Schasz Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Reply to a question on why Missouri does not play SLU in basketball. Perhaps it was because it was the typical SLU is not worthy to play them crapola that we have seen so many times before. I don't think Missouri has been very good since Martin took over there.

This season will make 10 years in a row with no NCAA wins. Dave Matter is a Mizzou fanboy. Billiken Rich likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeseman Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 This topic is like beating a dead horse. He manages to point out the two close states who do not play instate rivals. He neglects to mention the schools in other states who do play each other - cherry picking. I have no interest in playing Missouri and honestly am just tired of this old nonsense. I was out town for the Davidson loss but I doubt seriously that everybody was so understanding - his whining is unbecoming.

JettFlight5 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I wonder if Charleston Southern would play us instead. I know they enjoyed their last trip to Missouri. Schasz and Bay Area Billiken like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowry Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I’m shocked Mizzou doesn’t push for this game. It would be a great payday for both schools. Their athletic department is loosing money. You’d think they would want to make some. rgbilliken likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slu72 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Matters should look in the PD archives for all the articles in 2001 clamoring for this to become an annual game. At this point it's pretty much a dead issue; we'd like it to happen, and Mizzery hates the idea. Mizzery should make Maryville an annual game.

Brighton Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 And now the knuckleheads on tigerboard are talking about poaching Ford. Even if he does leave, it won’t be to CoMo. One of the most delusional fanbases in sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennis_w Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 It wasnt long ago that the tigerboard folks were saying cuonzo is the greatest and ford is a slimy coach they would want no part of. interesting what a few months can do. I think coach ford has the billikens on an upward trajectory that will be the envy of that school to the west Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch most Mizzou games, and their arena is consistently empty, especially for nonconference games. I imagine a lot of us would buy tickets for a game in CoMo.

cgeldmacher Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Matter's comparables are messed up. Arkansas not playing Arkansas State in football has no relevance to two basketball programs playing each other. As far as I can see, the State of Arkansas doesn't have another college basketball program similar to SLU (or Missouri State for that matter). Then he uses Kansas? Kansas? His logic makes sense for a program like Kansas to use when not playing a program like Wichita State. However, Mizzou is nowhere near KU. KU has no incentive to play Wichita State. If Mizzou played us and won, it would be considered one of the more quality wins on their resume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'd argue this isn't just a Mizzou problem. While I love the game, college hoops has a regular season problem, particularly with its non-conference schedules. There are just too many crappy games or games in half-empty stadiums. The more schools can schedule teams that generate increased local interest, the better. And while Mizzou fans can say they don't care, a game against SLU would be a sell-out in either gym. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
