Way back on November 22, I predicted the entire season as follows:

UMKC: HL
Arkansas: HL
Davidson: HL
Texas A&M-Corpus Christi: HW
Furman: W
Illinois: HLOEP
Eastern Illinois: W
Oakland: W
Louisiana-Monroe: W
Oklahoma State: HL
Oklahoma: HL
Colorado: HW
Kansas: HLOEP
K-State: HL
Iowa State: L
Nebraska: L
Texas: HL
Texas Tech: HL
Baylor: HL
K-State: W
Kansas: HLOEPESOMITIALOFAQROOFU
Texas A&M: W
Colorado: HL
Iowa State: HL
Nebraska: W

10-18, See You Later Quin Snyder (counting first round loss in Big XII Tounament)

HL=Humiliating Loss, humiliating either because the opponent is terrible or we lose by a wide margin
HW=Humiliating Win, we squeak one out against a terrible opponent
HLOEP=Humiliating Loss of Epic Proportions, self explanatory
W=Should have won and did
L=Should have lost and did, but wasn't a complete route
HLOEPESOMITIALOFAQROOFU=Humiliating Loss of Epic Proportions Entire State Of Missouri Is Thrown Into A Lake Of Fire And Quin Rides Off On Four Unicorns, self explanatory

It appears Quin will not let me down. I won't change my predictions, but I'm starting to think K-State and Nebraska might be losses. At best, I think we'll split. Just a little while longer and the Snyder era is officially a bad memory.

Frankly, I've had a hard time updating this site due to apathy. It seems this team is what they have appeared to be all season...terrible. Yes they beat a couple of struggling, equally terrible Big XII teams, but their true terrible status was exposed this past week in blowout losses to K-State and Iowa State at home.

The home loss was the worst in 45 years. The last loss that was worse than last night, JFK was president, Ward Cleaver was in style and no one had heard of The Beatles. This in Quin Snyder's 7th year. Terrible.

The Quinholm Syndrome is when fans over time become sympathetic to their captor, Quin Snyder. It happens when a coach takes a team to historic depths and occassionally pulls a game (or a couple of games, see the Elite 8 run) out of his meat muffins. When the latter occurs, said coach is praised as a hero; a savior of the program. The fanbase is kept captive through this perpetual cycle of submersion with sudden bursts of air. The fanbase is so grateful for the air, they praise their captor.

What a game that was. Each team did what they could to choke away the game, but in the end, KU retained supremacy in that category. Congrats to Quin. I still want you fired, though.

Aside from KU owning Quin Snyder during his stay at Mizzou, Quin finished off the Hearnes Center with a crushing defeat to KU in front of every living Missouri dignitary known to man, including Mr. Hearnes, himself. The nightmare continues as Quin takes on the Beaks two days after losing to hapless Colorado at home. I'm as excited as a beaurocrat. Yay.

This is a completely true story. Last night I had a weird dream. It was apocalyptic in nature. I looked up into a darkened sky and say an endless stream of unicorns flying overhead. I called to them and two came down to see me. I'm not exactly sure what it all means, but I do know that I've never had a unicorn dream before.

Last year for several weeks I donned a KU logo on Tigerboard in an effort to jinx the beaks. We all know what happened. Bucknell. Day after day I showed my face next to the blue KU. It was like Superman and kryptonite, but I took it for the team. Now I have single handedly transformed Snyder from worm food to Lazarus the Phoenix. I'm still guessing it will be more like Frankenstein, though.

Missouri basketball coach Quin Snyder whined at the Big 12 media conference this week about being limited in his recruiting. He implied that he wasn't allowed to recruit KU star Brandon Rush due to academic concerns. Quin instead should have been thanking the Missouri athletic department that he wasn't fired after six years of scandal, probation, terrible performances and plummeting interest in the program. Despite the damage he has wreaked on the program, Snyder continues to have the opportunity to do well at Missouri. Any limits he has are a direct result of his lack of discretion and leadership.

Three words: Sam Houston State. We'll see how Quin does the rest of the season, but beating a young, mediocre OSU team at home used to be non-news.

Here. "I thought it was critical to show coach we still support him. By we, I mean me," said mu4ever.

Brad Smith gave long suffering Missouri fans a special memory last Friday. It's in the books and can't be taken away. Just remember that, folks, when you're lamenting how cursed you think this program is. A guy like Brad Smith comes along and devotes four years of work for your Missouri Tigers. Gary Pinkel had already earned more time at Mizzou, but hopefully this win silences his remaining critics, or at least puts them on the shelf for a while.
