thetorch Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 550 rarely talks hoops. Nice to hear Karraker talking us up. And nice to see it p*ssed off some SPUMAC fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 They should change their mascot to an Ostrich. They all have their heads in the sand, which is the nice way to say "it's really up their a**." The few times I've been over to la-la board land it is amazing to see the denial Mi$$ery fans are in. Q-tip has five NCAA wins...big frigging deal with the talent he's had (bought) he should have had twice as many. They say, big time coaches bring in big time talent, their knock on UB. Hellooooo,anybody home, Ricky Clemons and Randy Pulley are big time talents? How's that big time talent Conley performing? How'd all that high price talent do against, need I say, Belmont Abbey? Get a friggin grip Mizzery lovers; you've got a dirty program, a lousy coach, and about as much chance to make the dance as, need I say, Belmont Abbey.

Billiken Rich Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Tiger board is a joke. You've got a broad consenus there the the Tigers are going to go 9-3 and get a good seed in the dance to finish the year. These guys are hilarious. They beat Nebraska and the sky is the limit once more. One game over .500 Whew! The NCAA is still digging but who cares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schasz Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 What those goobers think. For the record, they did not lose to Belmont Abbey as I am pretty sure Belmont Abbey is a Catholic school in NC, and I am sure that they are not D-1. No, SPUMAC actually lost to Belmont in Nashville, TN which I believe is a Baptist college (I am sure Nashville Billiken can correct me if I am wrong). By the way, I think that one of Belmont Abbey's coaches many years ago was non other than Al McGuire, prior to his Marquette days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUFAN2000 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Yes, and SLU lost to West Virginia. I'd say we worry about SLU making the tourney before we criticize anybody else for either not making it or having a bad seed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billiken Rich Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 beaten by the "little sisters of the poor" It's called exaggeration. Did you attend Belmount Abby? I love seeing the Tiger's suffer especially when we've got a better record than they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUFAN2000 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 but a worse rpi. We didn't play anybody below 300 in rpi. But don't let that bother you, according to karraker you're 2 wins away from a top seed in the tourney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billiken Rich Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Ill take a road loss to West Virginia to a home loss against Belmont anyday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUFAN2000 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I'll take a road win over Oklahoma over a road win over dayton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billiken Rich Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 at a game over .500. Lets talk about your great road wins this year........um.....hmmmm? How about wins against the the top 20..........? Top Ten.......? Hmmmmmm. Call me in March Moofan. (if you arent' on probation that is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUFAN2000 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I believe our road win over oklahoma fills both "good road win" and "top 20 team." Thanks though. We have the 10th ranked schedule in the country (depending on where you look) and you guys have the 150th or so (also depending on where you look.)

Billiken Rich Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I'll never forgive them! However for a game over .500 you're awfully cocky. You've got an early season collapse hole to dig out of. We've got an rpi hole to dig out of. While I'd love to meet the Tigers in the dance, I don't know that it's a rational hope for either team this year. Karracker is doiing a bunch of work for SLU and Charter now but he never seemed to like us before he was on the payroll. I'll agree with you that he's an idiot.

MUFAN2000 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I think- right now- that mizzou and SLU have roughly the same chance of making the tourney. for me, I think they both have a reasonably good chance at making it, because I like to be optimistic about my hometown teams. I think SLU will be the 4th team from conference USA, and Mizzou can pull off 4th or 5th from the big 12, especially the way we've been playing of late.

Billiken Rich Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 That would be slightly better than the Bills making it and the Tigers staying in Columbia but only slightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUFAN2000 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Like I said- I think we'll both be there. I'd love to say that we'd get to play eachother, but I feel like it'd have to be a first round game, because neither of us would get a great seed, and neither of us are particularly excellent away from home.

NashvilleBilliken Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Losing to Belmont and losing to West Virginia are 2 TOTALLY different scenarios. West Virginia is a respected program who just a couple years ago was very close to hiring one of the most well known coaches in college athletics - Bob Huggins. Belmont could not hire the best known coach in Pee Wee league. It is a small Baptist school with barely any sports program. Fantasitic scholastics, but sports are an afterthought. Comparing our loss at WVA to a loss at home to Belmont is a silly thing to do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StLouBlue Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Dayton RPI 39, non-conference game. Oklahoma RPI 51, conference game. I don't know why you would take the Oklahoma game over Dayton. Also that Oklahoma team is falling fast, 1-4 in last 5 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUFAN2000 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 So you're as good as the coaches you're able to hire? I suppose Texas Tech is the best team in the big 12 then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUFAN2000 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Oklahoma was ranked 13th when we beat them at their court. Granted, they were on a slide, but that doesn't mean it was a guaranteed win, or a softy. Should you guys get bonus credit for losing to g-tech because they were in the midst of a winning streak?

cheeseman Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 They simply do not like it when the shoe is on the other foot. What Mizzou needs to start understanding that in most other places the hometown team gets top billing and all that is happening now is that SLU is finally starting to get treatment like that - I am not saying MU should be shunned but SLU should be talked about first and they all the others. RK may have gone overboard but I would rather have that happen than us keep playing our butts off and get little or no acknowledgement.

MUFAN2000 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 It's a different animal in college sports. I wouldn't be shocked to see that ohio state was the first thing on the news in cleveland or cincinatti, perhaps even dayton. I wouldn't be surprised to see Texas talked about first in Dallas or in Houston. The same thing goes for Mizzou- there are a large number of MU grads in St. Louis, and traditionally the tigers have had more success in collegiate athletics (besides soccer, but soccer is so ridiculously underrated in st. louis media that it's not worth discussing here), so it makes sense that often times they get the top billing. I can understand not wanting to hear about the chiefs or bears in st. louis before the rams, but with college sports it's entirely different. Most people in St. Louis probably wanted to hear about the Tigers #5 seed in the tourney over the billikens dissapointing end to a marvelous run. It depends on what's a "hot story" at the moment.

slufanskip Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 And right now SLU is the hot story ... if we are talking about positive articles. If we are speaking of negatives ... SPUMAC is the hot story Official Billikens.com sponsor of H. Waldman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUFAN2000 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Not anymore. There's only so much you can say before the verdict comes down, and it's pretty much all been said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
