This topic deserves a thread title IMO. With a win today, KU clinched it's 2nd straight Big12 Championship and it's 6th in 10 seasons, which this season's title will be shared by Texas if the Longhorns can beat OU in tomorrow's game. The Jayhawks can win it outright with a TX loss. This is about the only way I would ever root for Blow U in anything. With this young team, very few to no people would have thought this would have been possible. Especially the way the season started out. Rock Chalk Jayhawk Go KU!

They've clinched a share based on record, but since Texas thrashed them head to head, if Texas beats OU they are the real champion and will be the #1 seed in the Big XII tourney.

Technically there isnt such thing as a "real" champion in a "co-championship", because Texas lost some games against teams that KU defeat. The #1 seed is the only thing based off of the head to head matchup at this point, that is if TX can beat OU tomorrow.

The Rock Chalk Chant

The Rock Chalk Chant is perhaps the most distinctive cheer in all of college sports. Some have likened it to a Gregorian chant, but anyone who has been in Allen Fieldhouse and heard the chant start low, then build and roll over the crowd knows that it is much, much more.

The "Rock Chalk" chant dates to 1866, when it was adopted by the University Science Club. A chemistry professor, E.H.S. Bailey and some of his associates were returning to Lawrence from Wichita on a train. As the story goes, they passed the time by trying to create a rousing cheer. The sound of the train's wheels on the rails suggested a rhythm and a cadence to them. At first, the cheer was "Rah, Rah, Jayhawk, KU" repeated three times.

Even though KU didn't have a football team until four years later, KU students quickly took up the chant. Later, an English professor suggested "Rock Chalk," in place of "Rah, Rah" because it rhymed with Jayhawk and because it was symbolic of the limestone, also known as chalk rock, surrounding Mount Oread, the site of the Lawrence Campus. It became the official cheer of the University in 1897.

Teddy Roosevelt pronounced the Rock Chalk Chant the greatest college chant he'd ever heard. It was used by Kansas troops fighting in the Philippines in 1899, the Boxer Rebellion in China, and World War II. At the Olympic games in 1920, the King of Belgium asked for a typical American college yell. The assembled athletes agreed on KU's Rock Chalk and rendered it for His Majesty.

The words to the chant are simple. "Rock Chalk, Jayhawk, KU" repeated five times. The chant is special not because of the words, but because of the tone in which it is chanted and the distinctive cadence in which each verse is delivered. The only way to really appreciate the chant is to sit in Allen Fieldhouse before a Missouri game. But, if in need of a fix, the links below should recall the rocking rafters of Phog's place.

Oh my God YOU'RE RIGHT! I guess we needed to switch conferences this year to avoid playing in the weak Big XII. I guess next time we'll learn. Idiot.

Minimize it all you want, we won 13 of the 16 games we played in conference.

Now, perhaps you should look into the, "Go **** yourself" option. Have a lovely day.

Don't mind him - his girl left him for a real man (KU grad), and he's been passed over at work for every promotion and raise that came along because he works with KU grads and just isn't capable of competing. Sad, alone, and demoted to the janatorial staff, he finds his only joy in life is recording and masturbating to KU losses. His favorite sock has been washed 6 or 7 times since the Texas loss and is already starting to stand on its own again.

These kids grew up a lot but are still unpredictable. I'd love to see them get another shot at Texas in the big XII tourney and see if they learned anything from the first matchup. Problem is they might look ahead to that game before reaching that game and lose to an inferior team. hopefully Bill's got em ready to go...

were started to raise more money and help the 'less fortunate' make the 'Big Dance'. It has diluted the importance of conference schedules, excluding a few like the Missouri Valley. Imagine the Big XII conference schedule where each team plays each other twice and forgoes the 'cup-cakes.'

Also, you had better hope that favorite sock helps you and Texas. Heaven forbid the Sooners win today.

That's great coming from a member of the always clever Kansas State fan base that continues to wear Bucknell shirts because their own team has no acheivments to brag about; who cleverly chants "Big 12 refs suck!" Good one.; cheers injuries (Jeff Hawkins yesterday); and throws shit on the floor during games (three times yesterday).

