Mizzou Quote of the Day:

“That was the goal of our class when we arrived with Coach [Larry] Smith in 1994; we wanted to restore Mizzou football to a respectable level on the national stage. He literally had to resurrect the program from the dead. His first two recruiting classes were mostly made up of tough in-state kids from every demographic, all of whom wanted to the same thing – make Mizzou football a winner again.”
