I think Florida was afraid that the basketball would explode if it didn't go through the rim. They basically saved the entire state of Florida today, which isn't necessarily a good thing.

That game didnt take long did it? Kinda went just how I thought it would.

MU is a VERY slow starting team...do that against a good team on the road and you're going to get ran out of the gym.

Too bad Mizzou left for a lateral. The new job has football quality which was less in Sagarin up till the Cotton Bowl at the end, and hoops is well behind.



To make matters worse, Mizzou also took a pay cut. Forbes reported this week the Big 12 payout was 26M while the SEC was only 19M. But for Mizzou you had to pay your old employer back 13M. So you walked away with a piddly 6M this year.



The final insult? You thought your new co-workers would like you. You heard so much about "harmony" and "cohesion" and "sharing." What a surprise it must've been when Alabama players were profanely mocking having to play in Columbia as they huddled pre-game. And Ole MIss calling you "Big 12 rejects". And the chants today in Florida. New co-workers are dicks!

Not a super happy day for Frank Haith. His team craters in Florida, then comes word the NCAA wants to pin unethical conduct on him. Ouch.

LOL

Wonder how quickly Haith is canned.....

Nice due diligence, Alden.

Look, up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's 2013 Mizzou basketball!

A special thank you to Mizzou for taking the epitomy of medicority that is Frank Haith off Miami's hands.

We'll be hiring for two positions if Haith is canned. I see no reason why Alden, who essentially gambled for his job with the BB hire, wouldn't be shown the same door that Haith walks through.

What else can you but laugh. Good lord.

If Alden goes, Pinkel will too if he doesn't have a much improved year. That's a lot of high-level positions to fill in one off season.

Missouri stays losing

I agree. I think Pinkel was gone if next year didn't produce a bowl game, at the very least. That said, would you trust Alden to hire his replacement? I wouldn't.. Alden's track record of high-profile hirings is almost exclusively on the basketball front, and he has a less-than-stellar record of recognizing character in his hires.

LOL
