Missouri fans don't have any problem saying their basketball program is pathetic right now. Most would say we had a pathetic AD for a long time. Some on CP (the only place I have seen this phenomena) think Pinkel is worthless.
The stark difference is that Missouri fans have a realistic picture of where both their programs are, and are not out trying to convince everyone that their school is the best at everything there is to do.
How did this come to be? Can the beakers just not bear to show any weakness? Are they bitterly disappointed at not being able to parlay that one winning season in the last 20 years into any further success? Just a lot of t-shirt fans until February and March? Why the difference? |
KU just hired their 3rd head coach in five years. I think you're a bit off base with this post. The school wants to win more games as does the fanbase. Hence continually looking for the right man to fit the job.
