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

I lived in Columbia for 7 years, so please don’t try to sell me on the passion of Mizzou fans. They had a great season and I think the fans played a huge part in that, but it was an aberration. I hope they have continued success and it becomes a part of the culture there. When Drink was hired, there were so many people who thought he was beneath them, mainly because they weren’t at all familiar with Appy State. Not a lot of people there that are knowledgeable about college football. What you see as a bipolar fan base is actually a fan base that expects and inspires excellence. LSU football is not just a few months in the fall; it’s a year-round obsession. Mizzou football is limited to great seasons.
