I don't have a problem with the trolls coming in after the loss...Mizzou lost, and it is what it is. What I will disagree with is that KU fans somehow take the high road when their bitter rival loses (We are above that, we don't care, yada yada yada). Mizzou's loss made KU fans happy....that is okay, and good for them. Just don't lie about it KU fans, admit it. Mizzou fans admit that they get some joy when KU loses. I get joy when KU loses...not enough to go buy a Bucknell tshirt or anything extreme like that, but merely a smile or two.
R8ers cheers for UNC and hates Duke. He admits he hates Duke, admits he loves to see them lose. Duke fans openly hate Carolina and cheer against them. I have no problem with that. Most Mizzou fans on this board feel that way about KU, and we admit it. Most KU fans in general hate Mizzou, but for whatever reason, just can't be honest and admit it. If anyone doubts it...look at how many times Wickedson has posted in here bashing MU, and look at how many times he has said he does not care.

A big difference this time was the karma factor... not to say KU fans wouldn't have been happy or celebrated anyway, but it's not just about Missouri losing, it's about years of 'B' team jokes, UNI, VCU, etc. Also, no one expected this, so it's definitely closer to KU losing to Bucknell than Bradley or VCU
The high road stuff goes both ways, and it is pretty strange... reading some of the reactions to KU fans celebrating and what not, it's like Missouri fans have completely forgotten about all the crap they fling every time Kansas loses in the tournament. You think this sucks? Do it 3 or 4 more times, then the sides will be even.
Anyway, as far as loving it when rivals lose... I was actually looking forward to watching Missouri match up against Florida and Marquette... 'merely a smile or two' is a good way to put it. I wasn't dancing around in my living room, and I think that video of the KU alum was a bit much, but yeah, I wasn't heartbroken. ;)