The insanity must end my Jayhawk brethren. These misfits from Mizzou and KSU want nothing more than to ruffle our feathers by making the same tired statements about our basketball program and invoking their football programs as a part of the basketball argument. We are falling into it, myself included. We should stop giving them the satisfaction of arguing back, it's what they want. It's all they got. Their entire existence as KSU/Mizzou basketball fans at this time of year is to argue about what chokers KU are, and how little their accomplishments matter, and Ooh BUCKNELL! They do this because their teams have nothing going on beyond next Sunday to cheer for. They have no banners to hang, they have no horns to toot.

They call us snob hill, I say embody that. Show them that we don't need to argue, endlessly, something that we all know the answer to, but they don't want to admit. Our program, traditionally and this year is better than their program. Kansas basketball is on the national map, and theirs is not. They only wish they could make the claims we can about our team. I am taking a stand as of this moment: Don't feed the Kitties!

To me, it's like the crowd on Jerry Springer mocking the 400 pound woman in the thong... they start calling her a fat whore and she says they're all just jealous.

I like this analogy, and I can see how KSU fans are that fat chick in the thong all excited about finally winning against KU and MU fans are represented by the crowd of knuckle dragging troglodytes, but where are the KU fans in all of this? Oh right, their the folks at home who are smart enough not to watch that crap.

Based on pretty much the only tv outside of football, college basketball, hockey, and Lost I watch (and lost may not last much longer).... it would be like Meg going to school and acting popular.

Although Texas would get the #1 seed and be the Big 12 regular season champs should they win today, I would rather have KU win. I still hate the Texas schools for ruining the Big 8 and stealing KC's yearly Big 8 tournament as well as moving the Big 8 HQ out of KC.

IIRC, the the same thing happened last year. I remember seeing KU Big 12 champion garb for sale up in KC last year although OU was the #1 seed in the tournament and had the tie breaker over KU.

Big games bring in alot of johnny come-latelies that don't understand basketball, or even the finer points of the game.

We got there rather late (an hour and 40 minutes before tip off), so the line was back towards the restrooms at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. We had to sit in the middle of section 23, which sucked. There were 4 or 5 girls in front of us who acted like they had never even been to a game before. They didn't know you were supposed to stand on the bench in front of you. However, we did get to sit next to Justin Williams.

And the "Big XII refs suck" chant was uncalled for this time. They don't stop play for an injury when the other team has possesion. Too bad our fans don't know that. FWIW, I was pleased with the officiating this game. Normally the Hawks bring in their own refs, but I thought they actually got homered this time around. Too bad we couldn't take advantage of that.

Yeah. You're right on. Yesterday I had a girl explaining to me how the refs cost K-State the game again this year. But come on, it was a 14-point game. There were some questionable calls and no-calls on both ends, but none more than a usual Big 12 game. IMO, if anything, it was called a little too tight. But that's how it goes.

Anyway, as my boss and I were walking out he commented on all the food boxes and such that were laying around at the student entrance. This is his first year here. He's on the border of Big East/ACC country and he said "Did people really camp out for this?" I told him they did. He was shocked. He asked if they ever camped out for any other games. I told him not even close.

Exactly. No postseason. He may get lucky and get an NIT bid this year, but who the **** cares. Postseason should be the goal for K-State every year, without a doubt.

I don't think this is unrealistic for every 6 years, for Kansas State University :

4 NCAA Appearances

Anyway, as my boss and I were walking out he commented on all the food boxes and such that were laying around at the student entrance. This is his first year here. He's on the border of Big East/ACC country and he said "Did people really camp out for this?" I told him they did. He was shocked. He asked if they ever camped out for any other games. I told him not even close.
This was the biggest line i've ever seen, no doubt. The possibly of sweeping KU had us excited. Like I said..I arrived at 1:20 (1 hour and 40 minutes before gametime), and was at the gates of BSFS.

"Woolyville" outside the SE entrance was pretty nasty. I'm amazed they had it cleaned up within a day.

