Georgia is not a better team than Mizzou...not at full strength...not at half strength.

I completely disagree. They were down elite playmakers at wr and tb and it was a 2 point game in spite of it in the 4q. Now their tb replacements for our game were adequate but nowhere near elite. Gurley is the best back in the country IMO. But their receivers were awful. Injuries have destroyed their season just like they did ours last yr.

Last year, the mantra from other SEC fans was "Mizzou sucks". Nevermind the injuries that completely decimated our O-Line, our QB hobbled all season, our #1 RB out the whole year . . . . now the other teams are having theirs this season and all I hear is "well, but, we're not at full strength . . . ." **** that! Bunch of pussies! We constantly heard how Mizzou couldn't compete in the SEC because we didnt have 'SEC depth', whatever the **** that is. So, Georgia and Florida, tell me where your 'SEC depth' is?? Shouldn't "great" programs like that be able to overcome injuries?? And, still, we almost beat both teams last year! We controlled the game against Georgia until the 4th quarter and should have beat Florida in the Swamp, if not for 4 INT's by a not fully healthy Franklin. Mizzou is not going away anytime soon! We will be competing in the SEC every year, barring a catastrophic turn of injuries (see what I did there). Are we Alabama? No, nor will we ever be. But we ARE in that second tier in the SEC, competing with just about everyone else. We will be a perennial Top 25 team in the SEC with the occassional 'break-through' season where we compete for the top prize in the East. And if they still want to put us down and not respect us after that, then **** em! Nothing more needs to be said. |

Second, I think it played into the perception going into last yr as people were either skeptical or unsure as to how well we'd do. So when the results reflected that perception it was all too easy to gloss over the injuries. Whereas GA was more of a known quantity this yr so the impact of injuries are more easily recognized. The one benefit is it led to Yost's ousting. We are far better off.

It's also wonderful that this team is doing things that it hasn't done in decades. But that also means the team failed to do those things for decades, including the past 13 seasons. |

It wasn't that long ago that Alabama wasn't Alabama (back in the Shula/Francione/Dubose years). They'll have down years again. I think you're being too definitive.

It's a Monday, I feel like shit, and I want to run my mouth, so here are a few things that I've noticed/think:

Should one of the lawyers at your firm call for your job if you drop a file folder? I mean, what if you had made excellent coffee every day all week long, transferred all the calls to the correct extensions for six straight weeks, and even got a great deal on a color advertisement on the back of a phone book? Should that be taken into account? I feel like it should. Not you, though. Let's fire the coach...of an undefeated team...at halftime...of a game he is winning... Fire your way to championships! Learn from Kansas! If I were to check your post history in Cardinals threads, how many "fire LaRussa" posts would I find? I'm guessing more than zero.

If not for David Freese and Lance Berkman, LaRussa would be largely remembered for managing for so long that he forgot how to correctly use a bullpen phone.

We literally blew out Florida in a game that could have had a much larger margin.

If players don't make plays, managers don't look smart. I'll grant you that, but it's not exactly an epiphany.

And no one's calling for Pinkel's job anymore, nor have they for most of the season. But hey, keep lying your little lies. Just like when your wife says she's going to the market but comes home two hours later all sweaty with her blouse buttoned wrong. |

This team was expected to win 6.5 games per Vegas. If the season ended today, Pinkel would be the National Coach of the Year. First time South Carolina gains a yard, you'll be out for blood, though.
