SMS loses to Washburn?!?

[UNI Prof]

35-27? I mean, Washburn is an ok MIAA team, but it's not like they were playing Northwest Missouri. Good Lord, what is Terry Allen doing?

Can I change my preseason top 5 conference pick of SMS?

Re: SMS loses to Washburn?!?

According to our good friends who were at the game, they pretty much shot themselves in the foot. Lots of penalties, missed tackles, etc... They came out of lockerroom at half time and started the game with three penalties in a row...pretty sure that wasn't in TA's halftime talk!

Re: SMS loses to Washburn?!?

PS: As pissy as we get about the UNI vs. NIU stuff, we should really cease to use SMS when talking about Missouri State. If we want respect we should show it to our opponents.

I don't necessarily disagree with you...but in a ten year span didn't they go from SWMS, to SMS, to MSU.
Granted UNI has had many different names, but never NIU...

I also refuse to call Chad Johnson,"Ocho Cinco"

Evidently now UNI is frowning upon people using the term "Northern Iowa", insisting that they use "University of Northern Iowa", UNI, etc.
That seems a bit much, to me.


And Chad Johnson is an idiot.

Re: SMS loses to Washburn?!?

Well I can understand that because using "Northern Iowa" leads people to say NIU. But yes, the MSU name change the last decade is quite confusing. I'm also willing to bet that people would not mess it up if they would stop losing to Washburn.

As far as I know, we also didn't steal the name University of Northern Iowa. While Wikipedia may disagree, the name Missouri State University belongs to the University of Missouri. In fact, that is where the name "Mizzou" originated, as a phonetic pronunciation of "MSU."

Re: SMS loses to Washburn?!?

Does Chad Johnson understand that "85" is Ochenta y cinco in Spanish...not "Ocho Cinco". Saying it that way is like saying just two random numbers not his jersey number. He's a moron anyway, and now he's an uneducated moron to all of the Spanish-speaking world.

has he ever seemed educated to you though?

Re: SMS loses to Washburn?!?

Well who cares. His official name is Chad Javon Ocho Cinco, if the NFL will let him have it on his jersey now you should respect his decision. It may not be educated, but it is a name it doesn't make sense that it is spelled 'Favre' but pronounced Farve.

On the MSU note it is difficult to get used to, but UNI has changed it's name many times also I mean at one point or another we have been known as Iowa State Teachers College, State College of Iowa, Iowa State Normal School, and University of Northern Iowa.

Ocho Cinco - wow, I think everyone should have their IQ as part of their name.
