Kind of sad from our friends on Mizzou. Missouri’s third Big 12 road victory boosted it to 7-2 in the league standings, behind only unbeaten Oklahoma and Kansas. The Tigers have a two-game pad on their closest pursuer and seem as ready as they’ve been in years to take on Kansas in a big game Monday at Mizzou Arena. It was that type of thinking, of course, that had Anderson worried prior to the tip-off at Iowa State. “Everybody is talking about Big Monday,” Anderson said. “This was Big Saturday.” Now it is just fine to talk about Big Monday. Border War Monday. Kansas at Missouri. Inside a packed and loud-as-can-be Mizzou Arena. “Oh my God!” Lyons said in anticipation. “People thought they saw something when Baylor was there. This means more than the national championship to us.”

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Feb 8, 2009 -> 01:32 PM) Ok fine. The officials that work Big Ten games suck. That better? Yes, im content with that!

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Feb 8, 2009 -> 01:23 PM) I'm not blaming the refs for anything. I think it's pretty clear that all season the refs in the big ten have sucked. They don't call anything consistently from one game to the next, let alone one minute to the next. That's my complaint. And IMO Hummel is the most overrated player in the big ten. There are at least 10 guys in the league right now I'd rather have. Wake me up when Kansas actually plays (and wins a game against) someone good. There is no such thing as a Big 10 ref, they rotate. That is why all of us complain about Ed Hightower. I am not bragging about KU, i just think they would slaughter Illanoy.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Feb 8, 2009 -> 01:00 PM) Another national big ten game, another terrible job of officiating. The last three drives: jackson (and 1 - not a foul), frazier (a foul- no call) and mccamey (and 1 - not a foul). Just terrible. I'm not even asking for fouls to be called or not to be called, just a little consistency. Purdue and Illinois are essentially the same team. Good defensive teams with no go-to guy on the offensive end that can be a difference maker. It also hurts when the best defenders are no threat offensively (Frazier/Kramer), the bigs are too small to bang down low (tisdale/johnson), and the one player that can be a difference maker falls asleep a lot (mccamey/moore). Everyone else is just icing on the cake if they do something good. Please stop blaming the refs! Illanoy should be killing Purdue without Hummel. I would salivate having KU v Illanoy as a 4/5 matchup.

He gets posterized alot because he is always flopping.

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Feb 7, 2009 -> 06:08 PM) Dick Vitale is hardly a POS. He does some great things for cancer research, he's just a ridiculously bad broadcaster. As for UNC in the final 4, only if Tyler Zeller returns soon. Agreed, I meant his contribution to the sports broadcasting world is crap. He is definitely a good person. Roy with his own players in the tourney is never a good thing. I really think this is the kind of year where a George Mason can make a run to the final four. This season is an absolute crapshoot.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 7, 2009 -> 04:22 PM) I just got back from Taken. It's basically the prototypical revenge flick. I enjoyed it a lot and I'd recommend it. The only real flaw is that it was PG-13. This was most likely done to draw a larger audience, but it really would've benefited from an R rating. I am surprised it pulled a PG-13 rating.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Feb 7, 2009 -> 05:38 PM) Thats what he does. I expect nothing less from the man, thats all he knows. its too bad he doesnt realize that there are more than 2 college basketball teams in the world We all know he is a POS. Fact is I dont see Duke or UNC in the final four.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Feb 7, 2009 -> 05:17 PM) Stephen Curry, duh I guess, still strange. He is doing a good job of talking about the Duke v UNc game for the entire first half.

Why is Dukie V doing the Davidson v. COC game?

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 7, 2009 -> 02:02 PM) You got a dog to walk or hair to wash, I take it. Ha NO, KU played at the same time. KU now 8-0 in the big 12.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 7, 2009 -> 11:56 AM) Everyone can watch SIU suck @ Missouri State where we NEVER play well at, on ESPN2. no thanks

Saw Taken last night, quick and too the point. Maybe wait for the DVD though.

wait what is that, Ryne Sandberg tested positive. haha

QUOTE (zenryan @ Feb 7, 2009 -> 10:49 AM) Season on the Brink: The Miami Hurricanes Edition continues today at Duke. With Duke coming off a loss, I expect the refs to turn into little b****es for Coach K and let the crybaby get his way all afternoon. Hopefully we can stay within 10 and move forward after this game. A loss doesnt end our hopes but a win puts us back in the field of 34. There is no doubt the Refs will win this game for Duke.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Feb 6, 2009 -> 02:04 AM) I don't really care. I don't really understand the rivalry personally. There are tons of fans that make a huge deal out of anything Kansas. I've only been to one basketball game and none of the football games. The football games are when I'm in the Chicago area for Thanksgiving break. As for basketball, freshman year (the Moody game) I was on a date which went longer than expected and I deemed that more important lol and last year I just drove in from the end of the winter break and slept through the game. Shows how much I care, but you are right about the culture. We are Chicago boys, so we do not understand the hatred as much. There are some crazy haters on both sides, haha

s*** your right, god damn moody. I will always crap on Mizzou, and will continue to laugh at you guys who believe the game on Monday is your Super Bowl. Rock Chalk Champs!!

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Feb 5, 2009 -> 05:41 PM) And everyone knows how much of joke that selection was. WE know, but we love to rub it in. We have the best AD in the nation, he gets things done.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 5, 2009 -> 08:37 AM) dude, it's my senior year and the last time we beat you guys was when that white kid of yours missed 2 free throws to send us into overtime, and thomas gardiner was our star. But, also to be in the tourney too. God. Haa, before I had a college team, I used to think "with 64 teams, how the hell do you not make it in", and...it's hard to. You mean Sasha Kaun, and Thomas Gardner...big fan I see At least Mizzou got into a BCS game 2 years ago, oh wait.....that was Kansas Muck Fizzou

I think its channel 214, right next to NHL network

QUOTE (danman31 @ Feb 5, 2009 -> 12:42 AM) Obviously the Mizzou Kansas game is huge for who wins the North and gets the spot to the Big 12 title game. Oh wait, this isn't football. How does winning at basketball work? I grew up a Northwestern fan and Mizzou hasn't been to the postseason since I came here lol. haha. you do know that you also have to play at the nation's greatest arena, AFH. I see KU splitting with Mizzou this year, but Self is doing a wonderful job with thte nation's 12th youngest team and getting 75 percent of scoring from underclassmen.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Feb 4, 2009 -> 10:43 PM) A win against Iowa State on Saturday, and the game against KU becomes one of the biggest games in recent memory, at least my three years at Mizzou. I will be more pumped for this game than any other game. Besides the obvious rivalry, why so imporant. Mizzou basically clinched a tourney spot with that win tonight.

Is ND gonna make the tourney, talk about an overhyped ship sinking.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Feb 4, 2009 -> 08:52 PM) Duke looks like major ass right now. Martynas Potius or whatever the f*** is taking 3's from the corner that are hitting nothing but the side of the backboard. Like I said, athletic teams will give the Devils fits. Count on another 2 win and out tourny from Duke this year.. Haha, I remember when Pocious changed his commitment from KU to Duke, I was really pissed back then. Oh look ESPN is showing previews for UNC /Duke already, gag

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Feb 4, 2009 -> 02:53 PM) Would it be shady to make up a crazy totally untrue rumor on Soxtalk about some other team trading their best player for our worst player, and just completely play it up in the Diamond talk forum until MLBtraderumors picks up on it and posts it? I totally want to do that Do it. I cant believe we are picking up Matt Cain and Aaron Rowand for Wilson Betemit and Brian Anderson and a mystery minor leaue pitcher.
