frick that if the guy called him a N***** and baited him into it then he deserved whatever he got. I find it convenient that all the video shows is the very end.

Not true. He called Hill a nagger because Hill kept telling him to be more respectful to the women at the bar. When the guy told Hill to get off his back, Hill obliged.

I agree. This is definitely Hill's Pearl Harbor.

Again....more arrests? Bama or lsu?

Alabama. How many of those players are still on the team? After all, isn't this really the issue. It's a little too early for Doyel to write this article because I certainly don't blame LSU for having someone on the team get arrested; but if Miles sweeps it under the rug then he deserves all the criticism he receives. If I were Miles, I would ask "What Would Meyer Do" and then do the exact opposite.

Miles likely knows Hill better than any of us, so only he knows what is appropriate. But, based on the limited information I have, I think the guy probably needs a reality check, and I would think it would be for the benefit of him and the team to sit a year while he reevaluates his priorities and decision making. In the grand scheme of things it isn't a severe penalty and may be the best thing that ever happened to him.

I lived in Nebraska in the 90s and grew to hate the Huskers, so naturally Mizzou has managed to dissapoint me more than a few times. Most notably, the 1997 "flea kicker" game.

If you do not remember or haven't seen the "flea kicker" play, you need to watch it. Mizzou had lost 18 games in a row to Nebraska who was ranked #1 and had won 2 of the last 3 national championships. Mizzou was up by 7 with less than a minute left when Nebraska drove the ball 55 yards to their own 12 yard line with 7 seconds remaining. Then the play happened . . . LINK

In retrospect, I'm really glad to have watched such an exciting play/game live.

Not trying to prove or accomplish anything. Simply listing the players from 2009 class where ESPN and Rivals had the greatest disagreement. Most people seem to think ESPN sucks. This is the chance to see if perception matches reality. ESPN's biggest misses were Chris Faulk (underrated), Kendall Kelly (overrated) and Fletcher Cox (underrated). Rivals' biggest misses were Tyrik Rollison (overrated), Michael Bowman (overrated) and Rod Woodson (overrated).

For the most part, ESPN and Rivals included the same players in their respective rankings with each player ranked pretty similarly (e.g., in my mind the difference between 50 and 100 is pretty insignificant, although I did include a few). Below are those players with the biggest difference in rankings. I did not intend to leave off A&M, Vanderbilt and Kentucky but that is the way the rankings worked out. Who was right as to each player? Who wins the final tally?
