Fan / alumnus reaction to Missouri State loss

Actual conversation I had with Flapjack this afternoon. It should be noted that Flapjack went to Missouri State University.

Stlsports: Hello?

Flapjack: So SLU cheated, did you hear?

Stlsports: I don't think that there was any cheating.

Flapjack: Totally cheating.

Stlsports: The fact that the ref might have missed the call, all because of what a recently-released "scout tape" shows, while Soderberg quietly waited for the decision, is cheating? Do you even know the definition of the word 'cheating'?

Flapjack: This just gives more fuel to those Billiken sympathizers at the Post-Dispatch. Did you read Burwell? Or Miklasz? They do anything they can to talk about SLU like it is Notre Dame or Boston College.

Stlsports: What are you talking about? I don't think you and I are reading the same newspapers.

Flapjack: They said SLU would've made a mistake joining the Missouri Valley Conference, compared to the A-10! The MVC is totally a better basketball conference.

Stlsports: Again, I don't think we are reading the same articles. That's not what it said. Sometimes you make no sense.

[pause]

Flapjack: Hey, what are you doing tonight? Wanna go over to Schlafly [Tap Room] and have some beers tonight?
