What is that little city in Florida doing to celebrate the NBA title they just won? Are they going to put streamers on their tractors and drive them around the town square?

I'd go with closet homosexual. I'm not saying the dude would suck a dick, but he'd definitely hold one in his mouth until the swelling went down.

Most of it is probably Wickedson. Any time a Missouri fan posts something less complimentary than "I think Kansas is a fine school, I hate that we wont play any more, maybe the SEC was a mistake", he sees it as an attack to respond to.

He's incredibly easy to troll, some of his outbursts are hilarious, and I sort of wish there was a Missouri version of him in this thread.

Really dude? Homophobia?

I didn't think I was dealing with that level of fan but damn. Maybe it really is time to move on.

Inasmuch as Wickedson has a large number of Mizzou (and other SEC) fans all atwitter with nearly every post he/she/it makes it doesn't seem to me like he/she/it is the one being trolled.

You're an ignorant mother ****er aren't you? :evil:

That's the beauty of it. He thinks he's wittily trolling away, but he just makes himself look worse all the time. He's comedy relief of the highest degree.

Even his fellow KU fans have kept their distance from the perpetual Wickedson trainwreck. Personally, I hope he doesn't change a thing.

MU Football athletes still smarter than their Big XII opponents.

MU football APR among leaders in Big 12, SEC

For the second year in a row, Missouri’s football team led the Big 12 Conference with the highest Academic Progress Rate score. Every Division I sports team calculates its APR each year based on the eligibility and retention of each scholarship athlete. Teams that score below certain standards face sanctions. Rates are based on the past four years’ performance, and the latest scores measure four academic years ending with 2010-11.

Missouri football’s score of 972 was a five-point increase from the previous season. Only nine teams from public universities in the Football Bowl Subdivision posted a higher APR than Missouri: Ohio State, Northern Illinois, Middle Tennessee State, Clemson, Rutgers, Wisconsin, Central Florida, Georgia Tech and TCU. Florida also scored 972. Only one team from the Southeastern Conference, MU’s new league starting July 1, posted a higher score, Vanderbilt at 978.

Here are the most recent APR scores for football programs in both the Big 12 and the SEC. (Because the scores were for the 2010-11 academic year, former Big 12 members were still grouped with the Big 12.)

Big 12
Missouri, 972
Kansas, 971
Oklahoma, 970
Nebraska, 966
Baylor, 956
Texas A&M, 946
Texas Tech, 946
Kansas State, 943
Colorado, 938
Iowa State, 938
Texas, 937
Oklahoma State, 928

SEC
Vanderbilt, 978
Florida, 972
Georgia, 970
Alabama, 970
South Carolina, 966
LSU, 964
Mississippi State, 959
Kentucky, 951
Auburn, 943
Arkansas, 936
Mississippi, 933
Tennessee, 931

And you're a xxxxx and a liar. I think we've covered this territory.

I don't think even Wickedson believes half of what he/she/it types. That's the entertaining part, I agree. But many folks sure do get their panties in a twist over it.

Rumors abound that the ACC is making a play for WVU.

Well, sort of. It is a fairly new rumor, but it is about old news. If one is to believe the rumor, about a month ago, while the ACC was in full panic mode, they wanted to bring Notre Dame in as a full member and invite WVU to go to 16. WVU told them they weren't interested.

Once again, if you believe the rumor.

The facts are, WVU has signed a 6 year GoR, they have a huge loan with the B12 to cover their exit fees, and they are quite excited about joining the B12.

I'd be all over that if i was WV. Not because ACC is necessarily a better conference, but because you won't alienate your fanbase, make your team travel all over hell, and it's alot easier to recruit kids from the East Coast to WV than kids from the Midwest I would think.

I haven't seen anything saying anyone has signed a granting of rights yet, only a lot of speculation.

ROFL That would be damn funny if they jump ship already.

Having WV leave would be great for the Big XII because everything about that program fan wise is atrocious.

The Dude has finally conceded that Big 12 expansion is dead for this year due to waiting on Notre Dame.

OU Rivals site is saying Dodds is the one that is pushing to wait for ND, while everyone else wants to expand. Big 12 not going forward without a consensus. Also FSU and Clemson not completely out of picture, but some definite complications going on.

consensus (everyday definition): general agreement; the judgement arrived at by most of those concerned

consensus (big12 definition): what does Texas think?

Interesting. Mizzou had a five point increase. I wonder which school improved the most?

Jeff Goodman of CBS Sports has 15 SEC players being drafted in his mock, including three of the first four, and eight in the first round.

The only conference that even comes close is the ACC with 11 total picks including seven in the first round.

Has the SEC surpassed the ACC and Big East as the top basketball conference?

Interesting note.

Missouri is about to announce a major donation to the Athletic Department at Mizzou.

I have very solid information that indicates a huge lump sum donation is going to be made by an entity in KC.

Keitzmann should be fun to listen to this afternoon.

Heh, nice. It may be worth turning it on to see if they talk about it before the Smoke n Fire/Racin Boys/Golf with Jack segments.

Don't you mean KANSAS City?

Panties in a bunch this post will cause.

Why do you think that?

OK, we're official. 4 teams, selection committee, 12 years, $500MM/year, most of it probably going to playoff conferences, semifinals rotated between 6 bowls.

Let the realignment games begin!

How does an uninformed loser like this get a job for a major newspaper?

There are idiots in every profession. It seems more and more idiots are allowed a venue to speak their minds.

He's the voice of the suffering silent minority over the audaciousness of what every college yearns to be. Or something.

I resemble that remark.

As do I, but unfortunately, I don't have a newspaper that will let me put it in print or a radio/tv show that will let me talk.

