jerryray asks: Do you think Odom was turned down on some OC offers? I was reading things on twitter about Sophie Cunningham being a dirty player...what about her game is dirty? I haven't watched a lot of the team so I don't really know. She just doesn't come across like that in interviews.
GD: On the OC, logic says some guys turned it down. It's also likely that Odom interviewed some guys that he decided not to offer the job. But I have a hard time believing that the first month was a smokescreen to go interview Derek Dooley after the NFL season ended and have him accept the job the same day. That wouldn't pass the smell test. I don't think anyone from Mizzou will ever admit guys turned it down, but logic tells you it happened.
As far as Cunningham, I'm not going to pretend that I watch the women's team religiously. She plays very aggressively and gets under the skin of some other teams. I think she's someone you love if she's on your team and don't like much if she's on the other team.
mexicojoe asks: Any word on baseball field makeover?
GD: Nothing new since I talked to Sterk in December. They'd like to have it done for the start of the season. I don't know if they will.