Exactly. No postseason. He may get lucky and get an NIT bid this year, but who the **** cares. Postseason should be the goal for K-State every year, without a doubt.

I don't think this is unrealistic for every 6 years, for Kansas State University :

4 NCAA Appearances
1 NIT appearance
1 down year where we miss the postseason

Yup. So, what do you think needs to be done?
Fire Wooldridge and get someone who can recruit better?
Fire him and get someone who can coach better?
Fire him and get someone who can do both better?
Or keep him?

I'm just curious. I asked my FIL (KSU grad) this same type of question the other day.

Perhaps KU will get the chance to face Roy Williams' team in the Dance. That would be interesting although bloody.


Even though KU fans would love to hate to see that game, that game has no significance anymore now that Miles, Langford, Simien, and Lee are all gone. I could give 2 shits about Moody and Vinson. In my eyes those arent Roy's Boys, even though Moody is from his hometown HS.

Kansas tip-ins

• The Big 12 title is the 49th conference championship in KU history, moving the Jayhawks into a tie with Kentucky for all-time league crowns, according to research by the Ohio Valley Conference. Following Kansas and Kentucky on that list are Penn (35), North Carolina (31) and Utah (31).

• With three steals Saturday at Kansas State, guard Mario Chalmers has 81 for the season and broke the KU freshman record of 80 held by Darnell Valentine (1978). Chalmers needs seven steals to break the Big 12 freshman record.

• Brandon Rush became the fourth KU freshman to surpass 400 points. Rush has 408 points. He joins Danny Manning (496), Kerry Boagni (408) and Paul Pierce (404) as KU frosh to score 400 points.

Fire him and get someone who can do both better. You know, his recruiting hasn't been half bad. He's had several top flight recruits commit. Cartier Martin, Dez Willingham, Marques Hayden, Nick Williams..all highly rated coming out of high school. All but 1 of them has left the program for one reason or another. Cartier is still around, but he is being misused as a 4 when he should be a 3.

He can't develop players. There really hasn't been a single player I can look at and say "Wow, his game has really gotten better over the years".

He constantly patches up holes with "role players" and JUCO players. We get some pretty good JUCO talent in here, too. The problem is they are only here for a couple years.

Overall, as a recruiter, i'd give him a 6.5/10, 10 being the best.

As for his coaching, he sucks. No way to sugar coat it.

I think Wooly will do good at a mid-major program. He will get a HC elsewhere because he runs a clean program, graduates players, and is a like-able guy.

March 5, 2006

Complete Bracket in PDF Format

DALLAS - Kansas and Texas have earned a share of the 2005-06 Big 12 men's basketball regular season title. It marks the sixth overall crown for the Jayhawks, and the Longhorns' second league regular season championship.

KU and UT finished 13-3 in league play. The Longhorns will be the No. 1 seed in the Phillips 66 Big 12 Men's Basketball Championship by virtue of an 80-55 win over the Jayhawks during the regular season.

Again, unless you get a coach who can get the best out of his talent, you will still be around # 80 - 100 on that annual invite.

It's not like KSU get top notch talent as a KU, UNC, Duke, AZ, UK, MSU. They get the lesser talented kids that have to work harder, which means they need a coach that can make them better.

He never broke the top 4 of an 8 team league, either.

He is doing well at a mid-major where Basketball is there only trick. I think Wooly will fit in well and also do well in a similar situation.

The way I saw it explained last year (when we split with OU) is that had we played OU twice, once at home and once on the road, and they beat us in both, then they would be the outright champs. But I guess the Big XII figured that homecourt is such a huge advantage, that to prove a team better when tied for first you'd have to beat them in their barn. Would Texas have beaten us in AFH? Who's to say, probably, but this isn't a philosophy class, it's real life.

Don't yell at us, it's the Big XII rules, we'll just keep collecting the trophies!

You are wrong. I would love for the tournament itself to mean more than it does now, which is for the most part, nothing. It lets the good teams improve, or worsen their NCAA seed, and lets the small teams try to strengthen their resume for an NIT bid.

This would ELIMINATE the fake/co-conference champs, due to the division of the "North" and "South" teams.

