Re: Big 12 Quarterfinals Thread

And the other day I heard the announcers say that Texas had three recruits coming in that are 6'10". Jeez. I wonder if that includes the tall one that's in street clothes? They're going to be a handful if that's true.

Yeah, two of them are big-time gets — Prince Ibeh and Cameron Ridley. Ibeh is a 7-foot shotblocking machine and Ridley is a 6-10, 250 type who could be a McDonald's All-American. Ridley has been committed to them for a long time yet hasn't signed yet. If Brown and Kabongo come back, they're going to be really good.

"I just hate their fans. I hate them. Their fans kind of have a false sense of reality about what Kansas basketball is. It's not Kentucky. It's not UCLA."

This has become a pissing contest. First MU fans bunched their panties over what Self said and now this. Funny considering the way MU fans are. So if KU isn't UK or UCLA then what does that make MU and all their titles?

We've got a ball game so far. Baylor up 19-18 with just over 10 left in the half.

What channel is this on? The on screen guide says ESPNU but it's not on ESPNU has the SEC in Tulsa.

Ugh, no. I wish Scott Drew no success. This final group in the Big 12 tournament is all sorts of awful.
- No way I would Texas to win or even advance. I could never root for them.
- Kansas, do they really need another Big 12 Tournament victory?
- Baylor, Scott Drew is my most despised coach in college basketball.
- Mizzou, I do not want them to walk away Big 12 tournament champs in their last season in the conference.

For me, Kansas is the least evil of the 4.

It's on whatever station normally runs the Big 12 Network games in your area. In OKC, it's on KOCB.

I watched plenty of games this year, but didn't pay much attention as to what channel they were on. Looks like someone decided Tulsa didn't need to see the Big XII tournament.

 

[MsProudSooner]

Found it on something called RTV, Channel 131. The giude says it should be Highway to Heaven and it's not HD. None of the Big XII games have been on this channel before. I never seem to hear of people having problem like this in OKC. It has a logo for channel 8, the ABC station. At least I know who to complain to.

I sent this to the GM and Operations Director at Channel 8. It won't make it difference, but it lowered my blood pressure. There are quite a few KU fans in Tulsa. they must be frustrated beyond belief.

I just finished a 30 minute search for the Big XII tournament Semi-Finals broadcast. Were I passionate about one of the teams playing in these games, this email would be considerably more strident.

I finally found the games, which my Cox Program Guide said should be in HD on ESPNU, on RTV, Channel 131 and not in HD. The upper right corner of the screen has your logo or I would have no idea who to complain to. I can only imagine how infuriated the Kansas, Baylor, Texas and Missouri fans who live in the area must feel. If you are going to hijack broadcasts that should be in HD on ESPNU, you should ad least make sure that the program guide reflects the change.

I don't know how the ins and outs of how decisions were made that moved this programming to a backwater non-hd station. I just know that it was an incredibly stupid decision. I would tell you that you have lost a viewer, but that wouldn't be true. Over the years, I have quit watching almost everything on network TV. Reality shows are pablum for people with 2 digit IDs and the local news tries too hard to be tabloid TV.

You can go back to not serving your viewers now.

Looked like goal tending a while ago. Not many calls going Baylors way in KC.

 

[Sooner23]

Kansas and their officials taking over.

I haven't seen as much of other leagues as I usually do. Is there a shortage of elite teams to be #1 seeds this year? KU just doesn't seem to be a #1 seed caliber team to me - even if they had pulled this game out.

 

[KCRuf/Nek]

MU looking like a #1 right now. With all the athletes Texas has they are struggling to keep up. Hate to see MU doing so well. Go Bears!!

 

[KCRuf/Nek]

Baylor is doing everything they can to give it to MU and yet they're still in it. Not sure what it takes for a foul on MU. The ghost of Boomer Bain must be there for one last time.
