We argue about all kinds of things up in here, and many times schools are criticized for how they honor their teams, and individuals.

You can bring up your own school or another one, doesn't matter.

Florida:
Good - Heisman statues

Bad - Steve Spurrier - Florida Field

Either leave it alone or change it. It sounds like a hyphenated last name which I hate.

Good moment: Um....

Bad moment: Giving Jimbo that frigging--idiot-of-an-idea trophy. I'm having a hard time not swearing with this one. Ugh. What a loser move.

Bad for UF: Not claiming our vacated SEC title even though everyone else in the conference still claims whatever they had vacated

Yeah I hated that too, but that was a sore subject for Spurrier. He did not get along with a lot of the boosters that were huge Charley Pell guys when he took over. He wanted no part of celebrating the 80's.

Good - Adding Shug's name to the stadium.

Bad - Heisman statues.

I'm glad we honored Sullivan, Bo, and Cam, but whoever picked that sculptor should be sacked. Later statues for Barkley and Thomas are much better. The Heisman bust is good.

Great:

Cody Schroeder representing everything good about college football.

Awful:

Weak university leadership folding like a cheap folding chair to a bunch of race-baiting frauds over “racism” in 2015.

Bad: When Bill Laurie donated $$$ for the basketball arena, but insisted on his daughter's name (Paige) to be on the court and for it to be called Paige Arena. She didn't even attend Mizzou! He just wanted her fricking name on the building/court.


Good: Thankfully, she was caught cheating at school, we immediately referred to the arena as The Plaige and the Laurie's backed off that stupid bullshite. Thanks for the $$$ Bill, but that was some fricked up bullshite.

“ Bad: Hump Renovation”

Wrong take. The renovation was very nice. Not taking the opportunity to rename the Coliseum after Babe McCarthy was bad.
George Duke Humphrey was the President of State 1934-1945. Name an academic building after him.
The coliseum should be named after our greatest basketball coach. Period.
