The losers in life always complain and are never satisfied with anything.
BLM is full of life’s losers from the top down.
Sec too tough? They won their section twice already
Reminds me of story Bill Walton told about John Wooden during the Nixon days. Walton goes to Wooden saying the team is going to boycott the next game to protest Nixon’s crimes in Watergate. Wooden says “It has been nice having you on the team, Bill” They wrote a letter instead.
college football players generate a ton of revenue for a NCAA Division I school
That is a total of 128 schools. Top 30 teams heading to the bowls are not going to strike. Only about 50 or so actually make money, most are money losers.
Pinkel is a dead man walking - mainly for the reason that he is a white male-but since the team is faring so poorly, it makes him expendable. He is attempting to navigate a minefield and you can only get away with that for so long. The football team will demand a black coach and they will get one.
If I were Pinkel, I'd be brushing up my resume, although with the performance of the team as of late, he doesn't have a lot to commend him.
I remember another story from those days where Walton refused to get a haircut. When Coach Wooden questioned him about it, Walton said it was his right to grow his hair as long as he wanted. Wooden agreed, and said, 'but it's my right to choose who plays on the team, and it's been nice having you, Bill."
Walton went on to say that he ran out of practice, still in his warmups, to the nearest barbershop.
Yep. Character suggests that he should have said ‘either you juvenile footballers play or you are off the team.....scholarship is gone.....nice knowing you’.
John Wooden was a MAN. There are far too few of those schooling our youth these days.
“Sadly you are mistaken as the federals require affirmative action hires regardless of qualifications; been there, seen that!”
Actually, your comment fits nicely into my narritive. I think you’ll find that many, perhaps most, of these what I refer to as Soft Science majors will fit right in with federal AA requirements. That where most of them are going now.
I listened to this interview live. Pinkel has yet to figure out how much he has screwed up. He thought by sending out a tweet without informing his boss and the university administrators he would unite the team. It turns out that a number of players, including some of the black players, did not agree with this stunt. Pinkel has lost control of this team and he will never get it back. He has also lost many alums and some of them have very deep pockets. I think that he will be gone before the end of the season.
That's the bottom line. Follow the money. Mizzou is in for a long dry spell, football and otherwise.

Not true...Pinkel has quite a good resume at both Toledo and Missouri, having elevated both program’s profile...he’s 63, and probably thinking this might be a good time to wrap it up...
