Hey Jagd - You're one of my favorite posters. I just wish I knew why you've decided to take the turn into a bridge abutment lately. I'm as unhappy as anyone over how last season ended - and the likely future prospects with Pinkel & Steckle at the helm - but as fans what can we do about it except take the long view?

Pinkel built something out of ashes. We moved to the only conference capable of giving us a national profile. His reward is staying on until he's ready to leave. If we're lucky, maybe he actually steals one. I doubt it, but maybe.

And as 808 pointed out in another thread, Mizzou has the right man in charge at the top in Chancellor Loftin. He cleaned house in Aggieland and set them up, and will do so here when the time right.

I'm just biding my time and enjoying the ride and growth of players like Maty Mauk.

yea that's kinda my point, I don't see a need to "reward" Pinkel with anything until he's "ready to leave". He get's paid extremely well, that is his reward, (highest paid state employee).

Some of us just don't have that many years left, and I don't care to waste 5 or 10 of them watching Pinkel slowly fizzle down the drain. We've already seen what he is capable of, and it's really not much. A division or two every decade, well that's better than being kansas, but it's not what I want and probably a lot of you either. What we now hear from Pinkel is a lot of "we have to get better" talk and what we see is the same ole same ole "we do what we do" on game days. It's one thing to talk about getting better, it's another thing to actuate it. Biding time is great and all, that is when you have time to bide.
