MU-C to play SEMO, Tigerboard wigs out

OzarkSportsNet over on the letsgobears.com Football Board points out that TigerBoard - the spot for Missouri University-Columbia fans to gather - is abuzz over news that the MU-C Tigers will play SEMO in football at some point in the next few years.

These posts, kids, are good reads. A friend of my wife's - a med student at MU-C - told her the whole name change thing has blown over. Apparently not with everybody. Folks like "AndyTiger" are still carrying the torch.

"Why do we want to give teams in our own state money," he asks."As far as I'm concerned they're competition. MU needs to be the flagship school. No use in legitimizing the directional schools."

Some posters over there see scheduling SEMO as a swipe at Missouri State. One so eloquently says "They can never really get rid of the directional in them." Most think we're a bunch of wanna-bes.

The most ludicrous post, though, refers to Missouri State as arrogant. Of course. We're arrogant, not the fans who don't want to legitimize the directional schools by playing them in football.

Thanks, TigerBoard. You're always good for a laugh.
