What that post about the Big12 vs. SEC ticket prices tells me
Is that, at Mizzou, I can spend $32 to sit on a rock and watch the game, whereas at a Georgia I may be allowed to sit in the parking lot.

Good call
I would be interested to see what seats are available for people with general admission tickets in the various stadiums. Beyond that, I wonder why the SEC has such a tighter grouping? I wonder what the correlation would be between that chart and revenue distributions…
by Damnatio Memoriae on Nov 14, 2011 9:32 AM CST up reply actions
Something has to be wrong with where they place us.
The amount shown is less than most of our general admission tickets. What about the other 60 thousand seats at a much higher price? Heck, I sit in the south endzone and my each of my season ticket packages were something like 229 bucks for 6 games, not counting the added handling fee or whatever that was they included above that.
Read the note at the bottom
The Ticket Price for each team is determined by averaging individual general admission tickets . The prices for student and/or reserved tickets are not included.

the turning point of the texas/mizzou game
came before the game even started. the girl that was carrying the “s” flag in “texas” fell down as she was running down the texas sideline. critical error on her part, one from which the horns never recovered.

right after our first score
it was fantastic. She hit the drum, then began a slow jog, she went back to swing again and then realized she was too far back to hit it. She sprinted after it but never got up close enough to swing at it again. It was like watching a corner back getting caught looking in the backfield.

I'd just like to say, belatedly...
How much I love kicking Texas in the teeth the last time we meet them in the Big 12. It’s almost worth being 5-5, just so it stings a little more for them.
and to beat them the first time we ever played them
And then the last (for now). Everything in between will be forgotten. ;^)

I was actually expecting the crowd to rush the goalposts as we hadn't beaten Texas in forever.
Made me proud that we didn’t. We beat Texas. Ho hum. On to the next one.
Never Forget Wolf Island, or pie.
Kentucky = the new ku
I think it had more to do with
The lack of people there at the end of the game and the way we won, than “beating Texas is business as usual.”
Compared to the signature wins I’ve seen that resulted in field rushing, there just weren’t that many people there when time expired, and there just wasn’t that palpable energy crackling in the air. There’s any number of reasons I can think of: the weather, the injury to Josey, the way the second half played out as a demonstration of offensive impotence on the part of both teams, the not-as-good-as-we’ve-gotten-used-to record coming into the game, etc. I would have much rather seen a packed house chanting S-E-C and rushing the field as time expired… maybe we’re saving it for our first big win in the SEC next season?
by Damnatio Memoriae on Nov 14, 2011 10:57 AM CST up reply actions
I like the idea of not rushing the field because we beat a top 20 team at home
I hope the students carry this tradition on. We beat the #1 team in the country? Go for it. Win a game to clinch the SEC East? Sure. But the fact was we beat a team, that was 6-2 and hadn’t beaten a quality opponent this year. Their best win is what? BYU? UCLA?
Rushing the filed to me would symbolize what most people bemoan when rankings come out each year, i.e. the name on the helmet is more important than the product on the field.

Well, there were a number of Texas fans there.
Got to think that’s part of it. But beyond that, don’t underestimate how much, I’ve found, Kansas City and Chicago fans are willing to outwardly boo the Cardinals.
If I were there, I wouldn’t have booed David Freese. But seeing him would have made me very, very, very sad.

I asked the Beef what his relation to the school was
he drank for a semester, then left. had no ties to the baseball program.
Though I certainly understand the reason for the school doing these things (former players, random faculty groups, other teams), I just didn’t think he qualifies.
That and in my humble opinion, the Cards are worthless.

Cards fans hating the Royals for 1985. 1985 for me was about the Royals winning I had no hate for the Cards after all that.
That's right Ice Man. I am dangerous
when I ask people around KC why they hate the Cardinals so much and why they think there is a rivalry
it inevitably goes back to 85. I have no idea why. It makes absolutely zero sense to me. But all the ones that I talked to – I just eventually gave up, somehow try to tie it back to 85.
Busting Bill C since September 19, 2011 10:19 CST, 8:19 PDT.
yeah I totally don't get it and I grew up a Royals fan.
The 80’s were fantastic with two of the best clubs in baseball in MO and some hall of famers playing for both sides. I just don’t see the rivalry. The only thing I guess maybe Royals fans don’t feel they get full credit for ’85.
That's right Ice Man. I am dangerous
It's really just in-state jealousy
In the 70’s and 80’s, the Royals were one of the top teams. Royals-Yankees was one of the great rivalries. The 85 Series was a nice capstone win over an in-state rival, but almost immediately after that, the Royals fell into a 25 year funk. For the Cards to still be successful, particularly with a coach who did so much damage to the Royals when he was with the A’s, it kind of sticks in your throat. But the real kicker for me was when the Rams came to town. After the football Cards left, there was a bit of smug satisfaction in KC. We were the football town, they were the baseball town. Their whine-and0cheese fans didn’t help much because they acted like Beakers when the Rams sucked. “Oh, we don’t care, we’re just counting down the days until spring training starts”. But then the Rams won the Super Bowl and all of a sudden it was “OMFG GREATEST SPORTS CITY IN THE WORLD” That the Chiefs never managed to get over the hump in the 90’s added some extra bile to that.

