I've been wondering why we Mizzou fans don't have one of these.

At least that will be more legit than your newfound Bama fanboi vibe.

Gainesville is right down the road from me. I'll have to see if they play at UF next year.

And all the mizzou haters shouldnt hate (only talking to a few here). The guy is following his heart to make an, at best, lateral move to an "inferior" program that is really a step down for his career. We should respect that in a world that all too often boils down to highest bidder and best career move.

Is he taking a pay cut to go to Arkansas?

Except Anderson did go to the highest bidder....

He'll make more money at Arkansas than he did at Mizzou.

You're a good guy, but you're not gonna convince anyone with this, not after the stuff Anderson said. Yeah, sure, we were naive to believe any of it, this is big business, etc. But it still stings. Best to let us MU fans have our catharsis.

Yeah.

We should totally respect the guy that told everyone that would listen he was "ready to retire" at Mizzou 2 weeks ago. Oh yeah, after coming to the AD with his hand out the 2 previous off-seasons.

Well...until he got paid.

If he was 'following his heart' he wouldn't have spewed that BS when the job opened up. And he damn sure wouldn't have changed his mind when the $$ was right.

This wasn't his heart - this was his wallet.

He should get along really well with Bobby Petrino. Afterall, Bobby took a 'demotion' to go coach at Arkansas as well. I guess he was just following his heart.

**** Mike Anderson.

We can do better. We will do better.

Spott · 03-23-2011, 07:32 PM

The bad thing is that he'll probably do good in that weak ass SEC West. Of course he'll get beat everytime he plays UK and UF.

Have no poblems with that. Do have a problem with just jumping in feet first with a phony assimilation of all the culture, prejudices, and "baggage" of a team. It's like me pretending some deep hate of the Raiders the first year Trent played for the chiefs. You have to earn that hate. He'll, that's the reason I hate the Broncos more than the Rauders.

Not to speak for him, but he goes to grad school there...

DJ's left nut · 03-23-2011, 07:34 PM

And for what it's worth - I'm totally on board with the Cuonzo Martin hire.

He'd re-open the recruiting lanes we !@#$ed up in STL over the last decade and he already has cache in the KC area. He's an East STL product so he has ties to Missouri (not the university, but the state; he's a Purdue player). And he's a young guy that can come in here and make this program his own. He can keep Pressey if he wants him, IMO. I think he could even keep Porter.

I want Cuonzo.

Hope Gabe wouldn't be upset to see this posted. The most recent PM story:

On one of the most tumultuous days in the memory of Missouri sports, Mike Anderson's players did what the by then former Tiger coach could not. Walking out of a team meeting at Mizzou Arena, player after player wiped tears from his eyes while offering up a no comment to a throng of media.

Dak Dillon
Marcus Denmon and Missouri players will offer their thoughts at a late night press conference.
"We'll talk at the press conference tonight," Marcus Denmon said.

The day dawned with reports out of Arkansas that Anderson would be the Razorbacks' next head coach, replacing the fired John Pelphrey. At the same time, optimism flowed from Columbia, with most insisting Anderson would soon sign a contract extension believed to be worth $2 million a year for seven years.

Throughout the day, the momentum swung heavily to Arkansas. At approximately 4 p.m., media began to assemble outside Mizzou Arena, ready to get the latest on the coaching situation. Some of that media then drove to Columbia Regional Airport on a tip that Anderson's plane from Tulsa soon would be landing.

From behind a fence a little more than 100 yards away, the media watched airport security bring a silver SUV up to a plane sitting on the runway. Two more trucks pulled up to block the view of the plane's exit, but a group believed to include Anderson's family hustled into the vehicle and sped away.

Shortly thereafter, word began to emerge of a team meeting scheduled at Mizzou Arena at 7 p.m. Asked about the meeting, one player told PowerMizzou.com via text message "We'll be FINE without him."

By the time everyone had assembled at the arena, the word was out. At some point during the meeting, Arkansas officially announced Anderson as its head coach.

"It is a tremendous honor to be named the head men's basketball coach at the University of Arkansas," Anderson said in a statement. "I want to thank Chancellor (Dave) Gearhart and Athletic Director Jeff Long for this opportunity to lead the Razorback Basketball program. I am extremely excited to once again be a part of this special University and Razorback Athletics. With the continued passionate support of all Razorback fans, I am confident that we will have the opportunity to succeed on and off the court and continue to build on the University of Arkansas' championship tradition."

The comment was the only one available from Anderson, who was shuttled in and out of the meeting outside the view of the media. Steve Moore stormed past the media and drove away. Matt Pressey offered a no comment. Kim English promised he would speak at Missouri's 9 p.m. press conference.

Athletic Director Mike Alden will also be at the press conference. PowerMizzou.com will have complete coverage throughout the night.

Can you be more specific, please? I would like to understand what you are accusing me of. I need to know whether or not to be legit angry at you.

NewChief · 03-23-2011, 07:37 PM

I told you all a year ago in the thread I linked that Anderson had strong emotional attachments to Arkansas. I was dismissed as a fanboy homer then. Sorry if I'm still singing the same song. I understand that you guys are rightly pissed, and I'm not trying to rub salt in wounds. I'm just saying that the guy's heart, for legit reasons, is at Arkansas.
