Mizzou Quote of the Day

I'm not a marathon runner, but I've studied enough and have run a little bit in my time. There's a high percentage of people that sign up to run a marathon that never finish it. … Once you hit mile-marker 20, human nature tells you, 'That's really, really hard.' And a lot of people drop out. (The players) realize that they've done a lot of work, they've gotten up to that point, and you can see the finish line. Now you've got to go take it.
