****OFFICIAL BRAGGIN' RIGHTS GAME THREAD****

[eazyb81]

Mizzou's basketball team is currently ranked #25 in the country, and it's the first time we've been ranked in years. However, this game is really a make or break one for us, because many fans will jump right back off the bandwagon if we don't beat the hated Illini tonight.

We haven't beaten Illinois in the Braggin' Rights game since 1999 - an astonishing 8 game losing streak. However, under CMA the last two years, we've lost by a combined 4 points.

Let's get a win tonight! If not, let's at least tackle Chief Illiniwek!!!

Wouldn't surprise me. Everyone was tired of old school Norm. Wanted the "sexy pick"... the bright young assistant.

"Kansas coach Bill Self is in the house, a haunting and taunting presence considering all that's gone wrong for Missouri's basketball program since 1999. That's when Self lost out to Quin Snyder at the wire in the first coaching search conducted - some would say flubbed - by Missouri director of athletics Mike Alden. "
