I liked him well enough when I was at Truman, but I've developed an incredible respect for him since I've come to Columbia. He's really a remarkable guy. As soon as it became apparent that Pinkel was on board, I was full-steam ahead on this thing. If he's up for the challenge and if he thinks ending his coaching career in the SEC is worth doing, then I believe him.

If you really think that a good talented kid in the deep south, with a lot more options in the SEC than a Texas kid has in the Big 12, will choose to go to Columbia over all the deep south SEC schools, then I don't know what to tell you.

I agree that West Virginia presently has a better football team.
I don't think they have a better program. Let's not forget that MU just had 2 players go top 10 in the NFL draft and lost on the road in overtime against a very strong Arizona team (a game they should have won) and stuck to within 10 against a pissed of OU team in Norman. MU's future is very very bright, SEC or otherwise.

Fun tip: Columbia is almost 200 miles closer to Atlanta than it is to Houston. |

re-read my post. deep south kids have a ton of options. Big 12 kids do not, unless they think they can be the man who rebuilds Baylor or Okie State.

Sorry if this has been said, but IMO the best thing for MU would be to force the Big 12 back into 2 divisions where they would spearhead the north. With Nebraska gone they would be favored most years to win it and eventually they are gonig to beat a south team a year here or a year there and get their BCS Bowl game I really just have a hard time seeing a path to a BCS Bowl game for them in the SEC.

Nope - losses.
But they're points worth making when discussing the overall strength of a football program. We're not going out there and having teams like Georgia Tech set records against us. Mizzou, even when it loses, isn't getting embarrassed. It's all about the evolution of the program. Teams go from getting their asses kicked by everyone (KU), to beating bad teams but getting stomped by elite teams (the Daniel era Tigers) to beating the bad teams and hanging with the elite teams (hopefully where we are now) to simply winning against anyone (OU, Alabama, Florida). It's fair to point out that the MU program has progressed a great deal over the last decade to the point where we can absolutely claim to be as good or better than WVU and all but about 20 programs in the nation. But that's okay - enjoy the smack talk while you can. Grandpa Bill ain't gonna live forever and you fellas will go back to the kids table soon enough.
