Kansas State Basketball is hard / Re: KU and eligibility...again

« on: October 15, 2011, 12:31:06 AM »

Prolly be a better draw than your football program.

KU's football program owns the all-time series vs. K-State by a wide margin and has won three bowls (including an Orange Bowl) since K-State's last bowl win in 2002.  Thanks for playing.

 

All-time series. Just like clockwork.

4 out of 7.  Orange Bowl.  National Championship.  Thanks for playing.

I must have missed that year when KU won a national championship in football.

Explain why not?
 

Because the State of Missouri is not within the geographic footprint of the B12 conference.  It really doesn't get any simpler than that. 

Name a single Conference Championship that is played in a State outside of the Conference, and I'll promptly shut the hell up.  Otherwise, stop posting in this thread.   

They are going to have the tournament where they think it will make the most money.  It doesn't get any simpler than that.  Why is this so hard to understand.  If Mizzou left there would be no other conference with the geographical issue that we present here so, there is no precedent.  Michigan State and UNC are playing a game on an aircraft carrier in San Diego, does that make geographical sense?  Of course not but it makes fiscal sense.  These schools and the conference will do what they think makes the most money.

I'm still waiting for someone to explain how the Big 12 would be served by removing the tournament from its most successful site.

How do you know it makes more fiscal sense in KCMO than it does in Dallas or OKC? AAA capacity is 19,200, OKC's Chesapeake Energy Arena (why did they change the name of the Ford Center?) is 18,203, Sprint Center is 18,555. I think both AAA and Chesapeake have more luxury seating than Sprint Center, too. The money would be just as good in Dallas or OKC.

I know because it has been, that's how I know.  Why do you think KC has hosted so many times?  BTW it isn't the Ford Center anymore because their naming rights deal expired and Ford didn't want to renew the deal.  That's basic sports business, if you don't get that, the rest of this may be over your head.  No offense

So you know because you know. Good to know.

I'm figuring A&M leaves within 10 days even if there is no 14th SEC team. Big 12 school official says his league to go hard after ND, BYU.

 

If Big 12 officials think that talking to Notre Dame is anything other than exercising due diligence, then this conference really is doomed (and respected).

Why did they let Free State's JV team take pictures at KU's stadium, while wearing KU's uniforms?

I particularly liked the part where they advocated making a conference move quickly and secretly, before the Board of Regents and Kansas Legislature could get involved. Because, y'know, they're such a superior institution that they can tell the state entities that govern them to go eff themselves.

Dax do you remember that whole Altman through Woolridge era? Yea thats how you make Missoura look good in the last 25 years.

Yeah, we remember that era. K-State took almost two decades off and their overall record against Missouri is 117-116.

“I’ve got people flipping out,” Lewellen said Sunday. “A huge panic.”

People filed out, some without paying their tabs. A few miles south and west, the same kind of bedlam was transpiring at Coach’s Bar & Grill on 148th Street and Metcalf Avenue.

stay classy squawks

That was good, but this was still my favorite quote from the article.

So when the Jayhawks and Tigers went to commercial, most of the nation’s CBS affiliates were supposed to switch to the Michigan State-Michigan game, which had perhaps more nationwide appeal. The problem was that the KU-MU viewing area switched over, as well.
