When these things happen, it seems everybody smells blood in the water. Ironic that this time, I didn't see a lot of retaliatory cracks from the other side.

Wow, that's harsh.

Weis ain't ****in around.

Sims f***** up. What is he going to do? Take away his dessert for a week and suspend him for a single inconsequential game?

Why do you think that is?

The Bill Self/Bill Snyder way - don't do shit. Seems to work much better that way, IMO.

Guess you're right.

It is Kansas by the way, where respect and honor mean something.

Talk about obsession.

I follow #kufball on twitter, and more than half of the tweets and retweets are derogatory cracks on Coach Weis and KU football by K-State fans.

Time to start spamming hashtags.

Ok, this is just dumb. I can understand if WV were to get to a BCS bowl and then get throttled ala Hawaii a few years ago against Georgia. But WVU has a winning record in BCS bowls. They proved they belonged there.

Don't cloud their fantasy with facts. They're off to the SEC to learn them boys how to play football.

MU fans will stop at nothing at claiming BCS wins are meaningless. Unfortunately for them they are the only people in the college football world who perpetuate this.

I'm not sure where you get the idea that Mizzou fans don't think they're important. Our Sugar Bowl and Orange Bowl trophies are prominently displayed.

Were those pre-BCS or BCS era?

** Nevermind, I looked it up. I'm guessing the answer is "before Saul was born".

BCS has only been around since 1998. I've no problem with Saul taking pride in Sugar Bowl wins or Orange Bowl wins, but they have only been part of the BCS since the existence of the BCS. It's like a guy that was part of a Navy Amphibious Scouts and Raiders and claiming to be a Navy SEAL. There might be a historical basis to the claim, but it is, in fact, inaccurate.

The selection may have been as rigorous, perhaps even more so, but if I recall correctly, the bowl selections were more closely aligned with league membership rather than the process today that is certainly different, and many would argue, flawed.

That said, the reigning national champion didn't win their conference, nor did they even win their division of SEC. The irony seems to be lost on many.
