So who is Don Walsworth? How did he come about wanting to donate that much to us?

Walsworth Publishing Company

My high school yearbooks were done by Walsworth.

I believe they do the printing for Mizzou's media guides and schedule posters, cards, etc.

Hopefully they put this 7 million to good use and purchase a couple live tigers.

We really need tigers.

Thanks Stripes. You read my mind on my next question. Thanks to Mr. Walsworth. I can't wait to start seeing some ground breaking now.

That's why I laugh at people on that RANT that think Missouri is some poor ol state. They'd be surprised at what people in this state of around 6 million do when it comes to sports. When Push comes to shove we'll help our sports teams out.

STL...New Busch Stadium
KC.... remolded Kauffman and Arrowhead
Mizzou...Mizzou Arena
Missouri State.....JQH Arena
Robert Plaster/Family..... made donations to Missouri State, Southwest Baptist, and Missouri Southern

Agreed we just need more of those 6 million to be mizzou fans. I still think if we can just be competitive we will continue to raise our enrollment and therefore grow our alumni base. If and when that happens I'm of the opinion we will have no problem filling an 85k seat stadium 10-20 years down the line.

Don't forget the tax payers paid for that dump of a place known as home of the Rams.
