re: If/when Blake Baker spurns LSU, does his decision say more about Mizzou or LSU?

If you’re the coach being sought as DC, which fan base do you want to coach for? Mizzou’s fans are lukewarm at best, and are usually pretty quick to admit that. I’ve driven past Faurot an hour before kickoff for an SEC opener and cycled through the first light at Stadium and Providence. There’s no comparison. None. Mizzou sold tickets this season that included beverages and snacks in order to achieve sellouts. It’s great they did that, makes it affordable for families, but it’s still gimmicky and top-tier programs don’t need to do that for conference games. Look at the success our previous coordinators and assistants have had. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a done deal. Congrats to Mizzou on a great season; they’ve been a lot of fun to watch.
