I hate this reference to Ed Manning, Danny's dad. Do you realize that he had a nine year NBA-ABA career and was a solid contributor on 2 very good Carolina Cougars teams who finished those years a total of 40 games over .500? Incidentally, his coach those two years was none other than Larry Brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, the whole state is Mizzou country, definitely including St. Louis. You're going to see more and more of that for basketball now too. The traffic is going to worse on 70 on Saturdays this season with all the NCAA investigators heading to COMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glorydays2013 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I can understand fandom for mizzou with it being the only football program for hours for Missouri residents. I can also understand non slu grads being fans of a school they pay taxes for that also represents their state. That said, this next year can pull a lot of dissapointed mizzou fans to slu when mizzou fails to meet the expectations they have now. SLU has a much more solid future it seems now, where mizzou can crumble post Porter Jr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you don't hate Mizzou. Good thing. I'm kind of like you I guess. I don't hate SLU, but SLU fans are something else (at least as represented on this message board). Good luck on your future. Maybe the rumors about Gordon aren't true and you'll be okay. Or your conference won't blow up. Or Ford won't have one good year and bail.

At least MPS was coaching college basketball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billiken Rich Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Wow MU. I used to appreciate sparring with you from time to time but it's kind of pathetic of you to show up and start talking trash at this point. Get a great recruit to renege on a commitment and a decent coach and then come here and talk trash? Really? MU has been a dumpster fire for years and hasn't even stopped smoking and you're talking smack..... Just sad..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe by posting here enough you'll convince yourself Mizzou fans still give half a $hit about basketball. A month ago the average Mizzou alum in StL didn't even realize b-ball survived the move to the SEC. Now KC on the other hand is full of b-ball fans. Trouble is the vast majority wear blue and red.

AnkielBreakers Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Yep. Mizzou basketball did not survive the move to the SEC. Without Kansas as a rival, it just is not as much fun. Coupled with the fact that Mizzou has been an NCAA scandal magnet, no one is interested. I used to be a casual Mizzou fan , but not really any more. Things can change. We will see.
