If Odom doesn't find a way to turn things, he's going to end up 2-10 or 1-11, and I can't see any way he survives into next year, even.
I have to ask... what's it going to take for people pissed off by the protests in 2015 to get over it? They've completely turned over the administration leadership that was in place. Some of the players and students involved in the protests are still at Mizzou, but most have moved on. (And you couldn't booted every player on the team unless you wanted to self-impose a death penalty). Seriously. What's it going to take to get over it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I think the last vestiges of people talking about it will go away when the MAJOR sports (basketball and football) finally regain some respectability. Put some pride back in what is on the court and what is on the field and people tend to forget a lot. You have to admit that what we have watched the last few years in regards to football and basketball isn't something to be happy about. So people have to have something/someone to blame and it's easy to point back to that. (Right or wrong....) Do we have a better AD...absolutely. Does it appear that we could actually have a basketball team worth watching in the winter.....absolutely! That gives me a little hope....but you have to admit that we are a few years away from regaining any respect in football. That has more to do with poor choices in coaching and recruiting than anything else. I could care less that there is a smaller enrollment this fall....what is sad is watching a less than competitive situation in sports. No matter what the reason... |

As much as you guys want to kick and flail your feet around, the CS1950 ordeal didn't hurt the sports program.
It didn't hurt them hiring a minority BB coach and pulling together a majorly impressive recruiting class. As much as you snowflakes want to cry, the kids didn't give a shit. Football was declining before the shit started. Man too bad we couldn't of held strong with are amazing 4-6 record before the protests began. Yep, the protests really hurt the bad recruiting classes Pinkel had leading up to it. Wait, it didn't. Dumb protests didn't make them forget football fundaments or turn them into a bizarre "unit" Footnall protests didn't make Maty Mauk snort coke and put out Drew Lock. University protests aren't why Lock sucks. An extremely incompetent AD (here's a shocker, also hired before it) couldn't do his job and amazingly enough, still can't. It hasn't stopped Sterk from raising record figures even after all these boosters alleged they weren't donating anymore. Looks like that wasn't true. Nobody is denying an impact on the protests overall, but it's not affecting the sports programs, even though you guys really really hope it does. Jim Sterk is going to make another good hire, you guys will pout because that's all you really want to do in the end, and the football program will get turned around. |

I think the fact of Mizzou football being in the dumpster right now just forces people to want to assign blame as to WHY they're so bad, and the CS1950 shit is the low hanging fruit to that goal. If Mizzou turns it around and wins 8 games next year, not a single person will bring up CS1950 in relation to football again.

You mean when one of the players ****ing MURDERED his teammate and the scumbag coach worked like a dog to cover it up, including trying to get all of his players to lie and say the same the poor murdered SOB was a drug dealer? Or when the university systematically covered up multiple sexual assault allegations, engaged in structured victim blaming, and let the coach run wild in pursuit of wins? Both are far, far down the road from players joining a protest on their campus and getting basic support from their coaches. I think the points about success being a key to people getting over it are good. And that it is sticking for those pissed about the lack of success. Mack Rhoades and R Bowen Loftin were the biggest cancers that have been excised. Rhoades with his ghost man act, lack of work, and terrible handling of things/terrible hires. |

I was at the game last night. We went to Flat Branch Brewery for a drink and a meal before the game. It was outstanding. Got a bus to the stadium, sat upstairs on the east side at about the 40 yard line, watched the sun go down. Mizzou looked like a Pop Warner Team trying to play Rockhurst. It was brutal. Can't remember a game this bad since Oklahoma beat them 77-0 back when Bob Stull was the coach. The air just had totally left the stadium about four minutes into the game. Mizzou made so many unforced errors, it just looked to me like they were poorly, and I mean POORLY coached.
We left the game after Mizzou's second TD, it was 51-14. By that time there was about 2,000 Auburn fans and about 200 Mizzou fans left in the stadium. We went back to the bus, and the bus supervisor made us wait till the game was over before the bus would leave. People were PISSED OFF. Took us around 45 minutes to get back to our car, got home after Midnight. One good thing I'll say. Mizzou girls like to wear high hemmed summer dresses with cowboy boots, and they look smokin hot. No shortage of pretty women at Mizzou. Last edited by gblowfish; 09-24-2017 at 08:56 AM.. |

Flat Branch Brewery is a must stop every time we go see the kid. Great everything there.

And yes, you are denying it's impact. And no I really don't want it to... I hope Sterk makes a good hire this time and turns the major sports around. He started by getting Cuonzo Martin...now let's see if he has to stones to get ride of a guy who is just completely over-matched when it comes to being a head coach at an SEC football team. |

I think Sterk is pulling all the right cords....I just worry that he will give Odom another season before pulling the plug. |
