Meanwhile, here I sit in a non Midwest/Southern area with a Mizzou degree and it might as well be fricking Columbia College.

I don't know what they thought Mizzou would become, but it's pretty clear most schools are the product of their state and our product is well trained adults that everyone outside of the midwest and SEC bubbles thinks are morons.

Mizzou aint Washington or UCLA. It maybe could have been, but then someone used shite to draw a swastika on a wall in a dorm and now we're Angola.

:Big10:

Lane to Mizzou exposes this as the attention farming operation it is.

shite is message board terrorism and I thought we got rid of that under Dubya.

Good.

We have this thing that developed in the Big8/12 days about "doing the right thing" and being hard to get into and shite, but that's all gone away.

Mizzou isn't close to a "Public Ivy" anymore, probably never really was, but it's sure as hell not now with all this acceptance stuff.

Not claiming 1960 is a relic from a time when we were "better" than our compatriots, more honorable.

I hope we've learned that being honorable doesn't pay dividends. These are decisions "we" made a long time ago, but we could have had the benefits just as long ago had we not made the honorable decision.

Learn the lesson.

Nobody respects a Mizzou degree like it's better than an Arkansas or Iowa degree outside of select areas like Journalism (a joke in general, but we're also sucking in those rankings) or maybe some ag shite.

Claim everything.

Merlin says he's in Vegas for a while. Might just like it there. Money's good for him and players, and fringe benefits are solid.

Probably really comes down to what "for cause" means in his buyout clause.

If he was hired to coach players then maybe he was fired without cause. If his job is to win games/perform on key performance metrics (like winning games) he may have been fired for cause.

Truth is, most of the people talking about this are meatheads or hicks trying to determine what's going to happen based on contract law. It could easily be that LSU has a PIP system and he's been written up enough to create cause, just like any other state employee but with a higher salary and no union representation.

Wouldn't say that, but it can be that in the future. Lots of untapped potential out there. We've got location in the SEC (and the state tbh) against us, but winning cures all and I trust Drink to do it more than anyone else on the board if he were to dip out on us.

Changing the culture takes time, Pink was there and we fricked up that whole transition. Stronger now.

Agree. No need to even consider him

Plus, dumb name that doesnt make sense in the souf

If Drink leaves, it's because of what I said in the PSU thread and the self fulfilling policy of the "woe is me" Missouri fan where we don't think we can ever win. We got a great glimpse of it in the Vandy game. "lose by a half yard" and mentions of the north endzone bullshite curse. Fanbase is snakebitten but wants to be good. Expect this dude to stay because we've set it up for him to be the first real national championship coach at Mizzou and he wants to do that because we've made it easier than anyone else to have the opportunity.

Cubs curse shite only works when they're lovable losers. Mizzou fans aren't lovable losers. We need to win and Drink is the one to do it. Not because he's great, but because winning makes everything you do okay and we've set him up for everything he does to be okay when it comes to paying high schoolers or getting facilities. I love this man until he shits on us and leaves and I know he won't do that. Only difference between us and blueblood is history and shitty cursestricken fans and weve set a fence around the state of Missouri (including LOTO) that is a huge advantage.
