timekiller-s:
Thanks conference realignment and big money that has in many ways spoiled college sports. You bastards.
It hadn’t occurred to me that yesterday’s basketball game between Kansas and Missouri was its last as Big 12 rivals. Mizzou is moving into the Southeastern Conference next season, while Kansas is staying in the Big 12.

CNN Contributor Dana Loesch Defends Virginia... →
