Anderson Situation Dragging On, Mizzou Folks Tiring

 Send This Story To A Friend

Just a quick follow-up on our most recent Mike Anderson post.

The folks at Rivals site PowerMizzou.com don’t expect any kind of announcement — one way or the other — from Anderson.  The coach is attending the funeral of  a close friend today and isn’t likely to “call the Hogs” at a press conference in Fayetteville less than 24 hours later.

The site also notes that Missouri’s offer is on the table.  There will be “no bidding war” from Mizzou.  So our view that MU officials are calling Anderson’s bluff and saying, “take it or leave it” appears to be correct.

And that means either a) he skips town for Arkansas or b) he tucks tail, accepts the Missouri offer, and admits that he never really wanted to leave in the first place.

But you can be sure Tiger fans are getting tired of Anderson’s — and Jimmy Sexton’s — shenanigans.  Take it from ESPN.com’s Pat Forde who recently posted this on Twitter:


As a Missouri alum, my suggestion to Anderson is to take the Arkansas job.  Because the fans won’t welcome him back w open arms after this.


Thought so.
