Crazy how a few months ago missouri fans were talking about how Gates was gonna take over the SEC
That is important to point out
They really thought they’d have another year like last year and didn’t foresee this result whatsoever

Here. This is part of why I don't watch college basketball.

It also makes zero sense to me that Mizzou cannot put it together in basketball.
I can explain. In 1996, as a recent Mizzou grad, I was watching Mizzou football lose to Memphis at home. I was near the top of the stadium on the east side. At one point I turned around and looked at the Hearnes Center and thought, I'd gladly trade our good basketball program for a good football program.
And, you see what happened: Mizzou went 5-4 the rest of that season and then ended the 13 consecutive losing season streak the next year. Norm Stewart was gone shortly thereafter and a year after that, Pinkel was hired. And, in spite of the few good basketball seasons afterwards, and the fact that football has had considerable growing pains, basically, my wish was granted.
So, sorry, that was the deal. But, I'd still take it 100 times out of 100. Having a cellar-dwelling football team is far worse than a last place basketball team.

I remember folks saying y'all might take a step back because you lost some pieces of the puzzle going into this season.
I didn't think it would be this bad. But hell, I didn't think Arkansas would be in freefall this year either. The thing with the new dynamic in basketball is that you can go from the Penthouse to the Outhouse in an off season.

I sure miss Norm Stewart. He is the greatest coach who looked like a buzzard that ever lived. Rick "Buzzard" Barnes is closing in on him though.

Kentucky, because of the tradition and legacy; it's their sport. They're currently angry and embarrassed with a 20 win NCAA Tourney team, because they're 2 games out of 1st place.
Vandy, because they will never ever ever win in football, and "need" to be good in something else.

Or a locker room stall in our case.

Former Big 8 schools understand what a treasure he was as a coach,

LSU has really improved this second half of the season and is trending up.

Is this like a Support Group? Hog fans need to check in for sure.
