Most preseason expectations for Mizzou - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/2 11:27:43

Not really anyone directly familiar with his body of - FIJItiger MU

- 7/2 16:09:27

No one has come close to matching the success Norm - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/2 16:48:03

Agree. There is a pre-2014 vs post-2014 delineation for MU - FIJItiger MU

- 7/2 17:57:03

The delineation for MU shouldn’t be 2014 - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/2 18:04:47

MU was still a nationally relevant program from ‘96-2013 - FIJItiger MU

- 7/2 18:12:51

Mizzou made the tournament 11 of those 20 seasons - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/2 19:40:51

His last 2 NCAA games were effectively blowout losses. - Diamond Dave MU

Needs to get a lot, lot better on game day. - Diamond Dave MU

- 7/2 10:25:36

He’s fine on game day - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/2 10:32:18

he lost to worse rosters in each tournament so that - TigerA MU - 7/2 10:35:32

He also beat teams with better rosters - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/2 10:41:28

he's had 2 good years and 1 god awful year. (nm) - TigerA MU - 7/2 10:47:39

Barely above .500 overall (with easy wins built in) but - Diamond Dave MU

- 7/2 10:46:24

Bruce Pearl at the same stage at Auburn was 10 games - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/2 10:50:20

pearl was a proven coach before auburn(nm) - TigerA MU - 7/2 10:53:27

Diamond Drake would have fired him after 3 years - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/2 10:58:15

Probably. Definitely wouldn't have hired him in the first - Diamond Dave MU

- 7/2 14:53:31

i agree as of now. if its the same in 2 more years i don't - TigerA MU - 7/2 11:00:24

The early predictions for next season are another - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/2 11:25:23

That’s a myth. - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/2 11:33:19

that settles it (nm) - TigerA MU - 7/2 11:49:07

I have missed the teams that have gone from worst to best - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/2 11:57:18

i never said "best" at all (nm) - TigerA MU - 7/2 13:28:28

Mizzou finished 6th in the best conference - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/2 13:42:38

Diamond Drake has no impact on me. They did spank that - Diamond Dave MU

- 7/2 15:11:11

Finishing the season as a top 20 team is mediocre - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/2 15:16:40
