If you don't appreciate what he has meant to our program, then you don't deserve to be a Mizzou fan.

Amen.

His character and values built this program from the lowly bottom it resided in after the late 70's through the 90's. All in spite of a resistant administration in his early tenure for those that remember. It wasnt built on great recruiting classes in which the percentages were always in your favor. He built it with taking chances on young men that were overlooked and cast aside by traditional powers. He believed in them and they believed and loved in him in return. That is what Missouri and Mizzou is all about and I will never be "embarrassed" because of that, never.
