Thank you Gary Pinkel

I would like to thank Gary Pinkel for giving Missouri fans something to get excited for, for the next three or four years. He moved a mediocre middle of the pack big 12 north team into a national title contender. Although the basketball coach Mike Anderson hasn't quite brought the same to the hardwood. Missouri which is known as a basketball school not a football one has flip flopped the last few seasons. For every step the football team has taken into becoming an elite school the basketball team has taken one back. Not only has the basketball team not been getting results but we just had to kick of the best player on our team and suspend all of the other starters because they have been getting arrested every other weekend. Missouri will miss out on the NCAA tournament for the 5th straight year (unless a miracle goes down at the sprint center and we get an automatic birth) which will be Missouri's longest drought of an NCAA birth. We have not had a decent team since the early Quinn Synder day's and the only reason we had success then was we still had Norm Stewart's recruits such as Kareem Rush and Clearance Gilbert. Until Missouri will hire a Great Head coach who can coach a type of basketball that can be successful in the Big 12, not the 40 minutes of hell which obviously cannot work in a conference as powerful as the Big 12 is, missouri will keep missing out on the NCAA tournament and we will keep counting down the days until football season starts instead of the other way around where we used to count down the days until basketball season began.
