Perhaps it was just ESPN focusing on them, but that game looked like it took a lot out of the players and especially HCFH.
I’m really glad there are a couple days for this team to recover and rest.
They were definitely rattled
"You have to remember, basketball to the University of Miami is like football to the University of Kansas." - Kim English
I missed the game to see my son play HS ball
so I watched it after getting home knowing what the outcome was and they beat us at our own game. Ball movement and they made shots. We shot poorly, had a couple calls go against us and we played a close game. These guys will bounce back better for it just like they did the last time.
Tigers no match for K-state?
Sorry. I think that is silly. We beat ourselves last night. Focus and communication was all over the place. Chasing them all over the court and leaving K-state players open for easy buckets. We played like crap and they played really well but when Mizzou pulled it together to close it down to 3 points deficit and a 4 point deficit, we had a game….or a match.
by McZou on Feb 22, 2012 6:26 AM CST via mobile reply actions
Let's be fair
K-State had Mizzou completely rattled. Again. The bad shots came about as much from frustration as anything else. They’re the just the perfect matchup for Mizzou. Most other teams we can compensate for. For whatever reason, K-State’s not that team. I for one am already over it. It would be nice to win the Big XII, but I would rather have a deep tourney run.

when you live in KC
you get tired of hearing about 7 (or 8 possibly) straight championships. I want the title outright…bad! That and it would be a perfect, giant f u to all of the Big 12 haters like Neinas and ku as we head to the SEC.
Don’t get me wrong, I would like to break the Final 4 barrier too, but winning a regular season championship with a true home/away schedule proves a lot more to me.
I'D TRADE 2 MORE LOSSES TO KU FOR A FINAL 4.

Without realizing this team’s Championship potential. Championships are the one they hold at the end of the season.
Obviously I want both...

but we’re right in the middle of a conference race. Once this is done, then I’ll focus more on the tourney.

So THAT’s how you justify a pair of losses by a combined 26 points? That MU beat themselves? No, K-State clearly won the game (just like every other game between the two schools since September). Haith’s team is terrific, but K-State couldn’t possibly be a worse match-up.

K-state played out of their mind
But perhaps 9 consecutive missed three-pointers after pulling within three had something to do with the loss, ya? If season averages hold, Mizzou makes three or four of those, likely taking a lead, then icing it with free throws. Thems the breaks. I"m just glad we got that horrific stretch out of the way before we head into Lawrence…

not only that
but if you play a team twice and both times your team shoots well below its season average, you have to start to acknowledge that it may be something they are doing. Whether it is wearing down English, getting in Flip’s head, etc.
That team is a match-up nightmare for us and they have twice done an excellent job of exploiting it.
This isn’t like losing to Okie St, a team that had no business beating us. It’s a tournament team that is playing well right now and played well last night.

when I moved to Columbia
I was told that the city is on the boarder of the cold weather grass and warm weather grass, making it very difficult for the lawn to stay in quality shape all year. And in any shape, the cost was difficult. Turf, though not natural, needs to be painted once every few years, and sprayed with fabric softener each day. That’s it. It’s a front heavy expenditure, which is cost prohibited to many venues, but I think it works.

Someone needs to come up with a new hybrid grass.
Call it the Missouri Special.
Can handle the cold and lack of sun, then swing it around and handle the humidity and direct sun in the summer. Perhaps give it some other interesting phenotype. I’m thinking tastes great (For Les.) I’m thinking a mint like flavor and perhaps can get you high. The last one is just to perpetuate the stereotype.

They have hybrids that work in this zone, they just dont stand up to the wear and tear of football.
The chiefs have to replace half their field every year about 2/3 of the way through the season and it looks awful.

I get so tired of hearing that
So by that logic, every team that hasn’t won a national championship cannot keep their traditions because they are worthless. Screw that. I would rather keep the same traditions alive and work towards winning than say screw it, let’s change everything so more people will know our “brand”. I am fine with uniform changes, because ours has had a history of changing. What I am not ok with is selling out. The Block M has a rich history, it has been a common theme for all of our sports logos/outfits, and I just wish we would hold on tighter to it.

