I missed a few minutes of the Beebe interview and after I heard Kietzman going on about all the things Beebe allegedly said I started asking myself if the interview actually started at 4:30 instead of 5:00 because there was no way Beebe could have said all those things in such a short time frame as what I’d missed. There’s no question that Kietzman has been drinking his own Kool-Aid.
I did, however, find Beebe’s comments about seeing who “is on the plane” to be interesting. My guess is that MU and NU will both be delighted to tell Beebe to fuck off if he demands an answer from them before they’re ready to give one. What is the Big XII gonna do? Kick MU and Nebraska out of the league? No, I’m afraid that Beebe has to sit still while these two teams figure their shit out.
As for all the blather about how many other teams would love to join this conference, I have no doubt it’s true. But I’m not sure I am in love with the idea of TCU joining up as a full member and I’ll believe that Arkansas, Memphis and Louisville are joining us when I actually see it happening. This might be Kietzman’s biggest pile of made-up shit ever.

Dan Beebe might as well order the 5 piece Samsonite Douchebaggage set. He’s the commissioner of the BIG XII in much the same way Paulie Walnuts ran the “family” on The Sopranos. I’m sure he’s already been made the offer he can’t refuse. He may very well be a solution without a problem by 2012. Unless your name is Ray Benson it’s not good to be Asleep at the Wheel in Texas.
I’m beginning to think KK may be the abandoned love child of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. His ability to alter reality is similar to theirs and ranks right up theirs. I would not be surprised to learn that he’s a Scientologist.
Jack Harry makes Billy Carter look like Winston Churchill. He’s long gone and heavily dosing on the KK Kool-Aid.
I keep having this awful nightmare that Jack, Danny and Frank are snowballing KK’s jizz into a huge lugey that they feed back to KK to make him stronger. And then Soren enters the dream with these huge ben-wa-roethlisberger balls……
GDSailor
Not to go all political, but I would not be surprised, in fact I would expect that KK is a loyal Rush type, and post-2000 GOP man. And being in radio and media, he follows the trend of who he listens to, thus fabrication is only a slight, and if yo repeat it enough, or truly believe it, well then it must be true.
Glow1
The problem I have with the interview is that it took KK five full minutes to ask Beebe any question related to his exclusive report earlier this week. If I’m confident in my source, that’s the first thing I am asking Beebe.
DonkeyPunch
Prick Wright knew Beebe was coming on KK’s show. How did he respond? by talking NBA all freakin’ afternoon.
Sad day for the listeners as we all lost. Luckily/Unluckily the first wave of storms was rolling through NKC @ 5:00 so my concentration was actually on the road dealing with idiot Missery drivers instead of listening to the KK or NBA talk
jojo
wtf is kk talking about…
Memphis? ever been there…hardly a major
college…great for basektball payoffs and
murders and crime…but hardly fits into
the big 12.
arkansas? suweee….the dumbest state in the
nation. Ever been there…beautiful girls…
not in the class of texas schools.
Lousivile…omg….now this is a travesty.
city college big on basketball but i don’t
think they are even in the class of iowa
state….
What does the big 12 get….nothing….the
scraps of the heap. 3 schools that have a
criminal record as long as bill selfs arm.
NCAA violations? recruiting hacks? comeon
if bill self hears kk say this he’d probably
sh*t a brick.
Also…to all those who defied kk on this
story you are losers including you hall.
KK had the story of the year in the midwest.
I heard the interview and this bebe guy mentioned
rugby. He proably took too many blows to the
head during the games cause this guy ain’t
thinking right.
And ku and ksu fans “galvanized” for what?
This is an economic decision for mu and nu.
It’s not personal. It’s business. It’s money.
So I look forward to a “lovefest” between
frank “soprano” martin and bill”nice guy”
self.
Come on people…mu and nu want out…its
worth millions of extra dollars…lou the
conman can’t figure out what to do.
And I’m sure there are many many shcools
screaming to get into the big 12…heres
a list…
1. cleveland chiropractic college
2. avila
3. umkc
3. College of the plains
4. DeVry
5. Colorado Technical institute
6. Vatterot college
with these teams added I’m sure ku will win
something in football finally…maybe win the
north division.
BYE BYE LITTLE 9…SEE YA LATER.
dp
Didn’t hear it, but if he said Arkansas, Memphis and Louisville will make the Big XII stronger than it’s ever been he needs to pulled off the air and locked up somewhere.
I talked to a friend of mine from Oklahoma and asked him if there’s a lot of talk about MU and NU defecting to the Big 10…he said there’s talk on sports radio about it, but nobody in the South really gives a sh-t about MU, NU or the North in general really. I thought that was interesting, it’s such a huge ‘story’ (or non-story) here in the North and they could give sh-t less in the South.
