****The official NEW new conference realignment thread.****

[Saul Good]

the second thread has been pronounced dead.

[WilliamTheIrish]

I'm too bored to search, and it was probably in the first thread, but I loved the "KSU is anchoring us" to the Big XII".

That or the "We had options" banner post.

Have no idea what was going on from 84-97, but I imagine Babs had a role in it. Last year, they finished 5-7 which sucks, but injuries (and Yost) killed the team. Regarding each issue, though, they appear to have learned from their mistakes and have made better decisions going forward.

On a related note, why hasn't ku tried to learn from their mistakes?

So, Bambi and Rustshack are incredibly stupid. Not exactly ground-breaking information.

Whoa I'm not stupid.

There was some of that circulating here, that the government in Kansas wouldn't let the schools split up or whatever.


I only tuned into 810 a couple of times online during the whole realignment madness, but I remember one time hearing KK play clips from Kirk Herbstreit where Herbstreit said plainly that he thought Missouri could compete right away in the SEC, and Keitzman then seconds later started mischaracterizing him and saying because the tone of his voice that Herb didn't mean what he said, and that what he really meant was that it was sure to fail. That Mizzou would rue the day, and that it wasn't even good for the basketball side of things, and that they'd be wanting to get back into the Big 12.

There was some other gold a different day when I listened, similar to what you'd read here, that the SEC wasn't interested, why would they be interested, there are no offers on the table, the whole thing was a false flag operation by Missouri trying to get a better deal from the Big 12... blah blah

I also learned a lot about the cookie diet, and barbecue.

I know your boys suck this year but they had better not let Kansas off the hook. Don't be the one who whiffs to keep the conference from batting around again this year.

Yeah I thought Iowa State could get away from the upgrade in talent alone, but the major lack of experience all the way around is killing us. And several injurys to our young inexperienced OL. And our shitty OC.

Glad it's basketball season.

This thread has been fun today.

NO other defection from the big 12 killed their own states economy as much as the MU one could. Thanks #mizzou

Good call.

As I asked Bowser earlier, what happens if Mizzou has another poor season next year? You seem to think it'll be because they "didn't learn". Which is weird because Florida didn't learn in 2011, then they learned again last year when they went to the Sugar Bowl, and have forgotten what they learned this year. Rollercoaster! Could've all been avoided had they learned.

aren't you the guy that keeps telling everyone that ISU has improved? This will be their year? How else would you qualify such perpetual takes?

I said it a few times. And the team was better the next year, just had a little worse luck and a harder schedule. I said this will be an interesting year because we lose nearly all our starters, but the talent level is improved so it could go either way.

I said basketball would be good the last few years, and they were. It's not my fault if you take good as great. Next year though, if Vaughn commits this spring we have a shot at greatness in basketball.

I don't know if you remember football and basketball before Rhoads and Hoiberg, but we have greatly improved under them. Paul overachieved with lesser talent, and now he's in a rebuilding year with young good talent.

Poor seasons will always happen, it's the nature of sports. The difference is our poor seasons still consist of wins while yours consist of well...you know.

So what? When you play in a conference as good as the SEC is, you're going to have some up and down years.
