I feel like the dick having to turn the lights off at Cheers.

I've got to admit, when I started Mizzourah off 2 1/2 years ago, I had no clue how it would go. I pretty much started it off as a screw around project to kill some time while at work. I honestly can't believe how well it turned out, and how much it took off. The first person to tell me how much I sucked was a grandma in Boulder named Joan, who sent me a book on the Colorado program during their Katie Hnida suckage days. Joan was probably right, but there has been 100's of people since her that have told me how much I and this website blow. The funny thing is, those people had to actively read the website, because in most instances, they were quoting things I said days, weeks, months, and even a few years ago. I never thought that my personal likes, hates, dumbass quotes, thoughts, and the like would ever been taken so serious by the thousands of people that have come to Mizzourah.

I have had more fun than what I ever thought I would doing Mizzourah. There have been so many things that were close to happening that didn't, and those things that were so close were GREAT ideas by people associated with this thing. We had a couple of ex-Tigers ready to write and a certain Tiger going through the NFL Draft process that was going to keep a diary on Mizzourah of his workouts, what teams were telling him, and basically the entire process. I think that the fact that we never ran the piece still kind of pisses me off, but it wasn't to be. From what I got, the process is really a pain in the ass and people/teams are full of bullshit. We didn't run it because the player tossed a little too much info in and we were afraid of running it too close to the draft and if Team X was thinking about drafting him, maybe they re-think, and don't draft him. He really didn't sugarcoat anything, but probably ended up gettting picked by the right team, so I was happy for him. At least, he didn't get picked by the 20 or so teams he mentioned that are full of crap.

But the things we did run; wow. You, the reader, have been around to see them- AP writer Joe Davis getting clowned, Sleezy running into Chase Daniel's girlfriend outside the Alamo Bowl, Gilbert Moye's umm MySpace photos (you remember those), kUchebags, partying with Steven Blair's dad pre-Husker beatdown in '07, HMW holding down some live bloggage, J. Biel's ass, Victory Whiskey, Big 12 as Punch-Out Characters, writing a couple articles on Deadspin, hell, even Will Leitch hopping on for a few pieces. We had a great run. I'm sure you have your favorite post, and I imagine for Husker and kU fans, me predicting Mizzou wins in '09 and '08 respectively, are probably it.

I've enjoyed each and every email you have sent in, and even if we didn't agree, 98% of the conversations were at least done intelligently, and that can't be said for every site. I think that was the most fun for me.

I'd like to thank every consistent commenter, but that'd take up a lot of this post, so you know who you are. Props to the lurkers that never did comment. Props to the people that just Googled 'Jessica Biel Ass' and found us.

I love you all. No homo.

Now, I stole Hat's wallet, so let's put a round of Victory Whiskey on his, errr, the corporate credit card.

MIZZOURAH.

Oh, and we still never heard from Joe Davis' lawyers.
