I don't understand what you all are fighting over- isn't it obvious that the West Coast Conference is the best conference in the country, hands down?

As an ex-pizza delivery driver, I wonder if people get upset when their pizza is late. I could see looking at the address and expecting to be able to get through and ending up delivering the pizza 15 minutes late. This is nowhere near as big of a deal as emergency vehicles, but there would be so man...

With a better record than Mizzou, why wouldn't K-State get Kansas City (over either Mizzou or Wichita State)? Or, why not replace Northeastern with K-State and have 4 local teams? (I know the NCAA isn't thinking in terms of local teams, but if they want to have a good draw, getting as many local te...

I don't think recruiting rankings mean much at this point. For example, K-State is currently dead last in the Big 12 (and behind Mizzou nationally). I would look for both Mizzou and K-State and move up eventually. It depends on who you are and what you are looking for. I don't think that the servic...

Yep, it will help in recruiting. This is what I am thinking. He will retire when it is time for him to retire- nobody is going to push him out and nobody is going to force him to stay before his contract is up. But when opposing coaches are recruiting against you because you could retire at any tim...

A quote so true it has become iconic - If totalitarianism comes to the United States it will come waving the American flag and carrying a bible. That is how dictatorships work - hyper nationalism and appeals to ancient tradition. Usually accompanied by some ginned up bogus "external threat&quo...

Better late than never, I guess... Expect some changes to the SCOUS, moving toward the left. MISSOURI: Basketball: Wins either the SEC regular season or tourney. Doesn't make it past the 2nd round. Football: 6-6, lose bowl game. Rumors start about Pinkel getting fired. I don't see any conservative ...

http://www.alternet.org/tea-party-and-r ... paging=off So what? The GOP thought of the idea before the Dems. Look at the numbers. Configure the districts without the so-called gerrymandering and then see what the results would have been. One thing to remember, take out the so-called legal gerrymand...

:lol: You lost me at: Every team they lost to wen to a bowl game. Had they played Colorado's schedule, chances are that they would have won a few games. Had they played Missouri's schedule, chances are they would have won a few games. Just for fun, compare the strength of schedule of KU, Colorado, ...

I'm glad that you are able to trade any hope of success for your own team for the ability to brag about the success of other teams in your conference. I'm glad that your school has fulfilled its dream of moving out of a conference that you feel has slighted you to a cult of a conference where the b...

What's more impressive is that the SEC did it with Mizzou in their conference. :D Exactly. And the Big 12 did it with the worst team in the country in their conference. The SEC didn't have that luxury. I'm glad that you are able to trade any hope of success for your own team for the ability to brag...

I have never understood this. Climate scientists tell us that water resources are going to become scarces in the future, so why should populations be allowed to grow in regions that do not have the water resources to sustain themselves. Albuquerque is an example of a city that is doing this right, ...

BCS- BSU is 15 and NIU is 16 in the coaches poll. It is my understanding that if one of those two teams finishes in the top 16 they would be automatically included in the BCS? Hopefully the computers are not as kind as the Coaches poll. There are ten spots- six AQs, Notre Dame, Oregon and probably F...

If I could just pick and choose... 11. Nebraska 12. Missouri 13. Texas A&M 14. Colorado 15. Florida State 16. Clemson I love this! It looks great to me, but why Florida State and Clemson? Why not go for the gold: Norte Dame and some other great school? I wouldn't want Notre Dame unless they wer...

They'd win a few games in the ACC. It's Florida State, Clemson and a bunch of KU's.

And, coming soon, Notre Dame.

Not likely.

Not much really. But just as silly as the argument just made to say the Big 12 is the best conference in CFB imo. Really? Would you bet against West Virginia, Iowa State and Baylor against the bottom half of any other conference including the SEC? yes. Stay away from Vegas. The Big 12 is the deepes...

The SEC laid a smack down on the ACC yesterday. Georgia destroyed Tech at home. Florida and SC went on the road and beat their in state rivals by two scores. Going by BCS rankings of last week Florida is the 3rd best SEC team beating the best ACC team on the road. South Carolina is the sixth best S...

But, the top SEC teams have lost a game, like like the top teams in the Big 12, Big Ten, and Pac-12. The difference? They didn't lose to losing teams. Teams that lose to losing teams generally don't do well in the polls. Believe it or not, I am beginning to come around on the 14 team conference ide...

You make it sound as if for AAU status to not be important to conference realignment, conferences should be actively avoiding AAU schools. Who would the Pac Ten have taken? They were working on a deal to take Colorado and the Big XII South sans Baylor (which would have included 3 non-AAU schools) an...

The GOP has lost the popular vote in US presidential elections in 5 out of the last six elections. Their only win on popular vote is Bush in 2004. Demographics are not going to get any better for the GOP. As one pundit put it the GOP likes to ritualistically attack blacks, hispanics, women, gays, g...
