Nice try, but that is not what you posted...you posted that the SEC was crying for the rule change, and posted a link to an article that stated clearly that was not the case. You then tried to back up your lie by switching to Saban.

You hypocrisy is shining nice and bright...keep it up.

LMAO

I'll agree it's that way for some. But for others, the issue is pretty clearly lined out:



beware of the phag. i'm pretty sure ku was so

homophobic when they came up with that saying that it pushed them to be so over the top in asking gays to come there now days. seriously, find someone who has taken a campus tour and ask them how much the school pushes the gay community on their campus.

Saban is the SEC. Just like Bevo is the Big 12.

So that explains your beaker fandom. Pathetic that chants like that get so under your skin.

nice try but judging by the level of RB players and recruits KU currently has coming in I don't think this young man could play at same level.

But all the luck to him and Missouri.

Yeah what a loaded program ROFL you are such a clown

LMAO LMAO

Awesome

Ok...this is hilarious! ROFL

I'm not sure who is the bigger imbecile...Bitch or you? :hmmm:

LMAO wow

It's more like me mocking Mizzou fans for suddenly turning on a dime and becoming gay friendly just because one of their players came out of the closet. It's so transparently phony.

KU fans will get a laugh out of this. Some dude from CBS says Nebraskas resume is better than Kentuckys.

It's hard to separate them with all the scissoring they do.

LMAO, be careful PB may call you out on the possible homosexual innuendo there.

Just shut up

Your daily SEC police blotter...

LMAO You really are obsessed with the SEC. Don't worry, though, a lot of people are.

Michael Sam didn't change my opinion on any of these topics, but the student body no matter what decade of modern history you are looking at is going to be extremely liberal. It's no surprise that he got a big cheer from students at a basketball game.

Personally, I don't care what he does with his life. Even if I find his choices distasteful, I appreciate that what he's done required courage. Even if he is standing up for convictions that I disagree with. I don't see that as being "friendly"

I purposefully left out the part about students cheering him on, because you're right: they are bound to be liberal. And especially so on this topic. To my point: it was the alums in the stands that stuck out to me. That screamed out hypocrisy in the worst way, and you know as well as I that at least a decent chunk of them turned when Sam announced. That's phony period.

That would be phony, I agree, if you flipped on the issue just because it's one of your players.

But the context was that the football team was being honored for their Cotton Bowl win, and the whole team was there I think, it's just that Sam got a big cheer when he was on the board and such. (That's what I got from the highlights, anyway)

So if someone was standing and cheering at that moment, that wouldn't be unusual. I think the way ESPN and others presented it might not have been exactly as it occurred. What I got was that if I had been there, I'd have probably been standing and clapping at that moment but not for Sam and his gayness, but for Sam as a great player in the team's football history and for the team in general

The SEC used to dominate sports websites with Championships.

Now unfortunately it seems arrests and cover-ups have taken center stage.

Where is your evidence for this? You continue to spout this crap as if it has any basis in reality, yet you provide ZERO evidence to support your assertions. The hypocrisy exists only as you have created it.

That's a fair point. Judging from my Facebook feed I've noticed some long-time Mizzou friends suddenly turning into the biggest pro gay advocates imaginable. I know them much better than that.

It's possible that the clips I saw didn't give the whole story and it was exactly like your FB feed, I don't really know.

A lot of people will just go with the flow, follow the crowd. Everyone has been guilty of that sometimes.

How awful is the big bevo that all you have is lies?

Wasn't the Bevo ' s lone recent championship on a fluke shot against a superior team? Seems like ages ago and I have no idea the player or the team.

You're a Mizzou fan, so you don't know what championships are.

SEC envy. :p

Left that shit conference with a conference title ROFL

That thing KU is gonna win for the tenth time in a row? Yawn.

The joke of a sport does not award auto bids for that...sorry they put more stock in post season. Blame the NCAA.

PGM is right here. A win in the postseason basketball tourney gets you an automatic bid into the NCAA tournament.

Now obviously no team that ever won a major conference regular season championship has ever not been invited to the tourney so I suppose you're just splitting hairs.

The important thing to remember is that once Mizzou won the Big 12 Tourney in 2012 they made the most of their NCAA Tournament run.

http://tigerboard.com/boards/missour...ssage=11604194

The responses are exactly what you'd expect.

