Holy cripes!!!!

3 of 10 are Big 12.

Kinda says a LOT about the conference strength to me.....

Great players, great coaches, high national rankings, lots of wins ( until they have to beat each other up during the conference season, and we don't play to a tie)....Big 12, Baby!

Anyone else miss the PRE-season conference tourney. Played in municipal auditorium, IIRC, in KC? Before it became so much about Money. (Dating mySELF!).

A FF tweet: .@CoachJankSMU kicking butt and @FGCUCoachDooley a game away from NCAA Tourney. Apples don't fall far from @CoachBillSelf tree.

Glad Coach Dooley is doing well....I ALWAYS liked him....still do.

The braying donkey (EMAW) history for Jank sticks in my craw....BUT I guess I should give him credit for ditching the purple and flying right.
