If you named it SPOOOON

Would the announcer at the dog show be required to yell it in a deep voice with a drawn out OOOO? Because if they would, that would be hilarious.

by Damnatio Memoriae on Nov 30, 2011 8:50 AM CST up reply actions  

actually, they are required to pronounce it, exactly as written

thats what makes naming the dogs a compitition in its own right at these trials lol.. I’ve heard some duzzies……

the deep voice would be awesome, especiially because then I would go to a trial in Kansas just for grins and giggles

on an athletic scholarship----

its not very often I have a kid who can compete for playing time at mizzou, been teaching five years and only had three students go to a d1 school for athletics.

by Fatboyroy on Nov 30, 2011 9:40 AM CST up reply actions  

no just lucky-

Barrow was a junior at Moberly when I was student teaching. man that kid was awesome in class on the field..

then at paris where I coached football jon Gillam was the QB and he was a walk on at MU but he was too short and quit because seriously he was competing against Daniels and stuff.

Then this year Mizzou wanted Taylor Cook for vollyball in lesterville but technically I’m not her coach for that sport.

You should either call him Chauncey McDeaverson or Chase Daniel.

Regarding Mr. SEC link on Recruiting...

One of the comments mentions that Mizzou shouldn’t be able to “demand” to have A&M as the permanent cross-division rival. He also implied that Mizzou feels entitled to play in the state of Texas. All because of our recruiting pipeline there.

Am I alone in thinking this sounds ridiculous?

by Saximus on Nov 30, 2011 8:59 AM CST reply actions  

And by ridiculous...

I mean, why would Mizzou demand to have A&M as the cross-division rival? Isn’t the consensus pro-Arkansas?

If you want to see ridiculous, go read the comments over on the WWL’s website sometime. I’m surprised some of those people can even operate a computer well enough to comment.

I find it better to avoid comment threads outside of SBNation sites

That said, we may as well get used to all sorts of obnoxious trolling, not just in comments threads, but in articles, posts, etc. No one trolls quite like SEC pundits and fans. Better to take the high road and just ignore it. Unless they do it here, then they get the recipe treatment. (Which I find kind of ironic, because the standard response is to NOT feed the trolls, whereas we quite literally do feed them.)

While I know you're joking.

That’s a false equivalency.

Simply because A does B and C does B, does not mean A and B have anything else in common.

Example:
I read Rock M. So do you.
You hate pie.
So I hate pie (demonstrably false).

This article

is absolutely terrible. Maybe the whole thing was a joke I just didn’t get? The part about there not being Tigers in Missouri especially bothers me. We AREN’T, for the last time, literally named after the big cat. I would venture a guess that our mascot is MORE relevant than 90% of mascots out there. The big cat is a representation of what the Tigers really are to Columbia and Missouri, because a dude with a rifle defending our town against Confederate troops probably wouldn’t look wonderful on the side of a helmet.

Just a really stellar comment on this article if you missed it:
Let’s go with the Missouri Travellers, as in “fellow travellers”. Lots of Commies down there in Columbia hanging out in J-School and Arts & Sciences. We can drop the Gold from the “Black and Gold” and all wear black pj’s like the old days of Chairman Mao. Coach Pinkle can become just “Coach Pink”. Occupy Columbia!

I can tell you from experience . . .

. . . that in the late 60s the ag students used to hang out in the “shortcut” areas between buildings with their initiation paddles and whack any longhairs that dared to walk anywhere but on the sidewalks. Longhairs and commies were one and the same to the cowboys, and after a couple of whackings I decided to make my “social statement” some way other than with long hair.

You can add the Post Disgrace and STLtoday

To the list of things you’re better off not reading; at least when it comes to coverage of Mizzou.

If I had read that article out of context, I would just assume he was joking, but if you’ve read anything else he’s written, you can’t be so sure.

Gary Pinkel is going to explain a lot in today’s interview regarding EXPANSIONPALOOZA. He says that on the Thursday before the Miami-Ohio game, Brady Deaton got a vote of confidence from all Big XII schools, and on Friday, Oklahoma was on its way out the door.

Okay, I’ll admit it. I’m not as well-versed on the board as I wish, but could someone tell me who “KK” is, AND what is the “WWL” website that keeps being referred to above?

by HlywdMizzou on Nov 30, 2011 4:53 PM CST reply actions  

KK is Kevin Kietzman, local sports radio troll

WWL is World Wide Leader, a reference to ESPN. Also referred to as the Mothership when Dan Patrick is involved, but SB Nation otherwise.
