NCAA fines are BS, but I'mma rush 100% of the time when the #THICCERKICKER sends us home with the W!

There should not have been a fine for celebrating a win. Next, there will be fines for smiling.

Josh Armstrong

Act like you've been there before (even if it's been a decade.)

It was just KState. Stop acting so thirsty.

I say the fine wasn't big enough. $100K is barely a slap on the wrist for Mizzou (or any college) sports. If the SEC really cared about this sort of thing, fine the school $100K for every individual on the field. Then make the fine due the day after with $100K for every day the fine is late.

Remember this fine next time you call MoDOT to complain about a crumbling road or a pothole or a stoplight that doesn’t work and the UM engineering school grad who answers the phone tells you the state has no money in the budget to fix that crap. UM grads need to have their paychecks docked for this

Almost as bad an idea as replacing income taxes with higher sales taxes!

Max

You finally got one right. Did you have help?

A new tax is not the answer to the city's budget problems. City leaders need to live within your means, like everyone else. Vote NO on the new taxes.

Steve Baumann

We already pay enough in taxes. The City needs to check it's priorities and pull funding from programs that truly are not conductive to the day to day lives of the general tax paying citizen. Focus on the core competencies, not liberal dream programs.

Your own safety is your own responsibility.

Most people already drive 75 MPH, at least. Trust the people.

A lot of people drive faster than the posted speed limit - 75 to 80 instead of 70. Increasing the speed limit will just push the actual travel rates higher - 80 to 85 instead of 75. With all of the heavy trucks on the road (some that drive slow), higher speeds are just dangerous.

Shelley Vansell

Drivers are already driving 5 to 10 miles over the current limits so if it's increased I'm pretty sure they'll exceed the new limits.