True, but still doesn't change my point. In the Big XII, it would be an aberration for a lower seeded team to "get hot" and win the conference tournament and deemed champs, but IMO, that would justify the championship.

The NCAA hands out its championships via a tournament system, it doesn't hand out a title for the best overall record and/or ranking. Why not use the same system for the conference?

Because you are demanding that the highest seeded teams be on their game for that particular day. That's what the NCAA tourney is for.

So far, everything you are bringing up are also things that teams must face in the regular season. I'm offering a simple solution to the "co-champion" shit.

Coming off the heels of Hartman and Kruger, he had a tough act to follow. Kitty Nation expected the same results, but if IRC, Kruger didn't leave the cupboard full of talent when left town either. Dana had his work cut out for him. But yes, he was going down hill and the talent was going elsewhere.

Was it coaching or recruiting ? I can't answer, but I do know he has done well since he left KSU.

IMHO, I still say a young and upcoming coach that has had to deal with recruiting lesser talent is your best option.

BTW, idiot does not faze me, I have family and friends who call me worse. :D

It was still very weak conference in comparison to all of the other 6 power conferences in the nation (ACC,SEC,BigE,BIG10,Big12,PAC10,) IMO.
He called it a minor conference. America East, Southland, Patriot, those are minor conferences. I'd consider C-USA currently to be mid major with only Memphis as a legit power team. Under the old lineup it was a low major, high mid major if such things exist.

You know I meant no ill will with the CP lexicon.

As far as I'm concerned KSU must make a splash with this next hire. Last year, I was willing to go for Bruce Pearl (UWm). But KSU stayed the titanic course and - lo and behold - 6-10 in conference. (in what has to be the weakest Big 12 conference since it was formed.) Bruce Pearl? Oh he took a crummy Tennessee team and has them near the top of the SEC.
It's not that difficult to get inot the NCAA tourney. There is absolutely no good reason why KSU has sat dormant for 10 f'ing years in March.

NOW is the time to go get Huggins or Richardson. It brings immediate credibility to the program. And we know they can recruit.

I want Huggins. Everybody I know wants Huggins. He may be expensive, but the minute he's hired Bball tix will fly out of the ticket office. He's got baggage, and I'm willing to live with it.

Self wondering why Big 12 had a trophy for Texas but not Kansas

By DOUG TUCKER, AP Sports Writer
March 6, 2006

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) -- When Texas beat Oklahoma 72-48 Sunday afternoon to clinch a tie with Kansas for the Big 12 championship, the Longhorns were handed a handsome trophy to hoist in a midcourt celebration.

The day before, when Kansas beat Kansas State 66-52 to clinch at least a tie with Texas, nobody from the Big 12 office was even at the game to congratulate them.

ADVERTISEMENT


The co-champions from Austin were pictured in newspapers and on television proudly displaying their Big 12 trophy. The co-champions from Lawrence merely got back on their bus and went home without so much as a handshake from anybody from the conference office.

Is a conference that is headquartered in the heart of Texas, whose officials all live in the Dallas area, betraying a Texas bias?

Kansas and Texas often wage fierce recruiting battles for the same prospects. Even the slightest edge -- such as getting your picture in the paper holding a championship trophy -- can prove telling.

Needless to say, Kansas coach Bill Self and many of his fans were taken aback, and a somewhat irate Self was on the phone Monday morning with Dallas.

He heard right back from them.

"The Big 12 called me and apologized," Self said. "They said they were sorry that our guys were not recognized, and that it was a mistake.

"Their response was, `Bill, we made a mistake.' They said their policy is you don't recognize a team and you don't send a trophy until after (a championship) is clinched. It was a mistake by the conference office that the trophy was allowed to get to a particular school."

A Big 12 official told The Associated Press the problem was with the trophy company in Oklahoma City.

"The trophy was inadvertently sent to Texas due to a miscommunication from our office," said Rob Carolla, director of communications.

Carolla said part of the confusion stemmed from the fact that no one was certain heading into the final regular-season weekend who would win the title. If Kansas State had beaten Kansas and Oklahoma had beaten Texas, then the Jayhawks, Sooners and Longhorns all would have tied.

