Sleeping giant

Thanks. You kind of walked right into that one.

The SEC agrees with you.

He didn't say it, but he has certainly implied it throughout the thread.

As a Mizzou fan, I would whole heartedly disagree with that sentiment.

LOL

Yeap, that was the deciding factor. How aesthetically [un*]pleasant Columbia is.

*In my subjective and biased opinion.

In your opinion. Maybe if they'd opened up a few Duds n Suds, Columbia would have a more authentic college town appeal?

Nothing at all. Football games at Memorial Stadium are electric.

Look, you ****ers. No matter where Mizzou plays, we will forever be rivals to KU and KSU. It's gotten to where we're arguing over town decor, for God's sake.

Yeah, I edited that for those who don't understand that tastes are subjective. You do, so you're good. :)

Maybe I'm taking this wrong....it's been said several times throughout the thread.

My lightning fast reflexes with the quote button has doomed you. :p

Ok, so you're just talking about football gameday experience. So we can exclude the prestigious Southern Magazines Top College Towns of the South.

Just my opinion, but I think that was more of a sarcastic reply to a sarcastic statement? Eh, I dunno. Name me a Big XII (or division I school, for that matter) that has a "boring atmosphere", especially on gameday.

Hell, Warrensburg and Maryville are pretty freaking fun college towns, or used to be. It's been awhile since I've been to either....

Are you somehow under the impression that I'm planning on enrolling at every SEC school? I'm not. I am more interested in having a fun weekend centered around a football game. Missouri had 74,000 at last week's game in a stadium with 69,500 seats. We're expecting around 70,000 this weekend, and this is a down year.

When Kansas has 30,000 people in the stands after the end of the third quarter, I'll re-evaluate my opinion of what Lawrence has to offer.

(As a college town, I actually love Larry. Mass street is fun, I am a huge fan of Free State Brewery, the Oread is a great hotel, and AFH is a really cool place to watch a game. It's worth the drive from JoCo, but I wouldn't make a destination of it if I lived farther away.)
