I never thought about this. But MU's win over KU in 2007 is the greatest win they've ever had. I can't think of another.

Maybe beating OU at home that year. Other then that is has to be the KU win.

I think going to Stillwater and shitting all over Dez Bryant and Company was better than both of those wins.

Nebraska had it coming and it was nice to score more on them that any other team in the history of the sport. It was a symbolic dismantling greater than any win Nebraska ever had over KU and the program still has never recovered.

KSU was fun and tremendously exciting with a game packed full of NFL stars but I give the nod to the OSU game.

Obviously beating Virginia Tech in the BCS was the best win of the year.

If Missouri wins the Big 12 title that year and then plays for the national title? Yes, you can put it up there.

But with the way that season worked out, it is less important than winning the Orange Bowl, winning the Sugar Bowl, or beating Nebraska in 2003.

That 2003 win is the linchpin of the Pinkel era at Mizzou. I'd argue that without that win, nothing that we've seen Mizzou accomplish since comes to fruition.

TambaBerry 02-09-2014 08:12 PM
I'll admit I was hoping mu and a and m would do well in the sec. It just proves how good the big 12 is.

I was at the 2003 Neb game, as well as the 07 KU game and the one we beat #1 Oklahoma. The Nebraska win was the cream of the crop for me.

You think KU beating Nebraska is what killed their program? Wow.

Also, you're using one player, a FRESHMAN Dez Bryant, as a reason to call this a good win. Give me a break. I did look up the box score real quick though. He torched you guys. 155 of his 600 yds he had the entire season. What's that reeruned thing you guys say to Mizzou all the time??? Oh yeah...time to hang a banner.

KU's biggest win is against Bill Callahan. That says a lot.

All I said was it was the best win during the regular season in my opinion.

Obviously it was completely overshadowed by the BCS victory six weeks later.

So you're on record here saying that KU's best win, and the one that left them deserving of an Orange Bowl selection, was beating a 5-7 Nebraska who went 2-6 in Big 12 play? Yikes.

First time I ever felt like Missouri could ever be more than a team that made a bowl game with 6-8 wins about 1/2 the time.

Gotcha. My bad on the confusion. Point remains though...your signature win is now against an unranked Ok St that was 7-6. That's weak sauce.

Also, Nebraska was beat by 35 (courtesy of Mizzou) and 31 (courtesy of Ok St) prior to you guys beating them by 37. I'd say they were good and primed by the time you made them a bitch.

They were hoping a conference change would get them better protection when bowl selections were made, but unfortunately they ended up in the exact same place: picking Cotton.
What's wrong with the Cotton bowl? Hell it was actually national televised over a BCS game on the same day. Better announcers and venue to boot.

You were still the big dog on the block back then. Still the target, probably more so than Texas and still nearly equal with Oklahoma.

Good call on firing Solich/bringing in Bill Callahan, in hindsight, eh?

Wrong. It's an SI writer's opinion, and it's published in your own damn Alumni Mag. Even your head coach (who was, you know, part of the other wins you mentioned) is quoted as saying nothing will ever compare to it.


Let's trust the intelligent folks on this topic, and have you just stay out of it.

You mean when he's talking about the atmosphere, and is quoted as talking about the game?

“The greatest feeling was driving up [to Arrowhead Stadium],” Missouri Coach Gary Pinkel was quoted as saying in the book. “It was unbelievable. Un-be-lievable. Fans were running up and hitting the buses. There were roars and cheers. You went by the Kansas people, and it was just the opposite. The environment was as good as it will ever get.”

The book is about the rivalry and climaxes with that game. Obviously, that writer finds it compelling (and is probably trying to sell his book). It IS compelling.

The sub-hed doesn't even match the lede of the article.

No one would argue it was an important win, and a great win. But in terms of greatest, it falls a little short of a few other things that have happened in the program's history.

