    I'll bet Melissa Click would Click them.

    Might be her new line of work.

    That'll make the subsequent lawsuit for punishment of speech that much easier to win.

    Drop the mic.

    That's captures exactly the dynamics in play in Columbia -- and that town is probably even more enlightened when compared with Springfield, Rolla, Cape Girardeau and Kirksville - the other large state schools outside of UMKC or UMSL.

    Given the racial tension this week surrounding Mizzou, let's just say that I really like MU +5 over a team of the composition of, say, BYU.

    The media was invading the space that they created on public property.

    Can we throw frisbees around in church?

    Sure, and then the players could get recruited by the other SEC teams to play against them. And if Mizzou tried some sort of "you can't transfer to another SEC school" thing, then, well, the ex-Weber State's player's lawsuit against the NCAA just got some additional plaintiffs.

    Sorry, but I have a very hard time believing "the state's flagship university is full of rural, redneck racists." If that were true, there'd be a helluva lot more than this comparative handful of incidents (like the drunk guy spouting epithets ... as I understand it his disciplinary process is underway).

    I'm a little late coming to this story.

    What exactly was it that they wanted the president to do that he didn't do?

    Once she gets canned, I can't wait to hear tales from students talking about the kinds of things Ms. I-need-some-muscle taught in her classes. Wouldn't even be surprised if some students take the opportunity to make up some stuff to make her sound really bad.
