'67 - '76 - Stormin' Norman days ending with Kim, Willie and the tourney run

'77 - '84 - More Stormin' and we were a national name and got Ted Owens fired and made kpuke fans hate him, a great thing...

'85 - '93 Roller coaster ride with Norm not hitting the recruiting trail (see Daly,Rich), probation (see daly, Rich), and some lousy teams..His biggest failure was not grasping the importance of the tourney and the nation wide recruiting it took to stay competitive.

'94 - '99 - Lazy Norm, struck an acorn in '94 sucked asss the remainder of the time. It was the University of Norm not Missouri....sad ending but he got lazy like most rich CEOs of his generation...
