But the Vuvuzelas aren’t the worst part of my week…
… and that’s saying something:

So apparently it’s all about ‘Merican Football and it’s big TV money, and therfore nobody really gives a shit about secondary revenue sports like basketball. My most cherished hope is that KU will end up in the Big East or ACC, but the Mountain West (who? … exactly) looks the most likely according to the local rumor mill.
Ugh.
We used to raid our main rival Missouri and kill motherfuckers. Who will I hate next year? Can you imagine Rangers getting split off from Celtic? Galatasaray from Fenerbahce? River Plate from Boca Juniors? Shrewsbury Town from Wrexham*? Those Missouri fuckers burned my town to the ground once. BYU are just creepy and weird.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.

I think one of the most poignant parts for me is this, which Time pointed out, but which I have already been ruminating on: “In spite of it all, the Big 12 never seemed stronger than this year, with teams high in the rankings of sport after sport after sport.”
We had probably our best turnout in the NCAA Tournament for basketball ever! The most teams made it out of our conference that anyone can remember. Ugh. It’s just so sad.
One more reason to hate football. UGH.