jojo
How did this bebe bobble head get to be the
head of big 12? He’s acomplete buffoon.
Maybe he sees his empire crumbling but this
guy is just a complete nutjob.
He’s gotta be on something…because his
answers were so far off base from what
KK asked that I wondered if maybe he needed
a hearing aid.
SORRY GUYS…KK SCORES BIG. AND I MEAN REALLY
BIG. HE IS NOW THE KING AND I DOUBT ANY
ONE CAN TAKE HIS PLACE.
HE SHOWED HALL AND THE REST OF YOU DENIERS
THAT HE WAS RIGHT.
WAY TO GO KK…YOU ARE THE CHAMP AND WITH THIS
STORY YOU PROVED IT.
NOW…610…GO AWAY AND PLAY IN YOUR SANDBOX.
jojo
DONKEY PUNCH…hope you made it home safely
to your trailer in raytown. Did the double
wide get any hail damage? Probably cleaned
up your front yard and moved all the old
cars and appliances down the street to the
next trailer court.
Ptolemy
So, while KK had everybody’s attention yesterday, what was Nick talking about on 610?
jojo
Noone in the south give a sh*t about the
big 12 north.
And noone outside of kansas city area gives
a sh*t about ku basektball.
And noone outside kansas and missouri cares
about the “border war”.
and noone outside of 610 cares about
the lineup of goofy no talent announcers.
And noone cares about the royals.
And noone cares about the world cup.
And noone cares about the t bones.
so we live in our own little world of
sports arguing among ourselves about our own
little teams while the rest of the world
gets bored with what losers we have in this
area.
wow…is anybody listening?
Old Man Kissel
810 scoops 610 once again!
KK made headlines while Hack Wright talks NBA.
Collective Noses
I listened to this entire interview. It was the worst piece of self-indulgant douchbaggery that I’ve heard in a long time. The whole piece was a fraud and KK’s continual sucking of Beebe’s nut sack was sickening. My favorite part was when KK told Beebe he was his biggest fan. Really KK?? When have you ever said anything positive about the Big 12 leadership. Only after wiping nut sack dribble from his chin did he all of a sudden become ‘his biggest fan’. It was horrible and Greg’s right, KK’s interpretation of what was said was grossly inaccurate at best.
DonkeyPunch
Anybody else have major issues with 810s server? Their internet radio link has been garbage for upward of 3 weeks now
Oh and JOJO, nice try on the Raytown blast.
Omaha
dp, the fact that no one in the south gives a shit about this supposed story is one of things that lends a bit of credence to it. When the Big 8 decided to take in the remnants of the SW conference we were told it was an expanded Big 8. What we got was a remade SouthWest. I remember Dr. Tom continually voting no, saying don’t do it. I would not be surprised to see Nebraska look elsewhere, if a spot is available. You’ll have to ask JoJo about Mizzou.
jojo
updateL
Omaha…mu is looking elsewhere. And from the
interview bobo the clown commissioner made
references to mu and how he had a lot of ties
to mu.
Well then bobo…why did you treat mu and
the school like sh*t?
We’re looking elsewhere because bobo the
commissioner is a buthead.
And guys…don’t take this personally…its
a business decision to leave the midwest
mentality of the kansas/iowa/ok/ schools
behind. We have to move on. We need a change
and we can use the extra 40 million bucks.
Dr. Tom and Forsee and Nixon are on it.
So don’t take it like your best friend
is leaving…we’re moving to greener pastures
where we can join a pretigious/highly rated
conference and make a lot of extra cash.
Its about money…itsnot that we don’
t enjoy the ass whoppingsw we put on ku in
football in 2010…its about money.
Also…heard that theku-mu games in football
would be in jeopardy which makes me cry because
theres gonna be a lot of kick ass of ku by
mu for the next 5 years while uncle tom turner
tries to adjust to the big time.
It’s okay….
as for hall…and the rest of you deniers and
haters…give kk credit for one of the biiggest
stories so far this year in the midwest.
It’s huge and KK deserves all thecredit.
As for hall…he’ll try to chop down kk but
truth is hall is still writing for hearne
and kk is on the national scene now with big
time exposure.
Everone needs to take the time to acknowledge
that kk is the real thing…top notch
sports talk guy now a major national player.
As much as you haters dislike this guy he did
pull off a huge huge story nationally that
is far beyond anything any other sports
guy in this town has done in 30 years.
great job kk….
MandDShagger
I was in Dallas for two days this week and NOBODY cares about about the North schools much less MU and KU. Whatever happens the Texas and Oklahoma schools will be just fine. They have plenty of money and Dan Beebe will do whatever they tell him to do.
MrOlathe
JoJO….KK didn’t really break any new news did he? Didn’t we already know that the Big 10 had MU on their list and a good possibility that they had NE on their list too? That’s no scoop.