YEah!
How come no one stood up for Frat Pit? That was tradition!
They came for Frat Pit and I said nothing, etc etc etc
you can't say by that logic
and then engage in a slippery slope argument.
I’m not for abandoning all of our traditions, but something that has been around since the 70s and wasn’t a part of the first almost century of sports doesn’t seem like a rich tradition.
I think this is more like moving out of the Hearnes to go to Mizzou Arena, not giving up homecoming.

I just meant that acknowledging that the logo is a brand
that the changing of such is nowhere close to selling out and getting rid of all of our rich traditions.
We got rid of the tiger paw as our logo in like 99 or 2000. I don’t think by doing so we “sold out” or abandoned anything.

Oh, I know
I was a freshman when it happened. I think that is why the analogy works. People went crazy, the sky was falling, we had sold out, Alden should be tied to the columns and shot.
Then the logo came out and it turned out we still had the same traditions and the logo change didn’t even matter. By the time I was a senior, I don’t think anybody ever mentioned it again.

Altering tradition would be changing the base helmet color.
Not what’s on the helmet.
"When among evil companions, try to fit in." - Wild Bill Donovan
Rocky Balboa once told me, "Nothing is real if you don't believe in who you are."
Eh, seems like mixing tradition with "stuff we've done for a long time"
Tradition is painting the white M as a freshman, walking through the columns, singing our fight song… not a letter in a certain shape
False dichotomy much?
This isn’t a binary solution set. You can change some things and keep others the same. There’s also the fact that maintaining traditions only because they’re traditions is not a productive habit.

funny story
but in the 20’s, a member of the Canadian military come down to the US on “vacation” and wrote a detailed plan for a Canadian/British invasion. Basically it came down to burning Detroit and Buffalo to the ground, blow out the major bridges, then sit back and wait for the Royal Navy blockade to get us.
I don’t know how well that would have worked, but if you look at the US Highways, they are packed in the Northern states and New England, to counter a Canadian invasion.

This is how I think Jarts came about.

guy 1: This is fun but these horseshoes are tough to throw.
guy 2: Yeah I know they never stick in the ground.
guy 1; we need something pointy
guy 2: how about darts?
guy 1: is it safe to be throwing them at each other?
guy 2: We are throwing horseshoes at each other right now.

i've never understood making something the "official _______" of a state
what does this accomplish? Will more Floridians go to auto races if this happens?
It is typically lobbied for by students at a school (elementary through high school) as a means of showing how a bill becomes a law
It is typically non controversial, something that originated within the state, and does not carry any force. If memory serves, MO has the most “official x”s in the nation. I think this year they’re looking at making the “Jumping Jack” the official state exercise of Missouri due to John Pershing’s use of it to condition troops.

How? Not trying to be petty or devil’s advocate (punny!) but let’s look at it like this. My name is Miles. I am a person. What if I got offended that ever road sign that contained my name didn’t have it capitalized? Sounds silly right? If you believe, then you capitalized because it is your God. If you don’t, then you don’t capitalize because it is the word god you intend, not anything you believe in. It’s easier to just live and let live.

So apparently there may be some more good news about the Nevin Shapiro case?
Seeing as Allen is by far the most direct link between Shapiro and Miami, the former players, former coaches, and a few current players, his testimony is vastly important in the NCAA’s ongoing investigation. What Sean Allen ended up doing by the end of those three hours, was for better or worse clearing much of the Canes’ name, and giving the NCAA almost zero to work with when it comes to levying serious penalties.
To begin with, he stated that he had no knowledge of Shapiro ever giving $10,000 to basketball player DeQuan Jones. Interestingly enough, it was two days after Allen’s hearing that Jones was reinstated to the team, so clearly the NCAA is taking what he says to heart.
I'll take it!
