Why is this Missouri's Super Bowl

[Dugout DickStone]

Between DeArmond obsessing over Jake's comments and all the MU fans treating this game like it is a Final 4 game...I don't get it.

For either team, a win in this game could mean the 2nd seed in the Big 12 tournament, would nearly lock it up for us.  The loser (especially for MU) could fall to 5th and be playing on Wednesday in Kansas City.  More to lose for MU, but we could still fall.

I guess but aren't all games against conf foes this time of year important?  mu seems to be obsessed with KSU.

their jealousy over the fact that we are #6 and they beat us?

True.  I think they do obsess with us.  But I guess if we had never been to a Final 4 in our history, we might obsess about other programs that have too.

yeah, it's pretty logical.  they've had an almost identical season as kstate and can't even crack the top 25.  meanwhile america is head over heels in love with emaw.  a little obsession seems normal.

I think the national preception that Anderson is a little "shady" and will cut corners hurst them too.

As well as the national perception that they're ugly, love meth and slavery, and hate puppies.

I mean, they're just not very lovable.

Better question: If MU's school of journalism is so good, why are the DeArmonds bros so terrible?
