Well I don't think KU is too concerned about their national ranking at this point under a new regime. Building a program comes through recruiting and victories. So far, so good in 2013.

The future is bright and shit.

They play football in college.

A Big 12 just beat the team that played for the National Championship last year in their building.

If you laugh at that I can't imagine what you do when you watch Missouri football.

lol, Arkansas State is running over you and you still talk shit.

Amazing.

That's the difference between our schools and football. I've seen mine come back from a one score deficit. You probably weren't aware that was allowed in college football, so I understand you giddiness, misplaced as it is.

Beakers laughing about 2 conference wins in the best in the land...hilarious

Well, yes and no. We would be additionally fired up if we had a successful football program to cheer for, but we do not get fired up for basketball as a default to football. They are not dependent on one another. While the BB may be a PROFESSIONAL football forum, the thread certainly isn't about that. Do we really need to hash out something so mundane?

Well, your opinion sucks. We will enjoy winning a basketball, and its just really hard to take crap from fans of schools that, while they might have a marginally better football team most years, still have nothing that really amounts to much, and its obvious this eats away at such fans so much that they have to try and kick the down sports program when they get the opportunity to. Its like a verbal bully that tries to find the one fault in someone else, despite other obvious strengths, because belittling it constantly is the only perverse pleasure they can muster.

You know who KU fans don't take constant crap from? OU and UT fans. You know why? because they have football programs that are "real" football programs. They don't have to kick around KU because its beneath them. They don't have to downplay KU basketball, because they realize what its like to be a titan in their sport. But not all the "middlings" that might have a good year once a decade that you never hear the end of it, that never have to keep taking whatever pot shot they can to cover the pain of having to cheer for a school that never really brings home the goods.

That's why your opinion sucks.

That's cool, but your opinion is reeruned, so there's that.

And OU/UT fans don't sling shit because KU fans aren't always pecking at them like a bunch of hens. SO THERE

ROFL

Dammit, just get an annual Kansas vs. Missouri game going. It's obvious that there NEEDS to be one.

Well, that's because we have a degree of respect for them. :evil:

Beakers mention basketball more than espn mentions Peyton manning ROFL

It is too bad they are too scurred to.

Its because they both drive ratings.

KU would love to play MU in football. Winning half the games is acceptable to most fans.

Too bad MU left the series.

Peyton drives a Buick

Haha, I'm stealing that for use against the Kansas pukes I work with.

Have an early season game at Arrowhead and that bitch would sell out in good weather. Have a home/home/Arrowhead setup. MAKE IT SO

Scared of the big bad SEC? I get it.

Outside of not having to pay for an easy win, really don't ****ing care if we play the beakers again.

It is like another home game. The 300 brave beakers squaking won't do em much good.

We understand when a school is too scared to play anymore and runs away.

Good luck in your new endeavors.

We're ready to play whenever you are. Name the date.

We'll even give you the first three home games of the series. Fair?

I think there's an opening in 2018. Come to talk to us then.

I don't respect OU at all, they were total asswipes during realignment, acting like they were some sort of ultimate catch. They deserve derision for te Wallflowers remark. Hope they lose every game forever. As for Texas they are what they are, rich and important and we rarely enter each others thoughts. I do appreciate them cutting us monster checks every fiscal year.

KU would never have gone to the S.E.C. They would have become 2nd in basketball right off the bat, and in football? They would finish dead last, well them and Kentucky.

I'm glad to see so many of the big time scheduling decision makers posting in this thread.

You guys let us know when you work that out.

LMAO

I'm with you. Your coach seems to be the only one begging for this.

Only 2 undefeated teams left in the SEC...Mizzou and Bama.

The Big 1? has completed its out of conference schedule finishing 22-8...worst winning percentage among the major conferences...trailing the B1G at 36-11.

Counting only opponents from BCS conferences, the Big 1? finishes 3-4.

No word on what Sagarin thinks of this.

Only 3 teams still undefeated in the Big 12... Oklahoma, Baylor and Texas Tech.

The Big Bevo is a got damned embarrasment

Hopefully they can get it together in time for the College Football Conference All Star Game.

I know I would want to play in the Big 1? if I were a high school football player.

Sagarin has Baylor 3 and OU 4 in today's updated ratings:


He also says there's very little diff between the SEC-east and the Big 12:
http://www.usatoday.com/sports/ncaaf...13/conference/

Sure there is, just posted it. It's public info Saul so you can pull it up eh whenever you want to.

Baylor is the best in the Big 12

Whenever I want to know what Sagarin thinks = never

Of course you don't. It continually destroys all your unsubstantiated nonsense.

Unsubstantiated? I'm right every time. Every. Single. Time.

Baylor has played 3 games...

Wofford
Buffalo
Louisiana-Monroe

Sagarin has them as the third best team in the country.

Sagarin is the Big 1? of football rankings...a joke.

Aqib Talib didn't claim Kansas in his intro...went with his HS instead.

Ohs Nos! Because no other NFL player has done that... ever.

Baylor and OU

Mizzou players don't do shit in the NFL.

Learn from a real program bitch.

