Wildcat Fans Fuming At Big XII Commish

In a wild twist of bubble drama, Kevin Kietzman of WHB 810 AM in Kansas City is reporting that sources are telling him that the members of the selection committee called and spoke with Big XII Commissioner Kevin Weiberg last night. According to Kietzman, in the conversation they told Weiberg that only 4 Big XII teams would be getting bids and that Weiberg said they should pick Texas Tech over Kansas State. Kansas State fans are up in arms over this, and with Kietzman being the prime drive time radio host in Kansas City, you can bet this will be a huge topic on his show tomorrow.

Now, this is a bizarre story for a number of reasons. First off, Kietzman is a Kansas State alumni and an unabashed Wildcat fan, so he's far from a neutral reporter. Also, this would seem to be very strange behavior for the selection committee, who reportedly don't make their selections based on conference membership. Whatever the factual backing of this, it's going to be water cooler talk for several days in Kansas and you can bet the message board faithful who already intensely dislike Weiberg will keep the fans flamed for quite some time. There's a feeling the league office dislikes Huggins and is out to screw him in any way possible, and this won't help that perception.