I wasn't sure what to expect as I don't visit Tigerboard, but I thought they were fine (for the most part).

Only 1 admitted the truth: "Much, much less support" Here's one that perhaps you could explain to me, since I don't understand his point:


Most have agreed that we'd laugh at ku but show some support for the kid.

No clue, but you noted that the responses were what you'd expect. Most of the responses were very positive, including some appreciation for how ku fans handled the situation (similar to what I've said here). I guess I don't get your point.

Showing how it's done
Mizzou students protected Michael Sam from seeing church protesters
Updated: February 18, 2014, 6:14 PM ET

http://espn.go.com/college-football/...ng-michael-sam

I love this latest generation of Americans, this Generation Y. Maybe when you're born with a computer in your hand, solutions come easy. They're givers, joiners and fixers. I wish I were one of them.

Nothing proves it more than what happened Saturday in Columbia, Mo.

It all started with the people I'd most like to see thrown into a wheat thresher -- the vile members of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kan.

These are the snakes who picket the funerals of U.S. soldiers, holding up their "God Hates bundle of stickss" signs as a sick protest against gays in the military. They're the scum who post things like, "Thank God for 10 more troop deaths. We're praying for 10,000 more." They're the soulless who threatened to picket the Sandy Hook funerals.

Westboro announced it was coming to Columbia to picket Michael Sam, the Tigers' star defensive end who recently told the world he was gay. He was scheduled to pick up Mizzou's Cotton Bowl trophy at halftime of Saturday's Missouri basketball game against Tennessee, along with his teammates.

"GOD H8S bundle of sticks FOOTBALL PLAYERS & THEIR ENABLERS," the Westboro yelled, in caps on its website, in announcing their plans to picket.

The idea inflamed the campus. "We were angry," says Sam's teammate, senior left guard Max Copeland. "We're football players. We're protective. That's our brother."

And it all just made you want to hurl -- until two Missouri coeds had an idea.

"We wanted to do something to stand up to the hate," sophomore Alix Carruth said.

"We're both Christians," sophomore Kelaney Lakers said. "We know that's not God. God is love."

Their idea: Make a human wall to block out Westboro, a huge line of solidarity between their classmate and the Westboro stench.

"A single line, arm-in-arm, a sign of One Mizzou," they wrote on Facebook. They called it #StandWithSam. And they made up 1,000 buttons to give out.

It wasn't nearly enough.

By 1:30 p.m. Saturday, along Stadium Boulevard, an estimated 2,000 people had come, forming a line that stretched almost half a mile long.

Imagine that: 2,000 people -- students, parents, kids, the elderly, the straight and the gay -- willing to stand in the freezing Missouri winter to support a young man most of them had never met.

"We turned our backs on [the WBC]," Copeland said. "That's how we stood -- a huge line with our backs to them. It was brilliant."

It was peaceful and powerful and ... fun? People wore homemade "Stand With Sam" shirts. Two girls wore sweatshirts that said, "My God Likes Tigers Of All Stripes." Drivers honked, held up fists and thumbs-up. There was a can-can line, a guy in a Wookie costume, and a guy in a full-body tiger suit.

"I was just so proud of them," Carruth said.

Across the street, the 14 Westboro protesters looked very small indeed.

Final score: Love 2,000, Hate 14.

Copeland texted Sam a picture of the line, with the caption: "You're very loved today, brother."

And what did Sam text back? "OMG!"

It got better. At halftime, he got a standing ovation, more hugs than One Direction, and even a request from Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon: "Could I get a picture with you?"

"Sam was just so moved," says a spokesman for Sam, who has asked out of interviews while he prepares for May's NFL draft, which will almost certainly make him the first openly gay active player in the league. "It was a huge day for him. A wonderful day. A life-changing day."

Sam tweeted:

Thank you for all of my Mizzou family for your support. Divided we are weak, Together we are Strong. #OneMizzou

"Sam seems so happy," says Copeland, "like a man who's cast off this huge weight."

So how do two devout Christians reconcile helping a man they consider a sinner? "Yes, practicing homsexuality is a sin," Lakers says. "But so is lying, so is cheating, so is coveting. I sin every day. God hates the sin, not the sinner. If God hated all the sinners, he'd hate me!"