You're right...Aldon Smith, Justin Smith, Sheldon Richardson, William Moore...I mean they don't do shit.

Aldon Smith is a great talent. I wish he played in the NFL.

I like the others as contributors but no real stars there.

Guys, from a KU fan, if you'd just put the fellow on ignore you'd save yourselves a lot of trouble.

Jeremy Maclin...Danario Alexander...Witherspoon...Ziggy Hood...all bums

Fun play. Wonder how the rest of the game turned out.

Another full reerun moment for you on this board I see.

The same as 3 other games of the last 20 between them.

If you're going to take a shot be ready for the repercussions. We can continue to watch the types of Chris Harris and Aqib Talib make big time plays in primetime and in the playoffs.

Or we can sit and watch Aldon Smith driving around drunk.

I prefer football.

LOL - Hey...have your people call my people...or are you SCARED?!?

Aldon needs help. Obviously he's a troubled man with a great deal of talent. But that alcohol problem.....I feel bad for him and I hope he gets better because that sucks for any human or their family, to go through.

I just wish the Mizzou culture that tolerates and applauds drinking & driving (Laurie, Pinkel, et al) would be taken more seriously by their fanbase. Before something awful happens.

Back when Mizzou was still around I made a thread documenting all their drug and alcohol abuse problems.

I agree it would be good to see them try and implement some kind of institutional control.

When their biggest donor and then the head football coach are both nailed for DUI in Columbia, it sets a terrible precedent for the athletes who go through there. How much of Aldon's alcoholism is attributable to these "leaders of men" is impossible to know. But the question must be asked.

I had the strangest thing happen to me today. I grabbed a new note pad, and someone had written a list of Pro Bowl players from KU playing in the NFL on every page.

Its not a shot, take off your fanboy glasses and take a look.

NFL College Pipelines per School

Missouri: 29

Kansas: 11

I honestly am not trying to bag on KU, but if you are going to come in to this thread with that weak statement then you are going to get served.

Maybe they can catch Louisiana Lafayette soon.

I can only imagine what an OU or Bammy fan would think of mizzou and Kansas arguing over who's better in football. Imagine it's like seeing two kids slapping each other on the Short Bus

OU hasn't been ranked #1 since Mizzou whipped their asses, so I'm pretty sure they would laugh that Kansas fans would even try to argue that they are anywhere near as good as Mizzou.

Alabama and Mizzou are tied 2-2 all time, but obviously Bama is miles ahead now.

Your statement reminded me of something I read on the Star comments section when MU left. "They think they are Alabam football and Kentucky basketball, but they're actually Alabama basketball and Kentucky football."

It's always fun to read your own comments in print. You and the other dozen or so middle aged dudes who read newspapers probably had a good chuckle and then went back to talking about basketball.

With Kiffin gone and now Texas beginning to move I think it's safe to say college football is in for a very interesting offseason once again.

I prefer to stay out of these pissing matches but I have to say something here. You can't really criticize Aldon Smith's behavior while at the same time praising Aqib Talib. Talib has been arrested multiple times for assault and battery and was suspended by the NFL for steroid use and violating their personal conduct policy. He is not a choir boy by any stretch of the imagination. He is a good football player though just like Aldon Smith is.

Damn, Bambi. Better get yourself a belt because you keeep getting caught with your pants down.

I've already noted that Aldon Smith is very talented. Probably the best Missouri player to play in the NFL maybe ever.

But he's currently not playing in the NFL and there doesn't seem to be a timetable for his return if ever.

Yeah, he's likely going to call it a career. Great call.

Make no mistake he will be back to playing sometime this season. I am sure he will be suspended just like Talib has been for his indiscretions.

Another short-bus fight. Sad. Did you know that when MU left they finished 7th o the Big 12 schools in historical win % just ahead of Kansas? It was a fun 120-year fight at the back of the short bus but now MU is the special needs kid going to a new school

No doubt Talib has had his issues in the past.

Hopefully Aldon can turn things around in his life as well.

I know you sometimes don't ever think before you post, but the names that comes to mind quickly are Kellen Winslow (Sr) James Wilder, Tony Galbreath, Henry Marshall, Russ Washington, Roger Wehrli, and Eric Wright all say hello!

Just for grins and giggles I bolded those who are in the NFL Hall of Fame.

You'd think that KU could have finished ahead of us in the Big 12 at least once ever...but you'd be wrong. They never did. Then, they had to watch Mizzou walk away with the drum in their last ever football game in the Big 12 and the conference championship trophy in their last ever basketball game in the Big 12.

Meanwhile, we're 4-0. Congrats on winning a game against a division I team, btw.

Don't forget we took the final big 12 baseball trophy also

Spanked the beaks

I considered Winslow. So as of right now, yes...he's the best MU has ever put in the league imo.

Hopefully Aldon can make it back into the league and continue a promising career. I think he has potential to join those two in the HOF.

I got to watch Mizzou lose to Norfolk State. That was the only one I saw live. It was more humorous than anything else.

James Wilder was REALLY damn good, got stuck on some horrid Buccaneers teams.
