if things do get crazy, is there any way that zenger at ku will end up backfiring on us and ku will drag us down and we will end up in a basketball first conference like the big east. i was all for zenger getting a chance at a school close to home. my family knows his family and i thought it was a pretty neat/feel good story, but now i'm worried that it could keep us from ending up in a fball conference like the sec. he has some close friends on kansas bor and if push comes to shove, i just don't know.
both currie and university pres kirk schulz have strong sec ties and we all heard the rumors that were floating around this time last year about us and mizzou to the sec (due to our fball programs) with the four south teams to the pac10. anyway, now that talks about a&m have started up again, i have to say that i'm a little concerned. much moreso than last year. i probably shouldn't be but still. anyone want to talk me down from the ledge?
-
I talked to some big money types from SEC country and K-State has started working the back channels to try to get us detached from KU so we can hit the SEC when this goes down. Said that the SEC has made it pretty clear that our invite is dependant on not having to drag KU along with us. They hate Kentucky and want nothing to do with another Kentucky diluting their football pool let alone their other sports (baseball, etc.)
-
Governor Brownback and Senator Roberts (both EMAW) were both lobbying hard last summer for KU and KSU to stay together, but that was last summer and things were different.
Both were taking their marching orders from Snyder, and there are grumblings that Snyder no longer sees any value in being attached to KU...what with the Pac-10 no longer interested in KU and the SEC's obvious distaste for KU.
-
my SEC contacts gave me a bit of info when we started negotiations with the SEC. I guess there was a bit of a freak out at the regents meeting. I say we just go above the regents and get this thing done. we have to start looking out for #1 in this deal. that's just my opinion. obviously it's going to be tough not being in the same conference with KU given the history but they would be happier in a basketball conference like the A10 anyway.

i have no doubt that both are working back channels. i hope shultz talked to alot of people at the pres meetings over the last few days and made it obvious for all who wanted to listen that we are not tied to ku and that we are in the middle of a 70 million dollar expansion on our fball stadium. hell, show them the construction bids, blueprints, etc.
my concern now and it's a big one, is that if a&m does jump up and take an sec invite, are they taking our sec invite? the sec is only going to invite two. i think that last year at this time it was us and mizzou. but if a&m goes and goes first, then what? do we get the invite over mu? i don't know. geographically they make much more sense and if the sec has any reason to think that we are tied to ku, then i think we're screwed.
-
zenger is wildcat first. he's only in lawrentucky because they PAY him to be there. i have full confidence that zenger will do the right thing when the SEC comes calling and let us go, not weigh us down with KU.
i also think that if push came to shove, that Brownback and Pat Roberts would both pressure the BOR to release us from whatever mythical tie-in we have with the terrorists* in lawrentucky.
*yes, I called the jayhawkers terrorists. they're nothing more than yesterday's equivilent of tim mcveigh, terry nichols, david koresh, and ted kaczynski (unibomber). do some research on the hayseeds in lawrentucky, you'll understand then.
it's embarrassing to be in the same conference with them. what a complete joke.
here we are in MHK with the NABF with electron microscopes, and they're building pipe bombs and terrorizing eastern kansas and missouri.
-
obviously it's going to be tough not being in the same conference with KU given the history but they would be happier in a basketball conference like the A10 anyway.
it really would be sad to not be in the same conference. half of my wife's family went to ku and they are huge jayhawk fans. really good people and i enjoy getting to joke around with them at family get togethers. heck, i'm sure we all have some friends that are jayhawks and have smilar stories. also, the short drive to lawrence to watch sporting events has always been nice. can get there, watch a game and get home all in a day with time to spare. at the end of the day though, we have to look out for kansas state university and do what is best for the school in the long run. imo.
-
All signs point to KSU to the SEC...and since we are also a big basketball school, we can create a heavyweight rivalry for conference champion every year with Kentucky. I think being a two sport powerhouse gives us the edge over some of these other schools. Rumors have it that ADJC shunned Populous to give the work to the company that did all the SEC schools. Really trying to give business to where we will be for the future. Great move on his part IMO.
SEC sees things like E16, Full Nike contract, 14-1 against little bro, NBAF, etc. Probably wondering why they didn't consider us last summer.
-
what makes me kind of nervous is that we have the second most recognizable mascot in all of sports. everyone knows that when they see the powercat, that k-state is coming lynch mob style. hopefully they don't think the stupid terroristhawk is coming right behind us, even though no one really recognizes the terroristhawk.
-
When Zenger, or "Zeng's" as my closest friends and family call him, got hired I had these same thoughts. Sure Thanksgivings are wonderful, and the hunting trips, and the birthdays, and the times that we all just stand around the big green egg and smoke venison are great, etc. But, business is business and family is family. We need to be looking out for numero uno, and my concern is that watching K-State “walk away” may be too much should President Schultz ever decide on the need to "SEC-ede" from our brothers to the East. Blood is thicker than water, and cat blood is particularly thick. And at this point in time I don’t know of any groundbreaking veterinarian procedures that can magically take all of that cat blood out of Sheahon Zenger’s body. Sorry, but that concerns me.
Lew may be gone, but this just may be a case of be careful what you wished for.
-
Zenger will do what's right for EMAW.
-
I work with someone who has significant ties in Auburn country, hell, they sat/sit up in Tubberville/Chizik's suite at football games. They confirmed there's strong feelings in Auburn that K-State must be invited to the SEC and that K-State must do everything they can to remove the (exact quote) "ku shackles". They still laugh about the last time they played ku in football and ku asked for a running clock in the 2nd half.
No doubt Cat Zenger will push hard to do what's right.

