Via Yahoo News: Self wondering why Big 12 had a trophy for Texas but not Kansas

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) -- When Texas beat Oklahoma 72-48 Sunday afternoon to clinch a tie with Kansas for the Big 12 championship, the Longhorns were handed a handsome trophy to hoist in a midcourt celebration. The day before, when Kansas beat Kansas State 66-52 to clinch at least a tie with Texas, nobody from the Big 12 office was even at the game to congratulate them. The co-champions from Austin were pictured in newspapers and on television proudly displaying their Big 12 trophy. The co-champions from Lawrence merely got back on their bus and went home without so much as a handshake from anybody from the conference office.

A prediction: Kansas will beat Texas should the two teams meet again in the Big 12 or NCAA tournaments.
