I was talking about Mizzou being at a disadvantage in the arms race.

Our facilities and recruiting budget were always near the bottom of the SEC and only average in the Big 12

So MU boosters were able to outbid OU and UGA for WN - mu-ku 2009 MU - 8/14 10:12:20

Imagine how Drink could recruit if he won games - ChinaTiger KC - 8/14 11:06:33

it's pretty simple - o'lineydisciple MU - 8/14 12:26:28

Franklin was better than Blaine and probably a more - Diamond Dave MU

- 8/14 12:34:48

no i'm sorry we hate him because he refused to take a - phrejd MU - 8/14 12:48:53

Well played(nm) - DevilsAdvocate KC - 8/14 13:50:04

agree(nm) - SabertoothTiger MU - 8/14 12:44:35

Agreed (nm) - SatoriTiger JC - 8/14 12:42:08

This year will tell. He is now playing with his own - Erwin Fletcher STL - 8/14 11:51:43

He's been playing with his own players in previous - Diamond Dave MU

- 8/14 12:08:25

nah, he was gifted several pros from Odom(nm) - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 8/14 12:25:40

With the transfer portal, it shouldn't have taken him this - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 8/14 11:57:10

he is allowed to make some mistakes - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 8/14 12:23:04

The entire season hinges on who he makes qb starter - mu-ku 2009 MU - 8/14 12:03:33

I think the biggest disparity I've seen is Scott Frost - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 8/14 11:46:49

What a scam - Genco98 MU - 8/14 11:55:27

Good example (nm) - ChinaTiger KC - 8/14 11:52:59

RE: Imagine how Drink could recruit if he won games - cybertyger MU - 8/14 11:43:05

We are not the worst fans in the SEC. You have no clue. - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 8/14 11:59:44

We were worse in Drink year 2/3 than year 1 - ChinaTiger KC - 8/14 11:51:42

Drink has one above-average SEC class - zoomer 99 - 8/14 11:32:56

yeah, those recruits should have made an impact - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 8/14 11:12:19

You doing the manic white knight thing again? (nm) - ChinaTiger KC - 8/14 11:18:25

all i know is if these '24 recruits don't win this year - phrejd MU - 8/14 11:19:51

But they'll just be freshman/rs freshman/sophomores - ChinaTiger KC - 8/14 11:22:11

no, I think we'll have a pretty good idea in a few months - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 8/14 11:35:01

agreed... we need to see some progress this year (nm) - zounami MU - 8/14 15:30:02

Drink was the better coach in most of his losses last year. - zounami MU - 8/14 11:08:52

Except for how he coached that punt block against UK - Genco98 MU - 8/14 11:51:43

multiple game-losing flukes that could only happen to Mizzou - zounami MU - 8/14 15:29:25

Talent and depth, huh? Are we still blaming Barry for - Diamond Dave MU

- 8/14 11:31:23

"NIL" and the portal happened (nm) - zounami MU - 8/14 15:27:24

I agree with you. At this point, it's his responsibility to - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 8/14 11:37:03

now, that's quite subjective(nm) - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 8/14 11:15:46

He hasn't chosen us yet(nm) - Diamond Dave MU

- 8/14 10:44:01

based on our recent BB recruiting, we've definitely had... - zounami MU - 8/14 10:15:00

Bball has a much better coach (nm) - Columbian Gold MU - 8/14 10:47:49

Much better? Hard to say and it's a LOT easier to churn - Diamond Dave MU

- 8/14 11:34:29

it's looking like that, but time will tell - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 8/14 11:01:03

that would be great, if it turns out to be true (nm) - zounami MU - 8/14 10:54:05

so you're starting to understand that Mizzou's war chest - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 8/14 10:35:39

maybe, but my concern has always been the arms race... - zounami MU - 8/14 10:44:13

so it would be like the last 30 years?(nm) - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 8/14 11:01:51

IDK... can we build the kind of rosters we had in '07 & '13 - zounami MU - 8/14 11:05:51

those rosters weren't built on 4 and 5 star recruits - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 8/14 11:10:33

They were built on a system that *punished* transfers... - zounami MU - 8/14 11:16:28

I'm not sure what that has to do with anything I posted - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 8/14 12:21:17

The disadvantage is greater now than it was over the last 30 - zounami MU - 8/14 15:14:48

Messiah complex - MoArk MU - 8/14 10:51:50

what? (nm) - zounami MU - 8/14 10:54:26

Yeah, may just have to accept 6-6 and 7-5 seasons - Diamond Dave MU

- 8/14 10:46:31

not necessarily... top-level talent is distributed more - zounami MU - 8/14 10:53:20

Should and agree with your last line(nm) - Diamond Dave MU

- 8/14 11:32:46

I heard it was The Olde Un - Blitzkrieg OU - 8/14 10:22:27

Bitter ? Already ? - Nohawks KC - 8/14 11:26:47

Not bitter - Blitzkrieg OU - 8/14 11:53:21

as they say in the investment industry - lqf2b8 KC - 8/14 13:30:05

Do you see any irony - Nohawks KC - 8/14 12:41:13

The Kroenkes you think?? Nm - mu-ku 2009 MU - 8/14 10:15:46

If they got behind us we could win the NC.......nm - HDTiger MU - 8/14 10:18:45

true but based on the stl situation, i'm not sure how - TigerA MU - 8/14 10:27:35

He had no ties (that I know of) to St. Louis. He took... - winslow MU - 8/14 11:33:56

yes, he screwed over an entire city to enrich himself... - zounami MU - 8/14 15:24:27

it's not the Kroenkes... they wouldn't do it anonymously (nm) - zounami MU - 8/14 10:32:36

correct (nm) - zounami MU - 8/14 10:26:02

the Gyros(nm) - TigerA MU - 8/14 10:17:25

Also interesting theory from the OU board - mu-ku 2009 MU - 8/14 10:14:19

Haha. Sure. What a bunch of idiots. (nm) - Lerxst MU

- 8/14 10:55:45

That’s a dumb theory. (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/14 10:40:56
