Quality Is Job 1 Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 These would probably be better for the bands of the teams Missouri plays on the road. Hey, I'm sure the Gonzaga (Mizzou's next opponent) band would be interested (one of their student pep group members posted on a Kansas board asking for dirt on Missouri -- yikes, there's a lot of fodder!).

Lobo Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 how about Waterloo by Stonewall Jackson. I could see the band having fun with that song and easy lyric changes to taunt opposing teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billiken_roy Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 exactly, since pretty q refuses to play us, our band has no opportunity to use the fine suggested material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUFAN2000 Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Listen, I would love to see a SLU/MU matchup, but it's not really beneficial for Mizzou. SLU is far too good to be a warmup game, but not really high enough up the totem pole to be helpful for SOS or RPI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 let's see where slu and indiana both end up the season rpi wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 p.s. after last year, you would think that if the rpi issue was the only thing, quin would have seen that slu isnt a bad game. this whole thing comes down to slu gaining on missouri in the home state.

MUFAN2000 Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 it's one of those games where we have relatively little to gain, and a lot to lose. It would be a "key loss" if we were a bubble team, but it wouldn't be a "key win." Believe me, I'd love to go to the SLU/MU matchup with steve, it would be one of the best games i'd ever see.

slu72 Posted December 12, 2003 Author Share Posted December 12, 2003 Lynard Skynard's "Oh that smell" MU 2000 I would think the number 3 team in the country would be afraid of no one! But every dog has his day. In about five years after you are resurrected from the death penalty, you'll be knocking on our door. Hopefully we say, "Nah, get your RPI up there with Savannah State and we'll talk." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUFAN2000 Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Did YOU watch us play coppin state? We've been having troubles, and any team can beat any other team in the nation at any point. SLU almost beat arizona, but I suppose by your logic the top 10 should be fearless. SLU is a good team, they just have a lot more to gain from a matchup with MU.

Tonka Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 It just goes to show you the kind of program Missouri runs. It would be different if all the MU fans didn't bag on SLU and talk about our lack of recruiting, lack of talent, etc. It looks pretty foolish to bag on a team and then be scared to play them. That is what it comes down to - fear! It would be good for the state, great for the fans, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUFAN2000 Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 It's not so much fear so much as it is more to lose than to gain. Why would Mizzou be afraid to play SLU but still put non-conference games against Gonzaga, Syracuse, and at Indiana? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonka Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Is it not correct to say there's fear of losing more than gaining? Because that is fear. Unfortunately, most states and regions try and take on their regional rivalries as SLU does with SIU and SMS. I still don't see why based on just that, they won't play SLU. And I know your stance and how you disagree with this, but I haven't met many die hard Mizzou fans who wouldn't hesitate to bag on SLU and thump their chest as the superior program. I just don't understand how they can do that and then not play us regularly. Also, look at the records when the two teams play each other. Not as superior as MU thinks. Also, as I have said before, it amazes me how blind MU fans are when it comes to opinions of MU nationally. People do not see them as the powerhouse they see themselves as.

MUFAN2000 Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 By that logic they might as well take on SMS and SEMO too, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonka Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Only if you classify them in the same category as SLU. Fact of the matter is, MU's biggest following is in St. Louis according to what I have read in regards to population and number of fans and alum. I highly doubt you could say that about Cape or Springfield. You could make an argument for that though. SMS is definitely a comparative team to a lot of what MU plays in their non-conference. So, why not them too. SEMO is all together different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SluSignGuy Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 It would be the only game I would travel home for I think. GW may give it a run, but I doubt it. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 if semo and sms also have better rpi's than indiana or iowa by year's end then yes, they should have also played them. your argument is that this is a no win game for missouri. i am telling you that missouri will play on the road against teams this year with worse rpi's than slu. so it isnt a matter this is a game that cant help missouri when in reality they are agreeing to play teams that are worse for the rpi on the road than what slu represents.

MUFAN2000 Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 But the teams we are playing with a lower rpi than SLU are mostly warmup games. Like I said, SLU is better than a warmup game, but they're not a bigtime game ala Gonzaga or Syracuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 i am telling you that slu is going to have a better rpi than either indiana or iowa by year end. so why couldnt slu play either of those games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
