Turfburner.com tends to disagree with you Dax.  Try and step up with some more responsible sources.  (but KU grad, probably flips silver coin)

Have any of you guys ever been to a KSU-Powercat-themed bar/restaurant that was located in a city other than Manhattan?

Yes of course I have.

[sonofdaxjones]

ku fans:  So confident in ku's place in the national pecking order they have to reaffirm and confirm ku's status with each other again and again and again.

All I know is someone is going to have some egg on the face when this is all said and done.

All I know.

[deputy dawg]

ku fandom is in high efficiency mode:  all the ku alum I know are telling me, smugly, that "we have options".  It will be interesting to see if that's true, and if it's not, what the rationale would be.

Wonder if UCONN is also guaranteed a spot in a BCS conference? 

[ednksu]

All I know is someone is going to have some egg on the face when this is all said and done.

All I know.

I don't for one second believe they don't have some options because of their basketball program.  It would be silly to think otherwise.  What is just Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) is to believe that K-State is wholly without options that aren't tied to KU.  Now they need to realize that they are not as nice a commodity as they think they are.  If they were they would have been asked to another dance instead of waiting to see who fills up their dance card.

Holy crap.   You actually KNOW ku alum?   All I know is t-shirt fans.

[sonofdaxjones]

Yes . . . they are gathered by the 1000's on their message boards having to reaffirm and affirm each other that everything is going to be alright and freaking out about every story that says they are on the outside looking in.

No . . . they are NOT gathered by the 1000's on their message boards reaffirming and affirming each other that everything is going to be alright.

Kentucky fans . . . NO

UCLA fans. . . NO

Indiana fans. . . NO

UConn fans. . . NO

I've been places.  Done things.  Why, just this last weekend I let these girls put an adderall patch on my dick.  Vision quest.

I've been to 2 in Houston and 1 in Amarillo. Granted, the 2 in Houston were right before the Texas Bowl.

According to the NCAA financial report, in Academic Year 1010 ku needed every dime of that $3.5 million in direct instituional support and student fees, otherwise they would have finished over $2 million in the red.

Net Profits by Athletic Department, 2009-2010
Texas: $29,603,034
Kansas: $11,687,378
Kansas State: $11,099,094
Oklahoma: $10,121,904
Oklahoma State: $5,402,887
Nebraska: $5,029,604

Texas A & M: $2,675,650
Missouri: $2,505,575
Colorado: $930,604
Iowa State: $215,540

So there's only a 5% difference between KU and K-State (2 years ago)?

As someone who has taken it for years, LOL at what happened next.

Would love to have Kansas in the big 10, think it's a real possibility..

I don't think you guys are factoring in their recent Orange Bowl success, and the fact they have big 10 alumnus/ legend Turner Gill behind the wheel steering their program towards glory.. Jim Delaney respects their vision, and would like nothing more than for KU to realize that glory as a member of the big 10 conference..

We get a recent BCS bowl winner and a program that's on the rise, plus an established BBall power.. A dream come true, I'm already excited just thinking about watching Classic games with Reesing and Sharp on the BTN !!!

Don't worry though, if Kansas insists we would probably take you guys too..

[Andy]

does any athletic dept get less for their money than kansas?  their overall cost per win has to be one of the highest out there.

Buncha Middle School butt buddies on here I tell ya.

Jayhox chimes in:

Go ACC with Texas, keep Texas football recruiting open, have great rivalries with ACC basketball teams, let Bill Self go nuts recruiting to the ACC, allow for easier travel for all sports, give our viewing fans a break, and leave K-State in the dust.

But only after we are damned sure the Big 10 won't take us.  :-)

And if you want the Big East, be prepared to go through all of this again in the next 2-3 years with K-State tugging at our coattails.
