It's really funny when you guys try and pretend you're a football school. Mizzou is Minnesota: neither football nor basketball school. |

Older alums remember a Mizzou that won some football games and care a lot about it while younger ones know a football program capable of holding it's own. Both sports are very important at Mizzou IMO. |

That's my advice to you. Arky tried to become a football school again, like Mizzou did, and they're back to the bottom again. Short term football competitiveness is just fool's gold for 75% of programs. |

Inasmuch as the fanbase cares MUCH more about football than basketball, yes.

That said I'm not oblivious to what MU is up against swimming with the sharks. Hopefully they continue to try to do both. To your point though I do see MU as a school that is capable of making a final four and winning a championship in hoops whether it ever happens or not. I do not see it as a school capable of winning the SEC in football at this time. But I want them to try like heck anyway. |

Alright, that's what I was wondering. You base it off of fan preference rather than sports results. To me, MU would be more of a 50/50 school based on sports results - some success in both football & basketball. That's obviously an outsiders opinion.

Now, of course everyone wants to win football games. I want KU to win them too. I just realize the difficulty of competing with the South which for the Big 12, is 60% of the league residing in Oklahoma and Texas. West Virginia found out the hard way that football wins are rare in places where they care about it. At any rate, with St Louis and KC both having NFL teams I think Mizzou is in a really tough spot generating the fan interest & the income to run with the big dogs down there. Where those teams have little to no competition. I'd say Arky & South Carolina are better long term bets since they have no NFL team close by. Missouri does lack an NBA team in either city. Since one could look at KU and see why that matters so much, I'd think Mizzou would eventually realize it too. |

I don't really disagree w/ that but MU isn't a football school in the sense that every school outside of Kentucky is in the SEC. Those fan bases are very lukewarm in regards to college hoops compared to the Tigers. I have never met a MU fan that isn't very interested in hoops success. I have met plenty of Alabama and/or LSU fans for example that don't know a thing about their own hoops programs.

Teams in the SEC get better players and better coaches because the SEC is the only conference that matters in college football. That's why SEC fans pimp their own conference. SEC success helps all of the teams (and hurts the rest of the conferences). Just look at Big 12 recruiting. The best class in the Big 12 for next year is Oklahoma...at 13-15 depending on the site doing the rankings. That would be 8th best in the SEC. Ole Miss just locked up the #2 recruiting class in the country. Meanwhile, KSU came in at #56 despite being the class of the Big 12. The worst class in the SEC came in at #39...and they're the defending national champions in basketball... Must suck to be them, right Wickedson?
