Any chance KU saves us if we lose?

[Sparker]

If it comes down to KU having to beat MU for us to get into the CCG I would be real interested to watch the officiating in that game. You could bet with almost certainty that if that game is close the calls are going to go MU's way.

Sorry, but that is total paranoia. If any of this bs about a conspiracy to use officials to keep us out of the CCG were true , the logical thing to do would have been to use it in the Misery game. They had 7 for 40and the big red had 6 for 50. They could have easily called a hold on a couple of Roy's TDs. Let's quit this junk. It makes us look like whiners. Next year when we lead the big 10 in penalties and we probably will because of style of play, will we whine that they are trying to keep the new kid from winning? Geesh

Most of the penalties were on the offense. Illegal formation, false start, holding, etc. What "style of play" are you referring to?

The Same style of play that has had us averaging more than seven per game (over 8 this year) and having markedly more than our opponents each of the last three years ..the Bo era. Aggressive defense has given us many penalties, but a price you can afford if being one of the best scoring Ds. We are not the victim of a big 12 conspiracy and it is time to stop acting like cry babies with every loss.

I'm not crying, I'm simply pointing out that the offense has been called for their share of penalties, and people put too much blame on the D.

Referencing something is not the equivalent of whining about it, whether you happen to agree with the point of view or not. I actually don't believe in some vast Big 12 conspiracy against us because that conference seems to have difficulty doing anything seamlessly, let alone pull together a bunch of shadowy confidants to engage in a brainstorming strategy session on how to screw us. What I mean to say is, that conference can't pull together in unison on any issue, so I highly doubt they could mastermind some secret, illicit snow job on us.

But I'm sick of people being characterized as whiny simply because they are pointing out some disparities that the league office refuses to address.
