re: Mizzou fans: Do you think Pinkel needs to go?

haven't you heard yet? "Stars don't matter"

we're talking about coaches in states with FAR LESS talent, like Iowa and kansas, that have won conferences and the fact that Mizzou is the ONLY Div 1 program in a state with more talent than they have.

We used to say Stars didn't matter when we had Dooley. Oh we were getting 'diamonds in the rough' but the truth was we were getting players who didn't belong in the conference.

Mizzou has won by playing solid, fundamental football. But here's the thing about that, you can only get away with that when others are making mistakes or the talent is somewhat even. It's not a long term recipe.

It's plain as day to anyone who's watched or looked at your roster that you don't have the skill players on offense you need. That's killing you.

Defense, OTOH, doesn't show that deficit as much but defense is a funny thing. It doesn't require a team of 5*s to be solid but it certainly helps.
