Mizzou does not do the same shit with SLU. SLU does not have a long, running rivalry series (one of the top ones in the nation, and certainly one of the most heated) with Missouri like Kansas does with Mizzou.

It's apples to orangutans.

SLU was better than Missouri last year. Congrats. But it was not better the year before, or the year before that, or the year before that, and that doesn't make it a better overall program.

Funny how SLU really ramps up the talk about playing Mizzou in the 1-2 years every decade it actually has a good team. Where was this talk/outrage in 2010/11?

SLU is welcome to come play Missouri in Columbia, and that has been discussed. The problem is that SLU wants an equal home-and-home series, and Missouri only has a few slots for those, especially since the SEC is a weaker league than the Big 12 and the nonconference schedule needs to be more difficult as a result. It aims higher than A10 schools for those, generally. UCLA, N.C. State, Cal, Illinois, etc.

They've even talked about a 3-for-1 or 2-for-1 deal, but SLU got pissy, apparently.

We'll see how they survive the post-Majerus era. 5 of their top 6 scorers are gone after this year. Can Crews replace that talent?

You have to explain to SLU fans why it's ok to avoid them but not OK for Kansas to avoid you. You don't owe me any explanation, it's for the SLU fans.

As a fan of a Big 12 team I don't see the draw for playing teams from a lesser conference ala the SEC. It can only hurt our profile. Obviously basketball this isn't a competition. Football would be closer I guess but with our flagship whiping their ass with the SEC flagship this year I would be nervous to play teams from that conference. There's really nothing to gain and everything to lose.

Kind of like the flagship Big 12 basketball team getting their tail kicked at the hands of a SEC team this season.

Strong has three years to win the Title or his ass is gone.

Lawls.

Imagine how much more impressive that 6 point win wouldve been if you'd won in Allen Fieldhouse. That would be national news.

Good for Charlie. That's the way it should be.

But pretty much this.

LOL

"Yeah, you beat us, but you didn't beat us HERE, so it's not that big of a deal!!"

Pure awesome.

It's a weird concept I know bowser, so weird the RPI formula (as well as Sag and every other computer) weights road wins significantly higher. The RPI gives something like an extra 40% boost for them. SDSU winning at KU was far more valuable than Fla or CU beating them at home.


I only explain this because you probably didn't know how the data works.

You're trying to lessen the impact of a loss. Even with all this data ju-jitsu, it is still a loss.

Sounds to me like you're trying to put lipstick on a turd.

ROFL

Seems very Turner Gill'ish. I wonder how this will work out.
