And a clarification: I'm a Mavs fan and I love the AA center as a facility. But it shouldn't have the B12 tournament, and anyone who disagrees is basically wearing a squawk costume RIGHT NOW

okc would be the only other option.  okc is a terrible, horrible place.
No it's not.  Bricktown is sweet.  Plus I'd bet the cops there aren't complete dicks.

Every single one of you talking about the basketball tournament have spent way too much time huffing spray paint in paper bags.

The conference tournament will still be played in Kansas City on a fairly regular basis.  Mizzou leaving, they won't, won't make KU, KSU, and ISU fans hate basketball more.  The methheads leaving also won't make Texans and Oklahomans care about college basketball more.  Furthermore, if the conference expands it will expand north and east making KC a centralized location within the conference geographical footprint.  You idiots are overselling Missouri's impact on attendance at the tournament.  The meltdown about this is more annoying than ew constantly mentioning Air rough ridin' Force and 'Zacker being off of his Paxil finding the :runaway: in every bit of news or now-news he hears.

Wichita will not host the Big 12 tournament as long as the conference insists on having the men's & women's tournament in the same place, as obviously they don't have a second arena to host.  For the record the insistence of having both tournaments in the same place is really stupid and I wouldn't be surprised to see that practice end soon.

Whatever, Terry Pierce. Football players don't know anything about basketball.

Well, Jack Harry acted like a complete jackass to Currie in his interview.

I actually enjoyed seeing Currie have to respond to that.  I acknowledge that Currie is good at his job, but I also believe him to be a an bad person...an bad person with one foot out the door.  He'd leave us right now if he had a decent offer, IMO.

If Currie is going to leave, I hope he leaves now.  I don't think Bill is ready to give up FB yet, he has 2-3 years left.  My biggest fear is Currie leaves about the same time Bill is done, and all the tucks try to put Bill in the AD spot.  At that point FB is basically screwed until Bill croaks because our HC will either be Sean, Cosh, or Dimel.  Either Currie leaves now or stays long enough to hire the next FB coach.  I doubt he sticks around that long.

If Bill's our AD, he'll bring his friend Urban Meyer out of retirement to coach here. It's a scheme he's been working on since he came out of retirement.

They would never host a conference championship tournament at the gym of a Missouri Valley Conference school.

Look at the capacity of the buildings they have used in the past.  Also when looking at tournament attendance figures for men or women you should look at session attendance not individual game attendance.  The average session attendance in OKC was nearly 6000.  I'm not saying that the women's tournament should be in a 10,000 seat arena, but having it in a 5000 seat arena clearly caps possible additional revenue.  The conference shouldn't limit the amount of money they can make because dudes think they should play the games at OJ Watson Park.

Also worth noting that the Big 12 women's tournament always does better in OKC and Dallas than in KC and is the reason why they should move the women's tournament away from the men.  Having them in the same place has not benefited either tournament, I have no idea why anyone thinks this could possibly help the women's tournament.

I would love to see the BXII tourney in Wichita once, simply to see the meltdown over it on shockernet. Would. Be. Epic.

Every single one of you talking about the basketball tournament have spent way too much time huffing spray paint in paper bags.

The conference tournament will still be played in Kansas City on a fairly regular basis.  Mizzou leaving, they won't, won't make KU, KSU, and ISU fans hate basketball more.  The methheads leaving also won't make Texans and Oklahomans care about college basketball more.  Furthermore, if the conference expands it will expand north and east making KC a centralized location within the conference geographical footprint.  You idiots are overselling Missouri's impact on attendance at the tournament.  The meltdown about this is more annoying than ew constantly mentioning Air rough ridin' Force and 'Zacker being off of his Paxil finding the :runaway: in every bit of news or now-news he hears.

Wichita will not host the Big 12 tournament as long as the conference insists on having the men's & women's tournament in the same place, as obviously they don't have a second arena to host.  For the record the insistence of having both tournaments in the same place is really stupid and I wouldn't be surprised to see that practice end soon.

Hope you're right, but why would the league hold the tourney in a State that doesn't have a school in it?


Texas Christian University coach Gary Patterson has been hired as Kansas State's 34th football coach, multiple sources have confirmed to GoPowercat.com.  Patterson replaces Ron Prince, who was fired Wednesday. - Tim Fitzgerald   Nov, 7, 2008

I don't get that either.  Especially when OKC and Dallas are more than viable options.  You would have to disregard any idea of centralizing the tournament for BYU's sake.  And if UL and WVU were added, using MIR's reasoning, we'd have the tournament in Fayetteville because that would be "central" and who gives a sh*t about money going to the state where the conference doesn't have a school.

GMAFB, wichitards. 

OKC is like 2 hours away.

Can't walk to it.

Also can't walk from Bricktown to the Bricktown Marriott Renaissance hotel without getting tossed in the drunk tank.

The only reason I care about Mizzou leaving is to keep the tourny in KC.  The only reason I care about that is so I can continue my annual 3 day basketball/drinking bender at SprintCenter/P&L with kcpowercat, who lives within walking distance.

Agree they should have them in separate cities, but will miss pak'ing with you at the men's tournament.
