regard. Folks on this board point out frequently that traveling from St. Louis or KC just isn't as realistic as it once was, that it's easier just to watch games on a big screen at home, etc. Yet we now seem to expect/hope that businesses and individuals most likely from those areas are suddenly going to pour money into MU football and hoops. Again, maybe they will. But we're also reminded here often that Missourah is the SHOW ME State. Thousands to an unproven 18-yr-old??? I am aware there have been some very big donations over the past 2-3 years.
