My take on Mike Anderson, MU

On Mike Anderson....

I like him.

He's a good guy.

He's a quiet guy.

He doesn't draw attention to himself, positively or negatively.

He does his job and he does it well.

He isn't arrogant.

He doesn't have red-headed step child disease.

He doesn't feel like he or his team are constantly getting screwed.

He seems ethical and moral.

In other words, he doesn't fit the typical MU mold which is why they were VERY slow to accept him or even care about him or his basketball team. I think the Paige was only sold out for the last 5 or 6 games of the year....and this was THE BEST SEASON IN THEIR HISTORY.

One can only hope that Mike Anderson raises the game of the average ignorant Missouri fan and illustrates to them what it means to be professional, what it means to have class, what it means to "act like you've been there before", and to not get caught up in obsessing over the younger, hotter, sexier team across the border.

Hey, a guy can dream, right?
