Like playing on that shit team is going to do anything for his "professional livelihood." If anything he'll try to use it as a feather in his cap with the media. "Amazing Mizzou athlete only being blackballed from the NFL because of standing up for his beliefs." He'll use it generate interest just like that one who sucks the penis sam.

It's not the first time this has happened at Mizzou. If any of you went during the 1980s, you may remember Shantytown. They didn't just keep doing that over and over because the University acquiesced to one set of demands. They made their point, affected a positive change, and moved on. |

Let them strike!
The way I see it there's a line that's been drawn in the sand that can't easily be moved. If you fire the man, the athletes will forever more run the show. If you don't, a poor performing team on the field simply won't perform (at all), so who cares. But it's pretty clear that the athletes are taking advantage of a terrible/lost season to see if they can manipulate their management. ANYBODY who thinks they'd do this if they had an .800 winning average is a complete and total ****ing idiot. So MIZZOU should handle it professionally, pay a fine if must for not fielding a team, play other kids if they can, but I'd recommend they let the one kid decide when he's hungry enough to eat, and these others can start paying for their education somewhere else. That being typed, knowing MIZZOU, they'll cave to the kids.. I wonder if there are any provisions in the NCAA rule book for kids like Drew Lock to get the hell out of Columbia and make the move to one of the many other schools who offered him a ride without sitting-out for a long time? Minimally he, and others, should find out because MIZZOU seems like it could be the pit of athletic doom for many years to come. Last edited by GloryDayz; 11-08-2015 at 10:22 AM.. |

Who the **** are these people putting hate symbols on campus? What's the logic? "Yeah bruh, I'm going to take a shit and make a swastika out of it. That will like totally show them."

This is a question I ask myself a lot. I think the student population has shifted a lot since I graduated in 05. The biggest downside to the SEC move was associating with - as a University - the Bible Belt states, which lead the nation in obesity, stupidity, and racism. There are many, many more students at Mizzou now from Texas/Georgia/Alabama/Mississippi than there were 10 years ago. Pair that with Missouri becoming more of a red state, and K think you've seen a little bit of a geographical shift in the student population... The more "southern" you are, the more racism is going to be an issue. My sister is 8 years younger than I am. She also graduated from Mizzou. Spending time around her and her friends was pretty eye-opening. Much more open racism amongst them than kids I knew when I was in school (and we ran in very similar circles, right down to the sorority my sister was in, which is the same one my wife was in during our college days).

I think it has a lot more to do with the ridiculous reaction to Ferguson than with a supposed increase of racism at the university.
