re: Why can’t Missou break through???

Wow. Considering ho many fans that you have in St Louis and Kansas City (combined metro areas population of 5 million),why is your football team ranked attendance 13th in the SEC?
College football ratings for Missouri games in both markets are also abysmal. Some of the worst numbers for markets that are supposed to be in the SEC.
Missouri football has been much better than Arkansas for the last 10-15 years. But no one in the entire state cares outside of the five Missouri people that post here!!!
When Drink leaves, there will be 35-40k people in the stands within two years.

From some reason, St. Louis leans more towards Illinois and KC is a KU town.
Not sure why and seems annoying.

Well, Trump made Marco Rubio acting national security advisor and acting national archivist as well as Secretary of State.
I think he could easily handle acting president, athletic director and head football coach for LSU.

Going to be an impressive accomplishment fixing LSU’s entire athletic department while being Ole Miss’s HC at the same time.

Wow. Arkansas made it. Must be a pretty exclusive club.

Think the lack of interest was mutual.
Jay Johnson is a pretty good example of rational moves. Nevada to Arizona to LSU. Each of those were big jumps

Hes basically admitting LSU cant compete financially with the big dogs.
What is crazy is that it can. It is sixth in athletic revenue for public universities and finished ahead of UF and PSU in the 2024 fiscal year (though to be fair that figure doesn’t count foundations).
It is more of the type of fit that people throw on sports talk radio about the $25 million a year NFL player who is sitting out a month because of a hamstring.
I think people overestimate the pull of the 10th ranking program for someone from the 15th program.
It is the reason Tony Vitello wasn’t interested in the LSU job. LSU clearly is the best college baseball job but it is just another top tier college baseball job. It isn’t like jumping from University of Louisiana to Florida like Napier did.
People do leave leave top tier jobs for similar ones but it is usually location related (Eric Musselman or Lincoln Riley wanting to move to LA) or personal (Bielema not wanting to have Barry Alvarez hovering over his shoulder) or they want to go back to their Alma Mater.
The fact Brian Kelly wanted to leave Notre Dame for LSU should have been a red flag right away.

What is the remark about Brazil? It is the country of the future and always will be.
Sometimes potential can be hard to realize. I remember reading an article about 15 years ago arguing there were four schools since WW II that had huge untapped potential: A&M, UNC, UCLA and Illinois.
All had access to prime recruits. Three of the four were close to prime media markets. But all had vastly underperformed.
I know that A&M looks incredible now but that article still held up well as of August.

Think that Auburn’s traditional issue is that it is like Poland (sandwiched between two larger powers).
If Alabama and Georgia are in disarray (e.g., 1955-58 or late 90s), Auburn is in business. Even if one of the two drops off (Alabama under Shula), Auburn can still be dangerous. But it is difficult to have a top tier team when both teams are hitting on recruiting and player development.
UF faces the same challenges from FSU and Miami but the state is larger than Alabama/GA so you can have three top flight teams at the same time.
LSU has the advantage of a talent rich state to itself and can compete in Mississippi when Ole Miss and MSU are down.
NIL may help expand that reach andI think Freeze has made an effort to expand Auburn’s recruiting reach. However their roster is still very AL/GA- centric in an era where DeBoer and Smart’s staff are killing it in recruiting.
