With all the constant re-alignment, who can keep track?
If I woke up this morning and you told me Texas Tech was now in the Big 10, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised.

I grew up 17 miles from the west Texas border and I swear I could see for
200 miles across that part. I know it's a big state but all the parts I have been in over the years have been completely flat.

I aggrea, but its a high flat!
Mount Sunflower, although not a true mountain, is the highest natural point in the U.S. state of Kansas. At 4,039 feet (1,231 m), it is 3,300 feet (1,010 m) above the state's topographic low point, which lies on the opposite side of the state. It is located between the communities of Kanorado and Weskan in Wallace County, less than half a mile (0.8 km) from the state border with Colorado
