Mizzou Basketball: What's the Problem?

I am really baffled by the Mizzou Men’s Basketball team lately. Yes we started the season off on the wrong foot, but forgive me but I thought we were turning things around and we were starting to win some games. But, now I can see that those few games must have been complete luck because now we absolutely suck!
I don’t understand what our problem is. Last night I was watching the game against Baylor and I had to change the channel because we were just playing like crap and I couldn’t bare to watch it any longer. I grew up in Columbia so I have been raised watching Mizzou sports. I can remember when we had an amazing team and we actually won the Big 8 and went to the Elite Eight of the NCAA tournament.
A lot of people automatically assume that the problem is Coach Q; however, I think som
e people are just a little quick to point fingers. It can’t all be the coach though because if it was then the team would be consistently bad I think, I mean the team has it on and off nights but lately the players just don’t even play the fundamentals of the game. I think the fundamentals of the game are the most important and for some reason our team just can’t get them right.I mean am I the only person that thinks something is terribly wrong lately. I think our team is quickly losing the support of the community which is very sad, but we don’t want to go watch a game were we lose by 30 points, that’s just embarrassing.

Congratulations Abby, you may have just found the most insanely creepy picture of Quinn Snyder EVER taken (and yes, that IS saying something :-)).
I share your sentiments though. Perhaps there's something in the Columbia water (ya know, besides all the chlorine) that's put such a cramp in Mizzou's step. Otherwise, I can't quite put my digits on it either. And I do agree that we shouldn't put so much pressure on Snyder (I mean, he's already taking enough heat from his dealer as it is [gee, I sure hope I don't get in trouble for saying that]).
Great blog Abby! I'll make sure to keep up with all your crazy adventures in the future. Adios!
