I'm amazed that their strength of schedule is so high. They must give Illinois and Nebraska a lot of credit for their 3-2 records?

I am surprised that KU is so low considering they played Iowa State.

KU has actually played a team that is still ranked. MU...not yet.

and lost.......

By 3 points...on the road...due to one horrible Q.

KU isn't a top 10 team, though, and nobody thought they would be. So that loss isn't entirely surprising, nor does it make or break our season.

you don't have a season to make or break......not enough cupcakes to get you to a bowl this year.....

Yeah...we'll never win the necessary two more games to get to a bowl.

Is that all you've got? You LOST! ROFL

I was talking about the strengths of our schedules, not who is a better team. That's obviously MU.

going to be tough........and you will not impress the bowls with any wins this year......

Bahaha.

Hmmm...so this playing and losing to a ranked team, So. Florida with SOS of 50 is better than playing and beating a now non-ranked team Illinois with a SOS of 10. I see your point, now STFU.

really.....what game will be an impresive win this year...map out your road to a bowl game and what bowl.......got my popcorn and am sitting back to read this tall tail...

Because that's exactly what I wrote.

Any upset over the four ranked teams left on the schedule would be very impressive wins. We don't need to win any of those games to be in a bowl, though.

It would be an upset to beat anyof those teams..not going to happen...come on give us your game by game prediction.....and how high of a bowl....

How do you know it won't happen? It's unlikely, yes, but upsets happen all the time.

OK, I see. Now STFU.

Maybe the same idiots who handed out last year's BCS bowl invites are calculating the SOS and MU finally figured out who to pay...

Texas Tech at home looks like a possible upset to me. KU, when going well, has the offense that can keep up with them. But we'll see, won't we?

Don't get upset that KU's athletic director knows how to play the game.

He certainly plays it better than his players, doesn't he?

Does he have knee pads? ROFL

We've had 2 losses in the last 18 games, and proved ourselves by winning the Orange Bowl last season over VT. I'd say the players are doing pretty well, wouldn't you?

Sure.

Perhaps later I'll go challenge some 5th graders to a fight and give them a good old Kansas ass whipping. :whackit:

Since you guys only beat us by a TD last year, what does that make you....7th graders?

OK, stop. One of the committee members for the Orange Bowl was quoted as saying that the Orange Bowl wanted teams with no more than one loss. When pressed, the guy would not comment on whether the thought KU was the team to take over Missouri, or if they deserved to be there, just that they wanted teams with just one loss. Your AD didn't play any game or have dick to do with getting the Orange Bowl. Kansas pulled an Ohio State and benefitted by not having to play in the conference championship game, period.

All I know is that it makes Mizzou better than Kansas in 2007.

Yeah, but you were the home team. ROFL

Anyway, this thread wasn't about the past. So STFU

Yes, we did beat you, didn't we?

I'm glad you haven't forgotten.

Sure, that's what they said. Kind of a pretty lame and illogical explanation, though, don't you think?

I'm not denying that, but again, it has nothing to do with what I wrote.

Absolutely. It makes no sense to take a team from a conference that can't even make it's own championship game and put them in a BCS game. I'm assuming they thought they were getting a "better" team just because they had one loss. Like I said - KU pulled an Ohio State.

Coaches Poll MU 2 > KU 15
AP Poll MU 3 > KU 16

MU SOS 4 > KU SOS 64

That is all.

Unlike you, I don't believe everything I hear. It's naive to believe there weren't any backroom politics. That's the way these bowls work.

Oh shit!

/thread

I find it amazing that you are now defending KU's invite to the Orange Bowl was due to backroom politics and not based on how they played. Really, I think you should give up and take a break.:doh!:

This isn't secondhand stuff I'm telling you. It came directly from the mouth of one of the Ornage Bowl committee members. They wanted a team with one loss. That is why Missouri didn't play for the Orange Bowl.

That should be all. I have no clue why we're arguing with someone who's only argument is that they made it to the Orange Bowl last year. WTF does that have to do with this year?

This thread is very close to my first 100 post thread! Oh so close, lets keep it up!:D

Edit: Didn't realize it made it already! We can stop now!

This thread really went to hell.

Scoreboard, Orange Bowl, fraud, Orange Bowl, Oklahoma this year, Oklahoma last year, turf picture, National Championship, scoreboard.



Mizzou was better than Kansas last year. Mizzou is better than Kansas this year. Kansas won the Orange Bowl last year. Mizzou will more than likely win a BCS bowl this year.

Can't we all just forget our differences and laugh at Nebraska in unison?

True.

I think some KU fans need to come down to reality. Missouri is a great football team. IMO, LSU and Missouri were the two best teams in the country last year but Missouri just couldn't find a way to beat Oklahoma. It happens. Missouri is better than Kansas this year. They just are. Kansas was alot closer to Missouri last year than this year. If anything, I think we are overrated a little bit this year, whereas last year KU was underrated. That #7 year end rating we had after beating #3 VA TECH in the Orange Bowl was a crock of shit.

Yeah. Let's all go watch Sam Hall as he weeps quietly to himself in a corner while mumbling incoherently about tradition.

Indeed we can!

Ha. Ha.

I think i hate nebraska even more cause of him....

I have a friend that is a huge Nebraska fan and he wouldn't pull that tradition shit out of his ass....he'd be poed at his team.

Brutal.

MU deserved to be there over KU. I've never once denied that.

That's what makes it all the more satisfying and hilarious to me.

I know. I read the same thing you did. That doesn't mean I believed him.

Not until Frazod stops going on illogically about KU being a fraud.

Ha Ha!!


See, now don't we all feel a little better about ourselves and the college football team we follow? Life is a little better when we can forget who burned down which town, who benefited from slavery, which school has zero sports tradition, and who may or may not be homosexual. We can stand tall from Lawrence to Columbia, look North, and say: "Isn't karma a bitch?"

Well said! :clap:

What are you talking about? What came from the mouth of the OB Committee member?

Yep. Nothing more satisfying than winning a fixed fight. Maybe professional wrestling is more your speed.

I hope Misery stays this high once they lose and then the tears will flow.

ANd to the guys talkin smack to frazod. Dont let him bother you. He is just a lonely, bitter old fatass living in Naperville. His life sucks completely. IF MIsery doesnt win the National TItle his life is over. He will probably die of heart diease or something soon.ROFL

dick



i was gonna say something nice about moo town but it suddenly slipped my mind. i hope the whole town of columbia comes down with anal warts.

Yes. And to priove it I'll post a pic of SamWise Hall from national TV when Colorado destroyed NU in 99.

He grew up to be this "kid"

Well, at least ONE Missouri team has an up side. :)

Mizzou should be number1

Amen.

I'm as big a Mizzou guy as anybody and therefore, I hate Kansas. Period.

But to be honest, I was happy for KU when they hung 70 on Nebraska last year. Hell, every old Big 8 team, with the possible exception of Oklahoma, deserves to hang 70 on the Huskers.

This.

LMAO

Well, I'm not going to.

Kill yourself.

I was thinking today that Texas is in the position to knock off two #1 ranked teams in consecutive weeks.

Sure hope they fail though.

I love my Tigers, but OU still looks like #1 to me.

*Sigh*

Such an ignorant douche.

Yes, you are, but I try not to hold it against you.

Well, that's a lie.

Yep. I hope MU can beat OSU and Texas in the upcoming weeks

OU is definetly worthy of being #1

That's because when you actually BEAT the ranked team, they fall in the rankings.
