This isn't even well written.

I'm sure the post covers Mizzou because there are no Mizzou alumni in St. Louis.

Yes, we tend to do well.

Let me help you. St. Louis is a Mizzou town.

What's the early outlook for $LU next year Roy?

I feel the Porters are an incredible family. I feel that they are huge assets to Mizzou, Missouri and their community that should be celebrated. I feel that Jontay had an amazing season and is likely going to the NBA although I wish he came back. I feel MPJ had a very unfortunate injury situation but was a great representative of Mizzou. I have the utmost respect for him playing coming off the surgery with little practice. I'm not sure if I was advising him I would have wanted him to do that. Both are great Tigers. I wish the Porter family nothing but the best. Great people. Mizzou has been enriched by their contributions. It actually is a comment on your character disparaging them like this.

By whom?

Nice, even better. Trash the kid, double down on the family ($$$$). Do you think recruits or their families read this stuff?

Says the guy who changes subjects.

Double down. Well done.

You have your own insular ways here, I've learned that.

Trash kids not interested in SLU. Classy as always.

This is actually a subject I've been interested in for a while that is affecting and will affect all major revenue generating sports, pro and college. I've read about it initially focusing on politics. The white population is aging. I can't help but notice most of the fans in the seats at Mizzou football and basketball games, and judging from the snippets I see on TV, SLU basketball games, are aging white folks. This article is about the NFL, but I believe it applies to college revenue sports like college football and b-ball https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamhartung/2017/09/29/the-nfl-has-a-bigger-problem-than-kneeling-employees-demographics-and-trends/#6875d15a4efc...he doesn't go to deep into the weeds about those changing demographics, other than an aging population who attends games. It's also an overwhelmingly white population that trends at least somewhat conservative. Folks, a lot of these stadiums are going to be empty in 10 years. And these big TV contracts, forget about it. Peak sports.

The post dispatch historically, and certainly now, are bandwagon jumpers. You guys were the good story a couple of years ago. They treated Illinois like the local team when it was winning under Weber (with Self's players). They were all over SIUC when Weber and then Lowery were winning. Southwest Missouri State was the hot program with Spoon before you guys, then he was the with you guys. Those "Mizzery" grads like Gordo (tool) and Vahe Gregorian went down and tried to sink the program with their investigatige journalism. It's interesting to me the KC star has never taken a critical look at Bill Self's program. SLU has never had that treatment as far as I am aware.

Last post, I promise, and I'm out of here: "There's no place like home first and foremost," Watson said Friday, an hour after leaving Columbia where he visited with Cuonzo Martin and MU's staff. St. Louis is a Mizzou town. Mizzou is home.

Keep trashing Martin like this. Both schools are now focusing on St. Louis area recruits. This will only help Mizzou. Cheers!

All part of the subterfuge.

I don't know. I do know the only reason Roy has a problem with it is where they both ended up. If it was KU and Bill Self or anywhere else he would not have any problem with it. Dare I say if it was SLU he would be quite pleased.

They shouldn't fire coaches if they want recruits to stick around. Not many do.

Washington and Illinois fired the head coaches that recruited them. Martin didn't steal either one.

It will be okay though if it's Ford and SLU, right?

I love that you guys can't stop talking about Mizzou. See you soon.

Omaha is a nice mid-sized city and he's got a good gig. They are second only to Nebraska football in the state and he's the show in Omaha. I wouldn't be at all surprised if his wife played a big part in the decision.

You hired a choir boy in Travis Ford.

From what I gather, he went to Illinois because he's tight with Tilmon. And a good player. Billiken Roy confirmed that he's a good D1 player.
