I don't get what's so hard to understand here. No one is saying games against Iowa State and Kansas State are completely desirable, especially not right now.* But are you guys being intentionally dense or what is so hard to understand? It's like if when talking about Texas A&M right now, Big XII fans would say: "Why would you leave the Big XII and games with Oklahoma and Texas to play Mississippi State and Vanderbilt?" Which completely misses the point. Or "Why would Nebraska leave to go play Northwestern and Indiana when they can play, again, Oklahoma and Texas" instead of using Ohio State and Michigan. I'm pretty sure that's all panerd is saying- you're cherry picking of the highest and dumbest degree and it's not really necessary. Those of us with Big XII schools know we're all just limping along and it's a matter of time but you don't really need to intentionally crap on us further- just make it fair.
*I mean, we're past the days of Marcus Fizer and Jamaal Tinsley and Iowa State's brief flirtation with being good at basketball. And, again, Kansas State was a national title contender on the football stage but that was a while ago. Everyone has really nice runs but they are not marquee programs.
