Again, why do you want "change". Just change for change sake? You want to take a ride on the coaching carousel? I assure you that you don't.
Why do we want to change when a coach is winning? I know, I know...he wasn't but now he is and we still can't be bothered to support the program because we aren't "sold".
Give me a break. You can fire Odom and shite on the next guy constantly when he doesn't produce immediate results and he won't win either.
In order to win, you need fan support. It's that simple. People get all pissed off about recruiting but fail to acknowledge the effect that a swarm of negativity and half empty stadiums has.
This is what I've always said. BO has a real uphill battle here because a large portion of the fanbase has already made up their mind. It's very difficult for most people to admit they were wrong. Just win...well, he's winning but it's too late, or the teams we are beating or good enough or or or...It's always going to be something
If you want a successful program, it requires fan support. If you don't want to, that's fine but don't bitch when things don't work out.

That won’t be the expectation, especially if both Lock and TBJ leave for the NFL.
I really don't see Lock leaving.
TBJ could, but I'd be surprised if he gets a 1st round grade.

We need the Dept of Conservation to adjust deer season to begin during an away game each year.
I end up going to 4-5 games a season, and try to make one an away game. For me with two young kids its hard to make every game. (harder now that we live in Chicago). It was a two hour drive, a few hours of tailgating which they enjoy and are able to run around, and then a 3 hour game with nothing for them to do but watch the game. It difficult to take them too many games, so I end up going only half the time with buddies.

I don't want to see change. I want to see improvement. Right now all I see is a pattern, repeated 2 years in a row. Break the pattern, and I'll start to believe.

Well, we were 4-8 last year. Looking like we'll finish 7-5 this year with a chance at a bowl win.
That's seems more like improvement than a pattern to me.

The diehards are beyond criticism. But, Mizzou fans don't support this team even when they are playing well and we have a bad reputation for not traveling well. Remember when we beat Kansas back in the B12 and they still put Kansas in the more prestigious Orange Bowl and Mizzou got the Cotton Bowl because Mizzou fans don't travel well.

Damn you are getting tiresome as hell with this stuff, Jesus YOU are the one who keeps railing on I told you so. Listen the product the first 6 weeks was bad enough that ANY coach could deserve to get canned. They have turned the corner and I am happy for Mizzou and for BO as well. I hope he succeeds because that means Mizzou os being successful.

Lets see them beat someone with a pulse, maybe in a bowl. Then lets see them start next year like they know how to play football.
I want to believe, I really do, but I've not seen enough. I remember how they finished last year. And I remember "Soon".

The way Mizzou is playing right now is not the same as the team finished last year.

Yes it's tiresome but that's his narrative and he's sticking to it.

This is surely about that mizzou person without the top in the game thread. I agree, someone should control the topless fans better.

That wasn’t because Mizzou doesn’t travel well. It was because the Big 12 delighted in screwing Mizzou over. Especially versus one of the conference queens.

Being the loser in a conference championship game was a death sentence in the BCS
