     Yes, he's rebuilt the program in 1 year.(nm) - Mizzmi27 MU - 2/14 11:19:20
     And yet you still give him strike 1. (nm) - Bucky Larson MU - 2/14 10:50:07
     I see him more as a 5th level cleric. - GoldenTiger MU - 2/14 10:34:01
     Lost 4 of the top 6 players? - tjwheeler UI - 2/14 09:54:58
          Productivity does not matter to Fiji. And not - alwaysright MU - 2/14 11:04:19
          It's got a top 10 team - kmawv8 MU - 2/14 10:03:06
          He is totally clueless. (nm) - go tigers MU - 2/14 10:02:00
               And proves it on a daily basis (nm) - hou4mu MU - 2/14 10:53:57
          Fiji has an irrational hatred of Kim - Ragnar Danneskjold MU - 2/14 09:59:59
          Top 6 players last year for MU - FIJItiger MU - 2/14 09:56:14
               Russell Woods was better than Puryear - hou4mu MU - 2/14 10:51:47
                    FYI, they are both on that 6 player list (nm) - FIJItiger MU - 2/14 10:56:02
               Well, assuming you can just make an ignorant list, yes(nm) - tjwheeler UI - 2/14 09:58:49
                    People who subjected themselves to watching MU play last - FIJItiger MU - 2/14 10:01:31
                         I went to every home game last year and watched the rest - go tigers MU - 2/14 10:04:15
                              While I believe you watch all of our games - FIJItiger MU - 2/14 10:05:48
                         My subjective opinion is you didn't watch closely(nm) - tjwheeler UI - 2/14 10:03:25

                    I was talking about ability, not production - FIJItiger MU - 2/14 09:59:58
                         I think Kemp, Rau, Glassman, Wolf had the most ability - tjwheeler UI - 2/14 10:01:18
                              They did not. Leads me to question the validity of your - FIJItiger MU - 2/14 10:02:24
                                   You weren't watching closely enough. My subjective opinion - tjwheeler UI - 2/14 10:02:55
                                        You are entitled to that incorrect opinion - FIJItiger MU - 2/14 10:04:26

          It could be debated. Just not effectively (nm) - FIJItiger MU - 2/14 09:41:37
               Where are your facts to prove it? - Hoosier Daddy1 IU - 2/14 09:42:47
                    Take conference games out of the two schedules and look - kmawv8 MU - 2/14 09:47:31
                         What was the final count in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge?(nm) - TheWildcat STL - 2/14 09:48:17
                              SEC - 6 Big 12 -4 - Hoosier Daddy1 IU - 2/14 09:51:13
                                   How did the SEC decide which programs wouldn't participate?(nm) - tjwheeler UI - 2/14 09:57:55
                                        You keep bringing this up. While that may be an advantage - kmawv8 MU - 2/14 10:01:39
                                             I brought it up once since B12-SEC challenge day. - tjwheeler UI - 2/14 10:05:05
                                                  according to your post below, that would be the 11th time - kmawv8 MU - 2/14 10:08:09
                                                       I discussed on day of challenge and then again today. - tjwheeler UI - 2/14 10:09:56

                                                                      Yes, it is very unlikely that it happens, but it DID happen - kmawv8 MU - 2/14 10:22:04
                                                                      3 of the 4 b12 wins came against our 11, 12, 13 teams. - bornoncampus MU - 2/14 10:21:50
                                                                           Home teams? - tjwheeler UI - 2/14 10:28:16
                                                                                TJ, your point is that the SEC gets to choose who plays. ok. - bornoncampus MU - 2/14 10:54:05
                                                                                     I understand the meta here. - tjwheeler UI - 2/14 11:22:24
                                                                      In theory, our 10th best team should be as bad/good - TheWildcat STL - 2/14 10:21:33
                                                                           Not if you take out the 4 programs with the worst - tjwheeler UI - 2/14 10:24:32
                                                                                Here it is in cold truth. Played 59 - 67. Didn't play 29-21. - bornoncampus MU - 2/14 10:34:52
                                                                                     Thanks(nm) - tjwheeler UI - 2/14 11:25:46
                                                                                okay, but this year 75% of the b12 wins came against our - bornoncampus MU - 2/14 10:27:06

                                                                                          Doesn't really matter. We aren't talking historically. - TheWildcat STL - 2/14 10:31:43
                                                                                               Yeah, I'm still not convinced SEC is better. - tjwheeler UI - 2/14 11:32:12
                                                                                          we're talking about one year, not the norm. - kmawv8 MU - 2/14 10:31:21
                                                                 I really do think the SEC is stronger than the Big 12 this - TheWildcat STL - 2/14 10:15:44
                                                                      I agree (nm) - kmawv8 MU - 2/14 10:19:50
                                        Based on records the previous year - Hoosier Daddy1 IU - 2/14 09:58:40

                                                                 I repeat they are not a strong program - Hoosier Daddy1 IU - 2/14 10:06:32
