  1. Iowa State in Kansas City in the Big 12 :: Arkansas in Dallas in the SWC
  2. UH will run them. Kansas has nothing on the road. And its Senior Day, where UH will celebrate a ton of stuff. That game will be ugly. I also suspect that KSU will give yall everything you can handle in the Little Apple. Winning on the road is hard, then add in Senior Day and its usually a pretty rough day for road teams unless they are way better than the home team. Same thing for Rapelor at Tech.
  3. If I were them, I'd jump on that shit ASAP. They don't want to be in a conference with Texas or Oklahoma, so go. And let Texas recruit here as the only SEC option in the state. Since they blew that advantage all those years, let them see how it looks to not have that option.
  4. That KU team is nothing to fear. I think UH, Baylor, and ISU are all better than them, even though they beat two of them already, UH and Baylor will do to them what Tech just did when they play them at home. What I can't figure out is who in that middle group of Big 12 teams has the goods to make a run in the tournament. Maybe Tech or TCU? I don't see KU or Texas making any noise, nor do I see BYU doing anything. UH seems like the only serious title contender.
  5. History will tell us that ISU will run hard and win the Big 12 Tournament out of nowhere, then get into the first round as a trendy pick because they are hot and lose to some midmajor in the first round.
  6. A&M going from 5-7 to 7-5 was realistically about as good as they could ask for. But their fanbase rarely deals in reality. They were never going to beat Bama, Tennessee, Ole Miss, or LSU, and the games against Miami, Arky, and South Carolina were almost destined to provide at least one loss. Only games against OOC spares and MSU (Without Leach, who was their kryptonite) and Auburn were the probable wins. Going anything better than 7-5 seemed ridiculous from the start--and that was with Weigman being healthy all year.
  7. That movie takes a lot of bagging these days, but the scenes where he meets his son for the first time and the scene where he places the envelope with MOM inscribed on the front at Jenny's gravesite just destroy me every time. First movie I ever cried in and it still does it to me to this day anytime I see it.
  8. Yeah, I don't get the idea of anyone wanting SMU. Nobody cares about them outside of Highland Park. They don't draw flies to games at home unless they play a big named school or someone who cares about playing them (see North Texas). People have heard of them because they cheated better than anyone had at the time in the 80s, but really, nobody cares about them.
  9. Pony Excess was my favorite, but the best one was the Duke Lacrosse fiasco where justice prevailed. Mike Nifong tried his very best to play politics to stay in power and gain popularity, all the while not giving one care about the lives he was about to crush because of lies.
  10. This...everything you posted is perfect.
  11. This. The AAS and other media outlets were salivating at a controversy of not hiring a black man who took over a horrible situation from a white dude assaulting his lady and took them to the Elite Eight, only to be told he didn’t do enough and we hire some white dude. Thats now this university’s leadership rolls. CDC had no choice, honestly. If it’s a disaster in 3 years, then you can move on.
  12. Iowa State has embarrassed themselves, the league, the tournament committee, the NCAA, America, and the game of basketball…
  13. At a school that is as progressive as we are, I can't imagine Rodney Terry doesn't already have the job. CDC doesn't even want to face the backlash that the leadership at Belmont and the media frenzy will create if Terry doesn't get the job. Racism is just not something the university will accept--they will defer to the opposite, just to be sure it doesn't get hurled. If this was Tech or A&M, they'd not think one thing about it...but here, we wont.
  14. OSU won 9 Big XII games out of the 20 they played this season. That alone should get them in. Playing ANYWHERE else would have gotten them 12+ wins, IMO…
  15. I’ve lurked here a long time and @Al_4_ISU is a pretty good poster. Not sure that I get the attack on him. Plus, his team has great fans and owns Baylor. Am I missing something? I’ll hang up and listen…
  16. I'm still convinced that ISU will make their run in KC and win the thing. Too many times that this has happened--and you guys have the home court advantage as the entire T-Mobile Center and P&L District turns red and gold. Looks like a McDonald's Seminar gone wild...
  17. I'm just preparing myself for the kick in the junk that Ill feel if Rodney Terry is named permanent head coach, especially if the season ends in the second round.
  18. If he gets fired, he's gonna leave behind a program that is in much better shape than the one he got...
  19. I'd prepare myself for the exact opposite to happen, unless he loses in the 1st round of the NCAAs. He has a lot going in his favor for that job, stuff that matters to university's like UT. I'm with you, he is in way over his head, but that's not what one media member or university leader will say publicly.
  20. Nah, that was the right call at the end, especially seeing it in real time from a ref’s eyes. TCU dude was just hugely clutch in that situation. Thought Tech should have had a better play with that much time left, to be honest.
  21. Games at Baylor and at TCU, before hosting KU at home is just brutal. Compare that with KU getting WVU and Tech at the Phog before coming down here. Its hard to see a tie for the title without some major surprises.
  22. I believe that both teams finishing 2-1, with KU’s loss being in Austin, would make us the 1 seed. As that would mean we swept Baylor or TCU while KU split with both.
  23. Truth--but that talent difference that was obvious in Lawrence in January was basically squashed completely last night. TCU looked way too tight and almost as if the lights at home were just too bright.
