Gotcha!

I'm a Chiefs fan, and the Chiefs have never won a basketball game, so I can't talk about basketball.

It just doesn't pass the sniff test. I know what he said, but I don't think that's what he meant.

In either event, I'm over it. I'd have thrown some serious coin at tickets to STL, but its water under the bridge at this point and the atmosphere in Columbia will be insane so I'll be okay.

Besides, I'm still sweating that Florida/VA matchup. I'm not going to start taking the Sweet 16 for granted here.

The S curve isn't perfect... it's obvious why they would want both Duke and Kentucky in Atlanta, and MU couldn't be in the East since OSU couldn't be in the West with MSU. There are oddities like that every year... I think a lot of that could have been solved by putting MSU in St. Louis and UNC in Phoenix, but maybe they didn't think one really deserved their region over the other, so they shipped them both. I think there's a pretty good give and take across the board, as far as seed and region.

So were they shoving about 1.2 million people into Memorial Stadium every Saturday? Afterall, I'm told that lousy television ratings are actually a sign of intense fan interest, so they must've been shoving all those Beaker-hungry football fans somewhere...

6th of the decade, actually. Considering it was 2 small market teams, I'd say that's pretty good. Anyone who watched that game would tell you it's an instant classic.

The debate isn't whether or not it was a good game. Wickedson is trying to say that it was a more significant game than a KU/MU matchup in the finals would be. In other words, it's just Wickedson being Wickedson.

Well A MU KU game Would mean more to the people round these parts. Who really gives a crap if the rest of the country likes it or not.

Potential recruits from parts outside the midwest who might be considering a school like MU.

Don't know much about him. But players from other parts of the country might look twice at MU when they come calling if they played KU in a final and it was hyped like it should be. Not saying it gives MU a leg up on other schools, but it can't hurt.

A Mizzou-Kansas title game would be p darn awesome

Well considering it will take a final four appearance for them to meet, I’m guessing Frank would take his chances on this somehow hurting MU’s recruiting.

Ha!

Okay, so my friends and I have been having the "SEC Championship or Final 4" debate the last couple of weeks. Now I think it's time for an even tougher question:

If going to the Final 4 meant that we lost to Kansas, who would then go on to win the Championship, whereas losing in the Sweet 16 meant that KU lost to St. Mary's, would you still want the Final 4?

Good lord, man - the losing to Kansas would almost definitely take all the starch out of making it there, wouldn't it? And once they won the title on top of that, it would just be pissing all over our bowl of soggy cornflakes wouldn't it?

Honestly - I think I'd rather just not make the Final 4 than to go to it and lose to Kansas. The hell would never end.

I'd take the final four ...then we could always hang it over ku's head that they never would have won the 2012 championship had we not agreed to it on a bulletin board
