They're not that dumb. Pinkel has a winning record, the best record of any Mizzou coach. This racial pandering will go only so far.

He’s 4-5 this year. What have you done for me lately?

Do you really think the football team would have threatened to boycott a game if they were any good this year?

There’s only a few more weeks in the semester. They should think about transferring to another school.

"Lately" was an 11-3 record and a Citrus Bowl win. He isn't in any danger.

Yes. Because they knew the university would cave.

That is the whole point and the protesters and student union said as much. They need someone of “Color” not an old white guy. I believe they want to get rid of all white people.

BYU is a touchdown favorite. Plus it's at Arrowhead so Mizzou can lose in front of almost 76,000 people instead of just 70,000.

Oh, and talk about timing. At the game on Saturday Mizzou is debuting new uniforms. They’re all white.

People in MO do the oddest things. Somebody should “Show Them” how to correct their errors.

Thy do and they have the self hating Whites digging their own graves. A win, win situation. This is one more nail in the casket of the Middle America. Once Middle America has been killed by the parasites, and the parasites have died off, the New America can be built in the image of the Old America. By the surviving Patriots.
