And I've never understood this asinine idea that we just have to cheer for conference just because it's tournament time - especially this conference which has screwed us over time and again.

I mean, Baylor is the murder and rape U - why am I cheering for them?
KU is good because of things that they did that got the Feds to investigate them and Adidas - why am I cheering for them?
Texas is the ***** that sold us out for SEC money - why am I cheering for them?

**** this conference and loyalty to it.

I can't stand Creighton. I usually cheer for the Big 12 anyway. Will always cheer for a strong Big 12. Nobody in Baylor's program had anything to do with Art Briles and his actions (years ago).

I don't think people are asking you to go out to the KU and BU athletic site and order fan gear, I think people are just simply pointing out if everyone in the Big12 loses in the 2nd round it doesn't look good. Thats it.
I don't care to hear from my SEC and Big Ten friends that our league sucks. having our league do well is something we need right now to help league strengthen and with future negations.
Its easier to sell the brand if your league succeeds. and our conference brand really needs help right now.

other than that.....I am completely on board with you on everything you said though other than the Baylor thing is pretty old.

KU is getting hosed a little on some of these calls. I swear the refs do this **** on purpose to try to make the games tight down to the wire. Or they are gambling. Creighton has been getting away with a lot of ****. Like just now they cut it to one, but the white kid slips and travels before he dishes it off. Nope. One point game. Just what CBS wants.

I'm torn. I "greatly dislike" KU. But I don't like the Creighton huskers either.

Listening to the Michigan v Tennessee game on CBS now, it sure sounds like Mel Kipper Jr. doing the color? I thought he was mostly a football/ draft especially, analyst.

He's doing a good job with basketball, if him.

An ESPN NFL guy commentating college basketball on CBS? C'mon now.
