“To me it’s a great rivalry, one of the best in college basketball without question, but I don’t think I would be interested in having a once a year game like I did when I was at Illinois, playing Missouri,” Self told the Journal-World on Tuesday night. [...] “If they choose to be somewhere other than with us and with the other schools that they’ve been a part of and could jeopardize the future of the other schools ... I’m not going to make a commitment now that we’d ever play again. I’m not saying we won’t. I’m certainly not going to pretend that we would.”

“I’m not saying it would be bad or won’t be bad (playing once on neutral court). I will say this ... the media is not going to dictate who we play. I’ll dictate who we play as long as I’m coaching here,” Self said. “I have no ill will toward Missouri at all, but to do something at a time that could be so damaging and hurtful to a group, I can’t see us just taking it and forgetting."

It's funny. Nobody said stuff like this to Nebraska or Colorado when they left. People understood that Colorado always identified with the PAC and Nebraska yearned for a return to their glory years that was never going to happen with OU and Texas blocking their way.

but A&M and Missouri. lol They are not nearly as important as they think and people are publicly calling them out for it.

But again, it's perfect they are going to the SEC. Where they think the world revolves around them but the majority of everybody else thinks they are inbred knuckleheads.

pretty sure OU came out and said they wouldn't be playing nebraska anytime soon

I hope OU, OSU, KU, ISU, Texas, Tech, and Baylor say the exact same thing to Missouri and A&M.
