thanks RPT!

any word on who is doing the game today? i know gus is doing the game right now so it’s obviously not him.

lundquist is quality

they could do better than kellogg though. in my opinion.

by stlcardinalsfang on Mar 6, 2010 11:46 AM CST up reply actions  

Lundquist is a legend

And I’m very middling on Kellogg. He’s not one of my top 5 color guys, but you can do much, MUCH worse.

by RPT on Mar 6, 2010 11:49 AM CST up reply actions  

I hope their lack of familiarity with Mizzou doesn't hinder the broadcast

we so rarely get top announcers for our games that I fear they won’t know anything about Mizzou and lean toward the hated.

by shaffe on Mar 6, 2010 11:49 AM CST up reply actions  

Lundquist is a consummate professional

And Kellogg is usually on top of things because of the NCAA Tournament, so I’m sure last year’s run will help in that regard.

I have a feeling that BOTH fan bases will be pissed with the announcing today, though. KU fans are going to be sick of hearing about Mizzou Arena and Senior Day, and Mizzou fans are going to be sick of hearing about KU being one of the top teams in the country. C’est la vie, I guess.

mornin'

watching Manchester United’s visit to Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton….no score in the 13th minute

Tony Crocker has 3 fouls already

not good

If you watch Jaws backwards, it's about a shark that throws people up until they have to open a beach.

during the OU aTm halftime

The studio crew is talking about the Big East tournament and how there’s just no easy way to put on a 16 team tournament.

Here’s an idea: cut out 4 teams from even making the tournament. If they don’t like it, then don’t be the only conference in America that has 16 friggen teams.

by shaffe on Mar 6, 2010 11:52 AM CST reply actions  

But, but...

Depaul could still make a run!

How is it tough to put on a 16-team tournament?

seed from 1-16, then play 4 rounds. What’s the problem?

by Andy--01 on Mar 6, 2010 12:32 PM CST up reply actions  

For a little halftime watching...

Or if the game turns ugly…turn on TNT to watch lucky number slevin….one of the most underrated movies of all time.

Not that I can tell.

But I am BURIED in the corner of the press area.

by RPT on Mar 6, 2010 11:58 AM CST up reply actions  

Didn't you pull the "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM??"

Obviously you didn’t, because surely you’d be in a better spot if you did.

by shaffe on Mar 6, 2010 11:59 AM CST up reply actions  

Haha...

I’d be probably escorted out of the building if I tried to pull that stunt. The corner suits me just fine.

Can someone explain this.

Mike doesn’t want that. He doesn’t need to go out and sign a bunch of McDonald’s All-Americans. He just needs to go find a few Burger King-type guys and he’ll get it done.

big 10 (from a different perspective)

i’m a high school senior from chicago going to mizzou in the fall. im a huge sports fan and am now a diehard mizzou fan after spending my first 17 years as an illini fan. now that ive left the big 10, i can already see how shitty that conference is from the outside looking in. when i get to school, i want to be part of the big 12, i want to hate kansas and nebraska and oklahoma and texas and i want to watch good football and basketball. i do NOT want to be forced to return to the big 10. somebody tell me its not gonna happen? please?

by elpjuly4 on Mar 6, 2010 11:57 AM CST reply actions  

If they come calling....

I don’t see us turning it down. However, I’m pretty sure that Mizzou would be their third choice behind Pitt and Rutgers..

by MUTIGERS86 on Mar 6, 2010 11:58 AM CST up reply actions  

Bingo.

If they ask, we’re as good as gone.

The ball is in their court.

by RPT on Mar 6, 2010 11:59 AM CST up reply actions  

noooooooo

im pretty sure i decided i was going to mizzou after illinois lost to a penn state team that scored 38 points last year…

by elpjuly4 on Mar 6, 2010 12:00 PM CST reply actions  

Haha...

Have fun talking to all of your high school buddies after the Arch Rivalry game next fall.

my girlfriend is going to u of i

four years of kicking her ass should be fun

Not much you could do to Juice at this point...

Pretty sure Weatherspoon took all the pulp out of him about 7 months ago.

by MUTIGERS86 on Mar 6, 2010 12:06 PM CST up reply actions  

he graduated

which should be addition by subtraction for them. 4 year starters that peak sophomore year are generally not successful…

by elpjuly4 on Mar 6, 2010 12:06 PM CST up reply actions  

I wouldn't worry about it.

Contract with the big 12 requires a 2 year notice before leaving, and at earliest it would be announced next summer I would assume, so your first 3 years will at least be in the big 12.

by MUTIGERS86 on Mar 6, 2010 12:03 PM CST up reply actions  

Lundquist and Kellogg...

…one thing their presence means if that we can ABSOLUTELY play the Announcers Doing a Mizzou Game for the First Time All Season Drinking Game. Kim English slept in the gym! Zaire Taylor is Mr. Big Shot! Keith Ramsey is a blue-collar guy!

by Bill C. on Mar 6, 2010 12:06 PM CST reply actions  

Drink

by tigers and chiefs fan on Mar 6, 2010 12:07 PM CST up reply actions  

Will do.

Though I will say this: if you think it’s a rule, it’s a rule. In other words … if you think you’re supposed to drink … drink.

yep

What are the chances we get Fran during the Big 12 tourney?

We put too much energy into that drinking game for it’s debut to be the next season

I blacked out and almost forgot the ending to last years game. Don’t want to do it agin.

Tiny Gallon limping off real bad

I know, sorry to derail the thread with actual hoops discussion.

Was about to post the same thing...

…OU’s down only two, but that injury won’t help the cause…

by Bill C. on Mar 6, 2010 12:10 PM CST up reply actions  

they took his shoe off too

you don’t take a shoe off with a minor ankle injury if you think you’re coming back in the game.

by CPC on Mar 6, 2010 12:10 PM CST up reply actions  

Yes...

But you could argue that we should have lost to ISU and Tech…..so it all evens out.

By the way...for the nerds...

Twitter topic for the Sloan Sports Analytics Conference going on in Boston right now. Was REALLY close to going…

by Bill C. on Mar 6, 2010 12:11 PM CST reply actions  

So West Virginia put up 16 points in the first half...

Does this remind anybody of a certain game from last year…?

by MUTIGERS86 on Mar 6, 2010 12:16 PM CST reply actions  

I see...

But that one’s at Villanova, so I think that one’s over

so i'm hoping i'll be able to find a place to watch the game

I’m on my way to atlanta and will be stuck at a mall this afternoon. Do we know if the game is on national TV?

by kevinf on Mar 6, 2010 12:18 PM CST via mobile reply actions  

thanks!

I assume it’ll be on somewhere, in a restaurant at least

by kevinf on Mar 6, 2010 12:21 PM CST via mobile up reply actions  

aren't we supposed to be Oklahoma fans for this game?

Doesn’t a Sooner win help our cause for a top 4 seed?

Jesus. They're having fun today.

Kimmie is out here puttin’ on a pregame show. Hit several scoop shots from halfcourt and threw down an alley oop off the backboard.

The crowd is eating this UP. Students are packed in.

by RPT on Mar 6, 2010 12:21 PM CST reply actions  

it's good that they're relaxed...

… So long as they’re not TOO relaxed and accordingly sloppy come gametime.

Hopefully this is a sign that kim came to play today.

holy crap this game is going to run long.
