[quote]1/3 of a century should be plenty of time to rebuild an athletic department. That excuse is starting to get a little tired IMO.[/quote] I have been amazed at how bad Mizzou is at branding and creating a cultural identity tie to the entire state. Using other Midwestern states as an example,...
[quote]I too long for the days of skilled players like Luc Longley just standing in the lane.[/quote] There will always be a spot for you if you are over 7'. Shotblocking/rebounding. Unskilled guys like Tacko Fall still make the League...
[quote]NASCAR / Jim France[/quote] Cmon....Not a major sport. [quote]NFL / Roger Goodell[/quote] Takes a bunch of heat himself, but it actually protects the league many times. The "unite everyone by hating me" strategy. Sure, they miss on things, but every league will. There is a reason they are ...
[quote]too skilled[/quote] Or just a massive change in the rules. Most NBA euro steps are actually 3 step travels nowadays. No handchecking/any form of physical defense. It doesn't take any skill to draw foul calls when they blow the whistle at first touch of contact for any star. Better lo...
[quote]Snyder was just too early in his career[/quote] For sure, but he's arguably the the best since Norm. 4 Tournament appearances in his first 4 years with an Elite 8 run, 2 1st round wins, and only 1 first round exit. Followed by 2 NIT bids, and a bad start and a really young team (fired). That...
[quote]least athletic in the SEC[/quote] Athleticism is not the problem. SEC basketball has historically been low on skill, high on athleticism, and that is why it sucked for decades. Our team is low on skill. We have plenty of athleticism. People use Wisconsin as an example. As an alum o...

As much as I'd love to see this team make a run, I don't think they have the consistency in creating and scoring that it takes to win more than 2 games in the tourney. We only have 1 guy who can consistently create opportunities, Pinson. He is hot/cold. Tilmon's effectiveness is dictated by how ...
1 National Title = 20 Years of Making the tournament. Way overvalued IMO. 25 would be more appropriate. I don't like the Conference Wins/Losses metric. Some conferences smash others. ...
[quote]Kim Anderson[/quote] Did his job admirably. It wasn't to win, it was to run a clean program and get us out of probation forest. ...
I could see Colorado to the B1G if they go western expansion...
[quote]Probably the wrestling background[/quote] Farming/Wrestling. It is crazy to me how the South has not adopted wrestling. Without a doubt, it is the best technique builder for linemen and defensive players outside of football, and perhaps even better. Wrestling teaches body control and lea...
8 team playoff: Conference Champs + Top G5 get auto bids, and 2 At Large. Top 4 host home game first round. Must be conference champ to be Top 4 (At larges must have away game). Solved....
[quote]Alabama[/quote] Expectations will be unrealistic post-Saban. One of, if not the greatest, college football coaches ever. In state competition in a small staet. [quote]Ohio State[/quote] Top 5 job no doubt. [quote]Florida[/quote] Good job, but tough given 2 other major in state schools....
[quote]Is it just me or does this scheduling make no sense?[/quote] Don't know if y'all are just realizing this, but there are old heads in league office who don't think we belong here, and try to screw us at every turn. Some specific refs certainly do. That 42 high is pretty darn warm for th...

[quote]Tim. Melia.[/quote] Wouldn't mind seeing him in a 23 specifically for shootouts. Absolute wall on pens. Kind of like TJ Oshie was for hockey olympics. ...
Running almost directly in front of Mckennie on that break up the left side. Have to either book it and make a move past the RB along the touchline or drift inside and make the RB choose. What happened is the RB stayed with both until he got help and then couldn't make the pass/intercepted. ...
[quote]How so?[/quote] Looks and plays young. Can tell technical aspects are being developed, but not quite there with positioning and understanding the game. Doesn't look bad, but just in comparison to guys playing at top tier clubs; the quality difference shows. ...
[quote]How have these two been bad?[/quote] Not bad, but just not connecting the way the rest of the players have. Llanez looks like a YNT player out there. Can tell talent, but not quite putting it together. Cannon hasn't had much to do, but doesn't create much going forward. Probably has someth...