if you guys think that it's just dumb luck that we happen to be playing Alabama this year at Sprint Center, you're out of your mind. the game is meant to test the logistics of a road basketball game in the winter between KC and SEC country.
they have these details all worked out for football since traveling is much easier in the fall. basketball, winter, not so much.

one thing that i haven't even thought about until now is frank's recruiting of florida. it's already really good but the lack of close games no doubt has caused us to miss out on a couple of kids that we were leading for early. ex- kenny boynton. i doubt we miss out on those kids if we are playing close to their home several times a year. could be one of the more unexpected pleasant surprises to come out of this whole thing.
-
Rick Daris, my sources are saying the same things as yours.
-
hmm maybe i mean freemeons ahead of his time

This thread is what bbs'ing is all about.
-
Zenger will do what's right for EMAW.
emawbball yes. he would literally cross the street to crap on emawfball, and in fact has done just that (metaphorically). i have every confidence that he will do whatever he needs to ensure that team, state lives on forever (for bball). the great news is that he'll be able to do so with a clear conscience, saving his employers ass while creating the tobacco road of the great plains (wheat road).
emaw.

I'm most excited about playing a game in Mississippi every year, between both Ole' Miss and State.
Mississippi produces the most NFL talent, per capita, and we've always done very well recruiting jucos players from that state.
Now, with our lower entrance requirements (THANKS SHULZY!) and a foothold in that state, we'll be able to pull quite a few more players.
-
Who is going to start the online petition to the Regents and the Legislature to let them know how important it is that they do the right thing, and release K-State from the constraining bonds of ku?
-
i'm reading this thread, and i'm wondering if i'm taking crazy pills. because my sources have been telling me almost the exact opposite of what most everyone here seems to be hearing.
i'm going to be hitting the lakes and prolly golfing, drinking or horseback riding with a couple of bsacs later tonight, so, i'll see if i can get to the bottom of this.
-
Sources in Lawrence are hearing the same thing RD and the more enlightened are very nervous. Of course, there are some really dormant dumbasses who are only alive from November to March or April, so see nothing coming.
-
Just got off the phone with a SEC commish and they told me their licking at the chops to add the Dodge City/Garden City TV Market to the equation. Thank you lord! :kstategrad:

-
the big ten adding an extra team or two would be the best thing possible for kstate imo. it would force (probably) the sec to add four more instead of just two and we'd be gold to get one of those. only two invites from the sec and i'm worried. four and i'm not. this is assuming that we aren't tied to ku. the sec is a fball conf and has no interest in ku.

