level. Worst thing that could’ve happened is 2007, ‘13 & ‘14. Since that hasn’t caused our fans to step up & contribute in a similar fashion to even the mid levels of P5 schools, we’re likely never jumping up to be a regular player nationally. Sure, things may fall into place every once in a great while but we’ll normally be bottom of the SEC because that’s what we as a fanbase have decided to pay for. It’s easy to do nothing all year long & expect things to change just because you turn on the television every September but be prepared to keep being disappointed.

“Mizzou shouldn’t be a guy’s first head-coaching job!” (but it’s okay for OU somehow...for the second straight time)...you don’t think so? Nobody’s stopping you from contributing to the TSF...even if it’s only $50/year to get you started.

Keep those expectations high while doing nothing but complaining...that’s sure to work out well for us.

None would have hired him to begin with, there is that...(nm) - tigersfan MU - 9/25 06:11:13

Is this Gabe dude a beaker? (nm) - Evenflow MU - 9/24 21:26:10

I don't see the point in keeping him. - MKrip MU - 9/24 21:15:25

if it's that clear, why hasn't Sterk fired him?(nm) - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/24 21:24:53

Each embarrassing loss powers his decision, just like KA - MoGold MU - 9/24 22:02:45

I'm sure he has his reasons and they likely have nothing to - MKrip MU - 9/24 21:47:58

I'm sure you'll find a way to convince yourself - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/24 21:50:13

I never said Sterk would fire him after this year. - MKrip MU - 9/24 22:08:38

It's a safe prediction, but he's probably wrong (nm) - Yosa125 TAMU - 9/24 21:13:56

He says stupid crap to get eyeballs on his site - Roberts MU - 9/25 09:13:54

They must have more top 5 finishes during the past decade. - Gary P. MU - 9/24 21:50:34

the recency bias among these stupid ****s is remarkable - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/24 21:52:36

Sterk claimed he never said that. Said that 6 wins... - Deputy Dawg MU - 9/24 21:21:29

he will only look like a fool - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/24 21:13:17

Odom isn't going to win 3 or 4 games. - AndyTiger MU

Progress would be 5 wins, with the 7 losses being - JoplinTiger07 MU - 9/24 21:13:44

How much you contributing, JT? Anything or simply pecking - Gary P. MU - 9/24 21:25:05

Our AD budget is in the top 30 nationally, so why is neither - JoplinTiger07 MU - 9/24 21:41:57

Football budget is bottom 4 in SEC - ScottsdaleTiger MU - 9/24 23:04:02

Oh my...Exhibit A: - Gary P. MU - 9/24 21:51:37

well, historically I would say we're right around #30 for - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/24 21:46:33

Are you seeing a rulebook nobody else is? You keep - Gary P. MU - 9/24 22:55:09

well, that's not up to you to decide, son(nm) - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/24 21:18:12

Fortunately, Sterk has already told us what he expects. NM - JoplinTiger07 MU - 9/24 21:19:27

you're about as informed as usual, I see - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/24 21:20:17

Judging by his response in that thread, you’re wasting - Gary P. MU - 9/24 21:27:07

What did you expect Sterk to say at that point? "Yes, Gabe, - JoplinTiger07 MU - 9/24 21:25:34

Apathy. I've said it before. Apathy is the biggest - jonesin - 9/24 21:04:28

you are one of the most apathetic posters on this board(nm) - recruiter MU

- 9/24 21:29:03

Not at all. I Have empathy to support this university again. - jonesin - 9/24 21:39:09

Yep, we have the lowest expectations of any school in the... - Deputy Dawg MU - 9/24 21:09:23

Unless & until fans step up, we’ll continue at the current - Gary P. MU - 9/24 21:21:56

Our AD budget is in the top half of P5 schools... - JoplinTiger07 MU - 9/24 21:37:28

You avoided my question earlier...do you give to TSF? - Gary P. MU - 9/24 23:21:04

Yes. To the nearest tenth of a percent, how much do you - JoplinTiger07 MU - 9/25 03:36:22

RE: Our AD budget is in the top half of P5 schools... - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/24 21:49:41

But its not the kids, its the people with the $$$ to - jonesin - 9/24 21:12:46

why should Mizzou be an elite football program? - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/24 21:12:14

Better question: Why shouldn't we be? Maybe "elite" was... - Deputy Dawg MU - 9/24 21:26:54

did I not just give two reasons that are pretty valid? - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/24 21:30:33

You build it, take a legit stab with a legit HC, and the $$$ - jonesin - 9/24 21:15:42

how much are you donating to the TSF? - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/24 21:18:57

Even if he donated $50,000 per year, what difference would - JoplinTiger07 MU - 9/24 21:45:39

RE: Even if he donated $50,000 per year, what difference would - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/24 21:48:10

Why are we underachieving in football? NM - JoplinTiger07 MU - 9/24 22:50:29

Why would anyone support this university in its current - jonesin - 9/24 21:29:22

we had apathy during 12-2 seasons(nm) - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/24 21:07:35

Not from many fans you didn't. nm - jonesin - 9/24 21:16:34

sure, fans were excited - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/24 21:19:18

Wrong. I bet if you were to go back after those seasons... - Deputy Dawg MU - 9/24 21:32:12

where were they up compared to the teams we're competing - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/24 21:33:25

We won a couple SEC East Division titles after that 12-2... - Deputy Dawg MU - 9/24 21:41:34

They recruited. Tough to compete when those recruits are - Gary P. MU - 9/24 23:08:09

so we're paying the price for Pinkel & staff not recruiting - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/24 21:42:40

& worse, vs. SEC schools. Every year that goes by, we fall - Gary P. MU - 9/24 21:38:02

Then why the fvck don't we just join the MAC and - jonesin - 9/24 21:36:40

of course I was excited, but I heeded Gary Pinkel's words - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/24 21:41:26

I was pumped but people here were saying they were going to - Gary P. MU - 9/24 21:39:13

Then, by very definition, you are agreeing that "apathy" - jonesin - 9/24 21:49:19

Maybe it is not Sterk's decision(nm) - Rocket Man UT - 9/24 21:03:57

BOC has to make the call as buyout would be about $1.2 - TigerMatt STL - 9/24 22:23:21

100 million tends to get you a say in the decision, id bet. - josey-wales MU - 9/24 21:30:38

Thats what I believe too. nm - jonesin - 9/24 21:05:14
