Re: Big 12 Football 2009

Wow, the ACC would be bizarre. I don't see much room in the SEC, since they already have 12. I guess they could expand to 16 like the Big East for basketball, but that's pretty unwieldy for football. Yea, I don't think Notre Dame will ever join the Big Ten, but I think the Big Ten wants to keep the...

Re: Big 12 Football 2009

From what I have read, the Big Ten "courtship" with Mizzou has all been one-sided - Mizzou wants in, the Big Ten isn't all that interested. The Big Ten is eternally waiting for Notre Dame to jump ship and join them. Where would Texas go? The Pac Ten? There was a rumor that Texas and A&...

Re: Big 12 Football 2009

Are you certain? My understanding was that while there is a split that the attending school gets a significantly increased share. I could be wrong here.

This is why I love college football. It's a stupid, parochial cluster of rules piled on bureaucracy.

Re: Big 12 Football 2009

The Big XII is a corrupt sham that serves only to further the economic purposes of Texas, A&M, Oklahoma, and to a lesser extent Nebraska. It's no secret that Texas was loudly grumbling about negotiating a conference emigration last year after being dissatisfied with the tiebreaker process. There...

On the bright side, your coach could clearly eat their coach.

Re: 2009 Chiefs

The Gatorade bath for Haley at the end of that debacle may be the saddest, most pathetic moment in the history of Kansas City professional sports.

Re: GO ROYALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If payroll isn't going to increase this year because of excess spending on the draft, and only incrementally from here on out, it will only be enough to keep up with arbitration for our best eligible players. By the time the bad money in Guillen goes off the books we'll have a whole slew of new pro...

Re: 2009 Chiefs

How can you not fear and respect the guy who went 9-7 as a coordinator one time and has an accomplished father? I'm pretty sure we owe this entire debacle to Jake Delhomme.

Over/Under on number of games before Haley loses the locker room? I say 7.

Re: 2009 Big 12 pick'em game

You know, if we just count positive points for correct picks it won't benefit those who might have to miss a week or two like the current system does.

Re: Big 12 Football 2009

Let's hope he remains injury free and stays at Mizzou for the next 3 years.  If one of these things happens, the other won't. It won't even really matter if he struggles, with that body and that arm, if he's healthy, he'd be crazy not to go NFL draft after next year. Nothing has really changed from...

Re: GO ROYALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll be absolutely stunned if he can become a middle reliever of any quality, let alone a good setup man. If he makes it back to the majors as a pitcher of any stripe than it's an amazing story, but this is the last gasp for someone not good enough to hold a bat before he has to go get a real job an...
