I'm from STL and am a fan of KC. Never understood the pissing match.
As far as the Chiefs having a better tailgate than Mizzou, I will agree. But its unfair to compare the two when Arrowhead has a huge advantage with the parking situation. Mizzou is spread out over a number of smaller lots while Arrowhead is just one huge smoke filled party.

That sounds like a great trip!
For Friday I would sleep in then head down to the Hill for lunch. You can then go up in the Arch just to say you did it, but it's nothing too special. Hit the brewery tour then stop by a local corner bar in Soulard (by the brewery) for a few beers. Then head downtown for more beers and something to eat. Lots of places to choose from on Washington Ave which is a few blocks from the stadium.
I'm not a Chiefs fan but the folks in KC know how to tailgate. It's a great atmosphere.
Have fun!

The SEC is no slouch in college basketball no matter what the national media might try and brainwash you with.
I didn't say it was a slouch. In fact, I believe I said the opposite. And I don't believe there isn't a high caliber of play in the SEC, just that it isn't much higher, if at all, than the B12.
And by the way, damn you for making me defend that shitehole conference. I am looking ahead and can't wait to start playing in our new home.

Not trying to start a big war here, just tired of defending SEC basketball to folks with teams who do not play here year in and year out.
And we're tired of defending against statements like Mizzou won't help the quality of basketball in the SEC. There was another thread yesterday where a number of SEC fans were picking Mizzou to finish 6th or worse in the SEC next year. Yes, Mizzou blew it in the tournament this year and they haven't made it to a final four, but using tournament results as a proxy for conference play is silly.
Look, I respect the SEC and I know it is going to be a difficult league. And if some of these new coaches can turn their programs around the SEC could become one of, if not the best conference in the nation. But to act like we're walking into a much higher caliber of conference play than we're used to is not accurate. I'll accept that argument in football, but not basketball.

Graduated a lot. We get Bowers back next year along with Pressey and Dixon.
Mizzou has a lot of transfers coming in too:

Tony Criswell (Juco/UAB)
We'll be fine
re: Ags and Mizzou: Tell us how you felt when UK won last night
Posted by motigers on 4/3/12 at 6:21 pm to mizzoukills
Huh?
Yeah, there was some SEC pride last night. As others have mentioned, the Big 12 doesn't have that kind of conference pride or unity. I'm looking forward to being a part of that.
But the most important part of last night for Mizzou fans was the fact that kansas lost. I would have rooted for them to lose if they were playing the Taliban. UK beating them was just a nice bonus.

re: Big 12(texas10) really was hurt by the moves, in behind the scenes posturing
Posted by motigers on 3/18/12 at 6:35 pm to ShaneTheLegLechler
Yeah, I agree. It pains me to say anything nice about the Texas Ten but Homey, you're underestimating the mid-tier programs. OSU, KSU, and Baylor are very solid. Hell, even Iowa State will jump up and bite you now and then.
All the SEC guys keep telling us that we don't understand the "grind" that we are about to face. No question that the B12 grind is not as rough as the SEC, but it is certainly tougher than the Big East.

One of the biggest benefits of the SEC is that it will help lock down the in state kids. I'm not saying MO is as talent rich as the South but in the past Mizzou lost a LOT of the top kids to the Big 10 and other traditional powers like Nebraska and OU. But I think kids like DGB will now want to stay home and play in the best conference in the country. And hopefully we'll be able to turn the tables and steal some kids from Big 10 states as well.

You guys really think you can pull out of Georgia? Right now, UK is getting scraps and some hidden gems in the state...I just do not seeing players heading to Mizzou when they can stay closer to home.
Its going to take time and money, but Mizzou has already reassigned recruiters to GA and FLA. We won't out-recruit UGA or other top SEC schools for Georgia kids. But we didn't out-recruit Texas, OU, or TAMU for Texas kids either. We'll have to rely on those hidden gems that you mentioned. We already pulled in two TE from FLA this year. Probably not world beaters but its a start.

Just hard to have a conversation around here without some one coming in and flaming it to death.
You weren't trying to have a conversation. You were trying to get everyone riled up by saying Mizzou fans were disrespecting the SEC by using a sample size of 3 callers on some radio show in Little Rock.
Mizzou fans are extremely excited about the move to the SEC. Why? Because we know its the best, toughest, and most prestigious conference in all the land. Except for maybe a few trolls, no Mizzou fan is disrespecting the SEC or honestly thinks we're going to come in and dominate the conference.