I just skyped with a couple Big East insiders (G'Town, quette) and they are besides themselves with joy that KSU may be tethered to ku. They couldn't even tell me if there was an E:16 team in their conference, let alone one that has such a fast rising football and basketball and overall AD like KSU. Also, were all giddy about road trips to Manhattan. Pretty excited that chasing a one program school may net them an across the board powerhouse. It was fun to see their excitement but made me realize that the B East may be working against us to the SEC for their own selfish reasons.

luckily for us, AA is based out of texas and not new york or new jersey or i have no doubt those townie schools would be trying to use their network contacts to force our hand. bastards.
-
these other schools may be all open arms to emaw right now but just wait until we start 13-1ing them, lulz. they may ban us from all conferences and then we may truly be in superconference with UT and ND. of course with the powercat branding being second in mascot recognition in the nation only to (https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg683.imageshack.us%2Fimg683%2F1602%2Firishman.jpg&hash=ce2c1a4af6974c4aa06948cc11f674b189509eb8) at notre dame, we may inimidate them too much to get an invite into superconference. who knows, not me.

I think we may need a recount on most recognizable mascot
-

eff. we're doomed to be stuck with little brother
:goodbyecruelworld:
-
I think of Manhattan more like an SEC town, than a big east town anyway, so these reports are very beneficial for K-State and the SEC. I think we'd definately fit right in with the SEC, now Big East, not so sure.

Is this an honest opinion or a joke. I mean what could the SEC possibly want with K-State that they can't get from Florida State, Clemson, OU, OSU, TTech, Georgia Tech, Miami, Virginia Tech, etc.? I think we will probably end up in a frankenstein conference with other leftovers nobody wanted and probably Texas (I hate those mothaf***ers). just my opinion.

The brain trust over at goEMAW.com believes the SEC is about to break down the door to add KSU, just so long as they don't have to drag little bro (KU) with them. I suggest you all go check "elite Kansas State message boarding". Also our AD is known as Cat Zenger over there.
Regardless of how realistic this might be, I really think our best options are:
1a.) Big 10
1b.) Big 12-3
2.) Pac 12
3.) Big East
Now I think the most realistic scenario is the Big 12-3 or Big East, both of which are solid options when you consider the alternatives could be Mountain West or CUSA.

I just got off the phone with a very high up at KSU...VERY high up. Anyway, direct quote: We have a KU problem. Looks like the regents aren't backing down a bit and are shackling those clowns to us. The good news is we may have found a way to slip that shackle but I can't talk about that yet. stay tuned.
-
I can pass on a funny story though. One of the SEC presidents was talking to my source and is apparently a big Steinbeck fan. Told him that we had a Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) brother that loved the crap out of rabbits and he was on his way to killing any chance we had at joining their conference. Suggested we take him down to the river and take care of him. Pretty funny guy.

I was on the line with my SEC source (extremely high up) for a lil chit chat (him begging) that we might consider the SEC, but I hung up on him because I had the Big 10 on line 2. Things are looking up cat fans.

This isn't specific enough. Do I need to wear a purple blazer? What about pastels? Are those preferred?
I don't want to look like a rube when we start going down to cosmopolitan areas like Tuscaloosa and Opalaka.

The only SEC school I've been to is S. Carolina. Seemed kind of racist. Are they all like that? Are these roadies with MIR going to be rough ridin' awesome because of that?
-
ok. so some of what i was told has not been confirmed from my kstate source. kind of the opposite actually. i left a message with one other person and am still waiting to hear back though. i will say that there is without doubt ksu to sec smoke but that nothing is set in stone and that it depends on what at least one other school does. that much i'm sure of. i'll hold off on the actual story until i hear back from this last person.

Arkansas was racist in a really cute sort of way, can't really describe it. It wasn't like an aggressive hateful racism, just sort of matter of fact. It's like their racism is old news and they're bored with it, but it isn't really going to change.

Another reason I'm hearing the SEC is wanting to add KSU is to diversify the conference and try to rid there racist facade. This is why there are looking long and hard at K-State we stood strong and tall during Bleeding Kansas, and as most of you know and I don't have to say KU is known as Lawrencetucky because of the onslaught of racism that occurs there.

Someone should really invite some of our new friends at Alabama, Florida, etc. over here so we don't look stupid. I mean, I almost just made a huge mistake.