As a fair-weather Rams fan
who fell off of the full-time fan wagon when they fired Martz (love him or hate him, he makes a team interesting to follow), I agree with the assessment on St. Louis football fans.
And the “greatest sports city in the world” thing was so 2000. It seemed to make sense at the time, and it really didn’t make sense at all. St. Louisans are just fans, just like Kansas Citians. Hell, look at Pittsburgh; everyone thinks they’re such great fans because of the Steelers and Penguins, but the Pirates can’t attract 20K on a regular basis. People everywhere support winners. (Maybe that’s why the media consistently rates Boston as the best sports city, because all of their douchy teams win and are thus well supported.)

I am a fan of both the Cardinals and Chiefs.
I am a life-long Cardinals (baseball) fan. I remember watching the football Cardinals with my dad before they left for Arizona (although I was too young to really know what was going on). When I was old enough to really start paying attention to pro football, the Bears were good, but I couldn’t make myself into a Bears fan (I grew up in Illinois). I started following the Chiefs and remain a Chiefs fan (which isn’t easy these days). When the Rams came to StL, many friends and family started cheering for them, but I didn’t. I am still a baseball Cardinals fan, a Chiefs fan, and obviously a Mizzou fan. I don’t feel any hatred toward the Royals or their fans. I get the impression that would maybe be different if I actually was from StL, but I guess I don’t really understand the hatred.
Yep, and most Cardinals fans are kind of past that series
but I heard so much about it from Royals fans when I was at Mizzou that it got really stale, really quickly.
Makes sense. Bet Royals fans in KC are also peeved that the hatred is not returned.
Cards fans are “meh” to Royals fans in general. It’s like hating someone because they’re poor.

Meant to read any other NL team
I would cheer for the Cards if they played the Royals, but I think you all figured that out by now
I wasn't there, but good for those fans
One State, One Mizzou is great for humanitarian efforts, but it doesn’t apply to stuff like sports teams. There’s thousands of Mizzou fans who don’t care about MLB, don’t root for the Cardinals, or even actively dislike the Cardinals. Trotting out Freese is a pretty flimsy way to say “Yay Cardinals” on that platform, much like they did over the PA in 2006.

Honestly
I don’t tend to pay a great deal of attention when they trot people out between quarters or during TV time outs (unless it’s military/veteran related), but I don’t ever recall them bringing someone like that out who really had no connection to Mizzou besides playing a professional sports for a team in Missouri. If it hadn’t been the Rangers the Cards beat, or Texas that we were playing, I don’t think that happens.

but it is a connection. He also has been mentioning Mizzou in national interviews and the announcers during the World Series mentioned about a dozen times that he attended Mizzou.

If I'm not mistaken, it was the first home game since the World Series ended.
So it may have been coincidence. Although I’m good with Mizzou taking another (although slight) swipe at Texas if it was planned.

That’s what my dad said. Many of the alumni, being from StL and thus Cards fans, are great baseball fans (good spectators, only good for cheering when good plays happen or once in the bottom of the ninth) but terrible football fans. In KC, regardless of how much we suck currently, football games involve two things:
1) Standing. The whole game.
2) Yelling. Loud. When your team plays defense.
It’s pretty simple. And the fact is that Mizzou fans, especially the alumni, do neither. And I blame StL/the Cardinals.

Sorry, but KC fans are just like any other fanbase: the level of fan interest/participation is directly correlated to how good the on-field product is.

Those people exist. But they're also at Mizzou games.
And they are embarrassing. But at least they make noise. If you want to sit, be quiet and watch football – stay at home. From my point of view, at least.

And when you’re 60 and donating a lot of money to your alma mater, buying good seats to Mizzou games, and thoroughly enjoying the camaraderie that is college football…I’d say you deserve the right to cheer the way you want to.

Those 10K are going to have to have a lot of fight in their dog

That's a little dramatic, isn't it?
Standing every other series and making a little noise isn’t that strenuous, is it?

