Even the possibility of a bright period makes Mizzou fans reflexively rail against it. Poor ol' Gabe doesn't know what to do with himself when a team that loses its best player sets about mauling a Power 5 school and then waxes the kind of weak opponent that the old regime beats by 4 or even loses to.

So what's he do? Gets together with Pete Scantlebury and they generate a controversy in the post-game presser.

Look - the kid may be injured. Shit happens; there's nothing that Cuonzo or Gabe or Sterk or even Jesus himself - the righteous one, Bill Self - can do about it.

The fanbase's refusal to enjoy ANYTHING has gone from macabre to hilarious at this point. Chris alive - the team is relevant again even without MPJ. If the dude never plays a minute this team will still go out there and give all but maybe the top 2 teams in the SEC a real fight. They'll go out and play their asses off, win quite a few games and generally be good kids to root for (seriously, how can anyone not love Kevin Puryear right now?).

Settle down, Mizzoufan; things will be what they are.

I'm pretty sure this team needs Michael Porter Jr.
