Our President is a fracking pussy.  I mean, seriously, Kirk.  

Seriously.

JFC.

Just a fail . . . completely off this guys bandwagon, unless he pulls a f_cking blue whale out of his a$$.

we've got two people who've never played poker before and they are both sitting at the table with pros and just got dealt a 2-7 offsuit face up. not much they can do. we're kstate for godsakes. not michigan or something. it's just a bad deal combo. almost feel bad for currie and schulz.

 

[WHAT?]

PLEASE!

Yeah, MU is going north or east.  KU will prolly end up in the Pac10 once aTm goes SEC.  We will go to the Mtn West.  ISU will go to Conf. USA.  Baylor will prolly tag along with us.  eff me.

i dont mind it if it breaks down that way. would of course like to still be in the big 12 and would prefer if missouri and ku would join us but honestly the mountain west is a good fit for us. now c-usa (or even worse sun belt) would be soul crushing depressing. also i dont get if missouri and ku join the mwc that they would be looking to leave because they can leave now. so if they were to join it would be because they know thats the best they could get. if the remaining big 12 teams could all join the mwc it would certainly help it. it does kinda suck that they are on versus (a channel ive never seen) until 2015 but by then maybe we could get a tv contract with a better channel

according to this article it doesnt seem like the mwc wants baylor due to bad blood between them and tcu

"Despite success in nearly every sport but football, Baylor may not be so welcome in another MWC expansion. Some TCU officials and powerful alums remain irked over the way Baylor was included in the Big 12 after the breakup of the Southwest Conference. The Frogs were left out."

I give the odds that either (not even both, just either) KU or MU joining the MWC at 0%. 

[goldenticket]

yeah i think you are right sd

so how quickly will we know our fate? would prefer not to drag the process out too long. by the end of next week could we know of our future home?

The mtn isn't even on Dish yet.  Getting some Big 12 castoffs and Boise could help quite a bit in expanding their TV revenue stream.  Add in Hawaii, Fresno, maybe Memphis.  Getting KU basketball games on their network would be enormous.  Maybe see if Gonzaga would be willing to join as the 17th member and have a great basketball conference.

Obviously... I retract my dream of getting KU in our conference to drive the TV channel.

Well, TX has their meeting or whatever on Tuesday.  So, they will prolly announce their Pac10 move then along with TTech, OSU, OU.  Unknown is aTm.  Nobody else will do anything until aTm decides on either the SEC or Pac10 offer because everyone will hold out hope they can get the one they don't take.  Then, we prolly wait to see how many Big East/ACC teams the Big10/SEC take and we can then either try to cobble together a group of losers or take the easy way out and jump into the MWC.  My guess is we don't know our final fate (unless we pull a miracle our of our asses and get an invite to the SEC or some other crazy thing that's not happening) for at least a month.  Could be months.  Who the eff knows.  It's going to be terribly depressing.

That'd be a shocker RT @jppalm OU QB coach Josh Heupel tells banquet crowd OU is headed to SEC. http://tinyurl.com/252zwx9

yeah, posted that last night.  He said he got a text from another one of their coaches about it. Kinda weird.

so now the MWC only wants KU and Mizzou?  http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/news/story?id=5279018

They talk about K-State in the piece too but the title ignores us (because we are losers)

This isn't fun anymore.  I just want it to be all over.  It's like watching a person slowly die, but you keep checking all the reports and hoping for good news.  This sucks.

[goldenticket]

Then, we prolly wait to see how many Big East/ACC teams the Big10/SEC take and we can then either try to cobble together a group of losers or take the easy way out and jump into the MWC.  My guess is we don't know our final fate (unless we pull a miracle our of our asses and get an invite to the SEC or some other crazy thing that's not happening) for at least a month.  Could be months.  Who the eff knows.  It's going to be terribly depressing.

Who knows, maybe we do.  I'm def. not an expert.
