Your stupid comments stand on their own merits. Mizzou didn't play hard enough on defense in a game where they gave up 22 points at halftime, took a 35 point lead, and cleared the bench with six minutes left.

He's just a poor, misunderstood Beaker.

That's all they ever are.

Please accept my apologies for any personal attacks that I've made towards anyone in this thread. Clearly, I've stepped over a line somewhere to warrant some of the comments directed at me.

Fun game to watch! So pumped for Mizzou right now. The D looked really good last night.

Gave up more than 64 points.

Pants assures me that the defense, therefore, must've been dogshit.

I'm learning a lot from the Beakers these days.

For sure, I didn't realize how uneducated I was on BB. Thank god they are here for us, now if we could figure out how to get everyone to foul out.....

And law. And psychology. And Sociology.

You have no idea how helpful these guys have been of late.

Helen Keller could say the sky was green, and some of you would spend 3 months posting pictures of the sky and talking about how all women had assured you the sky was green.

No complex at all...

If Hellen Keller went around telling people with sight that the sky was green, we would all know that she was a Jayhawk fan.

My take so far
Home cookin' cost KU the game
KCC is still a cry baby
We are in no way the better team despite ranking, record, and H2H
We don't care about BB
Even more KU does not care about MU
Players need more fouls (works in Jr. high girls BB)
In no way shape or form should we get any excitement out of our team, we need to act like we have been there.
And we are going to get stomped at AFH

And you point is?

You may now flip your tassel to the other side of your hat. You have graduated.

Hard work and determination pays off in the end, whooo hooooo

You can get your masters in stupidity if you put together a thesis from the KU/MU thread and the newest conference re-alignment thread.

Really, this thread amounts to little more than an associates degree in Beaker Madness.

You seem awfully sensitive to how posters are reacting to his post.

Just tackling this one now, Quality time with family is going to suffer.

Fouling for the sake of fouling is always, ALWAYS a good decision. Use 'em or lose 'em!

I think that's their new thing.

They say something insanely stupid, refuse to retract it, dig in harder on it, then call you obsessed when you don't let it go immediately despite their continued defense of whatever idiocy they have presented.

I'm not sure how it works, but using my trusty "Beaker to Labrador" conversion table, I think it's akin to yelling at a dog after it bites you when you won't stop kicking it.

"{kick/bite} Goddamn dog - why do you keep biting me?! {kick/bite}"

I had a neighbor once whose labrador ate its own turds. Do beakers do that?

Just peck the corn out

I had one of those. Put a bullet in it's head and saved 100's of beaker's lives.

Oooh, can I play?

Missouri has consistently been ranked in the top 25 in both football and basketball in the past decade.
Basketball is a secondary sport; Missouri fans don't care.
Missouri's B game beat KU's A game in Columbia.
Complaining about the refs after questionable calls against the team you root for is inexcusable, but complaining about calls in a game that didn't involve the team you root for is fine.
Kansas losing in the tournament brings elation to Missouri fans that would be comparable to Missouri winning a National Championship.
Kansas is like one missed basket away from being a complete disappointment for the past 25 years.

That's only off the top of my head though... :hmmm:

Depends, do they want to eat the turds, or do they need to eat the turds?

Wait...I forgot, the distinction appears lost on them. So I would have to assume that yes - Beakers eat their own poop.

1. I'm not sure how that's bad. Is it not true?

2. Basketball is a secondary sport. I'd rather be better in football, but I wouldn't say that I don't care about basketball. It's fun to root for a team that's winning. I hope I never get to a point where winning is so expected that it's no longer exciting.

3. Insufficient knowledge to comment.

4. Insufficient knowledge to comment.

5. Yawn. Were you not elated whenever Denver got trampled in the playoffs this year?

6. According to several KU fans, nothing matters outside of the tournament. You're expected to do well, and then you lose to teams that are not considered to be very good. Are you not disappointed when that happens?

(I'm just picking on you with #6.)

FTR, I think Braincase's post was taken the wrong way. Of course, to not think so would be to believe that he was complimenting the Tigers on their play, which is difficult for people to do, since so many KU fans have been in here to "educate" MU fans on what it means to be good or the proper way to act when we win. This is evidenced by the fact that two of the top four posters in this thread are KU fans.

