KU and the Big 12 Always Get the Shaft Because Sports Writers are Idiots

December 2, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Just a quick post here to illustrate the national media and sports writer bias AGAINST the Big 12. And Let’s not get into the fact that the Big 12 has more teams in the running for the NCAA football championship game than anyone else, let’s talk Jayhawk Basketball. Kansas is 4 – 1, Florida is 5 – 1, Kansas beat Washington by 19 points, Florida beat Washington by 2. Kansas lost to Syracuse in overtime, Florida lost to Syracuse in regulation after being behind the ENTIRE GAME. Kansas dropped out of the top 25 while Florida is hovering around 19 – 22 depending on the poll. So let’s make this very clear, the SEC is given a free pass in every sport and is sometimes the sole focus of ESPN  and their college coverage. No ifs ands or buts about it, the Big 12 gets the shaft and everyone knows it. All you sportswriters and analysts out there need to pull your head out of your ass and read some statistics; you know, the thing that separates idiot columnists and commentators from actual sports analysts?
