I am not interested in giving Missouri and its fan base anything to make them strut about. Because it provides our program with increased visibility and I'm confident we'd beat them with some regularity. Again, playing Pitt in NYC in front of 1,000 fans is nice and all, but I'd much prefer to play MU in a game that generates considerable local buzz each year. If that means giving them an edge in the scheduling, so be it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be filled with half blue in CoMo. That’s what rivalry games are and that is what makes them so fun. when you watch Louisville and KY it’s half Blue half red. X va Dayton is half navy half red. The dislike for the opponent and the back and forth between fans is why rivalry games are cool.

We have a number of regional options that we can do a home and home with. There isn't a reason to concede anything to Mizzou. cheeseman and Quality Is Job 1 like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't a reason to concede anything to Mizzou. While the recruiting is currently on par with Mizzou, that could easily change. And I meant visibility from a fanbase perspective. We need to grow our fanbase and providing games that non-alumni fans want helps do that. HoosierPal likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChosenOne Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 2 hours ago, SShoe said: Mizzou plays at least one game (it's usually a decent one) in KC every year (satisfies their KC alumni). I'd think this would be a decent sell for them, particularly if we're still good. While I do think they would be interested in playing a game in KC every year, they certainly do not currently have that in place as far as I am aware. I think the last time they played in Kansas City was as part of that CBE Hall of Fame Classic a few years back. That would be an interesting way of doing it and would give me an excuse to get out to Kansas City (with the understanding that us playing there would be a one off thing).

I looked back at their schedule and they played there a few times prior to the CBE games, but it was not every year. SLU could probably ensure they get a guaranteed number of seats for SLU fans (2-3K) so it's not all black and gold. You may even get a few Jayhawkers who'd come to cheer against Mizzou.

Although Michael Porter's most healthy minutes in a Mizzou uniform came in Kansas City when they played KU in an exhibition game at Sprint Center. I think the last time they played a regular game in Kansas City was against Travis Ford and Oklahoma State that was a Cowboys win in OT. Isabell's biggest moment as a Tiger was hitting a 3 to send that one to OT. Maybe the declining interest in the Braggin' Rights game could lead to that changing into some sort of showcase type event in St. Louis that would include SLU/Mizzou/Illinois and a 4th somewhat local team.

brianstl Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Why does anyone care about playing Mizzou? Until we start winning and advancing in the tournament, it shouldn't be something SLU worries about. Unless that happens, SLU will be in position where the terms can be dictated to them. 3star_recruit likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Mizzou already playing a neutral court game with Illinois, it might be a hard sell to get Mizzou to come back to St. Louis twice in one year when they don't go to KC for one game.

Spoon-Balls Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 No articles about the Bills in the local paper this morning? I saw something about Mizery and the bottom feeding Illini program, but nothing about the local team that is currently having a potential tourney season. SMH.

billiken_roy Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 While i dont like it either, they are pretty consistent with an article and a preview on game day and a summary article the day after. Any more is unusual and unexpected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slu72 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Actually coverage seems decent this year. Ben Fred's articles have been like gravy. Stu doesn't do any in depth reporting just the pre and post game reports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
