per Phil Miller:
Just walk around the site of the Missouri Tigers’ future football practice facility and count all the bulldozers pushing dirt around, marvel at all the cranes ready to erect a new football barn, and you’ll understand how the Tigers intend to approach their daunting-but-exhilarating new football existence.
Don’t see ’em? That’s because there are none. The long-planned project, relatively modest by Southeastern Conference standards, was abruptly scuttled, at least for the time being, last month.
The Tigers, you see, are thinking bigger.
“The magnitude of this project is much greater,” athletic director Mike Alden said at a news conference to announce, at the suggestion of coach Gary Pinkel, the change in priority to a huge new football complex adjacent to the stadium that will include an enormous weight room and luxurious locker rooms. It’s an apt metaphor for how things have changed in the long-slumbering program.
“Gary just looks at it like, ‘Look, man, this is just the next step,’ ” Alden said. “ ‘We’ve just got to keep it going. Just keep building.’ ”
