Well done.

…made me smile on a gloomy gray day.

The signs look suspiciously more crisp than the surrounding landscape…

I would accept him signing w/MU as a pretty damn good gift

I think MU fans are showing we would give him a big warm welcome and be classy while he is here. Not over doing it but showing we want him to stay in good ole MO. Hope he chooses us.

Just wondering if optism has overtaken the masses more than the more standard Mizzou skepticism.

Kimmeh couldnt even park at the football complex because of security.

Bill C. alluded to this in his write-ups and perhaps some of his comments. There will be many Mizzou fans who would be more than disappointed if DGB elects to take his talents elsewhere. In fact, I think many casual Mizzou fans would see it as an unacceptable failure and lay blame on HCGP and his staff.
If he chooses Mizzou, then Mizzou pride will be over-flowing. Expectations for DGB and Mizzou in the next few years would rise above what should be reasonable for what one non-QB player can probably affect.
I guess what I’m stating is that many Mizzou fans are probably going to be disappointed over DGB either next week or sometime in the next couple of years. But it’s very likely that they will be disappointed either way.
The lack of credence given nationally to Mizzou’s chances in the DGB sweepstakes isn’t really that surprising. Mizzou has elevated its football program by leaps and bounds over the last decade or so. Let’s face it, though, the program is not to a level where national folks would expect highly rated recruits to give serious consideration to Mizzou over the traditional top programs. Now, I’m not sure I would put Arkansas above Mizzou in terms of national recognition, but they have been doing better than average in the SEC for a couple of years. If Mizzou lands him they’ll say DGB decided to stay home. If he goes elsewhere I don’t think the national perception of Mizzou will be changed at all. The only way to change national perception is to win the SEC a few times and win a national championship. And, we’ll have to win conference titles with some regularity and continue to occasionally be in the mix for a national championship for decades to really be considered an elite program. Would love to see it happen, of course. Would also be thrilled with gradual improvement for years to come. Really don’t want to slip back to a mess like we suffered through in the ‘80s and ‘90s.
I’m so intrigued by the indirect effects of DGB’s recruitment. I want it to continue forever.
