An Andy Katz geography lesson

Could it be that much worse than living in Nebraska?

 

It's much better than living in Nebraska because it's not as cold in winter.

Maybe Katz confused Butler with Butler County Community College, which is actually very close to Wichita. Still don't think the Shockers and Grizzlies have much of a rivalry though.

 

Of course, Wichita does have a team that made the Sweet 16. Mizzou ... not so much.

 

God bless the Missouri Valley Conference.

Maybe Katz was thinking of Creighton, since that is Nebraska's in-state rival and, like WSU, Creighton is in the MVC.

I know WSU used to play Kansas regularly, until Kansas got tired of losing to them. Do they play Kansas State every year?

 

Meanwhile, does anybody have an update on what exactly is going on with the Butler AD vacancy? I keep hitting refresh on ESPN, but all I get is this crappy news about blockbuster baseball trades, NFL training camps opening, and Landis' possible doping.

 

the look on the girl's face (right) is priceless and makes me want to ... ahh, nevermind.

 

I like Wichita State, but Kansas wasn't doing a whole lot of losing to the Shockers when they stopped that series. WSU was really bad then, but still thought it should get a home-and-home deal. There was also a issue with WSU wanting the game on pay-per-view, which conflicted with KU's other TV deals.
