Ok, then just entertain us with news that in fact, Iowa plays Iowa state. That stuff is riveting.

Are you really bitching at me for not addressing points that weren't made? He said that he couldn't think of any non-conference rivalry games. He was promptly handed a ton of them.

There is literally no team on the planet that could play Kansas and have it be an interesting game. That said, Mizzou is far and away the closest thing you're going to find.

I suppose then that your obsessed coach is the only one who finds KU compelling. Kinda hilarious.

Holy shit. This TCU game is the worst piece of shit I've ever seen.

Is anyone else watching this abortion?

I couldn't take more than a few minutes of it.

I stand by your examples of not mattering at all on the national landscape or on how those teams view their season.

Iowa State beats Iowa again. Do they like it? Sure.

They would lose 100 years in a row if it meant winning the Big 12.

That's a stupid binary you've created because you made a stupid comment, and it got shoved back in your face. Kansas would happily lose a game to Duke every year if it meant making the Final Four every year, but that doesn't make a Kansas vs Duke game meaningless.

Shit, Alabama lost to aTm and won the NC last year. I guess their game last year was meaningless.

No one in the thread is agreeing with you.

Besides, no one at KU is happy about not playing MU anymore. MU represented a victory 50% of the time.

I've gotten a good chuckle out of the KC Star comments where Mizzou fans call it an automatic win. Hilarious. If there's one thing 120 years of failure has taught those fanse, it's that there's no such thing in Columbia MO as an "automatic win".

Don't be ridiculous.

K, I suppose I can expect you to start the game thread the next time Colorado/Colorado St plays. It's such a meaningful contest and all.

Why would you suppose that?

Are you really suggesting that games are only meaningful if they have national appeal, regional rivalries be damned? If this is the case, Kansas might as well not play. There is not a single team that Kansas could play that would generate national interest.

That said, rivalry games are the heart of college football. I don't expect posters who don't think college football is a real sport to understand, though.