"It was just a miscommunication with our office and that's why the error occurred," Carolla said. "Kansas will have a trophy tomorrow."

Self said he's satisfied the mistake will not be repeated.

"I hope the policy is revisited because any team in our league that wins a championship is deserving of being recognized, any sport," Self said. "Whatever championship it is, you should be recognized by your conference. Obviously, we were not."

2 things, Saul. I disagree with making the Big 12 Tourney Champ the Conference champ overall. A body of work over a 16 game schedule is much more impressive than a team that can get hot and win a 4 day tourney, IMO. Regardless of what has happened in the conference's short history, it is still always a possibility that a team that didn't have a very good record in the regular season could end up getting hot at the right time and winning the conference tourney.

You could end up with a conference champ with a .500 record or even a losing record. Frankly, that is not really fair to the team(s) that have earned it by playing well consistently throughout the season. I know football has a champ game but that is only between the North Champ and the South Champ. Who knows if KSU would've won it a few years ago had they had to play a tourney against all 12 teams.

Saulbadguy
03-07-2006, 11:05 AM
It hasn't happened though. I doubt it will happen. Plus, if a team can win 4 games in 4 days over the best of the Big XII, they deserve to be called Champions.

The North/South division sucks. Another thing I was pondering was having a full rotation. Each team plays each other twice, regardless of being in the north/south. No more co-champions.

This is a great idea. Instead of shortening non-con, eliminate the tournament all together. The conference champ gets the auto bid.

If it was a team that you play twice, and you lost both times, well then I might buy your arguement. But since we only got one chance at Texas, and it was on their home court, I believe the tie is valid.

Or, take into account the last two games against that team, in this case Texas. We did to them last year, what they did to us, and it would be a split.

I'm surprised more hasn't been made of Self's "Bush League" comment in regards to Texas getting a trophy after their win, but not us. Apparently there was a mix up and there should have been no trophy at either venue. The rule says that a trophy only goes if the team would still be at least tied for 1st with a loss. This was not the case, but a trophy was sent to one and not the other because of some new guy at the conference headquarters.

I don't like that Self whined about it publicly. Make your call to the Big XII office and take care of it that way. Saying something to the press is pretty gay. He should have (or should still) use it as extra motivation.

why would you even consider games that were played last year with 2 completely different teams?

that would mean that Simien, etc had influence on this year's team winning the Big12. and Aldridge and Tucker were both inactive for that game.


I'm the biggest KU homer in the world and I have no problem raising the banner, but I can't take pride in sharing a title with the team that brutally kicked our asses; wasn't even close.

I never said anything about tradition. It's you folks who nearly prolapse you rectums at any perceived slight.


Probably it's more like what you posted was completely wrong.

Well, having watched Memphis all these years and hating the S*&% out of him....


...I'm positive he'll be the next K-State or Mizzou coach. He's following me around.

In 1992, Huggins called Memphis fans sitting behind the visitors' bench "the most obnoxious people in America."
Awesome. I want a coach that opposing teams fans hate. 11 out of 12 coaches in the Big XII love Jim Wooldridge.

I wonder if this means that KC will get an AFC West Championship banner for winning the AFC West back in 99 when we finished tied with Seattle at 9-7 but never beat them during regular season.

Hmm... maybe Texas better turn over their co-championship claim to the better team. I guess our little friend phxchief is dissapointed he hasn't gotten any new wanking material lately. I suppose he's off beating his dog instead.

KU hasn't really won the Big12 the last 2 years.

If you tie with someone that you lost the only head-to-head, you get 2nd place. period.

anyone who disagrees needs to take off the crimson and blue glasses, and remember this when the roles are reversed


Hmm, what do you think about that now? :hmmm:

Thank goodness there is no AFC West "Co-Champions".

Well, I guess there might be if they only played the other teams in their division once. Bad comparison. Look, Texas had their chance to win it outright in their last 2 games, but they lost at Texas A&M.

I guess if we had had only one chance to beat them and it was at Seattle then your comparison would've been valid, MUron.
