It's a Celebration Bitches

Sometimes people wake up and realize they are living in a world of shit....more often than not you can be pretty sure that these people I speak of reside in the state of Missouri. Understanding that Missouri is the heart of all that is soulless, toothless and usually fatherless is central to realizing how difficult it has been for them to have the spotlight stolen by their intellectually superior neighbors to the west. The slavers over on tigerboard have been discussing how weak our schedule has been, how ridiculous our rankings are and how they are going to beat us like their wife/cousin when we face off at Camarohead. Really ignoring the fact, as Hiphopotamus and I have discussed, that each Kansas and Missouri control their own destiny. What really adds on the the hilarity of all of this is the amount of Mizzou fans on those same boards that are counting down the seconds before an inevitable collapse in some game, at some time in true historically Missouri fashion. Every fan base has their cynics and chicken littles, but Missouri has a reason to look at success as they do...a build up to a let down. I know some MU sympathizers might counter that KU has been overrated in basketball so many times...had so many all-americans...yada yada yada. The difference is that we do have championships, we may not have as many as we should, but at least we have put ourselves in position to be there and have accomplished the ultimate goal. So Missouri was picked by many to take the big 12 north fictional title and compete in San Antonio for the rights to go BCS bowling. They have looked good, strong, consistent and still control their route to that game. But, quietly KU keeps beating everyone they play decisively by playing sound football. The fact that KU came out of nowhere and is the road block for Missouri is what makes this all so surreal, it wasn't supposed to be like this for Mizzou. But as we all know, the teams are the master of their own domains and fans bitching about rankings and BCS crap doesn't mean shit. The slavers are missing out on watching and enjoying a pretty damn good football team, for once in their own backyard, because they are so focused on the Mighty Hawks. Anyway, this is fun, real fun....and here is to hoping that it only gets better. As fans we should just stay positive and worry about our own team and our next opponent. It's a great time to be a Jayhawk! As you can see on these giddy faces....
