I'm hearing the Tigers upped the offer to 2.2 per year and he'll make up his mind tomorrow.

[expletive] Morgan Burke.

[expletive] him all the way to hell. This could be a horrible sports 2011. Just keeps going down.

This wait is [expletive] excruciating.

These past few days I've allowed myself to get excited, which will only make the inevitable disappointment that much worse. Man, it would be fun to be able to compete with KU every year.

From Miklasz:

It looks like this will be a happy day for Mizzou fans.

Not official; nothing announced.

But a source that I greatly trust tells me that Painter is in ... it's my understanding that Alden recently got the call.

Hopefully there will be an announcement relatively soon. And then you can officially celebrate.

Likely news conference later this afternoon.

Don't be surprised to see Painter at Busch Stadium Thursday to be introduced before the game.

Apparently Vahe wants to confirm things before he will say.
