ACE Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Great, another thread where a Mizzou fan is seeking praise and admiration about his team from SLU fans and becoming frustrated when he doesn't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smac15 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 A win over syracuse is impressive. Georgetown, impressive. Villanova, West Virginia, pitt- all impressive. Would you be impressed if they had beaten depaul? no that is true but with the competition that providence plays night in and night out, and being able to stay somewhat competitive with the big boys, you can't discredit them as a bad team.

billiken_roy Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 cheesy is this lashing out about the fact that the billikens have beaten 3 current top 35 teams (richmond, dayton and rhode island) and the tigers have only beaten 2 (k-state and texas)? it's ok. no one is denying the tigers are higher ranked than the billikens right now. you dont have to panic yet. just because the billikens beat the tigers slightly better twin rhode island, no one is going to figure out the billikens are actually better this year yet. just make sure the tigers keep ducking the billikens in the non-conference season and they might be able to hold off the comparison by the casual fans for another year.

smac15 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Providence is 12-14, and Boston College is 12-13. BCS Conference =/= quality. Just look at the pac 10. ya well when you play in the best league against the best teams in the country that is boud to happen. but i would be willing to bet that if providence were in the a10 they would be near the top.

(i am not going to be the one to tell this smac guy that there are a bunch of other teams in the a-10. he is very content right now with providence finishing third second. let him go) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheesycow Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Where has cheesy mentioned Mizzou in this thread? Turn your anti-Mizzou radar off every now and then.

smac15 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 i impressed. anyone else impressed. ah I see how it is man. You can take shots at people but can't handle them yourself.

ACE Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 It's not about comparing them to rhode island, it's about your comments on the offense- they sound a lot like the talking heads on ESPN's thoughts about it, but the characterization of the offense as being as wild and crazy as the defense isn't correct. Mizzou actually runs a fairly "heady" offense which is centered on ball movement and open looks and easy buckets- not "jacking up shots without regard for the clock." And Rhode Island is not one of the top 20-30 teams in the country. Thicks, here's one example where cheesy mentions Mizzou and in another, he references Arthur Johnson. It looks like you are the one with a little radar problem... and another thing... SPUMAC! He's going to great lengths to minimize the SLU victory over URI. If you are ok with that, fine, but I thought this was BILLIKENS.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta save face in front of your posse or crew or whatever man. i take a lot of shots on this board. probably more than anyone. i just thought it was funny that as an anonomous poster with the moniker "smac15" you claim to be some sort of ex a-10 athlete and thus that settles it. hell i could say i am an ex astronaut and went to the moon so i know it is made of cheese. that doesnt mean it is true.

If you are ok with that, fine, but I thought this was BILLIKENS.com I'm not trying to minimize anything. Roy made a comment comparing Rhode Island's offense to Mizzou's, but his comparison was false in my view. I said as much. Roy then responded by trashing Mizzou in comparison with Rhode Island, saying all of the tigers starters would be bench players. He also said that Arthur Johnson would make a decent bench option for the Billikens many years ago. I said Rhode Island is overrated. That doesn't take anything away from SLU- it's a great win and SLU is doing really well. I hope they continue to do great, and I look forward to seeing them in the NCAA tournament next year and the year after (I'd love to see them in this year but that's somewhat of a longshot right now).

I think your assessment is slightly off- I'd rank it thusly: 1. Metz 2. Postcard 3. Me . . . . . 4. Billiken Roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billiken_roy Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 ace i dont think cheesy wants to minimize our win. he doesnt like that i compared rhode island to the tigers style of play and is struggling with the fact rhode island is the higher ranked team of the two programs and has better players.

Quality Is Job 1 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Thicks, here's one example where cheesy mentions Mizzou and in another, he references Arthur Johnson. It looks like you are the one with a little radar problem... and another thing... SPUMAC!The highlighted portion says a lot about your maturity level. Yes, cheesy mentioned Mizzou — in response to Roy's comparison. A fair mention, I think. So rather than jumping on cheesy, jump on Roy. Considering that Missouri (along with Illinois) is considered one of St. Louis's teams and receives ample coverage in the St. Louis media, all local SLU fans are inundated with exposure to Missouri, so it may be severe to think that they'd never be mentioned or discussed here. Hey, in Tom's blog today he writes about how he won't be on the Billikens' trip to UMass but will be in Lincoln, Nebraska, covering the Mizzou game for the Post-Dispatch.

Steve, e-mail me the filter and I'll edit it to filter out just the offensive phrases. (Really, for me, it's just the F-word and maybe a few others. If anyone else has words they'd like NOT to see, shoot me a PM.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
