“We will put Thomas Robinson’s jersey in the rafters at the Missouri halftime, which is perfect,” Self said Monday on his Hawk Talk radio show.

I don't really understand what took ten years. Give people their flowers, man. This was a no-brainer.

Sorry, I'm stupid. I don't get it. Why is it significant it's going to happen against Missouri - other than it's our former rival?

The replay of TRob’s block on Pressey will be a special kind of ovation

Because MIZZOU's last game in AFH as a B12 member was vs Thomas Robinson and TRob had himself a GAME ( during a 16 or so point comeback ) including his famous game saving block on Pressey.

Oh, I know.
There's bound to be something.

My guess something something about downplaying the rivalry ( yes MIZZOU still is our biggest rival ) and something something about TRob fouling ( probably a foul but holyshit do you remember the ref job in the prior game @ MIZZOU? ).

I was figuring the no-call, exactly.

(Yes, it could very well have been called a foul. No, that does not detract from the awesomeness of the play or the win. I will take no further questions on this matter.)

TRob had 28 points and 12 rebounds ( and 1 block ) in that win.
One of his best games in his career.

And then, to counter the rivalry thing just quickly, KU's average cost per ticket on the secondary market for this game is only bested by Houston, Baylor and Texas, all are Saturday games during the heat of conference play, and all are currently ranked in the top 15 in college basketball. This is unranked MIZZOU in December, two days before student Finals.

I think it's safe to say if MIZZOU was ranked, this would be the hottest ticket at AFH for the season, so yes, they are our rivals.

Thank god the clock expired before English (right? or was it Denmon?) got the last shot up. Because loosing on the ball flatly sticking to the hoop bracket or whatever that's called, before falling, would have sucked mondo ass.

Anyone who denies that Mizzou is our rival is...just playing into the worst stereotypes of KU fans.

I vaguely remember thinking for a moment they had hit the game winner at AFH to close down the series forever.

I almost died.

It's like losing on a banked shot (ask Iowa State how it felt to have Ben miss a thirty footer so badly...that it went in).

Thanks!
Now that you have pointed that out and I have given it some thought, it makes a lot more sense to me in regards to the memory for TRob and the fans - who this is ultimately for.
I just figured there isn't a current coach or player on the Missou team that really gives a fudge about that game.

Not our fault that this game, which happened in 2012, was four coaches ago for Mizzou.

Does Missouri have an instruction video on how to act during basketball games?
