This is about women's softball so its sort of a"who gives a shlt" type of thing but its also pretty dang funny. Apparently, the coaches and administrators between Missouri and Missouri State got into a complete pissing match after a recent game. You have to read the last two e-mails back and forth between them. I wonder if this goes on in sports that anyone actually cares about?
This is the 2nd to last e-mail from Missouri St to Missouri after the Tigers whipped them-

Hi Lisa, My staff and I have discussed whether or not to continue the series with Missouri in the future and have decided not to based on the following:
1) Ehren was overheard saying to his team after our game this year that they should have run ruled us because we were no better than a "5A High School Team". His total disrespect for our program and our players is unacceptable.
2) It is widely known that Ehren consistently disregards the NCAA recruiting rules. In our view, winning only has meaning if it is done fairly and within the rules.
3) While at Killian Stadium in April your team spit sunflower seeds in the dugout and on the turf despite the sign that says "No sunflower seeds." Again, a sign of total disrespect for the rules, our program and facility. While we think it is an important series and one we would like to continue, the lack of mutual respect makes it impossible for us to do so. Holly & Staff
"Holly" is the MSU coach. "Lisa" is someone in the AD office at Missouri and "Ehren" is the (male) head coach at Missouri. Here is his epic response-

Wow! Are you serious holly? Big accusations about my character and no clue of what you're talking about. This isn't really about my character though, its about yours...or lack there of.
The truth of the matter is you're scared to get your ass whipped yet again by old mizzou.
Have the courage to say what it really is and quit hiding behind your phony excuses. You've been ducking us for a while now and you know it.
Pull your tail out from between your legs and learn how to compete.
I bet your players see right through you like i do.
Why don't you do the right thing and show these impressionable young ladies how to face a challenge instead of running from one?
If/when you decide to be a big girl, you know how to get ahold of me.
In the meantime, If you need tips on how to compete against mu, ask coach guttin.
Ps this current arrangement is actually good for my team because even when we trounce you, our rpi drops. Last time i checked you were at 118. I have to give you credit though, you've been able to keep your job despite being horseshit for so long.
Hats off...
