Friday before a home football game may produce a big crowd at the Mizzou game. Otherwise 8,000 fans in a 15,000 seat arena isn't all that impressive.Quote:

No one is talking basketball. Mizzou basically has had its teeth kicked in during its inaugural football season in the SEC and all they can talk about is football. Hey, wait a minute: SEC! I'm a competitive guy, but I don't want to get my teeth kicked in by Kentucky every year. And Skyline Chili hasn't made it to Missouri yet, anyway.* Screw this haystack village, I'm going to the Queen City. Your first decision almost always is the right one."
Someone will overhear him saying all that within 48 hours.
* - that Skyline dialogue probably won't make it into his thoughts, but I miss Skyline, so there.
