Football The flawed logic of Mizzou fans - Page 9

Sam Hall · 10-05-2008, 08:31 AM

You say tradition doesn't matter, yet you're so excited about ending your 30-year losing streak in Lincoln.

You say Bo Pelini sucks, yet Gary Pinkel was 9-14 during his first two seasons at Mizzou. Many Mizzou fans wanted him fired.

Something doesn't add up.

I'm not crying in my beer over Nebraska's loss last night. I told you how the game would unfold. I don't feel your pain. You can't get it all back in two years.

Tradition is the reason you're so excited. You want what Nebraska, Texas and Oklahoma have. You are getting a small taste of it. A national title and a Heisman this season would only be one step. You must sustain similar success over decades.

I think Kansas State and Colorado have more tradition than Mizzou. K-State recently won a conference title. Colorado has a national title and a Heisman.

Pelini will need several seasons to turn around the program - just like Gary Pinkel and Mark Mangino needed. Nebraska has no talent on either side of the ball. The defense isn't fast enough to blitz effectively. The offense is overrated, and the play calling sucks. I hate some of their pass plays.

It's a process. Instant gratification wasn't going to happen. You know that from your own experience.

Last year's Huskers gave up and made tons of mistakes. This year's Huskers make mistakes because they're too aggressive. I'll take the aggression.

Callahan never would've apologized to the state like Pelini did last night.

Think about the things I have mentioned here.

What world-wide religion considers playing for Nebrasaka a holy calling?

They're both in the top three all-time in wins. Nebraska beat the four horsemen.

How many recruits know that?

How many have seen Rudy?

How many are Catholic?

As for me whining? You didn't see what I was saying all week. I thought Mizzou would win big. Nebraska will only win three more games this season.

MU has broken it's losing streak in Lincoln. I would think we crave a win against everyone we play. It's just that, from now on, we know NU will be a cupcake.

My favorite part of this thread is where the bitter KU fan piggybacks on the sour grapes eating Nebraska fan to get a shot in at Mizzou. A thing of beauty.

As far as Nebraska losing its tradition? Every powerhouse has gone through an extended tough period. Mizzou fans wouldn't know. Tradition can't be lost. For example, just because Notre Dame is losing doesn't mean their tradition is gone. Nebraska and Notre Dame are on similar levels historically.

The traditional powerhouses never leave the spotlight, win or lose.

Mizzou fans don't worry about tradition because it will take them a long time to develop it.

You started this shit with this lame thread, and you're making yourself look silly throwing wild haymakers with these "tradition" and 'history" references. Nebraska got EMBARRASSED last night, and it wasn't even as close as the 52-17 shows. And we realize you're having a hard time dealing with not only that, but the realization that Nebraska has a long road to walk to get close to the "tradition" you are so holding on to. Have your "tradition"; remeber those teams. Me, I look forward to the tradition that is to come for Missouri.

I love how nebraska fans still think the huskers matter.

Flawed logic? How's this for serene logic:

The scoreboard says you're our bitches now, Nebraska.

It's all they have in sports. The Huskers were so dominant for so long, there are literally generations of Nebraska fans that have no idea how they can lose.

Your homefield is as great as Arrowhead now, congrats!

It's great how you lump your team in with Oklahoma and Texas so as to piggyback on their success by associating your team with theirs. It's like a Royals fan saying that the Twins crave success against the Yankees, Red Sox, and Royals.

I guarantee that Oklahoma and Texas don't consider you to be on their level any more than the Yankees and Red Sox consider the Royals to be on their level.

Mizzou does crave victories against Texas and Oklahoma. Victories against those teams are what turn great teams into National Champions. We don't crave victories against Nebraska. We assume them.

Nebraska is in danger of losing an entire generation of fans.

Also, your tradition didn't keep Blaine Gabbert and Dan Hoch in Nub land.

When I think of all time embarrassing threads I think of:Russ calling Hel'n's son's school.

I think of:Kotter's fake drunkenness.

Usually a poster only has one real doozy.

I think of An Open Letter To Bill Callahan.

And now this thread. Congrats Samwise, you've broken new ground.
