"How fckn evil and dim-witted can you be to not care about Wolfe and his family?"

If you want to be critical of the hunger striker then you might as well be critical of Wolfe. Think he and his family will do quite well. He came from the private sector, previous job as President Novell Americas, part of a multi-national software company. And as President of the MU system he was paid $450,000/yr,100,000 bonus potential, plus free housing and car so he and the family were doing OK.
Who knows what kind of parachute he had when leaving Novell.

Harbringer, if you honestly believe the drivel you are posting right now you are one of the most mother fucking stupid people on the face of the Earth. If you are being honest here I sincerely hope you get some mental help because you just do not have the mental capacity to operate in any function that is useful to humanity. Holy shit.

BTW here is the police report for the swastika incident, just to discredit anything you have posted at all since you decided to spill your insanity on the topic.

Definitely another mishandling just based on the headline (and sort of about football): Mizzou will wear all-white uniforms against BYU at Arrowhead Stadium

I'm going on a hunger strike until Mizzou scores a touchdown.

" the state, the curators, the university seem to have now placed Football as the primary driver at the school."

This may be the first act of many to follow, especially for football and basketball teams. What do you think KU would do if the basketball team staged a walkout just before conference play or a game involving a big name opponent? Or OU or TX if their football teams made the same power play? Notre Dame? Or any school scheduled to play in the college football playoffs or the Final Four?


"All racial innuendo aside, Missouri handled this entire incident extremely poorly."
and
"Honestly, is that what it has come to? If you make a lot of money, it's OK to have your reputation sullied, the quality of your job performance brought into question, your credibility destroyed for absolutely no reason at all."

Yes, this was handled poorly so we agree on that point. And when you are in a position at a level as Wolfe your job performance does come into question. It doesn't matter if you are the department head of a local government unit, a city manager or in a position like Wolfe had.
Making a lot of money only came into play as a counterpoint since someone brought up the wealth of the family of the striker. As for Wolfe he should still have a bright future. He will be recycled like most executives in business, city managers, school superintendents, and managers in baseball and coaches in football and basketball. As many have said "hired to be fired".


"I guess libel is fine too if the victim is wealthy enough."

It's only libel if the statement is false.


"can we get back to football please?"

Given the seasons so far of the Chiefs, MU, KU and K-State there isn't much more to talk about.

Yes, that is what it has come to. The anti-1% mob is out for blood. They will demonize this country, our ideals and our history until they steal what they want. Because, well, it's much easier than actually working for it.

Pinkel gone after this year. Health reasons cited, but it's hard not to look at the past week of activity and not draw some connections.

Mizzou is imploding. Glad that bomb is in the SEC instead of the Big 12.

Sounds like a lot of work.

I assume you mean the football program, not the University? Because the events occuring at MU are pretty mild, and certainly don't portend any kind of implosion. I mean, compared to the student movements of the late 60s and early 70s, all this seems pretty tame, and places like Kent State and Berkeley and hundred of others are still chugging along.

Poor KU football. Just saw a '91 movie called Necessary Roughness about a down and out college football program. A Texas university football team is made up of school walk-ons. It starts the season 0-8. For game nine on the last play of the game the Texas school ties the game 3 - 3 on a field goal kicked by a woman soccer player. Before the play the opposing team is identified as The Jayhawks and the scoreboard has the team as Kansas.
KU football just can't get respect.

That's not just some woman soccer player - it's Kathy Ireland.

And don't forget, Texas State beat Texas at the end of the movie, so a tie to that team isn't so terrible, right?

I also think that the filmmakers were giving a nod to Kansas all time lead in Division I-A college football when it comes to ties (57) - a record that will never be broken.

At the end of the movie Texas State did beat Texas. Went for two points instead of a game tying extra point in game 10.

Why does KC not have a College Football Bowl Game in Arrowhead?

Good question. They'll claim it's because of "weather" but there are far colder/wetter cities than KC hosting outdoor bowl games.
