I'm working on a story talking to some people about the SEC and such. I asked one person who was very involved with Missouri moving to the SEC if the move would have happened if Gary Pinkel hadn't resurrected the football program and put it where it was in 2010-11 (you'll know who it was when the story eventually comes out). This was a really interesting response to me:
"We knew Pinkel was a quality guy. Frankly we didn’t think Missouri had been that good of late. We were impressed with what looked like was going to happen if they got into the SEC, the big facility push, all the things that they were going to do. We had no idea Pinkel was gonna turn around and beat us and be that good that quick."
