Looks like Lunardi finally figured out
that teams from the same conference can’t play each other in the first two rounds.

Memphis in March

Too bad the "Filthy Diablo" was discontinued
I don’t think a more heavenly sandwich could have been described to me.

They probably got sued...
…for making people morbidly obese with a sandwich that was literally too perfect to pass up.
That said, if you’re on Beale Street, you should go to Dyer’s anyway. The 80-year old vat of grease makes the best burgers in the history of history.

There used to be a bar in Fayette called Mac's
that made the best burgers in the history of history…I’ve yet to find one that damn good.
Five Guys burgers & fries
FTW

Seconded.
Although I think the burgers are far better than the fries…

though I do find irony
that I’m watching a soccer game with a team named “Tigres”, which is, of course Spanish for Tigers
Good stuff to keep you occupied for the next seven minutes:

It's going to be in the 50's here over the weekend

Any votes for Cheese Cat as the official “FAIL” of Rock M Nation?

Whoa....
Nothing like a 12-foot crazy floater from DeMarre.
Thank God he got it back and finished.

It was like he thought he was passing it to M-Law...
…until the very last second.
And Leo follows it up with an awkward, waist-high finger roll the next time down the court…

our first big break of the game:

What have we learned?
Unlike Stetson, Illinois can hit shots from outside.

Gotta like the early work on the boards...

this is okay
they won’t keep shooting like this.

Good charge drawn by Lawrence
Don’t try to tell mcboomofdoom that he just did something positive.

How many random 3s

Do not want
They’ve GOT to cool off eventually, right?
Can you come up with some kind of statistical goodness to calm my worries, The Boy?

this sucks
how come illinois always gets one random MFer to get hot during these games.
by stlcardinalsfang on Dec 23, 2008 6:47 PM CST reply actions
Illinois is not as good as they are playing now.
We will get a spark from somewhere and make a good run. Keep your heads on straight , boys.
or we might not hit another bucket the rest of the game
one of those.

So...
Who guessed six months ago that Mizzou basketball and football would both be ranked No. 25?

This outlook of this team changes COMPLETELY...

first FG in 4.5 minutes
that’s a winning formula.

Maybe making hickory smoked sausage and getting away from the Live thread will change our luck.

nice fast break.
love the unselfishness.
followed by another defensive breakdown.

sorry...
…had to do some stuff around the house to get ready for the morning trip and fell behind…just caught up on DVR…guess we’ll just use the comments thread as a liveblog of sorts. I am guilty of false advertising.

let him heat up
he’s getting the open looks, he’ll start hitting them eventually.
by stlcardinalsfang on Dec 23, 2008 7:02 PM CST up reply actions
that's what they need to be doing
work it inside to lyons and (if he comes back) carroll.
by stlcardinalsfang on Dec 23, 2008 6:59 PM CST reply actions
and...
…as a whole, I’m more annoyed than worried right now. We have taken some stupid shots, but not a lot. We’re taking shots I like for the most part, but they’re just not falling. I mean, there’s a goddamn lid on our basket.
And yes…the Dee Brown-esque “Oh crap, I need to launch this up there” 3-pointer was ridiculous…and it seems to happen every year.
Rock M Nation
Thrust nunchuk upward!
that's at least three shots
that should have gone down and didn’t for 8 points.
Oh, and...
…I used to think Steve Lavin was actually a decent announcer. Then after a year or so, I came to the realization that he only has about four things to say. And he says them repeatedly.
Rock M Nation
Thrust nunchuk upward!
that's THREE complete defensive breakdowns.
by stlcardinalsfang on Dec 23, 2008 7:03 PM CST reply actions
Leo is not Demarre...
…when he’s defending up top, I get very scared.

Oh hey, it's Demarre...
…so I guess it’s not a season-ending injury, huh?
Rock M Nation

this is sad
i thought the team might be different this year. i guess not. looks like the same ol’ sorry ass team from the last 4-5 years.
by stlcardinalsfang on Dec 23, 2008 7:05 PM CST reply actions
and now miscomunication on offense
it seems like game is running out already. better start making our comeback.
by stlcardinalsfang on Dec 23, 2008 7:06 PM CST reply actions
Remember that KSU game in '98...
…where they couldn’t miss and every shot they took rimmed out…we were playing well, and we were down 15…and then we stopped playing well, and suddenly we were down 35? I’m not saying we’re going to lose by 55, but this game has kinda set up like that so far…gotta keep hustling and hope that the rims on that end are just as ridiculously rigid for Illinois in the second half…
Rock M Nation
Thrust nunchuk upward!
whoops...
…“where they couldn’t miss and every shot we took rimmed out”…typing fail.
Rock M Nation
Thrust nunchuk upward!
Wow...
…we’ve given up on defense. That was a Quin Snyder zone right there.
And then Safford misses another shot that was dead on…

lyons draws the foul
not that he’s going to convert it into points.
and now lavin and whomever the punk he’s with are orgasming all over the big ten. this is going to be an entertaining night.

Well...
…Mizzou isn’t giving them much to talk about.

Hey, Mizzou, nice of you to show up.
Problem is, you left your balls in Columbia. And I don’t mean basketballs.

RMN overlords, I have an unconventional suggestion.
Perhaps a new thread would change the hoodoo-voodoo of this game.
