re: 247 Sports: Mizzou DC Blake Baker has emerged as leading candidate for LSU DC opening

Yep, plenty of times. I live in Kansas City. I have friends who lives in Columbia. Just as bad as Baton Rouge except that it is landlocked.

Ever been to Columbia, MO?

Yes, lived there for 7 years and then moved back to the Baton Rouge area. Made some wonderful friends there, but Columbia itself is not impressive. In winter it is bleak beyond description. With the exception of a few, the “good” restaurants serve slightly elevated bar food. Crime is random and rampant and encompasses the entire city. The homeless population is out of control and aggressive. And it is the farthest thing from a sports town, despite having an SEC member school. I know the areas to avoid in Baton Rouge, I’ll take my chances.
