no one is mad. I don't know how much this have to be explained. People would rather play MU than WVU because it's more convenient. That's the only reason and in time that will change.

If you don't want to play in the league why should the teams still in that league care about playing you?

It doesn't make any sense.

KSU lost.

I disagree there would be plenty to gain by winning. Otherwise I think we agree.

You might want to quit for the day.

That was simply awful.

How much do you want to bet they play within five years?

The reality is that MU doesn't need KU when it comes to football....and KU doesn't need MU when it comes to Basketball.

For a team to walk all over in football to take KU's place all we had to do was invert the initials to UK.

For a team that is nationally ranked and always a powerhouse in BB, once again all we had to do was invert the initials.

It was acrimonious and it was personal. Both for Texas toward aTm & KU (& KState for that matter) toward MU. That's plain as day to anyone paying attention.

As to the last question there are many benefits to the schools playing each other. The hoops & football games would generate $, it would be fun for the fans on both sides & frankly it'd be good for college football & college basketball in general. Tradition is one of the things that make both sports great. If any element of it can be preserved through this climate of change it's good for both IMO. That's why they "should". The question you should ask is why they'd necessarily "have" to. They don't & KU doesn't need to put on a defense as to why they aren't playing. At least not to me. I am just giving an opinion as opposed to lobbying per se.

You could say neither one needs the other for anything relatively speaking but that's not really the point.

mu has a 50% winning percentage against Kentucky in football?

Wow you'd think that would be better.

What was the best out if conference win for the Big 12? They didn't have anything resembling a good win last year. Anything this year?

Notre Dame I guess.

Unranked Notre Dame is the best win...by far. Mississippi freaking State might be the second best.

Unless I'm missing something, I don't think the Big 12 won a non-conference game against a bowl eligible team from a BCS conference.

lol, best non con win the SEC East had this year was UCF.

Never change bro

South Carolina beat Clemson.

Also, LSU lost to two teams we beat & we are playing the team that beat Alabama tomorrow (which is irrelevant to looking at the division at this time but speaks to the notion that we could win the league by dodging everyone w/ a pulse which isn't true). Granted GA was at full strength for the LSU game which would be a fair point but the division isn't near as dilapidated as a coupla ya'll are trying to make it out to be.
