on MU's parade with a few sprinkles of comments that made him sound like he wasn't. Seriously, WTF is this guy's issue with MU?

My best bet is he along with a lot of the local journalists have to do more work.

I've listened to him almost every day for the past 2 weeks. He has eased up some on his comments about Missouri, but his only praises are like backhanded slaps

He's really, really pissed off about Mizzou going to the SEC.

He had a mini rant about it today. "Nobody I talk to likes it, even Mizzou fans!! It's just STUPID!!"

Wicklock - Wickedson's Cochran-esque, rainmakin' lawyer alter-ego.

He's been invaluable these last couple of days; though I suppose we should go with Wickedlock in order to clear things up.

This Mizzou basketball team has been playing so well he's had to grind his teeth and throw out a compliment or two. But yeah.

2 days ago he honestly said "You know that I hate to say this, but I'd have to vote for Haith as coach of the year...." As though it was like having to put his dog to sleep or something.

It's the last time I'll ever listen to him. I switched to 610 and henceforth in this Kingdom I'll listen to Wright or nothing. He's just unabashadly anti-Mizzou at this point but he'll kick and scream if you call him on it. He doesn't even try to be objective about it now.

He got burned so badly by the B1G thing, then made look so foolish by his squawking over the SEC (he makes the Beakers look positively dignified) that he just can't stand to give Mizzou credit for anything.

Or just flat hang up on a caller that does.

If you want to hear the definition of butt-hurt...list to KK talk about MU leaving.

Or Smoke n' Fire, or that golf guy, or whateverthe**** pizza...

The show is 50% adds, (not counting actual commercials) and the rest is is Keitzman displaying his wounded vagina.