Does anyone else kind of feel sorry for them? I mean, they will never know what a 13-1 feels like. EVER. I don't have time to research and find out what's the best they've ever done against their big brother but I bet it's like 3-10 maybe? 4-9 best case? Thank god for their wrestling program huh? :lol: (ftp://:lol:) And they'll just tag along with whomever and like it. It's sad really.

Don't make it sound like everyone in Lawrence is a racist hillbilly. I have a couple of friends that I went to high school with that went to KU and they aren't racist at all. I think it's the vocal majority that makes the non-racist minority look bad.

OK, looks like we have a problem on our hands here.
Just got off of the phone with some of the stakeholders involved with the orangepower.com website, and they are hearing that Oklahoma State is "listening" to the Moutain West, AND rumor is that T. Boone has been calling Jack Vanier trying to lock KSU into this thing as well.
As most of you know, Jack and T. Boone have been working on a wind-farm deal, just east of Colby, so they have become "friendly."
I don't know about you guys, but I do NOT want to be a part of the Mountain West. Frankly, this is very alarming and makes me wonder if the leadership at OSU has simply "sold" the university to Pickens.....sad, really.
Hope for the best, boys.

Why the hell would Jack even work with that new money crazy person? Old money needs to stick with old money. good grief.

A little bird just told me that Cat Zenger may be helping us out more than we know. I can't say more than that right now. This is very covert.

Don't shoot the messenger...
When Jack's Dad sold the largest chunk of his business to ConAgra, no one thought we'd see the day when his money was commingled with the likes of Pickens, but times have changed. Strange bedfellows are being made in this economy.
I wish I could tell you that the Vaniers were above working with Pickens, but I thought they were above Bob Krause, and look where that put us.

Bob Krause has a terrier mix that shits bigger than T. Boone Pickens.

Wow, great thread. They attacked EMAW for being sexist, apparently disregarding the fact that they are the cowBOYS. Then laughed because we have only won the Big 12 once in football, disregarding that they've never even made it to the Big 12 Championship. Those fans are delusional. Hope they can stay attached to OU or they're screwed.

Could someone confrim how close Eric Stonestreet REALLY is with Ben Sherwood? PM if needed, TIA. Trying not to get my hopes up, here, but exciting none the less.

OK, first, thanks for the PM's guys. We appreciate it.
BUT, some of this stuff is coming so fast that it can be a bit overwhelming, and frankly hard to believe. So, we are NOT going to post everything you send us.
Having said that, our attention has been called to something that hits pretty darn close to home. As some of you in the educational community know, there is a new scholarship program called the "Pat Roberts Intelligence Scholars Program." It's program recently initiated to recruit and train members of the intelligence community by extending lucrative and prestigious scholarships to undergrads and grad students.
Additionally, as most of you know, aTm would like to think it's our Nation's premier source for non-academy collegiate officer and enlistee candidates for the Armed Forces and National Security related positions.
No one seems willing to state this overtly, but there is reason to believe that a harmony between KSU and aTm is in the best interest of scholarship seeking institutions.
Take that for what it's worth, folks.

I'll be making my first SEC gameday trip this fall to see Auburn @ LSU. Should be a good taste of what is to come in the near future. Let me know if they want to open up a suite for a few cat fans in Baton Rouge for the game so they can get to know their new SEC bretheren.

i'm a little slow getting going today, but i got some good info last night out on the ponies. so anyways, i guess i was a little off yesterday, the sec rumors people have been hearing so much about are legit. the sec is a very important option for kstate.
but, don't buy your oxfords just yet. it's not the only option, and as i tried to explain yesterday, it's definitely not everyone's preferred option. zenger has been working the phones night and day, and has the right people in manhattan and in the acc listening to everything he's saying. the acc is now looking at bringing in kstate and ku as well as a third school to bookend the best bball conference in america.
kstate is more interested than some of you might be willing to believe, but as you might imagine, the third school is the sticking point. there are several options, but so far, not a one that everyone can agree on.
those of you that know who i was with last night know how solid this info is, so i won't waste anyone's time talking about where i heard this.

