I want to see KU play Kentucky and Duke and UNC and MSU every year! I’ll never get tired of watching KU play quality national opponents. Especially after they’re overhyped, gotta love shutting up the media for a day or two. What I’m tired of is big boying the big12, it’s time for another national contender in conference. Texas screwed that up when they fired Barnes. Tech may be that if they can figure out how to get recruits there and keep Beard in place.

If KU does Champions Classic, plus Big 12/SEC and Big 12/Big East, plus an early season tournament (Maui, NIT, etc.), and a non-con road test, the non conference schedule will be very strong every year. That’s not a bad slate.

@Kcmatt7 Like I said and aside of NCAA rules, the schedules are pretty much maxed out and adding games would affect school work which most of the players still consider important…amazingly enough.

@JayHawkFanToo Great share, thanks. I liked the Graham interview. I liked Jevon Carters non-answer to what its like to play for Huggins “Pause. More pause. Well, uh, you know, main thing playing for a legendary coach, I couldn’t pass that up. I wasn’t highly recruited coming out of high school, I couldn’t pass that up.” I liked the Graham interview. And lastly, I liked this line from the article as I’ve wondered about the same thing: “The various computer power ratings love the Big 12. So as the conference of fickle fate recommences, here’s what you wonder: Are the recent scores reflective of teams starting to show flaws, or the inevitable bleeding when you go swimming with sharks?” When the other B12 teams do their early exits every year from the dance, is it because our conference isn’t as good as people think it is, or because they’re all bleeding? Combo maybe?

Wow, I was last before the final and moved up to third from last. Not sure how that happened! See I’m pleased because I knew I wouldn’t see my name at the top of the leaderboard so I picked hoping my name would be at the bottom, so I kind of accomplished my goal.
