re: Mizzou baseball ...

Could we ever be top 5 in SEC baseball?
Yes, it involved running second down two times resulting in penalties, including at least one unsportsmanlike on Burden. When everything was tallied, I got to see a 2nd and 59 for the first time in my life.
I guess that's a narrative.
I think he cost himself far more with some stupid penalties and tirades, including setting up 2nd and 59.

Agree with the notion that NIL is ruining some of these guys. Paid before putting in their dues. That's all of society today, though.

Not to argue, but I wasn't saying it was on Mizzou. just that if he wanted to maximize his career earnings, being in a rare situation even among blue chippers, he might be choosing what best prepares him for the most schemes at the pro level.

I would guess he wants top money and top coaching. A top LT like that, he is probably looking at lifetime earnings over 100 million, even if his body doesn't hold up for more than 6-8 years of pro.
If I were in that position, I'd want to know that the scheme and coaching were going to prepare me for the NFL at the best level possible.
I'm not criticizing Mizzou here, because I think we do all right with developing OL. No idea how well our scheme preps for the pro game.
He meant hiring bad coaches, terrible coaches, middling coaches, sprinkle in a good one...that kind of diversity. Smart coaches, dumb coaches, average coaches.
Anybody can attempt to only hire good, smart coaches.
Mizzou's braintrust made a once-in-multiple-decades choice when they passed on hiring Vitello. A former Mizzou pitcher even made clear he would give 1 million to Mizzou baseball if they hired Vitello. Vitello previously had great success as a pitching coach at Mizzou.

I don't even pay attention to baseball anymore. That AD made a terrible decision, and the people that put him in position to make that choice ultimately bear responsibility. I have too many options to follow incompetence.
I had no idea they were this bad until I saw this post.
Get a Nintendo.
Buy 1990 Tecmo Bowl.
Play Oakland Raiders.
Bo was the "cheat mode."
It's his SON he did this to. I can't imagine doing that to my son. I'd rather cut off my junk if it meant I was going to betray my son and his love for me, and my love for him.
The girl is garbage. But the father did the most un-fatherly thing he could have during the years where his son is supposed to gain confidence with women and eventually pick a good one for a wife.
I don't follow bball anymore, but nice to hear those two are still working. Sounds like they haven't changed from when I listened.
I did always appreciate that they would flat out say if a Mizzou player got beat, or made a mistake.

Good question. Seems a J-school with a (usually) top 15 program would want to cover it.

Mormons buy their "promised land" in Missouri whenever they can.
But the actual bloodthirsty mormon killers were the Illinois residents. Basically erased a town of 15,000 mormons.
All of corporate media. sports or not. every cookie-cutter announcer on sports broadcasts, too.
why LSU fans make so many posts about Missouri?

We're just shivering up here in the great white north minding our own business.

Pure lie. Grew up in StL and never heard pop until visiting Michigan.

But the NCAA separately made a rule that anyone who has played any at the JC level gets a year added back to their eligibility, so the injuction wouldn't affect that ruling.

It's the opposite. The tax revenues generated from the small towns and rural areas filter in to the big cities, who control things with politics and send less money back out to the rural areas that received by them.
GDP is a false idol.

Was always that way.
