Re: “Take a school like Missouri. Our bad years are better than their good years.”
Dear Mr. Dodds:
When the facts don’t support a statement like this, I usually consider the speaker an arrogant blow-hard.
Here are the facts:
11/12/11 Men’s Football 17-5 Mizzou over Texas
1/14/12 Men’s Basketball 84-73 Mizzou over Texas
1/30/12 Men’s Basketball 67-66 Mizzou over Texas
3/9/12 Men’s Basketball 81-67 Mizzou over Texas
5/4/12 Men’s Baseball 4-6 Texas over Mizzou
5/5/12 Men’s Baseball 5-4 Mizzou over Texas
5/6/12 Men’s Baseball 7-6 Mizzou over Texas
5/23/12 Men’s Baseball 5-0 Mizzou over Texas
That makes you an arrogant blow-hard. Your bad years are just bad years, even by Missouri standards. That is especially true given the fact that your budget is $134 million (USA Today) and lowly Missouri’s is $54 million (Columbia Business Times). $80 million can only buy you one win in major men’s sports? Wow! What an idiot. Keep your Big 12 minus two, we will enjoy the parity and honesty of the SEC.
Yours truly,
Lynn N. Bock
