re: I don't know about the rest of you, but watching OM today, and aTm last night,

Here's my take. While we may not offer the climate (wearher) of our competition, we should still be able to attract good local (MO, IA, IL, even KS) talent who want to stay close enough for family members to travel to home games, at minimum. I still say SEC affiliation is a big carrot. Mizzou has a beautiful campus and CoMo is a great college town.
