My dad is an MU alum and was a former football/track player. He told me that a big reason MU's football team hit the pits in the 80's was due to some new female University President that MU had hired at that time. Supposedly she made the academic standards extremely difficult therefore making it hard to recruit good talent because a lot of the best athletes aren't too bright and they couldn't make the grades to get in. Going off what my dad said and what I've seen myself with several of the good MU JUCO recruits the last ten years that would be the case. Heck I remember my college advisor telling me my senior year that Mizzou,Baylor, and Colorado were hands down the most difficult Big 12 schools to get accepted into academically. I could be wrong but that whats its always seemed like to me. I do know they require a 21 score on the ACT as well, they probably make exceptions for scholarship players though.

Or maybe because Woody Widenhofer and Bob Stull were pretty shitty coaches...

Missouri's biggest mistake was in hiring Frank Broyles instead of Bob Devaney, who wanted the job. Devaney went to Nebraska and was dominant as college football started to take off. We know the rest. With no Devaney at Nebraska, there's no Osborne there, either. My dad hates Babs Uehling, too, though. Her direction of the academic side - and refusal to seek or release investment to the facilities at Mizzou - really crippled not just football but also basically all other sports at Mizzou.

I think I have the cherry, wasn't Bud Wilkinson an assistant to Don Faurot who would go on to make Oklahoma a powerhouse?

Wilkinson and Jim Tatum both learned the split-T (wishbone) offense that made Oklahoma a powerhouse from - guess who ... Don Faurot. Who taught it to them while coaching Army teams during WWII. At the time, the split-T was a powerhouse that no one else really knew anything about it, and without video, it was much harder to pick up opposing offenses.

All of these coaching follies can be explained by my signature. There is something inherent in the university that will always cause such futility.

If you're not shooting yourself in the foot, you must be aiming too high.

Did you make that up or did you hear it somewhere?

I made it up, I think. I was in a bit of an altered state of consciousness a day or two ago, and it popped into my head...first chance I've had to use it.
