cheesycow Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I hate when people say they're fans of both teams. Decide who you would root for if they played head to head and stick to that team. Fuok fence sitters. If Mizzou and SLU played, I'd root for Mizzou. I've never said otherwise. However, as this post reminds us, they don't. So what does it matter if I like both teams? I went to Mizzou, I grew up in St. Louis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheesycow Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Is that a selfie? If so, we don't want you in our fan base... It's not, but I've seen some serious uggos in just about every fanbase, if we're being honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufanskip Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I believe the cow showed some hospitality to some of our fans in Brooklyn. I'm good with him posting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbizzle09 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Wow. Mizzou, politics, and possible MVC talk. The more things change... Yup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonwich Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 We can be like Butler and show a high level of class when interacting with our adversaries. Or we can be like Methdale and consistently be jerks to dual fans and fans of other teams. I say let the cow moo, especially given the note the Skip posted about the high class he himself illustrated during the A-10 tourney.

Franchise_89 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 UMC fans feel they will beat on us every year like we were Kansas's UMC. Did you know they invented a Big12 North trophy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hosted him for the A-10 Tournament and he graciously bought me dinner and a ticket for the Butler game (at which I bought him a beer, gotta try to keep it at least a little even). Steve just gets away with being a fan of two teams (in the same conference, no less!) because he runs the board. Lucky jerk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just find it ironic that he's calling out SLU fans for their Mizzou obsession, when 98% of his 1,700+ posts on this board are in defense of Mizzou.

ACE Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Yeah but I'm supposed to have a Mizzou obsession. Cheesy, the shoes have correctly called you out. If you are a fan of both programs, fine. But we rarely see your inner Billiken. This is a BILLIKEN board. You have to accept that a good portion of the folks on here will not like or respect your team. The majority of your 1,700 posts have been devoted to defending the honor of Mizzou. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OkieBilliken Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Yeah but I'm supposed to have a Mizzou obsession. There is medication you can take for that. Has side effects but worth it in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just calling out the people who were trying to pretend that this board NEVER talks about Mizzou, when in fact 8 years ago I was able to read about as much about Mizzou here as I could on Tigerboard.

You can't have it both ways by saying you're a SLU fan and then spend all of your time on this board defending Mizzou. To,me, that just makes you a Mizzou fan with an obsession for what SLU fans think of Mizzou. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheesycow Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Your objective opinion... what did you think of our team after seeing them in person last weekend? I only saw the Butler game in person (although I did stream the championship game at work, don't tell my boss). My observations are pretty much the same as everyone's. Where the Billikens are good: Play incredibly solid defense (especially along the perimeter, really frustrated the hell out of Rotnei Clarke, who made a few circus shots early but was a non-factor during the run that sealed the game in the 2nd half). Don't make very many mistakes Don't get rattled by runs (experience) Really successful at getting open looks for outside shooters Where the Billikens could be better: They don't always finish strong on the inside. Evans manages to get his buckets, but there were a number of really soft attempts in the paint that I saw. Now granted a lot of this was the result of fouls but you can't always count on the stripes and even if the foul is called why not enjoy an and-one opportunity? They can (though not easily) get sped up. Both in the Butler game and the VCU game there were stretches where SLU was taken out of their preferred tempo, and it showed in a little bit of sloppiness on both ends of the floor. In both games these stretches weren't for very long, but against a team like Louisville I wonder if the billikens would be as successful at imposing their tempo on the game. I told both Steve and Taj that this year I think SLU would beat Mizzou handily at home or a neutral site, and a game in Columbia would probably be a tight Mizzou win (only because the tigers have been unbelievable at home this year). I had a great time with all the Billikens fans I met, and enjoyed the pre-game reception at Pacific Standard (which was really well attended). It was a lot of fun and I look forward to at least one more year of seeing the Bills in my borough, although I'm with you guys in hoping I get to go into Manhattan to watch them after that.

TheA_Bomb Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Isn't this the same guy that has a "Clinical Psychiatrist" girlfriend that weighed in with a professional opinion on our star PG after reading news clippings? Not sure how you could cheer for a team you thought was like that but I guess SPUMAC fans are used to those sorts of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
