Around SBN: Shaq As Orlando Magic General Manager? Don't Bet On It

Go.

Today -- Friday, September 3 -- represents Day No. 246 of our 246-day waiting period between the close of the 2009 football season and the birth of 2010.

The offseason has been long and -- the past few weeks especially -- troublesome. But at this moment, none of that matters. The offseason will fade to black, a distant memory. It will still be there; we can't completely forget it. We simply won't be able to focus upon it because the new, more brilliant light has emerged from our periphery and captured our gaze.

Fifteen hours from the moment that this is published, the 2010 Missouri Tiger football season will be born, springing to life after an arduous 246 days.

There's only one thing to do:

Go.

Perfect timing

This text came to my phone ten seconds after the fight sing came on my iPod, as I’m driving to STL from Columbia. Coincidence. I think not. M. I. Z.

By reading, I meant ready

It’s been a long week and I need the long weekend clearly.

Also, "Ready to Die" would be a fantastic intro song for Missouri basketball.

This is your time to pay,
This is your judgment day,
We made a sacrifice,
And now we get to take your life.

We shoot without a gun,
We’ll take on anyone,
It’s really nothing new,
It’s just a thing we like to do.
[We shoot without a gun? IT’S FUNNY BECAUSE THEY SHOOT WITH A BASKETBALL. And beating you is really nothing new, just a thing we like to do.]

You better get ready to die,
You better get ready to kill,
You better get ready to run,
Cause here we come,
You better get ready to die!
[You better get ready to run? Hell yeah if you’re playing a Mike Anderson team!]

Your life is over now,
Your life is running out,
When your time is at an end,
Then it’s time to kill again,
We cut without a knife,
We live in black and white,
Your just a parasite,
Now close your eyes and say good-night.
[Cut without a knife? Yeah, like when Mike Dixon cuts into the lane!]

You better get ready to die,
You better get ready to kill,
You better get ready to run,
Cause here we come,
You better get ready to die!
Get ready to die!
Get ready to die!

And so on.

"...some of the biggest roars you hear at Mizzou Arena these days are for steals, shot clock violations, and forcing opponents into timeouts in their own backcourt. Just as Anderson has crafted himself a team built on defensive intensity, he's built himself a fan base that echoes that same value system." - RPT

CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS-2010 STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!

by elpjuly4 on Sep 4, 2010 6:47 AM CDT reply actions  

I'm so afraid for this game.

In the Post-Dispatch this morning, Steckel called Scheelhaase a great runner whose throwing ability is getting better. Sounds like somebody familiar.

I say Mizzou wins 56-49. Neither defense is able to do anything, but Blaine Gabbert lights up Illinois just enough with 4 passing touchdowns and 574 yards.

by StopSpe on Sep 4, 2010 7:21 AM CDT reply actions  

Illinois will not score 49 points.

It was actually more a joke prediction.

Wasn’t clear enough on that second part. Don’t think Gabbert gets 574 yards either. Just making hyperbole.
