Not to make this a useless post, Mizzou will win because Baylor has to play it’s fourth game in four days.
13:08 left in Duke-MD
They can’t play that in half an hour, no way. Looks like we’ll either be delayed or moved to another channel (hopefully)
They showed Carroll coming off the bus
and said tip off was at 5:15

Let the bears pay the bear tax. I pay the homer tax!

Dickie V, seriously.
We get it. You like Duke. Noted. Duly noted.
Can you TRY to have some semblance of objectivity? Please?
My 2009 New Years Resolution: Quit feeding the trolls.
i still think about the days when jj redick was playing
his orgasming all over redick and duke in those days was just disgusting.
but can anyone tell me how far they got in the NCAAs with redick?

Duke really hasn't been as good as Dick Vitale thinks they are...
…since 1991.

Not as good as Dickie V thought they were.
Dickie V would probably pick the 2001 Blue Devils over the 2001 LA Lakers.

eh, i was 11 in '01
i don’t really remember how good dickie V thought they were. oh well.

Also, I’ll be watching White Sox spring training.

I don't know what's going on with that...
but most women in my life generally respond well to “Toots”
Woot!
So excited! Who would have expected a Mizzou Big XII championship tourney run this year for what? The first time since 1993?
Go Tigers.
oy
the ’02 run was pretty sweet if i may say so myself.
i don’t block those snyder years out of my memory.
by stlcardinalsfang on Mar 14, 2009 5:03 PM CDT up reply actions
True
I did enjoy that. My senior year actually.
(truth be told, I moved to North Carolina from 2003-2007 so following my Tigers was a little hard – hence the memory… not that the later Snyder years didn’t cause me to want to forget even the better moments if it meant I didn’t recall anything post-Stewart)
Kleiza was later
That was Paulding, AJ, Bryant and …. Clemons.

it'll be pro mizzou by the time the second half rolls around
after we kick their asses so bad they leave at halftime.

But I can yell at the players when they do something that displeases me.

Someone...
… needs to tell The Boy to include photo credits when he does that.
I’m trying to secure some photogs to contribute to RMN, but they aren’t happy about failure to credit.

Best sign of the day so far...
… goes to Baylor: “Let the Baptists dance!”
AND, the Baylor band is playing “Take on Me” right now. I can’t decide whether to laugh or swoon.
Haha...
The Mizzou band played the lead-in to the Missouri Waltz, getting all the Missouri fans to stand. Right as they were about to break into it, the team flew onto the court and the band audibled to the fight song.
Now we’re into the waltz.
lol
it seems like they would coordinate that a bit better.
by stlcardinalsfang on Mar 14, 2009 5:06 PM CDT up reply actions
So...
…they called “Waltz”, checked to “Fight Song”, then checked BACK to “Waltz”?
Peyton Manning would be proud.

Nothing like flipping to "Big 12 Basketball Championship" on the ol' digital guide
and seeing Jon Scheyer.
Where you can lock the door and lose the pants?
You Missouri fans have always had an unnatural obsession with Zaire.
Go Tigers
I’m out to watch the game.

i think it was 5:15 all along.

luring Baylor into a false sense of security that its ok the Bears are tired, cause we’re tired too….then we’ll pounce.

i'm a little worried by our willingness to settle for midrange jumpers
feels like we’re letting Baylor off the hook by not attacking them and pushing the pace

Part of that is a zone...
…they’re going to play the same tight, “We dare you to take a 3” zone until we make a couple, but yeah…we’re freezing up on offense right now…

Mizzou needs to go right at Rogers.
If Rogers is on the bench, JYD is going to take over.

SO...
I’m in lack of internet/cable for part of the week and miss the first games, then I come to my buddies house ISU land, AND HE DOESN’T HAVE TV ANYMORE. What I do for friends.
Second half thread? How is the game going?

Maybe Kimmie should
kiss something on national TV before everygame.
Are we in agreement...
…that if Mizzou leads at halftime, we’re in a reeeeeally good spot?
