It's his job to be a part of the good ol' boy network.  Him acting butthurt about there being one isn't helping him gain entrance.  Why the eff do we hire SEC people for every admin position if they aren't already members is what we should be asking ourselves.  

Quote from: email response from John Currie
Thanks for the suggestion! Lots of great ideas from a lot of different K-State folks coming in right now. Great time to be a cat fan!

He was only hired to appease OU because they hated Beebe. I'm not surprised old old old balls didn't do a damn thing.

He's residing comfortably in Connecticut on the TPC course raising money for Connecticut Public Radio and doing consulting work for UMASS athletics.  He has zero interest in being Big XII commissioner...despite my best efforts. He would be good though.  He's as connected as it gets.

He spent the weekend brokering a deal that would have sent OU to the Sugar and OkSt to Fiesta had OU won. Apparently KSU was left out of discussions at the conference level entirely.

Can figure out some of your threads, but this one has me confused.  Okie lite got a BCS game.  Are some of you really thinking  the little 8 was going to get 2 teams in. Now if you were the long horns at 9-3 I could see. But damn, your the jayhawks.

Not so fast......the payout is only 3 mil total less. Not really a big deal.

Lew Perkins went up against Mike Alden and Missouri . . . my gawd, how many times over the years have Missouri and Mike Alden been completely clowned?  Too many times to count.

Currie went up against an ESPN Sweetheart and regular BCS Bowl team.

Not even in the same universe.
