Mission Impossible 2012; Schedule Released

Subsequent to their official exit from the Big East Conference, the West Virginia Mountaineers tied the knot with the disheveled Big 12 Conference, which allowed the A.D.s to make their 2012 schedules. Once the A.D.s submitted their proposed schedules, the Big 12 officials then reviewed and finalized those schedules after a long, long, drawn out period of quiescence. On Tuesday the officials finally released those 2012 football schedules to the public for geeks like me to salivate over. Yeah...except I haven't been salivating too much. After looking at all of the schedules, I can't tell you much, but I can tell you one thing: Kansas's is going to be a bear.

Signing Day 2012

Signing day always gets my heart going a little faster than usual. I can't quite put it in words, but there is something that just makes it feel like Christmas morning all over again. The day is especially fun when Kansas hauls in a nice handful of good looking recruits, and for the Jayhawks, based on that criteria, signing day 2012 was a success. Although it was a bit overshadowed by the Missouri signing of number 1 recruit, Dorial Green-Beckham (which loomed large over all of America, to be honest), Charlie Weis and company had another good day at the office, getting familiar names and even a few surprises to dot the line at the last minute.
