I'm pretty sure the best QB the UA has had on campus lately was Tarvaris Jackson. He's actually started in the NFL. We just didn't have a coach at that time who knew what a QB was for.

K-12 education. If Texas' K-12 isn't as a whole creating a lot of Einsteins, how is a school so large getting these eggheads? They would have to be importing them from out of state, out of nation. I suspect UT alums have a far higher regard for their school's academic reputation than reality will support.
AL 47th, AR 49th, MS 50th. Last I checked TX was 48th.

Isn't Texas the state ranked 48th in education? Is UT importing all of these bookworms from out of state? When I think academic excellence, I never think of UT.
Hehe. They still live in central MO. They watch KOMU. Eat at Shakespeare's Pizza. I was just up there a couple of weeks ago. I'm a Hickman alumnus. Then again, you already knew that. Rather than deal with the facts I presented, you're trying an ad hominem attack instead.
You say MU has widespread support in MO. I recall going to the Independence Mall where they had KU monopoly and MU monopoly. I comically observed as numerous passerbys asked where MU was. Even in MO, there are people who don't know where MU is. My parents read the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, even they(paper) have noted through the decades that top-talent from St. Louis is MORE likely to go to Illinois than MU. Hazelwood Schools, Lee Summit and even Columbia-Hickman are more likely to leave state than go to MU. Don't confuse personal loyalty to any type of statewide support. People see Cornhusker, they think Nebraska. They see Bengal Tiger(purple&yellow), they think Louisiana. They see Razorback, they think Arkansas. They see a black and gold Tiger they think of the local high school mascot. KOLR10 out of Springfield spends equal amount of time on MSU/MU/AR.

I grew up in Columbia, MO. The Tigers were named after the nickname the residents received for uniting and fighting AGAINST Bloody Bill Anderson. Missouri was taken out of the war after Wilson's Creek. As to the media attention, I wouldn't count on it. MU is no NE or LSU or AR. They don't dominate the spotlight in their own state. People in St. Louis are as likely(if not more) to support IL. In KC, they are more likely to cheer for KU. SW MO roots for either MSU or AR. Even in central MO, the support for MU is tepid at best. When football improved, support increased. If football starts losing, those fans will disappear. MU has never won a national title in ANY sport in its very long history. In the 1980's their head football coach was collecting DWIs and nobody blamed him. Invite MU to the SEC if you want, but you won't gain statewide media/support and you won't gain a champion in ANY sport.
