Yeah, ESPN's role in sports is fascinating but goes far beyond journalism.

Has there been no Dearmond reaction yet? :disappointed:

They were all over it yesterday.  I reminded them that it wasn't really different than throwing dirt over the Big 12 logo.  No response.

Yep.  Considering the MU administration stripped their entire stadium of all Big XII Conference affiliation two weeks ago, the "classless" comments directed toward Okie State from the DeArmond duo are rather comical.

Better to hang a flag upside down than none at all.

FWIW the Big 12 logos were back last week for the OSU game

Interesting.  Given that K-State doesn't have the Big 12 logo on its field, it's kinda ironic that Missouri has more Big 12 logos than we do.

West Virginia wouldn't simply move into Missouri's Big 12 football schedule if the Tigers leave.

Instead, "we're going to have to redo the schedule for a variety of reasons," Neinas said. "We're going to have to do some adjusting."

Great.  So we get to play in Lawrence 3 straight years I take it.

Will take

[chum1]

yeah, wouldn't the alternative be playing a good team on the road instead of at home?

[kst8cat]

I wonder what the "variety of reasons" are, though.  Why couldn't they just have TCU step into A&M's schedule and WVU step into MU's schedule?

why in the eff would we do anything that makes sense?

UT does not want to play TCU on Thanksgiving weekend.  I believe they want a higher profile rebound date after ATM ran out on them

[Panjandrum]

I'm okay with blowing it all up and starting over.

Now that MU is most likely gone, I think it would be kind of nice to make the KU game an annual Thanksgiving game.

god damnit. this will probably happen, but i'd much rather make ku and iowa state play each other in kc or something and then wvu and ksu get to start a rivalry. i mean, you are the company you keep and keeping company w/ ku in football is not a place kstate wants to be in. if they want to start a bball rivalry then fine, but football? no. just no. and currie needs to tell them that.

Very valid counterpoint.

the two teams that i'd be willing to schedule on a yearly arrowhead basis would be nebraska and west virginia. both of those actually make sense. no other games do. it a&m is willing to do an every other year with kc and houston or whatever than fine.

So plug them into A&M's schedule and switch a date on UTs schedule

[deputy dawg]

Great.  So we get to play in Lawrence 3 straight years I take it.

Better than traveling 2 straight to Stillwater or Norman.

Actually, you want all of those games on the road...the games against the teams you dominate as well as the ones against the teams that dominate you.

The games you want at home are the toss-up games against the Baylors, Techs, and Mizzous of the world.

I would play KU in Lawrence every year if we could.  Really enjoy beating them there.  More so than at home.  Something about the defeated silence and sad faces.  Love that crap.

ya definitely helps with the nail in the coffin as well.

If KU does go ahead and fire Gill because of his pitiful performance, this will be the fourth time in four years that a coach was fired for losing in Lawrence (Prince, Mangino, Hawk, Gill).
