I’m happy to be joined today by Sam Snelling, Co-Manager of Rock M Nation, SB Nation’s Mizzou blog who was kind enough to answer some of my questions.
Brandon Birkhead: First off, stop stealing our players. It’s very uncouth.
Sam Snelling: Ok so I’m willing to bet there’s only been one guy Missouri ‘stole’ since Javon Pickett was cut loose and Mark Smith was basically jettisoned as well. I don’t remember there being too many Illini fans upset about either when the news broke. If you can show me otherwise I’ll gladly recant, but I also think if you want to hold onto players it’s best not the fire the coach they committed to!
