Kansas State Football / Re: does playing west virginia hurt the image of our program?

« on: October 18, 2012, 10:04:00 AM »

Let me just say that I am completely disgusted with what I see here on this message board. Whether it's joking or not, it's in poor taste and downright disrespectful. However, it is amusing at the same time because I know none of you would have the audacity to approach me personally and say it to my face this weekend in Morgantown, WV. Our school has been enthused to be a part of the Big 12 conference and treated Baylor with the utmost respect last month. Now, I am going to think twice about being such a warm welcome wagon to a bunch of ignorant individuals who lack mannerisms and intelligence as far as I can see. Learn to spell, use proper grammar and have valid points to make before you decide to open your mouth.

Also, I encourage you to google my name. Nicole Lemal. As you can see, I have all my teeth, am very educated and successful and am proud to be a West Virginian and WVU graduate. I hope none of you run into me this weekend, if you make the trip to our wonderful state. I can say I am no longer looking forward to it from this 'rude awakening.'

Whose sister mama are you?

I think it is absolutely an embarrassment.  I saw a documentary on Netflix about all of the white people in West Virginia.  First off I think it was entirely ridiculous that they excluded blacks from this documentary, but these people were just ridiculous!  All they did was drugs and crime and even while pregnant!

West Virginia makes me want to throw up.

It sucks that community like ours (urban, civilized, cultured, diverse, etc) has to share a screen with the backwards mongoloid hill-people.  I know our reputation is great nationally and the other "KSU's" of the world (USC, Michigan, Texas, etc.) know that we hate being associated with WVU types, but will this hurt our image?

Undoubtedly.

Oh well, just get in, win, and get the hell out of there back to civilization.

You are ridiculous. I'm sorry but your first bowl game was played in 1982. You have been to one BCS bowl game EVER!

West Virginia has been in 6 BCS bowl games including last year in a game they won. You haven't ever won a BCA bowl game at K State.

I am not a WVU fan. I am an OU alum and cannot believe the things that are being said in this forum. The fact that anyone in the Big 12 says the things that are so ridiculous makes the rest of us look bad

How many Black Coaches of America bowl games have u guys won? Must be a lot if you're talking smack on us for not winning any BCA bowl games.

1 BCS bowl yes, 2 Fiesta bowls though. We have the same amount of Natl Titles though. Trust me, if u guys were playing in the Big 12 the last 20 years instead of the sorry Big East, I highly doubt you would've gone to 6 BCS games. I also highly doubt you guys could've accomplished 11 wins 6 out of 7 years like we did.

Listen folks it's simple, what we offer is being K-State.  I know a lot of you don't think so, but that is something special.

For everyone worried about K-State not ending up in a BCS level conference think about this for a second:
-There are currently four BCS conferences with 12 teams (Pac-12, SEC, Big Ten, and ACC) and then there's the Big 12-2 and the Big East (8 teams currently with TCU going in 2013). That gives a total of 67 teams by my math.
-If major realignment happens like everyone anticipates, there would be four superconferences of 16-18 teams (most likely 16). That would mean at worst, only 3 teams are left out.
-3 teams being left out is kind of like musical chairs, you have to make sure you have a place to sit when the music stops. I personally think that K-State offers a lot more than several teams when it comes down to being one of the last few in (wouldn't be interesting to see Joe Lunardi do a bracket on realignment?)
Here's how I see everything happening:
SEC goes to 16
Pac-12 becomes Pac-16
Big Ten becomes the Big 16
& the ACC and Big East become one Frankenstein conference with the 8 Big East teams that don't play football (ND, Hall, St. Johns, Nova, Providence, etc.) being in their own conference.
So the big question is: Where does K-State go and would they get left out? answer: Frankenstein conf. or Pac-16 and no they wouldn't get left out for several reasons.
Things K-State has going for them: academics - We've had our fair share of Rhodes scholars, we have NBAF and we have a little brother named ku. I don't see how we get left out considering these factors.
So the next question is: Who gets left out?
Well considering conferences want to add by even numbers (i.e. SEC wants A&M only if they get another at same time) or if they have an odd number (Big Ten last yr) then they only add one or three then you want to make sure you have a dance partner (ex. KSU and ku), you also want to make sure you have a good athletic program (KSU and ku in bball, KSU in fball - kinda) and academics (obviously) and you have a TV market (Kansas City). All of these factors will be huge when it comes to realignment. Teams I think will probably be left out will be: ---Iowa St., wtf do they add to any conference? no dance partner, terrible at sports, no tv market, See ya ISU. ---Baylor, yeah small school, no dance partner, they do have the Texas market but they have barely any students add in their religious views and no athletic tradition=no BCS conf. ---last school is tough it may be TCU (I bet they stay in a conference tho) or Cincy or a school similar to that.
conclusion:
With all of these factors in place I bet K-State will be in a BCS conference if we see megaconferences in the future. Conferences just won't pass up something as good as us.