Lets see a choice between the NBA playoffs which is actually happening. Or listening to a non story about what may happen someday. DUH. Give me the NBA with stories about Lebron and his elbow, the Celtics making one last charge, conflict on the Lakers can they repeat?, and this isn’t your mother’s Suns which was all offense and no defense.
If you have a choice between meeting Santa Clause or Megan Fox you would choose? Same choice here. The real stories or the fake stories. Only an Old Man who has no sense like Kissell would choose the KK B.S. fake story.
“Today on 610. MARS considering eliminating a color from M&M’s. Is it yellow? Maybe red is in trouble? My anonymous sources reveal which color is in trouble. Kevin Keitzman and his exclusive reports from 4-6 on 610.”
K. Keitzman
“Danny I’m telling you right now.” “You can take this to the bank.” “Trey Hillman will lose his job some day.” “Folks, we break news here.” “I’ve talked to my sources.” “I can say with a hundred per sent assurance.” “Within the next month….you are looking at rain in this region.” “That’s it.” “Why we are the number one station powered by fans.”
nick
I’m no fan of Kietzman. The guy literally makes me crazy when I listen to him too long.
But there’s a reason he’s #1 and Nick Wright has ZERO chance of even coming close.
If there’s a big story or big rumors on the local scene, Between the Lines is where I tune in. KK is SUPER ANNOYING the way he exaggerates and spins stories and then pats he and his station on the back. But despite that, he’s almost ALWAYS got his finger on the pulse of the average KC sports fan. He gets it.
I was STUNNED when I’d occassionally flip over to Nick Wright and he’d be debating if Lebron is worthy to be put on Jordan or Magic’s level…..and this was in the 5:00 hour.
I thought the KK interview of Beebe was GREAT because we could hear that Beebe sounded a little pissed off. KU and K-State and Big 12 fans like to hear that. We haven’t heard that ever from Beebe. It DID seem like he wasn’t happy that the Delaney and/or a close Delaney associate was making pitches to Big 12 members. Sounds to me Beebe wants to make the Big 12 better than it’s ever been.
Cliffy
Beebe just doesn’t sound very smart. He is a lap dog. Doesn’t surprise me though that he impresses a Kansan like nick.
Gavin
I was also pleased to hear Beebe sound a little pissed off yesterday. The problem is that he has been a Texas lapdog for so long that he thought as long as the Longhorns were happy, everyone was happy and nothing bad could ever happen. The time to be dealing with this is not now or next month, the time was six months ago when the Big Ten said it was going to expand in the first place. Shit, even jojo was talking about Mizzou to the Big 10 so it can’t have been news to Beebe. Why wasn’t he trying to shore up Mizzou and Nebraska at that time? Why wasn’t HE the one trying to expand and make the Big XII an element of the changing face of college sports generally and college football specifically? He said yesterday on Kietzman’s program that he had considered his legacy to the Big XII but he sure doesn’t look like he was thinking of the future in any way.
I’ve heard the criticism that Beebe has been too reactive and not at all proactive in this whole thing, but I think that’s only half right. Near as I can tell (which, I will admit, stems from not being a part of any of this), he hasn’t been all that reactive until the last week or so. His whole strategy appears to have been to do nothing. I’m not saying Mizzou and, to a lesser extent, Nebraska, don’t have legitimate grievances, but maybe the time to address those grievances was a long time ago? It might not have solved everything related to an unequal distribution of revenue, but why couldn’t the league force its bowl partners to agree to select bowl teams based on their ranking in terms of how they finished? Would Mizzou feel less put upon at that point? I dunno, but Beebe has been a cheerleader for an unfair conference for his entire tenure and this is the natural result of his actions.
I’m kinda pissed at Kietzman for the tongue bath he gave Beebe yesterday when he should have been asking “what steps did the league take late last year when it became apparent that Mizzou was at least going to be considered a target for Big Ten expansion?” Not that Beebe would have answered honestly, but at least it would show what the league has or hasn’t done to try and hold this coalition together

