I feel the next time there is a Big 12/SEC Challenge, either go with the Border War or Telephone Trophy

I don't really like to just have to say "I Told You..So" like the whole heartbreaking "We're from Mendota..So" Speech, but, I feel ESPN should at least consider the Border War (Kansas vs. Missouri) or the Telephone Trophy (Iowa State vs. Missouri) more so than the red meat that was thrown for Kansas at Kentucky.

What I do feel in a Siberia of an East Central Iowa Winter is the least we could do is think of some of these games better. West Virginia and Texas A and M is a rivalry only in passing, but yet having the rare Summer we'd get worked up over any kind of Texas-Texas A and M again would work.

TV Ratings on ABC or ESPN would come anyway, but, the inevitable rethinking of the ESPN on ABC Platform is overdue for Sports in General. There are better ways to think of some of these games, and you'd have to sell the gym in these games first. If we where to sell the gym on Arkansas at Baylor, I'd want to see it long before July 18th confirmed.

I am not the first one having to howl over the Leo Bottling of great rivalry and scrubbing Iowa State a chance to play at Vanderbilt gym, and than the scrubbing of why you'd have a better arena than gym in College Station but, there has to be a better look to these challenges or non-conference games after being beyond sick of having to ask "Would it be weird" to have Maryland vs. ACC in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge.