OK, just got in touch with some of my sources in some select SEC IT depts. Apparently there have been some pretty interesting email conversations going back a forth between University Presidents.
Now, he wouldn't divulge everything, but he did say that the latest US News College Rankings HAVE come up. Take it for what its worth. But i believe Shulzy is working the Academic angle on this deal as well. More to come when i know more.

thanks pete. and keep it mind, the sec option is alive and well, i'm just pointing out that there are a lot of voices at kstate that want to be heard, and not everybody wants the same things.

Had a big video conf meeting this morning with a guy (We'll call him Van) and once our business was done he asked me to stay on and we talked some college sports. He flat out said that KSU will not get a formal SEC invite if thethered to ku. KU's lack of any viable Arch or Eng program (or any hard science program worth crap) is simply not acceptable to Van. He admitted that his school does not pay the freight sportswise in the SEC but it is an academice institution with some pretty important folks calling shots.
I like and respect this guy so this was a pretty bad piece of info for me to hear.

Actually, I live/work in South Carolina at a large government org with mostly Carolina and Clemson grads. The buzz around here from the SC fans about the Cats and the SEC is huge. Mostly, the Clemson guys are bad-mouthing us all cause they know the ACC is on the outside looking in, again.

Seems like a good time to remind everyone who reads this thread that when you agreed to the www.goEMAW.com Terms and Conditions to register, you agreed to not talk to traditional and/or non-traditional media outlets about the contents of this board.
I know at least one mod who has been contacted by a reporter from Baton Rouge so we can expect this to increase as this story heats up. If this happens, politely decline to comment. We have some pretty effective ways of identifying who is talking so don't think we won't know who is violating our T&C. A violation would most definitely result in a suspension if not an outright ban. Probably without a refund of any kind.
Thanks for keeping this in mind.

Folks, this is probably the right time to share my inside info on K-State to the SEC. With my eye health improving (I had surgery in May to enlarge my eye sockets and relieve pressure), my work day will lengthen to what it was before, as will my ability to stare at a computer screen, which is rather important to breaking insidery info. I also hope the coming goEMAW app for smart phones will help, because holding my phone a few inches from my face with one eye shut (yep, true story) is easy on my eyes.
I really have tried not to talk about it much, but the last three years have really sucked. I sat on a lot of info. I spend more time screen-testing and creeping coeds in Aggieville than I care to admit. My eyes will never be the same, but at least they don't feel exhausted 90 percent of the time. My docs at KU Eye and KU Med have been phenomenal. Work/life productivity is already up.

From our good friend, Chip:
Sources close to A&M indicate the nine-member regents board will vote to leave for the SEC. The SEC presidents are expected to talk on Saturday in a special gathering to discuss A&M becoming the 13th member of that conference, according to sources.
....and the 14th is....... :peek:

My Dad is a close friend of Mike Slive (SEC Commiss), and he told me that A&M is the one making this all happen quicker than anticipated.
A&M and FSU are the first to get invites. A&M has already basically said yes, barring any wrangling/extortion attempts by the Texas politicos.
IF FSU says yes, the SEC will stay at 14 for the time being, with an eye on going to 16 in the not too distant future.
HOWEVER, if FSU turns their invited down, OU is next on SEC wishlist, and the SEC brass is willing to bring OSU & TBoone's $$$ along to get OU.
If they both accept, that leaves the SEC at 15...and that's where KSU is in the mix, along with Va Tech (who is expected to decline, they haven't been as receptive in behind the scenes communication).
So as I understand it, FSU & Oklahoma will control KSU's fate. Will be interesting to see how it all plays out.

No, you're wrong. The SEC is chomping at the proverbial bit to get KSU. Your father is the worst kind of liar there is, a filthy liar.

We're screwed. Here's K-State's press release regarding the possibliity of A&M leaving.
“K-State is fully committed to the Big 12 Conference and continues to be excited about its future. Should a current member elect to depart the league, we remain confident in the commitment of the remaining schools towards a bright future. We are actively engaged with our conference administration and fellow presidents and athletic directors to determine strategic next steps. As in the past we will provide more updates as they are warranted.”

It's a smoke screen. Aggies played this card perfectly last year and now look where they are! Patience my friend. :kstategrad:

I think this is the perfect time for Dodds to send the chickenhawks packing........I think BIG 8 would be a novel conference title. If ku can't get into the big east there is always they're namesake the jayhawk conference.