K.K. has his pulse on the sports fan???? U got to be kidding. K.K. is number one for one simple reason. The same reason Don was for so many years. Their wasn’t a better alternate.
Can Nick provide that? I don’t know. But yes if I was a programmer I could see many areas where i could provide things that weren’t currently being offered. Including coverage of national sports, local sports, NBA, girl sports etc. You could either make a new way or find a niche.
I personally would rather here about Lebron compared to Koby then another story about how the Royals suck. Yes they suck. I got it. I would rather here about the NBA then MU may move. Yeah right….. K.K. reports are fantasys often.
In regards to Nick. Bottom line is this. He went from nights to mornings to afternoons. He must be doing something right.
Dexter Morgan
The jokes just keep flying out of the 810 studio from Keitzman. GH, I emailed my buddy at Union Broadcasting about the interview this morning and the comments afterward. His response back: “what a joke. can’t wait for this to blow up on him.”

The big 12 has always treated nu and mu like
sh*t. Its not just the disparity of money..its
been a number of things including get this…
TOM OSBORNES CONCERN ABOUT ACADEMICS FOR
ATHLETES IN THE LEAGUE.
But bobo the commissioner did nothing. Obviously
MU felt as if the bobo should have been the
keeper of thier bcs bowl bid…but ku fans are
proud that their soon to be former ad lou
slimmy guy purkins bought his way into the
orange bowl. Okay thats over…but bobo never
did a thing to help the situation.
Dr. Tom has hated this guy from day one.
He’s slighted nu when their program was down
for a few years then never gave the huskers the
respect every school should have been given.
When the money flooded to the south…mu and
nu complained but nothing happened.
when kc lost those tournament championships
it was va slap to not only mu…but also
ku.
Bobo has kissed texas ass long enough.
I imagine if he walks in with a fair compensation plan that pays all the schools
equally he might keep his job.
Bobo is an idiot. We saw it on kk’s show
yesterday.
Now mu and nu have the chance to hit the
lottery with extra millions.
They’re headed for the door.
And i hate to bring it up but mu has made
numersous complaints to the big 12 about
officiating/recruiting/etc./ that werevnever
even taken up by the big 12.
But forget all that for now.
MU is being offered big money andprestige to
move. When forsee/nixon and alden walk into
the room with bobo they should say this..
‘WE’RE NOT ON THE PLANE WITH YOU CLOWNS…
WE’RE TAKING THE SUPERSONIC JET TO THE BIG
10 AND YOU CAN KISS OUR BLACK AND GOLD ASS!:”
tREAT people like sh*t and you lose in the end.
treat people like humans and address their
concernsand you can be successful.
BYE BYE BOBO….YOU WORTHLESS CLOWN.

Shocking that Greg Hall writes a negative story about KK. Let’s talk more about College Radio 610 KCSP. Does this Shan Sherriff have someone permanently holding his nose while he talks? I like how he pretends that he’s lived here for a long time too..610 is minor league just admit Greg and no they aren’t going to hire you.

Whatever happens, Kansas City is DEAD as a College Sports Hub. I believe Missouri and Nebraska are leaving for the Big Ten and this city has seen it’s last sports championship. Yes, it’s over, book it. Kansas City continues its long descent into irrelevance.
I’m a KU fan, but KU better start looking out for its interests, or its getting LEFT BEHIND also. KU, K-State and Iowa State are in for rough times in college athletics.

This is why KK is #1. I had given up on him. I thought he was getting lazy. The dude is passionate. Sometimes I think he would do that job for free.
I tried listening to Wright…He just wastes air time. He has no point, and is ill prepared.
The problem Wright has is that Kietzman’s listeners have jobs and disposable incomes that advertisers love.
Wright’s caller’s sound like they haven’t been to work in four years.
Bluestrike
I stopped listening to KK make up things two years ago, and I’ve not had one single day I’ve felt I was missing a thing…
MrOlathe
Beebes defense of the unequal distribution is that is the agreement that was signed….15 years ago. KK could have followed up with the fact that people/companies tear up contracts and rewrite them ALL THE TIME!
t.hillman
I listen to Wright and i have a job so your theory is wrong…..ah. What? OH….. Scratch that.
Superfreq
As far as KK’s reporting goes, it’s easy to throw crap at the walls and see what sticks when you’re part owner at the radio station you broadcast from.
Go ahead and call him on stuff he completely whiffs and get hung up on. Unfortunately, both sports radio station are crap and that is why I listen to Bill Simmons podcast in the car.
It’s still funny to read your work Greg, and see people defend KK and his antics.
Kevin used to be a reporter, now he’s just in the entertainment industry. Although with a cooking show, the racin’ boys, his golf game, etc.. That’s some boring ass entertainment.
