The only people who actually think like this are terminally online rage addicts. A truth nuke for these folks is to get offline and visit a southern highlands crafts show; the Mt. Airy fiddlers' convention; any old family church in Edgecombe; any mountain folk dancing competition. All filled with families whose roots in this state go back a century, or two, or three. None of those places are particularly political - folks there are too polite. But if you took a poll, they'd all range from D+10 to D+50. By contrast, there is absolutely no one more white-knuckled MAGA than the retired New Jersey boomer who moved to Leland 8 years ago to larp a "southern" lifestyle he saw on TV and whose entire politics revolve around pissing off his ex-wife.

Let’s go

Last night, we put the college baseball world on notice. #GoBears | #WeAreMoState

To make this even crazier… Under DVH, Arkansas is 189-2 when scoring at least 12 runs. The two losses? 3/25/25 vs Missouri State 3/31/26 vs Missouri State

@JerryQuickel If you have a Missouri State?

I have decided to stop collecting helmets. It has become overwhelming personally and I am just not enjoying it anymore. If you are interested in one of these hit me up and I will make arrangements to ship it to you. Thanks for following along all these years- Jerry

Why so dejected, Hogs fans??

Missouri State has open fandom applications if you don’t want to sell out to the Cubs.

I coauthored the study you fuckhead.

It’s Giving Day @ MO State! What a year it’s been watching this school grow in its new @ConferenceUSA home. Can’t wait to see the continued growth of programs like @MoStateFootball as we go forward! Give today! bit.ly/MOStateFootbal…

I’m a little late to the trend but oh well. I can feel the resurrection of Mo State Basketball brewing…(I think) #Wow #GoodOleDays #MoState

Dear Springfield Residents, Will you please attend Mo State Football home games this year? Thanks in advance. Sincerely, A guy who has season tickets and drives from KC from every game. P.S. If I can do it, you can too.

The driver of interest in March Madness are the mid-major programs like High Point, Miami (OH), St. Louis, Prairie View A&M, VCU, McNeese, Siena, South Florida, and others. These teams make the tournament special.. they maximize their talent, they play together, have elite chemistry, and they show that toughness and execution can level the playing field against programs with 5–15x the resources, recruiting budgets, and NIL/revenue share money. The mid-majors, their stories and their upsets drive viewership and revenue. They are the reason for the early round interest in the tournament. Why is High Point Coach Flynn Clayman and many others frustrated? It is because the system and selection process treats elite mid-majors like second-class citizens. It should be noted that no one wants to flood the field with potential Cinderellas and dilute the tournament. However, there’s a clear case for a handful more deserving mid-majors earning at-large spots each year. As it stands today, the metrics and criteria create almost no realistic path for 99% of non-power programs unless they win their conference tournament outright. There are mid-major leagues that are strong enough on a given year that their second-best team (or their best team who gets upset in their conference tournament) would win games if they were in the field. How do we get them in the NCAA tournament in the future?

Flynn Clayman after High Point’s R64 win: “It's pretty obvious that something needs to be done about this non-conference scheduling... We couldn't get games... If we can get games like this on neutral courts and some home games, I think we'd know who's really the best teams."

The NCAA tournament continues to prove that the stuff you've been hearing about these football conference teams all year is bullshit. They are not that much better. They are just in the club and have to convince everyone else that they don't belong in the club.
