While hardly a distinguished institution, SportsPOOP.com has declared Missouri “America’s greatest collection of dim-witted administrators in 2009”. This spawns from the recent incident where the University failed to secure all extensions of their Mizzou digital brand. As reported two days ago, the noble owner of Mizzou.us has set this domain up to redirect it’s visitors to KU.edu.
The author does a pretty good job of ripping the university and closes with the zinger:
By late Tuesday, GoDaddy had taken down the redirection link. But no one can take Mizzou’s hard-earned title away.
The owner of www.Mizzou.us is using the address to direct visitors away from their expected online lair — a home page affiliated with the University of Missouri — and lure them instead into the official, virtual world of the Kansas Jayhawks: KU.edu.
To be honest I am kind of surprised that they even have computers to know what a domain name is. The director of alumni affairs even said” “Wow, somebody’s pretty smart.” Obviously not speaking of himself, the University

This is so funny, i could watch it every day. Why can’t we have a quality rival? At least UNC has Duke. Both claim titles and have glory, as well as academics. We’ve got underacheiving hillbillies with a generic tiger as their mascot. Sooooo lame.
