And you can prevent me from editing my own user settings all you want.
But you can't change the fact that MU no longer has a former Duke player incompetently attempting to coach basketball.
An almost embarrassing exhibition win means virtually nothing, just like Mizzou's probable 50+ point win in Friday's exhibition opener will be irrelevant.
They play the games for a reason, and incorporating nine new guys (many pulled in from the scrap heaps at the last minute) into a lineup that had almost no talent to begin with isn't going to be a smooth process. These things take time. And even with time, it would take a coaching genius to turn a team full of guys no one else wanted into a winner (and, no offense, that does describe the majority of your players on a Big 12 level). As long as the effort and attitude is there and improvement is visible, Capel's doing a good job (but like I said last spring, I think you would've been better off letting a new coach clean up this mess; it's extremely difficult for a coach to dig his own hole and then get himself out).
Enjoy watching this team grow up.
It's basketball season.
