in those locations.. even when the teams weren't doing well, fans showed up FAR more than they really ever have at Mizzou, probably going back 10 yrs or more. Recruits absolutely notice that stuff, and I'm positive that's one of the challenges HCM is having to deal with that he hasn't really had to deal with before (from a 'big' program).
I truly believe that's one of the reasons he will ultimately fail @ Mizzou, no matter how hard he tries. People don't support sports in CoMo, at least not enough to make a difference. Why would any young kid want to play in front of that embarrassment of a crowd, when they don't have to?