I've heard Gary Pinkel speak about this in person. I've heard hm talk about the importance of the Nebraska win and the Oklahoma win in terms of moving the program forward. He looks at those two games as major, major turning points for the program. The 2007 Border War game is important, too. But not as important.

Yay, more NYC crap. It's not like all of news media fellates NYC on a daily basis as it is. I understand the need for content, but there are already 20 places I can hear about "the Yankees starting rotation".

FS1 did well to get some of the premier PAC-12 content, and one of their main long term goals should be to grow that audience. There's enough of a population on the west coast and in the Rockies to rival Big Ten and SEC ratings.

That's kind of the point. Mizzou fans know we aren't as good at basketball as Kansas, so there isn't much "shit talk" going on during basketball season. But those two reeruns want to not only believe Kansas has been as good as Missouri in football, but are still relevant as Missouri is today. It's fun watching them try to spin and spin.

I honestly try not to read much of what they type (in any thread) or really try to keep tabs on what's happening in this abortion of a thread, so I'm sure they have made some hilarious claims.

Their efforts would be better served if they constantly bombed this thread with basketball updates to remind the MU fan base just how beneath us they are at round ball.

Bowser repeated the point I already made: not worth talking about basketball. Football is a much more interesting subject here given how close the programs are historically. Of course it would be better conversation today had KU never fired the big fella.

I am just a very casual hoops fan at best, and the sport has taken a hit with the way they officiate it now. Too many fouls, too many FT's. I'd likely be very annoyed if I were more of a die hard fan. Just completely ****s the flow of a game with all the calls.

I'm not going to apologize for basketball not being interesting to me. It's ok, but I certainly don't live and die with it like you Beakers do.

I'm actually old enough to somewhat remember when the Kings were in KC. When they left, I just stopped following the sport.

It was a fantastic game. KU was something like 48-2 against KSU in their last 50 games. No shame in losing that one.

Secures yet another Big 12 into the tourney.

If WVU beats KU Saturday in Morgantown there's yet another. Last night was great for the league.

Not true at all. We aren't on as much as him, but a collective effort has easily picked up the slack in the ownage.

Nah, I cited like 7 different sources including some (from MU's fanbase no less) who verbatim backed up the "standing O" story. I understand why other Mizzou fans are so eager to deny it. I expected the hurt you displayed.

SEC asks ESPN for help with college basketball attendance

In an attempt to improve declining men's basketball attendance, the SEC is talking with ESPN about finding better start times and offering ESPN content only accessible for fans at arenas.

SEC teams enter the final month of the regular season averaging 10,126 fans per game in announced attendance, down 1 percent from last year at this time. SEC teams averaged 10,571 fans in 2012-13, third in the country but its lowest since 1986-87.

Half of the SEC's teams' crowds are up and half down in 2013-14. Many of the teams that are down possess some of the largest fan bases: Missouri (23 percent decrease), Tennessee (11 percent), Vanderbilt (11 percent) and Alabama (10 percent). All four of those teams may be left out of the NCAA Tournament.

Entering this season, the average crowd nationally at men's basketball games had declined six straight years. One reason for the lower national average could be more schools in Division I -- and in the post-expansion SEC, for that matter. But there's a larger issue as basketball fights for regular-season relevance and with so many games televised.

"People in our league would say the SEC needs to get stronger and win more games and have more quality teams, and I would agree with all of that," said Mark Whitworth, SEC associate commissioner for men's basketball. "But we've already engaged ESPN in saying, 'Hey, it makes great television for you when all our venues are packed. If it's not, it diminishes the product.'"


ESPN analyst Bruce Pearl, Tennessee's former coach, said he sees too few home-court advantages in the SEC.

"That's what they do in football," Pearl said. "Those are the things that are absolutely required, and we're not doing it in the SEC. We're just not. We have too many venues where there are too many empty seats."

Um, you missed his clarification: "One reason for the lower national average could be more schools in Division I". The data was average, not total which fact did not decrease the past 6 years:

But while we're on the topic of declining attendance over those 6 years......
