Oso planning to go pro
Agree, and agree.But I do get that they are competitors who love football and want to play.
Mizzou is feeling itself at 7-1. We got into the car after dinner and the post game radio show was on the station we had on. The host was talking about how "Georgia will not be an easy one." Gee, ya think? The team that has won 24 straight games, 40 of 41 games, and the last 2 national titles won't be an easy game for the Mizzou Tigers?
I guess I don't get it. Mizzou may very well get thumped by a million at Georgia. No one would be surprised at that. But a) why not enjoy it and b) seems like a mundane comment that the next game is challenging. What is the host suppposed to say? They have no chance, don't tune into the game in two weeks? Last year's game was a competitive game for them v Georgia, when Mizzou led by 10 in the 4th quarter, got too conservative and ran out of gas, losing 26-22 on a late 4th quarter td. And their team is better this year. So of course they feel encouraged. Again that doesn't mean it will be a close or good game. It may not be.They reached 7-1 on their homecoming, and they are probably a little frustrated they let the LSU game slip away late. But that seems pretty fun. I know their newer AD (big upgrade) is pretty excited about selling out all of their games and having another facilities master plan announcement coming up in November. This is after opening up their 2nd indoor football facility this past Summer. They haven't had this much fun since Gary Pinkel went to 5 of 7 conference title games over 2 leagues, before he stepped down after his cancer diagnosis.If it was their postgame, I know their long time pxp guy, Mike Kelly. He's in the Sean McDonough mold of broadcasting. He's also pretty.level headed. They will certainly be challenged playing UGA and UT back to back and they could lose both.But 10-2, 9-3 type of season is pretty good and fun for many schools. Last year jiust under 50% of the final top 25 had at least 3 losses.
Plus some of them are getting a pretty good salary.
Who said anything otherwise about any of this?"The next game won't be easy" seems to be understating things, just a bit. But hey, that's just my opinion. Sorry if that comes off as a slight to this great state of Missouri.
I'm just responding to your post. I didn't hear the comment. You didn't provide a link to it. Any team can be the example. Although I'm.sure responses would come quick if i had used Wisconsin as an example. I'm not sure what a better choice of words would have been in your example? Seems spot on to me.I also think you are projecting here. I believe you live (unhappily?) in Columbia, MO, yes? (I am not someone that calls it CoMo) I did eventually receive your message asking if I knew that area. I went a very long time here forgetting to check private messages. I do try check them now more often. if you take your comment here, and your recent one about custard, etc...maybe it's more about you living there than about me. You can always relocate if you are unhappy there. I'm willing to bet it was a pretty good time there this past weekend. I've had some good times in Madison too, and many other places.
Enjoying Columbia quite a bit. I just have no problem when someone says something about a city in a state that I live in that isn't even a shot at the city or the state. I've never seen someone be so quick to defend every single thing that has to do with their favorite state as you. I'm not even knocking the football team, the excitement around the program, etc. The extreme offense you take to anything that isn't, "Mizzou is in MO, so it's the greatest athletic program ever created" is wild. And then you act like you're being persecuted when someone is like, "Holy smokes that's an overreaction buddy" to your novel responses.I do wish they had better custard here, for sure.
It doesn't seem like you are enjoying yourself. Again you are projecting here and you are reading tone that isn't there. My comment couldn''t have been more relaxed and matter.of fact. My simple question was what would have been a better thing to.say? A place that doesn't win often is winning and enjoying themselves. And they said the next game.wouldm't be easy. I talk about a lot of geographies here. But only one seems.to get posts like this. I wonder why that is.
Maybe because of threads like this where you have numerous posts defending the state of Missouri from innocuous comments.
I talk about a lot of geographies here. But only one seems.to get posts like this. I wonder why that is.
Yeah. I wonder.
There's life out there beyond the tribe.
Says the dude who felt compelled to respond to a post from two days ago that otherwise received no traction.
I don't post hoping for traction or for what interests you or anyone else.
And almost immediately stating someone had a differing opinion because they were unhappy with their own life, makes a snide remark about CoMo which I imagine was something Wades said in his PM, and then suggests he should move. Just wild.Also, not sure about that random Sean McDonough comparison. Comparing the voice of Mizzou who has never worked outside of the state to a guy who has called nearly every major sport outside of soccer and is top 3 most accomplished living broadcasters because they are both level headed is wonderful homerism.Kudos to Mizzou for taking advantage of a favorable early schedule. Being in the SEC East (even though they are the 3rd most western school in the conference ) helps. But to Drinkwitz's credit, they've not really had "bad losses" since he's arrived in CoMo, they largely beat teams they should and its a toss up in closer matchups. Thats not a bad blueprint for a building a program early on in a tough conference
You are wildly successful in that regard.
I'm not performing for an audience. I'm not trying to be one of the fellas.I post about what interests me. If others are interested too and have something positive or interesting to share, great. If not that's great too.I thought that's how everyone else posted too. How does that work for you? Do you plan what posts you think will obtain engagement? That sounds like a lot of work and a lot of social validation.
I just gave you a compliment. You are accomplishing your goals!
I didn’t take it as an insult. I think your feelings are hurt.
You're projecting!Everybody's projecting except Yadi's cousin.
Then you ramble on about Mizzou's schedule, their coach, lol. None of that stuff interests me.
