I agree, we don't take baseball seriously at Mizzou. You are the one that brought up Texas. Population is a pretty big factor when comparing the two states, but I'm not going to defend our futility in college baseball. We obviously have an extraordinarily shitty coaching staff, with extraordinarily shitty players. That part we can change overnight, but if we don't, then the calls for shuttering the program will be more than justified.

should have to give back their NIL $

They should have to pay back their NIL cash, but I've got a feeling that would amount to about $350, which therein lies part of the problem.

Well if they win a game now they are really going to have to earn it. A&M and State are both playing much better and need the wins, so they will be grinding out every game. After Mizzou this weekend A&M finishes at Georgia, and State has Ole Miss this weekend, so they might come into CoMo having to win all 3 games just to make the postseason.

The first step is always, always, to stop the bleeding. That means a change of head coach. Ideally you want a proven program builder, but nothing wrong with settling for someone who's had some level of success at this point.

Texas has multiple schools in the state that really care about college baseball
Not like LSU, Ole Miss, State, Arkansas. Small population states that pour their soul into their schools baseball program.
And all I’ve heard from SEC fans is that Texas’s fans don’t give a shite. A&M has 75,000 people on campus and it’s a cult so it’s a bit of an outlier.

Yes, and hopefully we haven't already bled out. Whether or not we keep this coach will tell you whether or not we have any baseball blood left.

Like why don’t you care about the ONE college baseball team in the center of the state?
The best D1 program since the 1980's in Missouri has clearly been Missouri State. Missouri has had some good teams over the decades but Missouri State up until Gutn retired have been exceedingly good World Series appearance, multiple big leagers etc.

I’m entirely too concerned this may come to pass.
Every team that played Mizzou this year felt that way before the series.. and in baseball, you just never know.. but they are actually that bad. You don't understand it until you play them.

I haven't watched a single inning. The scores tell the entire story. Anyone who loses to Mizzou baseball....well, you suck.

I think what's hurting Missouri is not the state, but the town. College baseball, for most schools, is very much a local concern. While there are folks like me who drive long distances to follow their team, that's a rarity in college baseball. Strong college baseball programs have strong local support. The failure of Missouri baseball is a failure of Columbia. Unless the local folks decide to step up and give Missouri a chance to compete, I don't see things improving.

The fact your coach doesn’t put all of the best pitchers into one game is funny. Try to go 1-2 every weekend. Put your top 2 against the other team’s #3.

I have lived in Columbia for 5 years. Post covid there has been zero interest raised for the sport in Columbia. Blame the town all you want but the University has done ZERO promotion and the product has been an embarrasment. Hell even the shitty basketbal team from the year before at least cometed in many games when they went winless. People say its lame but honestly I would travel 2 hours west along I-70 to watch the Royals then 10 minutes in town to watch the putrid product they put out. Hell I support many teams on campus and regularly attend football, basketbsll, wrestling and gymnastics. But why waste my time watching the shitshow on the diamond, it is not a money thing it is a waste of time. They have to commit to putting out a product that will get people in the seats, hell softball has way more attendance.

The Mizzou AD has a big decision to make in a few weeks concerning this program. If the move is "no move at all," then the choice has been made behind closed doors to let this thing die like a sick, old dog headed for the woods.
If the DEI coach is fired, then perhaps there is still some hope left for this program. We shall see.

Like I said before, the alumni who have a vested interest in this program need to step up, or say goodbye to baseball at Mizzou.

Chris Lemonis would have saved them from 0-30, but he’s gone now so it’s less of a given that State drops a game or two against them.
Even if you set this year aside… the fact that Mizzou has never made the NCAAT as a member of the SEC is pretty pathetic. Like how in 13 years do you not even put together a team that sneaks in as a 3 seed?

I 100% agree with you. When they passed on Tony V. and brushed off Scherzer it was a massive frickup. Past is the past different admin and all. They need to work to get that support. If they do not care the shitshow will drag on and on.
