Everyone else can integrate into Mizzou arena and of course the baseball stadium would stay up until new one is built.

It is not just for using events that they need their own space. Both wrestling and gymnastics require their own facilities for practice space as well as locker rooms etc. Indoor track obviously needs a larger space just to have a track and throwing space.

No the whole fricking team disappeated that day, Burden had a 70 or so yard TD called back in the 1st half. Thing with recievers is tto shine they need others to perform. THe whole team sucked that day for sure, Burden included. That game along with drop in production in the year hurt him. Brady Cook fricked him on production by being arse on any deep throws. He missed 5-6 TD's plus 100's of yards by missing wide open Burden downfield all year. The OC also hurt as the nonsensical use of Burden and the offensive playcalling overall was hot garbage.

For Mizzou they are not our rival. Rivalries take time and they are a natural rival as they are close and have similar historical success as football programs. The games in football have not been the type of games to fuel a rivalry. South Carolina games have been more those type of games but nothing else besides having the same city name. As all know the only real rivlary is with kansas and to an extent Nebraska and Illinois.

Problem in wrestling NIL is that Oklahoma State and Iowa are picking up all the big transfers. Iowa has to be money and exposure in the Big 10. Oklahoma State also has loads of cash plus they just got 2nd and they have the hot new coach in David Taylor. He was a WOrld Champion multiple times and all the kids growing up followed him. Good news is they have not been losing kids, minus Elam which has been expected for a long time.

were able to close out the season properly or was the series canceled before they could wrap everything up?

yes they do a good job wrapping it up but left room for more seasons if they wanted them.

Longtime wrestling fan here and this is my take. Off last years team we lost Big Elam, Mauller, Mocco all were All Americans. As this year started returning 3 time All American Rocky Eam out with injury for the seasin. Noah Surtin 4x qualifier out for career. Add to that O'Toole 2x National Champion was out for almost 2 months (just returned Saturday). As well stud newcomer Steed at 165 was injured and like O'Toole just came back. Top 10 ranked Hawks has been out about a month at 184 (just returned).At 149 national qualifier Gioffre has been out and just returned. This has led to a roster of as many as 8 2nd string guys wrestling of the 10 spots. On top of that is the loss of all the studs from the past years being out and then their replacments being hurt as well. Their have been some disappointments for sure, Moore at 133 has not improved as mush as hoped for from last year. The last couple of classes have been highly ranked but except for Steed at 165 and flashes from 125 Walker have nit shown much yet. The big get last year Sinclair has looked good but they are redshirting him.

Couple from pre SEC days in :



Gary Anderson



James Wilder cost Nebraska a national title kicking their arse in Lincoln and then beating LSU in the bowl game. Still leading rusher in Buccaneers history.



Henry Josey, leading rusher on the 2013 Mizzou team. Had to sit out over a year with a catastrophic knee injury vs Texas in 2011, thought he would never play again.

Sikeston, home of the Sikeston Train, James WIlder. If you are old enough you know how much a beast he was.