Anyway, if it was a compliment, then thank you, Braincase. If not, then I don't see what going on the defensive is all about.

Don't worry, he's not getting banned.

Thanks, luv. I've come to accept that because I'm a Jayhawk fan, in the eyes of some I will always be a pompous, sanctimonius prick that teaches kids to elbow other kids in the jaw as a matter of course. Everybody is entitled to think what they want, and distill what they want from my posts. Perception becomes reality. I'm not too worried about it.

Heh, everything I posted was an opinion of one or very few Missouri fans, which I don't attribute to the fan base at all, so there's really no reason to defend any of it. It's like if one or a few KU fans here said they don't care about the rivalry, there would be no reason for MU fans to mock it every time a KU fan posts anything remotely related to MU... err.

But, if you were really looking for answers.... #1 is not even close to being true (the original comment was something along the lines of "both sports have consistently ended the season in the top 25 over the past decade"... but, it's happened like 4 or 5 times combined).

#5 - No, it was expected. And even when it's not expected (see 2006, when the Chiefs needed the Broncos to lose at home to the lowly 49ers on the last day of the season), it's a great moment, but nothing more. Honestly, when that kind of stuff happens (such as MU losing to Iowa in the Insight Bowl), I'm more surprised than anything... and that's probably the first time I've mentioned that loss since it happened. I'm not saying it's wrong to be happy when a rival loses, it's just not something I get overly excited about or hang my hat on or buy t-shirts over.

#6 - I don't know who those KU fans would be, and I completely disagree that it's all that matters. Of course there's disappointment in those years, but the point was that the past 25 years hasn't solely been about one NC and a bunch of disappointment. They've played to their seed several times, but all of that gets overshadowed by a couple of years when KU was overrated and a couple of other big upsets.

:spock:

Why are you posting all of this in an MU thread?

Is it really that hard to follow? It only goes back like 20 posts. People were talking about KU, I joined in on the fun, luv responded to me, I responded to her, and here we are.

I'm not making a flowchart.

He's simply responding to me. That's not even the best example of a "WTF is this doing in here?" post. There was a moment a night or two (hell, maybe three) ago where I thought I accidentally clicked on the KU repository thread.

KU fan posting here because??? I can’t leave work for another 2 hours?

Uh nice game, MU played very well. For the MU fans complaining that KU was getting all the calls VS KSU MU again got the calls in excess of 2-1 in their favor last night and guess what? Like 99 % of the time it didn’t have squat to do with who won the game. While either team certainly could stumble there is no reason for either KU or MU to lose another conference game except the one yet to be played in Lawrence. I am hoping for a KU win (ok I want “To crush MU, see them driven before us, and to hear the lamentation of their women.) and then I hope to see them play one more time in the Big 12 tournament. I am going to miss this.

You saw calls that were missed?

Rod's cool. He's definitely not a troll. Plus he has the added bonus of being married to a Mizzou fan.

:evil:

OSU shot 46 percent last night....back to the drawing board on D I guess :whackit:

I guarantee that number was lower before the final 6-7 minutes when Missouri put in several walkons.

What the **** did I do?

Quit ****ing crying about it. :D

Keitzman had a caller today complain about the number of fouls on Missouri last night. K.'s sidekick made the comment that the number indicates that Missouri was not trying to defend hard enough. Being lazy

Wasn't me.

Still a stupid theory.

Missouri's perimeter defense last night was as good as anyone in the nation.

Did you see the game as not being officiated correctly?

No, why?


MU's guards were great on defense last night. They kept OSU pushed out away from the 3 point line.

Their defense played great.

Just was strange people bringing it up. It never crossed my mind during the game

It was a blow out and there was no reason to foul. Why stop the clock when they were having their way with them. Just a solid game all around for MU

:evil: giving you some shit.

Hey, I can't be held accountable for something I posted three years ago to the day! Besides, it's Whitlock that originally thought the 2008 Missouri football team was a fraud. I just thought Daniel was a choker.

LOL! Can't do it on my phone, someone please post a link to the article titled Charting the Fouls. It's on the front page of kansascity.com right now. Hilarity should ensue.

