yeah, I didn't take it that you were bragging at all. More power to you if you can and are willing to make donations to the program. As a fan, it's great when there is support for the program. I was just trying to be clear on the "cost" of making those donations as there may be people that misint...

Appreciate the support for the Mizzou program. But, you realize the tax brackets are "marginal". Let's say the 52% to 55% bracket change occurs at $750k and your taxable profit is $1M. Then you only pay the 3% increase on the amount above the 52% level or $250k in this case, not the full $1M. Si...

Agreed. The locker room clearly has a solid team bond. Everyone seems bought in. Talent is required but not sufficient. I suspect based on recruiting rankings we are beating more talented teams on paper now. That’s about development, coaching, culture. Drink is still learning but he is a young coac...

All good problems to have... I'd rather everyone want the Mizzou coaching staff rather than us needing to get rid of them. I would be more worried about the OC/DC trying to move up to head coach. I think Drink is from the midwest and if he builds a good program, Mizzou pays competitive, he'll like...

... they are better (and more fun to watch) than the 2014 team. 2007 / 2013 are the best in recent memory for sure, but this team should end up one win away from that level. Atmosphere is great, sell out crowds have been awesome. I know a lot of people are not huge fans of Drink but I like the ...

I will be the first to admit that I didn’t think Dennis Gates was a great hire but I was wrong. Can’t believe how fast he has turned things around. This is a monster recruiting class. Another 5-star is leaning Mizzou too. Great times for the b-ball program… finally....

Drink is only 5 games into the 3rd year. I don’t think you can assess that he doesn’t have it based on this sample size in combination with the dumpster fire that Odom left. Odom was really clear, really fast that he wasn’t the guy. Drink’s recruiting is the best in the history of the program. H...

re: Eli Hot Seat Tracker

Posted by truman_in_nc on 9/26/22 at 12:58 am
It was brutal watching the game yesterday, but I agree. It’s still too early to make a call to fire the HC. Odom left a total dumpster fire. It takes much longer in football and one or two year guys are not going to provide massive turn around even with the stellar recruiting. Those guys are sti...

re: Mizzou @ K State

Posted by truman_in_nc on 9/10/22 at 3:17 pm
I was upset with the play calling initially like everyone else. But after watching the 4 interceptions, it’s clear why the play calling is the way it is. That’s why Drink was in such a huge push for a transfer QB. He knew they didn’t have a QB ready. The offensive line isn’t there yet either...

re: Flash back to last year

Posted by truman_in_nc on 11/27/21 at 11:13 am
I think the situation is more complicated with the transfer portal. To an earlier comment, we have a QB room full of backups. If you throw in Cook, it looks like Drink is picking a "winner" and there is risk you lose QB's to the portal... and what if there is an injury. I bet Horn is the next tru...
