Go Kansas (and who do we root for this week?)

[nicname]

I think it is fair to concede the league to Texas and Kansas for the remainder of the year.  Accordingly we should probably root for events which would leave the Pre-Season B12 Champs in the best position possible at season's end.  Specifically, we should be looking to weasel our way into a top 4 seed in the B12 tournament. 

The week of Sat 2/12/11 EMAW rooting interest in bold.

Standings for reference.
1.  UT  8-0

Missouri at Kansas   

We obviously want the Jayhawks to beat the Tigers tonight as they are one of the stronger teams that we will be battling with for one of the coveted first round byes in the P66 tourney.  Lucky for us MU will probabyl get run out of the gym tonight.

Nebraska at Baylor

Though Baylor is leading us in the conference standings we have beaten them and hold the tie-breaker over them.  Best case scenario is for Baylor to do well and finish tied with us at season's end, giving the Cats a quality win and still allowing us to get a bye.  Plus NU sucks and we want them thoroughly demoralized when we make our trip to Lincoln.

Texas A&M at Colorado

We need ATM to lose as much as possible as they hold the tiebreaker over the Cats.  Plus, CU has already lost to Nebraska.  That means that if KSU can beat NU in Lincoln we will have a tie-breaker over the Buffs if we can manage to beat CU at their place Saturday. 

Texas at Oklahoma

This should be a game to expose the Sooners, and that is good for the Cats.  We don't need OU getting anymore wins than they already have (how the hell did they win these games BTW?) and we could also use Texas being ranked really high when we roll into Austin and sneak away with another victory over the Horns.    

Discuss.  Also Saturday games will follow when I feel like it.

I stopped reading after "we obviously want Kansas to win..."

I have a novel idea, let's win our games and we'll be just fine.

you are missing the greatness in the previous post, you see ku is so meaningless to the poster that he has them do dirty work for the cats benefit, in other subtle words, ku is our bitch, don't be too hasty judging other posts when there might be glorious little slights contained within.

I hate that we have to come up with creative ways to discuss uk because we cannot rough ridin' beat them.

UK winning helps us you clowns. Nothing bad about that.

Would I like to see them lose though? Of course.

Hey KU/MU game, thanks for the free EMAW pub (mushberger just gushed about Jordy's Super Bowl performance).   

[sonofdaxjones]

ku must win to keep mu unconfident on the road.

[wes mantooth]

what a beautiful couple.

sys gave the good bubble team rooting rule the other day...

this is back to traditional bubblemode.  always root for any team with no chance to make the tourney or no chance to miss.  in matchups between two bubbles, root for high probability bubbles, against low probability bubbles.

Yep it sucks to be back on the bubble, but it makes for good convo.

Expose OU?  Really?  Wasn't the fact that they blew a 21-6 lead in Stillwater enough of a sign the little 4 game run miracle is pretty much done and will just be what i comfort myself with as we get couch mumped all Feb.
Do you guys really think OU might have a chance to finish ahead of you guys?  Hahahahahahahah.  Thats funny.

Cheer for the Sooners to keep it within 10 vs the evil Longhorn tv network plz.