Yes we know Missouri gets all the calls. /validated

It's over here in the cool kids thread. ;)

http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showt...43389&page=277

LMAO

Don't be so hurt, man. Your defense is ranked #60 in the country per Kenpom. I wasn't trying to talk shit when I brought that fact up a few days ago, I was simply trying to explain to ezbait how you guys got manhandled by K-State while we took care of business, that's all.

I figured since the entire internet didn't explode this morning it hadn't been posted yet. If anything was validated its obviously how lazy Mizzou is on D.

They're quick and a great shooting team but lack size and their defense suffers from old Roy wont too.

Foul differential home vs away

MU +7.14
KU +7.29

KU still has a bigger home court advantage this season.

Texas has the biggest home court advantage at +8.64.


All of this is pretty meaningless without knowing how many foul worthy plays these teams make at home. If K-State is committing 45 foul worthy plays at home and getting called for 19, then that is a bigger advantage than a school that is committing 25 and getting called for 15.

I don’t think I have ever watched a game where quite a few calls were not missed. Much like if we follow the letter of the rules there would be a holding call on virtually every play in football. I’m just messing with those that think KU is winning games due to some officiating conspiracy. I do find the Foul differential interesting on the home vs. road posed by Beer Bacon. Likewisey one would think due to the difference in preference for inside vs. outside scoring that KU would have been fouled substantially more often than MU over the course of the season but, I don’t care enough to take the time to add them up.

Beaker fans lining up their excuses already

Mizzou draws a lot of charges, so it might be pretty close. I would guess that Kansas draws more fouls on offense, but Mizzou closes the gap by drawing fouls on defense.

Oh, cool. Another thing I just learned from that thread is that the ku/MU rivalry isn't actually a rivalry. Interesting.

Tickets for the last game at AFH against a non-rival start at $600.

KU is such a dominant power that they have no earthly rivals. They merely come down from the mountaintop to indulge mere mortals by playing them. KU's rivals are the gods of basketball themselves.

But KU does not care. Since Mizzou is the obsessed team, it will be interesting to see if more KU fans don't sell off their tickets for profit....after all, this game means nothing to them.

LMAO

It's a school rivalry for sure. As far as sports go, basketball is about the opposite of a rivalry, while football is the definition of one.

Butthurt as hell, man.

Interesting considering that Kansas has never finished ahead of Mizzou in Big XII football. Can the opposite be said about basketball?

Is that how rivalries are defined? We just have a different definition, I think. Can you please give me a clear definition of what you think a rivalry is? Is it the number of higher conference standings? I'm honestly curious.

Are you claiming that Mizzou and KU do not have a rivalry in basketball, yet they do in football? :spock:

I'd love to hear your explanation.

I think it's a rivalry in both sports. Saying otherwise is stupid.

The most expensive ticket to AFH for a conference game every year is the Mizzou game, and vice versa. Not sure how you can say football is a bigger rivalry when KU brought 11 fans to the last game (ever) between the two teams.

56-55-9 is a rivalry.
171-95 is ownership.

:shrug:

Series records.

So glad to be leaving the Big XII.

Sarcasm, man.

Those numbers are arrogant.

You were sarcastically being sarcastic? Whoa... my mind is blown.

National championship lines are out.

Kentucky is the favorite at 2:1

Ohio State is next at 5:1

Mizzou, Kansas, Carolina, and Syracuse are all 8:1

2:1? Holy shit.

Your response shows what a gimmick the tourney really is. The best team in the country has a 50-50 shot at winning the title, and that seems ridiculously high.

I'd bet against them winning it.

Let's say Kentucky has a 100% chance of winning in the first and second rounds and a 90% chance of winning each game until the final four and an 80% chance each game after that (all preposterously high). They would still be only slightly better than a coin flip to win the whole thing.

If you give them only 99% in the first round and 98% in the second, it's 50%.

Yeah, that's way too high for UK. They're the best team in the NCAA, but their chances of winning will be pretty much equivalent to any other #1 seed. The tournament equalizes things.

A single elimination tournament will seldom give you the best overall team as the winner, when you have to win what 6 games in a row?

It happens but not very often. Hell I'd argue that the NFL doesn't give you the two best teams in the Final.

MLB and the NBA, having best of series, IMO are the best way to get a true champion.

In all honesty the BCS does a pretty damn good job of giving us the 2 best teams over a 4 month stretch.
