MIZZOU ST

Missouri has every right to defend the 'Mizzou' moniker; it is a trademarked nickname that appears on a huge portion of Tigers apparel. Oh, and it's the name of the freakin' arena.

If I were in the administration, I'd pitch a fit if I saw anyone calling SMS 'Mizzou State.'

Also, calling SMS that makes no sense; the state is not referred to as Mizzou; the only thing referred to by that name is the university SMS is attempting to compete with.

If I was the AD at MU, no matter how good—or bad—the basketball team is, I'd never schedule a game against a in-state rival in the same classification (i.e., UMKC, SLU, SMS)... there's nothing to gain and everything to lose in that situation.

It always will be SMS to me... and I can't wait to that POS Blunt go down in flames in ’08...
