Pro Quality. Fan Perspective.
Around SBN: Has Kentucky Improved Since the Non-Conference Season?

Buzz Bissinger may be a braying jackass, but he might have had a point

Namely, that commentators on Deadspin often trend towards the idiotic. As seen today when they posted a picture of that massive sign some kUchebags put up when the game was starting to get out of hand. You know, the one with John Brown holding the NC trophy in one hand.

Of course, the large contingent of Beakers on that site (one of its editors, Pete "PeteJayhawk" Gaines, went there and will often try to bring in the fact that Mizzou fans are "slavers" into any discussion even tangentially related to the Tigers or anything from Missouri: his presence brought a shed-load of dittoheads there as well) had a field day with it. A selection of their wit and wisdom:

"Missouri fans responded by advocating the return of slavery."--Self Respect (more from him later)

"Greatest banner ever in the history of sports.

Anti-slavery > slavery
Kansas > Missouri" --Mr Gaines himself, who clearly flunked his Civil War-era history class...plus, this guy's a LOOKER!  Drinky-pete_medium

Mr. Self Respect then went on to post that "Missouri One Shining Moment" video some Beaker with a editing program put up last year, which gained a lot of +1s and heart-clicks from the commentariat, and then closed it by bringing up Ricky Clemons and poor attendance, along with telling a brave Mizzou fan that he was in the wrong place.

In conclusion: The Internet's most popular and influential sports blog hates Missouri, Kansas fans are myopic dolts whose argument about being so "forward" loses all credibility when Fred Phelps has said he's a fan of your team, and I'm still angry about yesterday and willing to take it out on anyone.

I'd get angry, but...

I never cared about/read Deadspin in the first place.

same here...

(I was going to say “ditto”, but I think I’ve already said that a couple times today.)

Whatever edge Deadspin had with me (I never read it voluntarily, but if I saw a link to a post, I usually followed it) disappeared with Will Leitsch (sp?). I supported DS and Leitsch in Attack of the Buzz, but at the same time it’s just not my cup of tea. I’m not thrilled with the fact that a widely-read website gets to pass along a lazy interpretation of history, but I guess I’m really not going to lose sleep over it.
