Nobody is "getting the studs" to CoMo until we improve our facilities, budget etc immensely. Even then it will de extremely difficult because our fanbase is pretty weak, Missouri doesn't produce much talent and our history is average at best.

We really need to have everything fall into place and earn a playoff bud in the next few years if we want any hope of truly taking the next step.

I don't even think it's that. Facilities I'll agree with, but making an appearance doesn't guarantee anything. frick, kansas made a BCS game and you see how that went.

Three years ago, most here would have said getting to Atlanta would change the appearance of Mizzou on the recruiting trail. We've been twice, and not much has changed. We need a coach (after Pinkel decides it's his time to step down) that has won a P5 conference championship before. I think that has more to do with winning than most anything else.

Anything else is like asking a kid to dedicate 3-4 years of his life listening to a guy that drives up in a Hyundai tell them how to become a multimillionaire.

I have to agree with this, unfortunately. What is the population of the columbia area? It seems like our fanbase is mainly kc and stl. But columbia is a fairly good sized city, and I don't understand why more mid-mo people don't go to football and basketball games. Basketball especially. Why can we only manage to get 7000 people to show up at basketball games?
