understanding the dynamics of why Mizzou tended to under achieve. Quote from CAL MU "We got into the best conference somehow, it's really a modern miracle, and we should be grateful. Mizzou was treated terribly by our former conference mates as well."
"We have already done better on the field than a few SEC teams, and we continue to morph into an SEC team. We don't fit because our passion doesn't measure up, we whine and complain about everything off the field, we don't go to games, and we show no loyalty to the team or the coach. The worst thing is we loathe ourselves, revealing little spine. It's no wonder our history is splotched with underachieving, our history is a reflection of who we are. Most fanbases are wildly optimistic and view themselves as higher than the are, Mizzou is the only fanbase that collectively views themselves as not worthy. From start to finish half our base is either critical or predicting failure no matter how good our team is."
The second statement from my vantage point as an LSU fan is the part I don't understand.
Mizzou has everything needed if it ever puts it all together to again be one of the elite programs in the nation. It did with Dan Devine in the 60's. Devine turned Mizzou into a program that finished with a Top 20 ranking nine times. His record of 93–37–7 included four bowl game victories. He won 70% of his games.
