We agree on something. Now, where were you when Alford and 95% of the posters here were claiming Iowa was the Big Ten champion because it won the conference tournament?
I don't know anyone who claims ISU is the Big XII champion. I'm sure some do, but I certainly don't. Kansas is the champion. There may be people wearing t-shirts that say that, because that's the official position of the conference (same as in every conference) and that may be what the shirts they were selling in Kansas City say.
But this is really ironic, because I got in any number of fairly heated discussions on this board when you guys were all claiming to the conference champs because you won the tournament.