More cold water dumped on the idea of grand Big 12 expansion:

Internal Big 12 documents reveal only Notre Dame will increase the value of the conference's TV contracts.

Texas doesn't want mote mouths to feed, so it looks doubtful that FSU or Clemson would get approval from Deloss Dodds to come on board.

http://newsok.com/article/3688049

WTF? Louisville?

That was in December. Before the ACC rumors popped up.

Shitty academics but they have one hell of an athletic program that under the Big 12 banner would go even higher.

It was from January, and there absolutely were many rumors about FSU and Clemson going to the Big 12 back then.

Here is a blog post from The Dude back in January where he discusses the FSU and Clemson rumors, in addition to many other schools.

http://www.eerinsider.com/2012-artic...expansion.html

Nobody believed it back then.

What are you talking about? Florida State set-up an expansion committee in September and Big 12 fans have been posting West Virginia blogger rumors before then.

:wayne:

The info re: Notre Dame is interesting, especially considering...

NBC owns the broadcast rights to ALL of Notre Dame's home football games, (one is played at neutral site game each year, which NBC still owns).

In a conference situation, that's going to be at least 6 games (12-team) and probably 7 or 8. So 4-5 Notre Dame road games/year is worth more than the value added by having first right of refusal for ALL of Clemson or Florida State's game?

Interesting.

Unless, of course, Notre Dame would be giving the Big 12's TV partners first crack at its games. At which point its deal with NBC would have to be altered and likely reduced. Having third shot at games is going to reduce the value to NBC, reduce the number of ND games it can broadcast yearly and probably lead to the network wanting to reduce its payout.

I'd think if ND was willing to change/alter the deal as much as would be necessary to give ABC and ESPN first crack at its football games, the Irish would be well served to carefully compare that arrangement to what ND could have if it went to the B1G.

I haven't been paying close attention to ND or this situation. Is there something I'm missing that would address this?

We know that because of the text messages we obtained from the iPhone and also from surveillance that was done throughout this investigation of Mr. Villeareal,” Moorhead said, according to a transcript of the hearing obtained by The Star


At one occasion law enforcement had Mr. Villeareal this basketball season at the Sprint Center sitting behind the KU basketball bench with a number of the players,” she said. “So we know that he had probably not only a personal relationship with them but a professional relationship as well.”

Realignment!

LMAO

Clownshoes

Why are you linking such an old article (that has already been linked and discussed previously)?

t's and p's

What does this have to do with realignment?

Questions!

Meh.

I got stoned w/ Jeff Boschee back in the day. His gf lived across the hall from my buddy. She was always throwin parties and shit. Didn't see any other KU players. But Boschee was a huge weed guy.

The 2 biggest potheads I've ever encountered at MU were Jason Simpson and Zack Abron. Both ironically got into trouble because of it.

College kids smoking weed is about as shocking as college kids drinking and having sex.

It's a good thing they stop it before the NBA and real life though.....

Look out - Wickedson found a negative article about that former rival he no longer cares about.

It's gonna be a rough night for Rosie. LMAO

What was that story where the 07-08 future Jayhawk pros and Michael Beasley smoking pot in the hotel rooms w/ minors at the NBA rookie symposium? Beasley hiding in the bathtub? ROFL

Think I remember hearing something like that.

When did I ever say it was negative? I love cocaine.

Yeah, Chalmers was there and basically got caught smoking blunts and having girls over when they were supposed to be "lights out".

Now he's an NBA Champion.

And now there are rumors that they are looking at replacing him next year. He sure was such an important part of that run!

Stand at the 3pt line and pop open 3's thanks to LeBron and Wade....tough job. They don't need him.

Game four would beg to differ.

If that's the case I would think some team would jump all over him. He really came to play in the finals.

Really? KU hate must extend to former players and their NBA careers, either that or you didn't watch the finals.

Lol, never knew what the thoughts of a loser were.

Now I do.

http://www.wvgazette.com/Sports/201206300077

According to Bowlsby, the 13-year extension for the GOR has been signed.

I thought the Big 12 imploded?

Where is all this false information coming from?

I thought that FSU, Clemson, and ND to the Big XII was all but done?

You don't care about the lowly Big 12 do you? They're old news.

Not really, but if those three join the Big XII that affects all of CFB which I do care about.

20 mins until it is official... I have my Jim Beam in hand!

WOOHOO THE DIVORCE IS OFFICIAL. :rockon:

WOOHOO INDEED!:thumb:

Finally official...Looking forward to this!

Happy SECession day! M I Z!

Good for you guys. Might be a rough first couple of years, but it's going to be worth it in the long run.

Thank God! I hope it can be one of those amicable divorces. So far, however, it seems to be one of those where one person keeps calling their ex to tell them how great their new spouse is, and how they're finally happy.

See what I mean.

I'm happy for you both.

Or how the person scorned says how much better off they are now that they are rid of the ex...when in reality they are envious.

TBH.....I hope the Big 12 does well, except for Texas. I hope their program continues to slowly and surely slide, if only for a few years.

I'll bet some are envious. The SEC is the best conference in the country. The Big 12 isn't any better off, but it's not falling apart either, no school is a loser here, but it seems for some on both sides, there has to be one. I don't see why, I think it's silly.

Good luck in the SEC MU. Hopefully the petty BS will die off a bit in this thread.

I don't think the Big 12 is better off, nor do I believe it is falling apart. It has lost some very good rivalries (not just MU/KU) over the last couple of years. And that falls in the lap of Dan Beebe.....

I hope that someday MU & KU get over their hurt feelings and play each other again. But...who's to say we won't meet somewhere on the court in the NCAA tourney? Now, that would be fun.

Why are you including MU in that? No hurt feelings there. They've said from Day One they wanted to continue playing Kansas.
