Mizzou Quote of the Day:

Everybody wants to talk about first-round draft picks. I've had 18 straight years of first-round picks, but that alone is not impressive to me. First round is first round, whether I've trained the guy, you've trained him or my mama's trained him. Guys like Kony, who had a second-round grade, [then worked their way] into the first-round, that's what matters."
Chip Smith on Kony Early