For a 60 year old
I think long bouts of standing and yelling takes a much more significant toll on someone than it does on a younger man.
I think it is a much more dramatic position to suggest to a guy who rooted for Mizzou back in the days when the team was abysmal that he doesn’t deserve to be in the stands (by your standards) because he doesn’t have the same energy as he once did and if he still wants to watch his school play, he should either by a suite or watch the game at home.

those 60 year old donors are the ones who stepped to the plate financially and allowed the Athletic Department to make the facilities that attract better talent to our university.
Yes, but
“Irate Season Ticket Holder” is as annoying as “Fire Yost Guy”. ISTH doesn’t really care if something really good happened on the field, he will still scream at you to sit down and be quiet and if you don’t he’ll call the usher and have you kicked out because he’s donated a significant amount of money to the University. If fans are standing up in front of you the entire time, that’s one thing, but if you’re just a killjoy who wants everyone to sit on their hands the entire time, then I agree that they should just stay home and watch the game on tv. People attend the games in person for a reason, and that’s because you get an experience that you can’t get at home. It’s about interacting with the crowd and the teams and being part of something that’s bigger than you.

The real issue with both groups (the rebel rousing youngsters and the get-off-my-lawn ISTHs) is that they both feel that everyone should cheer their way.

as someone who works as an usher at Mizzou football games
no one would ever be kicked out for simply standing up and cheering. We’ve been told both by our bosses and MU higher ups that people can come stand, sit, cheer, or not, it’s a football game they might not like people standing but it’s a football game so if it bothers you the tv in the living room works just as well

I respectfully disagree
I think the older fans (dont accuse me of age-ism) have a lot to do with people not standing. I saw 2 fans, one MU and one from Texas standing for the whole game about 70 rows up. The 60+ year old man behind them nearly fought them about 3 times during the first half because they were blocking his view.
I also don’t understand how people can hate either the Royals or the Cardinals just because they are from the opposite side of the state. I’m a Cards’ fan first, but the Royals would be my 2nd favorite team.

I'd be more likely...
To believe it’s the Rams fault, but not the Cardinals. Blaming the Cards for football behavior sounds suspiciously close to blaming them for the housing downturn.
Agree 100%
Attending a Rams game is horrible. Haven’t been in years and don’t plan to again. I am a huge Cards fan and live on the west side of the state now. Never realized the bitterness that many Royals fans have for Cardinals. Cards fans could really care less about the Royals. Up until this postseason I wanted the Royals to do well as long as it wasn’t at the expense of the Cards. That has changed after living on the west side of the state and listening to Royals fans. I have lost a lot of respect for people I have gotten to know over the past couple of years and now on this site based on the inaccurate portrayals of Card fans that only come out when they have great success.

I'm with you
but don’t lump everyone in the same boat. Most of us StL Mizzou folks just want less of a divide over all issues that aren’t Mizzou related.
Okay, explain this to me.
Seiously, I have no idea why people think standing for three hours is some great feat of fandom. I paid for a seat, I have a bad back and standing in one place is tortuous but somehow I am a ‘bad’ fan because I want to sit?
The alumni side needs to learn to be loud on every defensive down, not just third. Somehow I don’t think you can blame StL fans for this since approximately half the alumni should be from KC. Or are you saying that KC fans simply don’t come to the games?
Can we please halt the anti-Cards talk before the holy war starts? I’m not pointing any fingers at anyone here but I didn’t develop a hatred of the Royals until I attended Mizzou, at age 30, and had to deal with their fans on the rare days I would wear a Cardinals hat.

That's what I am saying.
I-70 west was just a busy with most cars flying their tiger tails. I know a lot of these fans were simply filling seats (and complaining about Pinkel, Yost, Steck, etc) for far too much of the game. The issue is blaming it on one population group or another.
One thing I do know is that the quiet is infectious. I normally try to sit on the student side when I can make a game but for Texas we were with the alumni. Most of the first quarter I stood and yelled but when you are one of two people in the entire section being a ‘good’ fan you tend to sit down, shut up and stop annoying the regulars.
I'm in Section O
And there is a pretty large contingent of the “sit-down-and-shut-up” crowd. They are the same people that in real life are members of the “damn-kids-get-off-of-my-lawn” crowd.

