In basketball, with our NBA incubator status, facilities, pulchritudinous campus, and growing NIL... it's like we are in full blossoming from dream seeds Johnny planted.

Wonder how good he is.

Okay, you got me...I had to look that word up!

Hilton Smajic!

If that's how you pronounce the name this has to happen.

Ehh...he's from Missouri.

Anytime you leave that miserable sh!thole of a state anywhere will look good.

Just kidding...while my antipathy towards the state is real it is nice to see that he is enjoying the attention he is getting from us so much.

My last company was StL based. They didn't laugh when I told them the joke that I grew up in the bottom tier of counties in Iowa...you know, that area if you cut it off and gave it to Missouri it would raise the IQ of both states.

I don't understand the Missouri hate, Telephone Trophy rivalry aside. Seems like an ok state. Iowa with milder winters essentially.

Some people just like to trash, with just a smidgen of reason. It really doesn't matter if the smidgen has any merit or not.

Ok, now I will just wait for the dumbs. Because we all know that, ahem, Iowa, is such a superior state.

I'm old enough to remember their utterly classless and tasteless behavior towards Jeff Grayer back in the good old days of the Big 8. I was also less than impressed with the fan base and their conduct during the Big 8 tournaments around the same time frame. I've personally never seen a white trash-ier looking fan base in my life; honest to God they looked like they came straight from the sticks after skinning up some possum and checking their stills.

I was also less than impressed with them chanting "SEC!" on their way out the door after they won the Big 12 basketball tournament back in 2012. It was awesome to then watch them sh!t the bed as a 2 seed against Norfolk State that year.

Kid looks like a lights out shooter with size. Can’t have enough 6’5 guards who can knock down shots.

Southern Missouri gets... very southern.

The states with the most fighting within them during the Civil War were Virginia and... Missouri.

You can guess why.

It has its charms, though. KC is lovely. St. Louis feels too much like an East Coast city for my tastes, though.

But they do have Lambert's in Sikeston, south of St. Lou so that counts for something. There is another in Springfield but I have never been to that one. Used to stop at Sikeston one 3-4 times per year traveling.
