worthington Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Respectfully, who cares what Mizzou fans "think" of SLU basketball... Strength and wisdom are not opposing values. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Anyone could say that about us SLU fans, too. It's good to see a little respect from them. Sure, it comes after a humbling year, but I'll never turn down any positive comments toward SLU basketball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billikenmetz Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Isn't Stokes in Prison? The NCAA should give us that game if Stokes is hammering big rocks into little rocks in Leavenworth. Him and his dred-lock hair. What a waste of human life. I'd put money on his mother being a crack addict and walking the streets trying to find a way to buy a vein to shoot up.

billikenmetz Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Pete, who cares what MU fans have to say. Hey, maybe we can borrow some money from Paige Laurie....we still don't have a name for the Generic Brand X Arena! The Miz-Zoo or whatever their student section is a bunch of SLU rejects anyway. What MU fans say or think should merit no response from Saint Louis alums and/or fans. They know we'd beat them anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 I didn't feel the love in that thread....besides who cares what Mizzery fans think...oops...I forgot they don't think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie_Gaedel Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I guess you really shouldn't care what anyone thinks about SLU, right? While I don't think they showed any love to the Billikens, they sure didn't trash the program. Sometimes you people like to think you're above everyone else amd act like Roy.

slu72 Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Well one thing's for sure...most, if not all of us, tower above Eddie Gaedel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinfootes Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I just wonder why there's such an obsession with mizzou around here. I guess with all of our conference hopping that people need to find rivalries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billiken Rich Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I guess you can't see why Louisville and Kentucy bother playing the games. How about Xavier vs Cincy? Do you know what rivals are? Are you that dense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie_Gaedel Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I would love to see SLU & Mizzou play on a regular basis, it could come close to the atomosphere of the Illini-Mizzou bragging rights game. And yes, most if not all people tower over Eddie Gaedel. Sheesh !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinfootes Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 so much for your pledge to avoid my posts. I can see what your word is worth...nothing...just like the rest of your sorry life you bozo. As far as the post goes, I'd love for SLU to play mizzou. I think mizzou is a big chicken#$%# for not playing SLU. However, for SLU fans to be all worked up about a rivalry is kind of strange since they've only played one another 3 times in the last 25 years. I'm more worried about the teams the aren't afraid to play SLU. XU and Cincy play EVERY year. Louisville and Kentucky play EVERY year. Are you too dense to understand the difference? YES YOU ARE!!!!!! Do you troll the mizzou board looking for info rich? Don't you think that's a bit odd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTIME Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 I dont understand why SLU and Mizzou have to be enemies. Missouri fans support both teams win or lose. There's a lot of bitterness towards Mizzou on this board and I dont really know why. Both schools have a lot of local flavor on their rosters and the competition between the schools if any, should be friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billiken Rich Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 And Missouri should befriend all those wonderful JayHawk fans......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACE Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 >I just wonder why there's such an obsession with mizzou >around here. I guess with all of our conference hopping >that people need to find rivalries. So you are lecturing SLU fans about a Mizzou obsession? What about all the Mizzou trolls who inhabit this board? There are more Mizzou fans who stir up stuff on this board than fans of any other program. Why no lecture for them? I see from your ratings the Mizlosers think very highly of you - positive ratings from VTime, Tigerdevil, Mizzouphan and Billsboys... very interesting.

Roy, I think what V means is that there are some basketball fans in the state of Missouri (probably particularly in St. Louis) who take some interest in both schools. I don't think he really means University of Missouri fans or alumni, in general. Everyone here should know that I root for the Billikens more than any other program, and Missouri is a close second, but there's no doubt that, in general, Missouri's program has considerably more prestige than SLU's, not withstanding the last few seasons. I understand why Missouri fans might tend to think their program is superior to SLU's; I also understand why SLU fans have a bit of an inferiority complex. Personally, I still dream of the day that my Tigers and my Billikens meet in a regional final, with the winner advancing to the Final Four (don't pinch me!) -- or, better yet, in a Final Four or National Championship matchup. And whichever school reaches one milestone first, let the other one prevail the next time. Yeah, it's a pipe dream, I know. Nevertheless, I would love it if, in my lifetime, each of my teams reaches a Final Four at least once. But the bottom line, in terms of comparisons, is that Missouri has been on the cusp of a Final Four twice in the last 13 years but SLU has never reached the Sweet Sixteen. Bragging is the nature of sports, so I don't let the condescension of Mizzou fans or fans of any other program bother me, because one day -- whether it's in a year, five years, or 50 years, the tables will turn, even if only briefly.

slu72 Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Correction, UL and KY only started a few years back maybe the last 10-15, for years Rupp and Hall didn't see how they could win with that game...win, they were supposed to, lose, disgrace. Another intra state game fans clamor for is Ohio State vs UC. Ain't gonna happen, again OSU sees it as a win is a no win. I'm pretty sure this is what Mizzery fears in playing us. They are the BIGGIE in Missouri, a game w/ SLU is an everything to lose affair. This despite the fact our last 3 games were all close, well attended, and am sure big $$$ makers. Shame on Missouri. I wouldn't expect Anderson to schedule us until he thinks the game is a virtual lock. A loss to us now would be a real embarassment even though they aren't any better and may be the lesser team. I think Q thought this in those 3 games against us he'd have his way. This is when he had the 3rd ranked team. He found out differently, and would never face us again. We should get Illinois every year...just to pee off the Tiger faithful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinfootes Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 If you find a post where I've said anything positive about mizzou, bring up the link. This is only about the 10th time we've been through this. How much would you like to bet? I guess Skip is a mizzou fan now, huh? Why is it that when mizzou fans like gorilla come on here I'm the only one to go after them? The only "mizzou" fans you ever go after are billiken fans...okay, I'll give you tigerdevil. If you really hate mizzou and love SLU, where are you when the fans of other schools come around? Why do you hide? Now if we want to bring up an interesting subject it would be your in-depth knowledge of all things Illini. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 i'll defend footes on this one. footes is a tiger hater like the majority of us here. the problem footes is that you become guilty by association since you side with the tiger loving group on so many other issues that have come up on the board that i guess a lot of the hardcore billiken fans then blur the lines.

slubaseball42 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I will admit it...it is the little brother syndrome that every small private school has over the large public school in their state. Everyone in Illinois is either jealous or hates Illinois that is from a small school because they get all the publicity. We SLU supporters enjoy our school for what it is worth (an outstanding academic school with sports programs that we wish were better). However, we are extremely jealous of Mizzou for their publicity and devoption to athletics, especially since they ran and hid from us after they sqeaked by on Stokes last second shot. Bottom line, it is no big deal...Mizzou grads will always be working for SLU grads any way!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