What does it all mean? It means this sport is ready for this. At the start of the 2013 season, Sam told his 105 teammates he was gay, then went out and became the SEC Co-Defensive Player of the Year and led his team to a 12-2 record. If a gay man ruins the camaraderie of a locker room, I shudder to think how good Missouri would've been.

It means this new generation is ready for this. It has found the way through. It's with respect and honor and love. Why didn't we think of that?

It means the NFL better be ready for this. ESPN just surveyed 51 NFL players and seven of them said a player's sexual orientation matters to them. They worry too much. "It's not weird [being in the locker room with him]," Copeland says. "His new teammates are going to find out that (1) he's a great person and (2) he gets the job done."

What happened in Missouri should sound very familiar to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. According to a Time magazine profile of Goodell in 2012, the commish would often form a one-man wall between bullies and his gay brother, Michael, when they were growing up.

"Roger is very much a hero figure for me," Michael Goodell told Time.

Now Goodell needs to build a much bigger wall in his NFL to stop the kind of gay-bashing, bullying and blackmail that went on in the Miami Dolphins' locker room last season. He needs to make a new league -- a safe and sane place to work -- and Michael Sam can be the symbol of that.

And to think it took two sophomore Christian women in a red state in the middle of the country to show us how easy it could be.

Thank you, Missouri. You showed us.

Well why don't you give it a whirl? What does it mean to make fun of KU but support the kid? I really don't know how those 2 statements go together. What's your theory?

I imagine there are some who perpetually laugh at ku. Again, I don't really know, but that would be my guess. I literally don't read Tigerboard. I did about ten years ago and it was full of mizzou versions of you.

You're still searching for a reason to turn this whole thing into a negative, huh? I fail to see how quoted material above, or ANYTHING on a "message board" makes you so up in arms or give you some sort of false confidence that you're making any relevant points?? Seriously...you should grow up.

If a player from KU did the same thing, I'd be blown the f@%k away if there was absolutely zero jokes or homophobic garbage written on the INTERNET from the MU side. Anybody, anywhere can write out something stupid online with zero repercussions. And it's a rivalry...what the hell do you expect? If a player from Oregon came out and said they were gay, I highly doubt the overall tone of Tigerboard (or anywhere else you want to search for dirt) would be much different than it is right now. It'd be a topic/story for a day or two with most being in support of said player. Not a 2 week topic like it is now since it's one of OUR players. But I think you're trying to make some grander point and cast a hypocrite net over Mizzou fans which just isn't justified and is frankly getting old.

You should really just give up on this one. It's only making you look petulant and bored.

I read it on occasion too. Not very interesting honestly. And I like to check out phog every once in awhile. But you're absolutely correct. The ratio of rational and sane posters to the PB/Bambi types on both those boards make them annoying and unattractive.

Why? I'm not the only one who realizes your hypocrisy on this. It's so blatant even your own fan asked about it. There are literally thousands of gay-themed KU posts on Tigerboard. Blowing this fact off as "normal rivalry smack" with zero connection to gay people is pure foolishness and you're smarter than that.

I admit, the way the MU team and university is handling the Sam story is very admirable. I'd like to think KU would handle it similarly, but, recently, forward thinking and Kansas don't go together.

You calling MIZZOU fans Hypocrites LMAOLMAO
What about all the KU fans calling Mizzou fans, Slavers..Like they had anything to do with what happened over 200 years ago.
What about all the KU fans calling Mizzou fans, MUorns..Like the people in the state of Missouri are any dumber than the people in the state of Kansas..show me proof of this.
The reasons fans use such words, is because it rolls off the tongue so easily..it's just words that people use against their rivals or other teams.

I agree with this. I don't use the comment because it's not accurate, and in fact the "Missouri Tigers" were a regiment created to keep pro-Union Columbia safe. Confined strictly to the context of Columbia and Lawrence there is no valid basis for the comments. Quantrill of course is a different matter entirely.


See how easy that is? Now stop the bullshitting about there being no legitimate anti-gay connotations towards KU over the years.

Was this ever really a conference realignment thread? Do you need the pretense to get your Border War jollies off?

WOW..You so screwed up, you can even think staight.

I and lots of other people, do not have a problem with Gays or whatever term you want to use. 20 years ago, I did have a problem with people with that lifestyle, but not anymore.

