Big 10 bloggers are really good at making fans of mediocre schools pine to be in that dogshit conference.

Those home and homes against Purdue, illinois Northwestern, etc are going to be so mind numblngly boring you're literally going to want to kill yourself rather than watch your team play in those games.

What's our conference equivalent, Lubbock, Lawrence, and Morgantown?  I would take Northwestern over any of those 3.  Iowa, tho

Lawrence and Austin are easily the best college towns left in the Big 12 (and yes I realize Austin isn't really a college town).  Waco and Lubbock are the worst by far.

If you think Lawrence is a good football road trip destination for other teams, you're an idiot.  Nobody enjoys travelling to watch their team play the most apathetic fanbase in the BCS.  You are right that I missed Waco.  What a pisshole.

 it's amazing to me how much jayhawks  talk up Lawrence but honestly don't believe they are biased.  I have no problem admitting Manhattan is better to me than random non k state  people.  And the butt hurt swells if you try to tell them that.

[scottwildcat]

Lawrence, Kansas is okay. I am not going to call it crap, but in no world is it even close to a "great" college town.

[deputy dawg]

All the people I've ever met that have graduated from ku are indoctrinated with a belief that ku is an Ivy League-lite school, and that Lawrence is an oasis of either (1) East coast culture or (2) West coast culture on the plains of Kansas.  They loudly proclaim the superiority of Lawrence over all other college towns, even though most of them have never set foot in another college town outside of Emporia or Pittsburg.  Its amazing that they don't even see the contradictions in their articles of faith.  I like Lawrence, but having lived in both Lawrence and Manhattan, like Manhattan better.  If I had my choice and could afford it, I'd live in Boulder, but only after they clean up the flood mess.

Did my first trip to Boulder a few months ago.  Holy crap its magnificent.

Are you sure you don't just want the Chicago roadie rather than the school associated with the roadie?

Even if they suck like they usually have, they would be like Baylor but smart and in Chicago.  How is that not a win?

Guys, c'mon!



Also, I personally believe it's possible that in another decade or longer, the Big 10 might be interested in KU.  But, I think it's more likely that the NCAA D1 gets completely revamped or destroyed (ala Obannon case)  before anything KU related happens.

Reports of Dodds going out tomorrow.  Interesting to see the main power broker leaving, wonder what this does for the future of Big12 negotiations which have been driven so much by Deloss.

Does he have an assistant that they will promote?  I doubt they will promote the person who oversees women's sports...don't they have that sort of arrangement there???

forgive me for being a bit deceptive in my cliffsnotes post.  He will announce tomorrow, be out, out, in Aug 2014 and 'consult' after that.

[Pete]

The source said Texas President Bill Powers will lead the search for a successor and would very much like to have the position filled possibly before Dec. 1 although that's probably overly optimistic.

Would be kinda weird to get hired in December and have Deloss still there.

Note to the gamblers, i would not touch this game. With our issues at QB, I would hesitate to pick Tech here. Nor would i gamble on KU either. Tech hasnt been on the road since week one. This is a conference game. There is no telling how this will go.

Love the tailgating and attitude of the alumni, students, and fans of KU. It is one of my favorite places to visit in the Big 12:) Enjoy your weekend folks.

Boulder, Lawrence, and Austin were the best Big 12 destinations when I was in school.  I met people from all over the country who visited Lawrence and gushed about the experience.  I'm sure tons of people love visiting Manhattan as well.

who wouldn't want to tailgate in some random dudes front yard parking! 

[Spaces]

gushed!

[Stevesie60]

Some random message boarder who enjoys Lubbock said he enjoyed Lawrence too, everyone says it's the best college town in America.

[deputy dawg]

Beems reminds me of Jethro Bodine in Beverly Hillbillies:
Beems:  Austin, Boulder, Lawrence
Jethro:  London, Paris, Joplin
