No non-die hard mizzou fball fan would ever read this whole thing, but I found this Q&A hilarious: http://www.columbiatribune.com/blogs/behin...0c1eb6c2d5.html Q&A with a beat writer on Spring Football, where there has been 0 new info, devolves into basically questions on who is showing best teamwork in stretch drills and who would win cage matches.

But, as a strike against they "you shouldn't care about anything unless you are trying to solve everything", this did accomplish one state.Also, I lol'd <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8">

How far we've come: Matt Lindstrom was our closer last April/May

I love this addition. Best addition of the offseason, in my opinion.

This board was very optimistic in 05, people were really tired of the "underachieving" sox teams with the mashers of lee/ordonez/thomas, even though their main problem was pitching. I don't think anyone thought WS, but that was not something I thought was possible before 05.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Apr 2, 2015 -> 10:10 AM) I think the Bears have signed more free agents this year than the Packers have in the past 10 years. Yeah, but keep in mind bears had lowest amount of players on contract when FA began, and there was the whole system change thing. Funny after the first week, bears fans on wcg were asking whether pace was going to do anything.

cool, somebody noticed something they don't like.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Apr 2, 2015 -> 07:55 PM) Yes. Clinton did a lot to set the table for the results that Kerry is reaping right now. It isn't that John Kerry is suddenly changing everything in State. He's just there at the right time - and doing a pretty admirable effort at that. Sorry, but it is a hell of a lot harder to close major deals like this than "set the table". His job of setting the table for a deal in Israel Palestine in 2013 with one party explicitly not interested in a deal was more impressive than getting China/Russia on board. Iran 2013 looked as close as ever, now we look like we bought ten years for change. That's a lot of time.

Kerry, regardless of whether you with his policy implementations, has been prolific as SOS. Again, lends me pause on Clinton.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Apr 2, 2015 -> 11:07 AM) For sure. The good thing from our perspective is that they've all been 1 year deals (except McPhee). These are just stop-gap players until they can begin to plug in their own talent through the draft (or at least I hope that's the plan). McPhee, Rolle, Royal are all 3 year deals.

Of all of what you mentioned, Robertson/Duke being horrible is what scares me most. It would be just so obvious and terrifying for long term.

QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 2, 2015 -> 10:22 AM) Is De La Puente still under contract? He seemed like he could be a solid C in the league. Nope, and there seems to have been low interest from bears.

So last night's game sucked. Really bad game from Thibs. If you had never watched an NBA game and asked "who doesn't belong", you would have said Aaron Brooks. He was forced into more minutes iwht kirk out (whom we looked better with at point). But I'd preferred MOore get more burn because he just doesn't turn it over like Brooks. That said, we should have lost, and easily could have won. HOrrendous FT % and 3pt %. Just an outlier game.

Slowest game ever.

Please take out Brooks.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Mar 31, 2015 -> 10:14 PM) Ames? I'm not really following the "where's he going" side, more the "Kim Anderson killed Missouri Basketball" side. Man, all the s*** Mike Anderson got and he's the only one who gave them a program.

I can't handle this day, I trust people too much.

Will Jordan Danks make the Phills?

QUOTE (shysocks @ Mar 31, 2015 -> 04:04 PM) Soto easily guns down Rollins trying to take third. Today we aren't seeing the poor throwing arm folks have been talking about. I swear it's mental. I think he makes that weird motion only up the middle.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Mar 31, 2015 -> 03:28 PM) Omg season please just start.

Wow, I thought you couldn't sit together in this package. Just saw if you buy passes at once you get both.

QUOTE (BrianAnderson @ Mar 31, 2015 -> 12:25 PM) It seems like one of those too good to be true deals, however I believe its for a few reasons. a- inflate actual attendance numbers b- sell more parking and concessions c- why not do anything to get people out to the park in April and May when its cold/school is still going? If the product is good, they are more likely to return in the summer months. I'd be curious to see how many fans buy this package. 500? 1,000? They also introduced a "flash" sale that on each Monday at 5pm CST they will release 200 tickets for $10 throughout the lower bowl. They said some tickets may even be in the Gold Box section. I think they are doing their best to generate interest and clicks back to the ticketing sections each day/week with these promotions. I like it. Now we just need to win baby win. i think many for years have been saying "why not just sell upper deck for $2 in April/Sept" with the attendance so low. However, I do think that's a hard decision for the club, who wouldn't want to undercut the loyal season tix holders who bought for more. That said, they did this and it's awesome. I hope it works.

QUOTE (MU Mike @ Mar 31, 2015 -> 09:05 AM) No, he was told yesterday he was being reassigned to AAA. And I still check in from time to time! Ah, dang. Hopefully he can get some more burn on the big league club this year.

JW3 transferring from Missouri. These are some dark days for the program.
