All three of those Tigers would be nice fits. Schrader as a 3rd down/change of pace back wouldn't even be a bad 3rd day pick or UDFA. And I think KAD is a better prospect than Williams. [Reply]
You never know. Reid does have a connection with Mizzou. He did draft Morse and Bolton in the second round. I would certainly like to one of them end up here. It would also be great to the Beakers dismay. I remember how much they hated the Bolton pick at the time. If course they've changed their tune now, but they were pretty vocal about not liking him at first. I'm sure that it would be the same with one of these guys [Reply]

Well now I'm awfully curious about a North End Zone project.
Because the north end zone has always kinda been considered off limits by the old-heads that didn't want the grass and rocks taken out of there. Personally I've always hated it and think it looks like amateur hour, but my kids like going over there and screwing off during games so there's some novelty to it.
But if we want the stadium to look like a 'big boy stadium' - that's the last place to do it. And it really does need a bit of attention. [Reply]

Mizzou's just never going to be Alabama.
And it's something a buddy of mine pointed out to me when I was in High School after he'd moved here from Texas. He said "man, nobody that lives here is proud to live here...they just act to cool for everything..."
Mizzou fans are kinda like that, unfortunately. Living in Columbia and I can pretty confidently say that, as was the case when I lived in KC, the people that live there tend to roll their eyes a bit when they say they live there. There's just not a ton of pride about it.
So Mizzou fans are going to turn out when the product is good but thats about it. And they're likely not going to fill up an 80K feet stadium at any point. They're just 'too cool' for it.
I dunno if I did a very good job of explaining it, but it seems that there's an underlying cynicism to being a Missourian and it sorta extends to Mizzou athletics. I suspect it probably exists for a lot of states, but in those areas where football is a religion, that's really not the case. [Reply]

I don't know when you moved but now it's cool to live in KC (if you are a gay left winger) [Reply]

It blows my mind, but I haven't lived in KC for over 20 years now. I've actually lived in Columbia longer than I lived in KC, especially if I don't count the 4 years in college where my permanent address was technically KC but I spent maybe 2 months/yr there.
But alas, the gay left winger cool kids table will probably not let me sit with them. [Reply]
No idea why they don’t just put something on stilts over the rocks on the north end. Make it something fancy and unique that no other stadium has. Keep the old fucks happy, keep the area for kids to play on, add a ton of seats.

Javon Foster killed it too, actually. He was Charles Davis's pick for most impressive player on the first day of practice, and he looked good all week.
Mizzou players all looked good. Robinson made himself a ton of cash this week, you could make a case for him being overall MVP if you watched the practices. Announcers were drooling over him, Daniel Jeremiah in particular. If he's on the board when we pick, I'd have no problem with Veach grabbing him. [Reply]