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.”

Arizona and Arizona State. Big 12 has to quit being the victim and take it to another conference.

Mark my words, if the Big 12 adds another school(s), it will be from another conference.  Or possibly an independent/BYU.  We will not be the victim.  Mark my words friendo.

So far the Big 12 has been the victim. 3 teams gone in a little over a year. Yeah I'd say we are the victim. Who wants to join the Big 12 that is already in a BCS conference? I mean honestly no one wants to join a sinking ship where the captain is Texas?

Ubben keeps saying Houston would be the best option to replace tamu. Not sure what I think about that.

I think BYU is the obvious choice.

I believe the line of thinking is the Big 12 wouldn't want to abandon the Houston market. 

Texas already has the Houston market. UH would have to upgrade in a goddamn hurry if they wanted to be relevant in the Big 12-2. TCU would be a better option.

saw on twitter that Houston's # of Alums in 4 times as many as TCU's....or whatever...making Houston more appealing.


eff this crap.

plus we already own the Dallas market.  adding a dallas team would be meaningless.  we lose aTm and don't replace we lose Houston

I agree. bring in a team from the north like BYU to add depth. To me they are much more respected and would be make our conference better. Adding UH doesn't really do anything other than add a huge university. They really aren't good at any sports. Football they are meh. If everyone else (i.e. Notre Dame, BYU, Arkansas, Arizona, Arizona State, Louisville, Cincy and TCU ) says no then yes we should invite them. but if someone else says yes then we shouldn't even think about it. Maybe if we want to go back to 12 and we could get a couple big name programs then yes.

kbohls kbohls
Texas AD DeLoss Dodds tells me "it looks to me like they're leaving," says he thinks B12 would be OK with 9 teams, prefers 10. #ut

From the Statesman website
 “They’ve got to do what’s best for them,” Dodds said of the Aggies. “We’re going to look at every option we’ve got, and we’re going to end up in a good place. That’s what we do. We’re good at that.”

just saw that too

apparently Deloss wants to stay at 10, probably because they want a bigger piece of the pie.

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.

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.

« on: February 06, 2011, 04:09:51 PM »

definitely have to win at either CU or Nebraska. I'm counting on winning at home against ISU, MU, and OU. So if we beat either CU or Neb we are sitting pretty going into the tournament. probably only have to win the first game and we are in the tournament. I think 9 conf. wins total (including the big12 tournament) then we are in the tournament.

Sitting at 3-5 right now, i see no reason why we can't make the tournament. nebraska is garbage, they will give us a game in lincoln but i fully expect to win now that ive seen us dominate them. i also fully expect to sweep ISU, win at home against OU and Missouri. so that right there is 8 wins, if we steal one against ku  or tx or at colorado we r sitting pretty good. even at 8-8 we are still in good shape for the tournament. if we win a total of 9 confernce games, including the big12 tournament no way we dont get in.
