re: Should Ford be fired after the year?

I remember when Onion Horton, the late Morris Henderson and Charlie Tuna(Tuna has since cooled out on that) back in the 70's and 80's tried to get kids and especially black kids not to go to Mizzou, because they wouldn't recruit any far east of St. Louis County in St. Louis back then.

The higher uppers at Mizzou had to force Onofrio to recruit the PHL in the city and the eastside and kids still ended up there. Kevin Potter, Demetrius Johnson, Steve Hamilton, Wendell(Sting) Ray(Shane Ray's dad) came from the PHL while Johnny Poe, Eric Wright and Kellen Winslow came from East St. Louis.

Today, colleges and especially Illinois are using race and Mizzou offering St. Louis kids late as a weapon against Mizzou. That's just the dirty business of recruiting. Plus Mizzou doesn't have the most loyal fan base(attendence) and the acceptance of mediocrity.

Just keeping it real!