Last week a Georgia fan was on here asking for travel advice to Columbia. Today, Delta just announced direct flights from Atlanta into Columbia starting this summer. This would definitely be the most convenient route to go. Here's the link for more info:

re: Mizzou wants future SEC BB Tourney in St. Louis

what an awful mistake it was letting those two school in our conference. its brought nothing but headache.
Yes, I can see how St. Louis bidding on a basketball tournament to be held in five years can really be a burden to you. I bet people are jumping out of windows all over the SEC over this.
St. Louis has hosted a number of big NCAA events in recent years including both the men's and women's BB final fours, several regionals(including this year), NCAA wrestling championships, and NCAA Frozen Four. It also supports the MVC tourney pretty well as mentioned. So I have no doubt the SEC tourney would do very well there in terms of support.
re: Question for missouri fans..
Posted by motigers on 2/21/12 at 11:08 am to Porker Face
For hotels, if you are flying out of St. Louis then Kingdom City or Fulton are close to I-70 but your options are limited. Kingdom City is just basically a truck-stop town, Fulton is a little bigger with a few restaurant options.
Jefferson City is bigger but a little more out of the way unless you are flying out of Columbia, in which case that is where I would stay. There is a Doubletree close to downtown which is decent and within walking distance to some restaurants and bars.

That link that pdiddy gave will have a connector in Memphis that is not shown. If those times work for you that is definitely the best way to go. COU is a very small airport so it is very hassle free and you won't have to make the drive from St. Louis or KC. Unfortunately the flip side is that flights are limited. Delta is the only service into Columbia (COU)and I believe there are only two flights in/out a day.
re: Add your reasons Mizzou is going to struggle this year and the near future

but to imply that you'll come in this season guns blazing and take the conference by storm is simply setting yourself up for failure.
Honestly, I don't hear any serious Mizzou fans saying this. Maybe a few internet studs trying to get a rise out of people but most fans I know are optimistic but realistic about our chances, especially in the short term.
Like you said, a lot will depend on UT and UF. From the games I saw last year involving those two teams they sure looked like two buckets of crap. No doubt they have talent so maybe they can turn it around. Florida probably more likely than UT.
Long term, it will all depend on the amount of resources the donors and administration want to spend on the program. No doubt being in the SEC will bring more revenues to Mizzou and I expect facilities and operating/recruiting budgets to increase accordingly. If not, then Mizzou fans will be very disappointed.

Good job NA, now you've got these noobs confident.
Yeah, because saying "if we happen to..." just exudes confidence. I'm not saying we will likely beat Bama or UGA. In fact, the whole reason we would possibly rush the field is because it would be a huge upset.
re: What would it take for Mississippi State to get Shaka Smart from VCU?
Posted by motigers on 2/20/12 at 10:34 am to Al Bundy Bulldog
Illinois will very likely get rid of Weber so State will have to compete with them. They will throw a lot of bank at whoever they want.
If we happen to pull out a win against the defending national champions and what could possibly be the #1 team at that time, then yes, we will probably rush the field. You can either take that as a compliment or be disgusted, your choice.
We won't rush the field after a win against Vandy or Kentucky. We didn't rush the field when we beat Texas who is loathed around here so it certainly won't happen against those teams.
If we rush the field if we beat UGA then yes, I will be disappointed. I don't think it will happen but since it will be our first SEC game, and especially if something like Game Day is there and it is a night game, then I can see where it could happen with a bunch of tanked up fans. I don't think it will, and I hope it doesn't, but it is possible.

If baseball is that much more popular than basketball then aren't the SEC schools making poor business decisions by having such small baseball facilities relative to their basketball facilities?
Just look at Arkansas for example. Their basketball arena is almost twice the seating capacity as their baseball stadium. Someone needs to tell the Arky AD that his priorities are misplaced.

re: SC President proposes SC-Mizzou rivalry.
Posted by motigers on 2/7/12 at 4:58 pm to Zou Animal
I think a forced rivalry based on the towns' name is pretty weak. But one interesting piece of trivia, the submarine USS Columbia is named after our town (along with a town in Illinois). I believe the sub's crest has a gamecock and tiger on it. So I guess that's kind of cool.

I, for one, am looking forward to putting the kU rivalry behind. That kind of hate really isn't healthy. It has nothing to do with football or basketball, it's much deeper than that. kansas just shouldn't be! We burnt that shithole down for a reason.
On the other hand, I am looking forward to new rivalries in the SEC. Arky seems like a good start. Although some of you acted like fools over the DGB recruitment, I really don't hold any animosity towards you. You have a beautiful state and in my experience y'all are good people (Hogville message board posters notwithstanding). Here's to many years of great rivalries and great football!
MIZ-SEC!