Seems like a good time to remind everyone who reads this thread that when you agreed to the www.goEMAW.com Terms and Conditions to register, you agreed to not talk to traditional and/or non-traditional media outlets about the contents of this board.
I know at least one mod who has been contacted by a reporter from Baton Rouge so we can expect this to increase as this story heats up. If this happens, politely decline to comment. We have some pretty effective ways of identifying who is talking so don't think we won't know who is violating our T&C. A violation would most definitely result in a suspension if not an outright ban. Probably without a refund of any kind.
Thanks for keeping this in mind.
Oops.

I appreciate that Pete. I mean the guy said the last guy he talked to dumped poison on some trees in Auburn, so I didn't think much would come of it...

Bad news guys, just talked to my uncle (who happens to know the AD at a certain SEC West institution) and he's saying talks of KSU to SEC may be slowing down. This deal may have been
fitz'd _fan'd up.

From what I'm hearing, we've already rejected an invite to the SEC. :dunno:

True story, I have posted and read this thread several times and had no idea what Zenger was until I read the paper this morning. :comeatme:

After watching this, I'm glad we got these old timers out of our strong grouping of member institutions. Btw is it a requirement that all rivals websites hire a young co-ed to complete bs interviews and be subject to creepy advances by the website owner (Fitz)?

Can not confirm, but am hearing rumblings about an Emergency KBOR meeting. Pretty much the entire agenda will be how to finally rectify the "ku problem" so K-State will be free to move in the athletic direction it needs to move.
Even hearing the Kansas Attorney General may be in attendance. Anyone else hearing this . . .
Could it be the umbelicle cord from Mothership K-State is finally being cut?
Developing . . .
P.S. K-State's statements about "commitment" to the Big 12? Sources say that K-State has a $hitpile of smoke bombs behind the curtain and they're just lighting them up one after the other, don't believe anything in any public statement from K-State about "commitment" to any conference.

about the only thing i can say is that ksu and a&m have more in common than most people would think. nbaf, DoD, ft riley, shared programs and defense dollars.
if the sec adds a&m and my sources say that it's less likely today than thursday, they need to add another team and it won't be from typical sec territory. look for mizzou or kstate with a&m's obvious choice being ksu. i don't know how much pull a&m will have though and whether or not ksu getting in will sway their final decision to accept. i've heard it might. this is from high ranking people in DoD and not ksu or a&m fwiw.

At 5:36 pm ADJC was heading west on Kimball LOLing in his black Jeep/GMC. I was like (to my wife), "hey, that's ADJC...WTF, why is he laughing?"
Then I get home and see they had a conference call at 4pm...hmmm, I wonder if he was laughing about TAMU getting shafted?
-
Does anyone think we should maybe consider legal action against ku, or the state, or the KBOR? When is enough . . . enough? When can we rid ourselves of this . . . well, parasite??

I can't wait for the longhorns to start pulling their strings to get us into the SEC. It all makes sense, Manhattan was always more of an SEC town, we will have a top 5 SEC stadium, they don't have to lose to us every year, and we will stop stealing all of the recruits they wish they could keep. OU might even throw into the pitch for us to go just so Bob doesn't have to recruit against Ol' Snyds. Can't wait for the SEC coaches to see how we do it up here in Manhattan, coming Fall 1013. :kstatriot:

oh man. getting interesting in SEC country....or should i say wildcat country. :peek:

Okay, got off phone with an A-/B+ source who told me Tennessee has taken a firm anti-KSU stance. They know CUrrie is an animal on the fund raising trail and are still sore about the Cotton Bowl butt-kicking.
Source also said they did waiver because they would like to add our tethered school for the guaranteed football and basketball victories the move would provide. The threat of KSU is too much to overcome that.

I can't wait until next year's CFB Championship Game when I can cheer on my fellow SEC bretheren. :emawkid:

So how is this turning out ?? I decided during this round of expansion I was just going to ignore it until crap was pretty much finalized.. The last round took a lot out of me, a million different 'reliable' sources saying a million different things and all being wrong, the truth is like 4 or 5 people ACTUALLY know anything concrete about whats going on and they aren't talking to message boarders..
This time I'm just going to not start paying attention until the thing is done, is it almost done ??
