Was I disappointed? Sure. Can I tick off a list of reasons for the loss? Yes. The real question is how the team responds. With a very young team I expected some off nights and maybe there were some here. I also think Missouri is a pretty decent team. My optimism as to what this team can be has not wavered.
Eventually actions have consequences – especially when by sacrificing one to the god of NCAA keeps the program moving forward. If it was one incident I would feel bad for the kid but it was not. Agreed the NCAA has some silly rules but PJ’s actions far and away transcended those.
I’m not so sure I would say the program returned a lot of talent from the previous year. The mad scramble to fill the QB position points directly to that. There was some talent there but little beyond the first player at every position.
I agree last season was disappointing (who could argue with this). The real question yet to be answered is can coach D and his staff turn the ship back to a positive direction. We might see some signs next season but if we do not that seat will heat quite a bit.For JV the difference this year is he is actually moving. Not the shuck an jive but actually moving both on offense and defense. That bodes well with the new emphasis the stripes have called so far. In conference we shall see.
Maybe coach D gets it or maybe not. I think he does. At the least we do know he was left with a mostly bare cupboard and thus the hunt for a QB for the past year. If there is noticeable improvement next season I’m good. If not that seat will get incredibly hot because of “passionate fans”.
After the original incident I also emailed Yow. Very quick response. I did not contact her this time as I was sure she has been apprised of our concerns. I agree with the behind the scenes approach on this one.
So refreshing after Foulup.

As to how it is working so far – no Hess at the tourney and possibly no more Hess period, apparently more evenhanded officiating in games where State plays BB to this point (yes even yesterday with the “protest”). Agreed it might be time to let the fools continue to embarrass themselves with such garbage as this so I’m not for making a big public spectacle – the refs are doing a pretty darn good job there. Some behind the scenes protests by DY make sense as even if not intended to be so this raises the specter of intentional bias on part of the working officials.
I happened to surf over the the Big East game Hess was working during some commercials and saw at least two examples of his self importance.
All I can say (in my best southernese) is “Bless their hearts”.
