Just curious

Ners, do yourself a favor and just put him on ignore like everybody else.

Last year's team was also on the ropes until MU won three straight road overtime games. Butler hit two game winning shots that year. Hayward had his strengths and also had weaknesses. Hayward was more likely to force a shot and if he was shut down on the inside he would start jacking threes. I think this team would have been better if DJO averaged two less shots and Butler averaged two more.

What makes you think Ners has everyone else on ignore?

While we sometimes disagree, I'm personally just not one for the universal ignore. It seems to me that people use message boards for two primary reasons. The first is to gain information and engage in civil discourse. The second is to reinforce their own viewpoint. I like to see myself as the former. Don't get me wrong, I like thinking I'm right, but if someone else thinks otherwise, I'd rather hear it than put my fingers in my ears and shout "I can't hear you!"

I agree with you on this.  I know we've disagreed in the past--but you don't turn every disagreement into a personal attack, and I appreciate that.

What I can't understand the the hit-and-run nature of some of theses posts.  The preceding interaction on the comparative match-ups with Stanford versus Missouri is a perfect example.  Ners wanted to make the argument that the only reason someone would say Stanford is a tougher matchup than Missouri was because he wants to believe I hate Buzz. 

I replied with what I thought was a rational, factual basis for my opinion. I am also open to hearing his argument--yet when I asked for his reasoning that Missouri was just as tough a matchup as Stanford, there's no reply.
