Schulz & Currie Plan of Attack for Realignment

[chum1]

Phase one:  After one team officially leaves Big 12 and it appears that others including Texas may do the same, argue these two points to the Longhorns.

the current revenue-sharing deal that is in the conference is very good for some of the big-dollar, big-market schools...Plus, we're all in the central time zone and have a nice north-south configuration and we don't have to go three time zones to play in these sporting events

Yeah, time zones are what's gonna lock this bitch in place.

There are Orange Bowl meetings. It's an hour ahead there so too late to talk to Currie, who is not a night owl.

Catch your ZZZZ's John

Holy eff we are mumped.

Operation Whistling Past the Graveyard apparently is in full effect, folks:

I can just hear this two headed monster in the war room now.

John:  "Team, do nothing until something happens". 

Kirk:  "Then, we'll figure out what we're going to do". 

John:  "It's very important we take a position of weakness and give the appearance of unsuspecting, grovelling, tag along pissants as much as possible.  Keep saying things like us and KU are working together on this even though we know they're laughing their asses off at us behind close doors and brokering deals independently for deals with other conferences that don't involve K-State." 

Kirk:  "Alright, let's all take a break at Call Hall, and if something happens after lunch we'll put our thinking caps on.  If something was yummy, tweet about it". 


eff me.  We deserve this.

"Great BBQ at Pats . . . Yum"

[sonofdaxjones]

"Cutting some nice Olive Branches . . . what a great day"

[Dr Rick Daris]

"the beaver and i are headed over to eddie's house to play some stick ball"

[EllToPay]

"taking a nice walk through aggieville...gotta love manhattan!"

[sonofdaxjones]

"Just met with the FFA kids visiting campus . . . what a great bunch, most of them future K-Staters"

[Three-putt]

I say go and soak in all you can at the Orange Bowl meetings.  Since that is the last time any one from here will be anywhere remotely close the BCS.

"So far, we haven't really looked at a lot of scenarios of where we'd go or what conference we might try to align ourselves with, but in the next week or so if it looks like we're not going to have a viable Big 12 or we get into a every-person-for-themselves mentality, I think then, I'll start to panic,"

JFC. You should have panicked a month ago.

Should never panic.  I can't imagine a worse response from a  leader than "I'll pretty much ignore it'll it smacks me in the face...then I'll panic."

It's embarassing to hear our president say something like that.

Phase two:  While in wait and see mode, get on the horn with conference realignment shot callers like miscellaneous SEC people Currie met while at UT and also Greg Byrne.  Beg.

That's pretty brilliant by sys.  Big East superior to Pac 10 in basketball and SEC superior to Pac 10 in football.  It's like the talking point to end all talking points.

No, it about important stuff like how much more value your life has when feel good about your perception of the status of your school's football team.  Dumbass.

Where does the Olive Garden fit into all this?

[chum1]

Conference Champs!

Pac 10:   

All better.

Phase 43: look awesome when Texas saves your asses at the last second.