Have you ever heard of the saying "People can change"?
Just because I've changed my views on that lifestyle, does not mean I'm going to stop bashing KU(GAYU) at anytime..it's part of the rivalry.

Quit being a dumb****. It's a childish chide that rhymes with KU.

File this under stupid shit the NCAA does, and another example of how they are ****ing useless and clueless:

http://espn.go.com/college-football/...too-much-pasta

I don't have a problem with gays. I don't give a rip what anyone wants to do in their own home. I also think people ought to lighten up vis-a-vis acting like saying "gayhawks" is like saying the n-word. It's just a sophomoric taunt.

I was born in Baldwin City and graduated high school in Lawrence.

I don't even remember hearing "Gayhawks" or "Gay-U".

Then again whenever I went to Royals, Chiefs or Kemper Arena I never saw any Missouri fans, never a one. Have things changed in Kansas City?

They were probably wearing Royals or Chiefs gear and not Missouri gear.

But were you on the lookout for such things?

JFC quit lying

No shit.

So what's the purpose here these last few pages? For Bitch and Bambi to illustrate how poor Kansas students have been unmercifully taunted by Missouri students?

What a coincidence. I have never seen the buckled beak at Arrowhead and that includes the last game at Arrowhead between the two schools :)

That could be true.

But it's more of a testament to the attention mizzou has gained the last few years in the KC area. When before there was none now there definitely appears to be a presence whenever I'm home to visit.

Do they even know what that cartoon chicken means in NYC?

Of course. All I hear time and time again is people getting pissed at me because KU has lost them so much money in the tournament.

Well next time they should bet on the Missouri Valley Conference

Explain the Post on the Mizzou board about KU "pushing homosexuality" on campus tours. Go ahead, try. I'll sit patiently while you formulate an explanation.

Do you even bother reading posts or do you just constantly lob out nonsense?

Same poster, different message

Leave it to Sheldon to state the truth...Sam's sexuality doesn't matter. Time to talk about Sam the football player again.

http://tigerboard.com/boards/missour...ssage=11583579

Again...really struggling to find either the significance or reason behind you being an obsessed creep about this whole thing.

Would you like a standing ovation?? Congrats, PB!!! Everybody give him a high five since he scoured the web and located some douchebag Mizzou poster on Tigerboard who is a flip-flopping troll. Get a life, dude.

Oh, I'll bet I could find dozens of these types when I get home from work tonight. I'm pretty sure of it actually.

Sounds like a normal night for you, no?

I'll be pissing my pants in anticipation of your important investigation.

:facepalm: just idiotic

I knew PB was obsessed with Mizzou.....but damn

Bowser is one of the better posters on this board. WTF are you babbling about?

Nebraska wins again :)

The move to the B1G is paying off just look at next years recruiting class in football.

You'd make a fortune selling irony this delicious.

Leaving that shit conference can do wonders. Must suck being the school no one wants.

I'm gonna laugh my ass of when a Buckeye kicker pushes one from 40 yards only to be re-attempted after a referee blows "is delayed" on blowing his whistle to signal an Urban Meyer timeout. The second try is good and Nebraska misses out on a playoff spot.

Sorry Billay but you know it's coming.

Congrats. Look likes everyones winning out when it has come to realignment.

I don't know if Ohio State wins their division next year. The Spartans and Nittany Lions will be tough.

Lmao no shit. Its more likely Nebraska would be at the 1 yard line down 6 and fumble lol

You have no idea how much free entertainment the Mizzouchebags and their crappy sports teams have given me over the years. And I'm only half done with my life expectancy so ... as hard as it is to believe....there's actually much more hilarity to ensue.

That mental image has me feeling that I've been coated in Bo Pelini spittle

Not everyone:



“Pinkel was incredibly candid, eloquent today discussing Sam. My humble opinion, one of his finest (half) hours in 13-plus years at Mizzou.”
Dave Matter, @Dave_Matter, MU beat writer for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, on Pinkel’s press conference Monday, Twitter

GH: Missouri’s athletic department over the past 15 years is a New York Times best seller waiting to be written. It would also make a fabulous mini-series in the hands of AMC. This story contains greed, sex, betrayal, jailhouse tapes, adultery, drugs, suicide, gay sex, billionaires and very few championships for all that trouble.
