In other news, Kansas has declined Missouri's offer to play in the non-conference instead opting to play against Northern Illinois, Rice, and the aforementioned San Diego State. Any questions may be directed towards our fearless leader, Chuck Neinas who is joining us on remote from Kemper Arena where he eagerly awaits the tipoff of the Big XII tournament. |

Kansas is making a push to overtake the area completely by lowering tuition rates in three prominent counties on the Missouri side of the border. They aren't hiding from the fact that already they've been taking advantage of MU's decision to leave the area. There's a reason why you see more KU gear at Chiefs and Royals games than any other school. Where the game is played is immaterial. The Giants and Jets both play in New Jersey. They are powerful NFL teams because of their ties to NY however. Sometimes that's how these things work out. |

But if they would have lost them it would make sense that they weren't deserving. Too bad they won them all. |

Maybe there is a school out there that has never had enrollment decline? Seems pretty tough to do when you set attendance records and then those students graduate. |

I wouldn't worry yourself regarding the football team. From what people are saying it is in very good hands. |
Quote:
Take the 2007 Illinois team. First off, it's actually somewhat insulting to Illinois to compare them to Kansas, since Illinois actually beat a couple of really good teams during the course of their season, but they were both BCS teams that lost to Missouri on neutral fields, so there is that. Illinois went to the Rose Bowl and played USC. They got slaughtered. Kansas went to the Orange Bowl and played the Chokies. Sucks for Illinois that they had to play a real team, eh? |

You better hope so with the additions of the historic powerhouses the Big 12 added! |

Why do you keep bringing it up? It's over. No big deal. Time for Championship Weekend. |

There's no hiding that fact. |

This was about WVU's 3-0 BCS record. Which year should we look to when they got in unfairly? Which win? GTFO already, you ****ing trashbag. |

Wow Frazod, you are really under Wickedson's skin today. You would think he would off getting ready to celebrate his team making the final four, instead of obsessing over conference re-alignment. Maybe Wickedson is just a closet WVU fan?

Wickedson is certainly an entertaining little twit, you've got to give him that.
It never ceases to amaze me how that in two or three posts (many of which even he can't possibly believe) he can turn some folks into raging morons. |

Don't blame me. I'm the one who's been saying for years around here the college football isn't a real sport and more of a showcase of NFL talent. Bowls choose teams based on brand, popularity and travel potential. Kansas was chosen in 2008. I wasn't involved. I didn't even bring KU up. |
Quote:
Wickedson: Let's see. We are adding Texas Christian and losing aTm. I know...I'll blast aTm for being too religious. Perfect. We're adding a school from a state 1500 miles away and refusing to play a school from a state 25 minutes from Lawrence. I know...I'll say conference affiliation is about geography. What's next? Is he going to call out Mizzou for having fat coaches? |
Quote:
The move doesn't affect basketball much because the conference is the same size and they normally won those anyway. Appearing in the postseason is not contingent on your conference results or winning a championship. It's neutral in the short term if you are a basketball school. |

Maybe we as Mizzou fans have become content to push around the KU's of the world. This move to the SEC is just what we need to continue cementing our reputation as a football up and comer. The SEC will offer harder challenges, therefore Mizzou will reach new levels of performance, since we don't have the KU's of the world to fall back on. Most excellent. |

Mizzou Senior WR and team captian, T.J. Moe knows that the SEC will be a big step up in competition for the Tigers.

I heard that Mizzou nearly missed out on the consensus #1 football recruit in the country and USA Today's high school player of the year over this SEC move.
They said he considered Kansas but in the end he was afraid the high level of competition in the Big 12 might hurt his chances of going to the NFL, so he picked a lower profile conference. |

I've never been so unhappy while winning a game in my life. Just of what woulda happened had Gill held on! Ugh... |

If only Mizzou hadn't outrushed Kansas 171-65... If only Mizzou hadn't outpassed Kansas 180-72... If only Mizzou hadn't gained 18 first downs to KU's 10... Imagine what might have been. |

Mizzou was 8-5. If we had lost the bowl game, you would have said we were 7-6. Instead, you decided to cherry pick. That's fine. Just pointing out that Mizzou won 8 games. That's become our floor in recent years. |

What does moral victory have to do with anything I said? |

People will eventually realize the days of winning at ND like they used to will never happen again. The academic requirements and nature of the university just don't mesh with the contemporary student athlete. |
Quote:
I had looked up their regular season schedule and actually paid them a compliment for finishing strong. Nice bowl win, congratulations! :thumb: So you agree they are at their floor, and are not ascending? Heading to the powerhouse conference while they are on the floor? |

Please don't pretend there weren't several ND HCs in a row that had the same issues, due to the scholastic and other requirements on the athletes. Secondly, Weis may just have a little bit of chip on his shoulder. I kind of sense that from what I have been reading, but could be wrong. |

Seriously, no one gives a shit about KU football, so it would be great if that isn't a subject of conversation in this thread.

7 wins next year would be a disappointment for Mizzou or a cause for celebration for KU. I'd rather have an 8 win season be my floor than my ceiling. |

They had a lot of really good teams, but were average more than any other. If you look at their bowl record, they have been to two in the 60s, 2 in the 70s, 1 in the 80s, 2 in the 90s and 4 in the 2000s. Of course the early bowl appearances were before they had a bowl for every other team in the NCAA. |