The point is that St. Louisans know how to be good baseball fans. (Understandably, because of their success)
But they don’t know how to be good football fans. And because I’ve been spoiled by a different football culture in KC, we hardly have a baseball franchise since Glass came to town, I’m consistently disappointed in the way Mizzou fans choose to support the team.
I’ve been to over half of the old Big 12 stadiums (K-State, kU, OK-State, Nebraska, ISU, TAMU, TX) and have had season tickets since 2002. We hardly have a home-field advantage as far as crowd noise goes, and that might be due to stadium design (the open horseshoe doesn’t help contain much) but I KNOW we can do better. And I’m using StL football fans as the scapegoat. Which isn’t fair. But whatever, I’m frustrated.
It’d be nice if people would do what you’re supposed to do at football games. Sit and be quiet during offense. Stand and cheer during defense. It’s not rocket science.

I realize that I'm not being reasonable.
I admitted that. St. Louis people shouldn’t take it personally.
It's not the size of the dog in the fight; it's the size of the fight in the dog.
- Mark Twain
Does that mean you don't really believe your argument?
If your argument is not reasonable, how can you defend it? Just curious.
Blaming StL people for the lack of noise isn't something that's realistic.
It just allows me to justify my perception that the stadium sounded loudest when Freese stepped on the field for 5 seconds. Which sucks because, the way our defense played on Saturday, it would’ve been nice if all the Cards fans that cheered on their hometown hero could have strained their vocals a bit more for Steckel’s D.
And I’m not a fan of StL as a whole. Check my team allegiances. :)

Well, justify away
but there is a difference between consistent 3.5 hour cheering (it’s truly exhausting, even if I enjoy doing it from time to time) and cheering for one person for 30 seconds.
I guarantee that there were plenty of StL Mizzou fans at Homecoming vs. OU last year. Do you feel safe in saying that they didn’t do anything to make it the most electric football environment Mizzou’s ever had on campus?
It’s all situation dependent. I’ll tell you how I felt watching the game on TV Saturday: very excited to see the Tigers win, increasingly excited in the second half as the D really turned up the pressure, but yet not the kind of “jump up and down” excited as I was watching last year’s OU game.
Every game has its own feel, its own tension. Particularly due to the fact that neither team really got its offense clicking (and highly due to the fact that each team saw a devastating injury that will affect the lives of those two RBs forever), it would be hard to scream for the entire game.
But you can continue to project all the faults of our fanbase onto one specific group of people.

Booing anyone that's just there to be recognized, really.
I can see the Texas fans doing; that’s understandable and even a little funny, since they were on the receiving end of his MVP performance, and as I noted above, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was an intentional slight. If you’re not a Cards fan, that’s cool, don’t clap. But going out of your way to boo a guy that was invited and showed up just to be recognized for his accomplishments doesn’t show a whole lot of class, in my opinion. For the record, if the Royals had won the series, I imagine their MVP would have been recognized the same way.
Of course, I subscribe to the whole “clap for your opponent because they’re there to compete just like you are, and the better they are the better you look in victory” school of thought, and I can only think of a handful of times I think booing is acceptable (particularly bad calls by the refs, a coach running up the score to rub it in, etc.) so take my opinion with a few bags of rock salt.

Former Penn State coach Joe Paterno’s name has been removed from the Big Ten’s football championship trophy, league commissioner Jim Delany said Monday.
The league announced in light of the series of events that have recently unfolded at Penn State, including grand jury indictments, an ongoing grand jury investigation, a U.S. Department of Education investigation, the Board of Trustees’ dismissal of Paterno and the Board of Trustees’ appointment of a Special Investigation Committee, it would remove Paterno’s name from the championship trophy.
The trophy will be awarded at the Big Ten’s inaugural football championship game Dec. 3 in Indianapolis.
"We believe that it would be inappropriate to keep Joe Paterno’s name on the trophy at this time," Delany said. "The trophy and its namesake are intended to be celebratory and aspirational, not controversial. We believe that it’s important to keep the focus on the players and the teams that will be competing in the inaugural championship game."
The trophy to be presented in Indianapolis next month will now be called the “Stagg Championship Trophy,” named after Amos Alonzo Stagg, who coached football at the University of Chicago, a founding member of the Big Ten, from 1892-1932. Stagg compiled a 199-94-22 record while the University of Chicago was a member of the Big Ten, including national championships in 1905 and 1913.

Congrats on the win on Saturday
I was sorry to see Josey go down like Whittaker. Terribly unfortunate for both kids.
For what it’s worth, while I don’t think Mizzou got Texas’ best shot — we were cooked once Fozzy went down — I thought the difference in the game was the really impressive play by Franklin. His legs add a lot of value to y’alls offensive approach, and he did a great job making throws amidst strong defensive pressure by Texas. He’s definitely a keeper.
Good luck in the SEC.
