NEW STORY THE CHAMBER: APRIL 5 2024

making sure that @Carnell75 doesn't get attacked by the angry Lair mob. lol
“My internet friends are gonna be mad at me!” God, we’d get what, 4 or 5 threads out of it? Plus at least one every time it happened afterward? I’m kinda rooting for it now.

Trying to enjoy these heady days before the eventual revenue sharing and salary caps!

How can there be salary caps on NIL money that doesn't come from the schools? Patrick Mahomes and all other NFL players and other professional athletes have no cap on what they can earn from outside sources.
 
The amount of OL & WR talent we’re in on right now is mind boggling.
We took a chance on a young, promising coach and we might have won the lotto. If Drink & staff can land the class they are lining up and translate that success on the field, the machine will be running full tilt and money won't be a factor in anything he ever wants to do here. Likewise, if Drink makes the playoff and we give him a massive raise with long-term extension to lock him up, we could finally see Mizzou football back for a generation.
Very, very exciting times ahead.
 
Man, I adopted Michigan State as the college that I rooted for since I went to a small ENgineering school in the midwest with D3 sports. If Missouri manages to land a couple of the linemen they are recruiting and continue to build they may have a fan that sticks even after my son leaves. It's pretty awesome that he was a part of the change for this team. That after the SEC academic honors he received have been two of his biggest achievements for me since he has been in college.
Love it!!
 
I don’t get why Missouri would need to be in any rush to hire an AD right now. To slap Larissa Anderson on the wrist for losing to SEMO? Attend some electric Mizzou baseball games? Give Dave Matter a story to tell? It’s the football and basketball offseason, there should be no rush. Just make the right hire.

Also, I can’t believe Aidan Shaw is signing up to come back after being drug around like a dog on a collar by Dennis Gates all year. Befuddling.

I sure as heck hope so. But those are some dog gone BIG IFs.

SIAP, is Shaw confirmed to come back? I know he and his parents love Mizzou. I agree that he seemed to get singled out a lot by Gates last year.

I guess that’s the thing, I can’t see Drink getting Zollers, that OL and those WR and squandering it.

It feels like we are on a rollercoaster that crested the very top of the first hill and we just heard that final “click” letting us know it’s time to hold on.

Not technically confirmed, but he’d be doing himself a disservice to keep waiting. Spots fill up quick.

If they go to salary caps we’ll go back to the under the table payments. A salary cap would do nothing
 
MM............you were pretty feisty last summer leading up to the season regarding what you wanted to see out of Drink and the team (not saying I disagreed). You going to go a little easier on them this summer?
I got what I wanted...11-2. Drink did his job...I'll shut-up. Purdy simple.

Now can Drink continue the momentum from '23??????????????????? Mizzou/SEC football is a heavy lift. If Drink falls on his face, you'll hear from me then. Hope he doesn't. My expectations have not changed...win! I will not accept a .500 or losing team/head coach.
