Amazing that McCollum can take this group,(none of whom would have been looked at by Mizzou as anything other than walk on type players), and turn them into conference season and tourney champs as well as a team now charging into Saturday's 2nd round.

How in hell can an athletic department be so dysfunctional that they pass on national champ Vitello in baseball and then,(while watching him have unprecedented success at an in state university), have shown no interest whatsoever in Ben McCollum?

Sports success means absolutely nothing to the people running this school is the only answer for the utter nonsense we see happening again and again in Columbia.
