Of course. And Dale Earnhardt pictures. Not Junior. The real one. Actually most of Missouri is like that. Atlanta isn't "southern" now. I'm not sure you can claim that Nashville is. In truth though, the labels invented for college conferences don't mean much now. Definitely not what they...

Not sure how long it is... but I recently crossed it at Dyersburg on my way to Mississippi. Anyone who truly doubts the "southern" bona fides of Missouri needs to visit Lambert's Cafe in Sikeston. We stopped there on our way back... and had hog jowls, catfish, fried okra, corn bread, turnip...

Define "southeast". Geographically, most of TX, MO, and OK are in the southeast portion of the US. Culturally, they are more similar to the southeast than other areas of the country. All were primarily settled by people who migrated from the southeast in search of land claims. Historically...

There is some truly profound ignorance of history and even geography on this site. Most of Missouri is south of Lexington. Columbia and Lexington are pretty much at the same latitude. Both are culturally a blend of south and Midwest. And you know that MO has a fairly long border with TN...

Better. Experience can help but has a lower limit for the secondary than other positions. A "somewhat" experienced but more athletic player will likely perform better than an experienced but less talented guy. UT lost 5 DBs. Only Turnage went to a program likely to compete in the top half of...

The interesting thing to me is just the totals. I think all had more going out than coming in when you don't include first time signees. IMO, that means that A LOT more players are culled through the portal than leave of their own accord. I can imagine a scenario when a lot of players are...

It isn't entirely Barnes. If JJJ or Vescovi were shooting like they were in the past then that would have given them that other option. Wasn't Purdue's best shooter cold vs UT? But they had some other guys who got it done. UT didn't have those guys with consistency. Other teams knew it and...

Poll definitely reflects my top two but Heupel had it worse partly due to the level of competition.

While that's true, it is the bad days that kept them from winning the SEC and NCAA tournaments. Just my opinion but I think Barnes emphasizes defense so much to the exclusion of other facets of the game that it produces the outcome we see. They will win a high % but will lose when their few...

If I had a "favorite" Big10 school, it would be Purdue. But I was kind of hoping UConn would win simply because I've grown to dislike Edey... a lot. He hacks as much as anyone and at times just runs over guys without being called. But my biggest peeve with him was that he absolutely camped...

On good days, UT was as good as anyone. On bad days... they weren't even a top 3 team in the SEC. They needed two more reliable scorers and at least one more guy who could shoot 3's to spread the D.

Really confusing decision but he has his reasons. Wish him the best.

Without looking... I can think of several different candidates for that role. Could be Matthews but apparently Staley shows signs too. I don't think we've seen the best out of Thornton. I could easily see Webb, Nimrod, or one of the other talented guys suddenly exploding onto the scene like...

He said deeper than "we" thought they were going to be. Just like most teams, that probably means UT is vulnerable if they catch the injury bug but if their first two at each position stay healthy then they're good.

No "hate" involved. Only a child or a mentally stunted person thinks that objective criticism is "hate". Most children grow out of it... most.
