We have two things to look forward to this year:

1) The potential beginning of the Maty Mauk Era. Mauk represents the best chance for this program to get back to a level of respectability after horrendous QB play cost us multiple games last year.

2) The last year of the Gary Pinkel era. Pinkel's entrenched cronyism won't play in a conference this competitive, especially if he couples his abysmal gameday coaching with lackadaisical, worst-in-conference recruiting. Pinkel was the formerly adequate meal that has now turned into a four pound bowel obstruction. It's time to jam a Fleet's enema up our collective asses.

Here is the schedule. We dodge Alabama, LSU, and Arkansas in the west and the Non-con is decidedly weaker than years past.

8/31: Murray State
9/7: Toledo
9/21: @ Indiana
9/28: Arkansas State
10/5:@ Vanderbilt
10/12: @ Georgia
10/19:Florida
10/26: South Carolina
11/2:Tennessee
11/9: @ Kentucky
11/23: @ Ole Miss
11/30: aTm

Looks like 6-6. Undefeated in non-con, 2-6 in league play.

I will eventually update the OP with a list of high profile in-state recruits that decide to go elsewhere after a half-assed attempt to gain their services. The inevitable cavalcade of *** rejects, skeezers, skanks, and scalliwags we get will fill out the ranks.


Razors, cyanide capsules, and Jonestown Kool-Aid are available in the break room. Second door on the left.

Since every Mizzou thread eventually dies of AIDS, I recommend starting anti-retroviral therapy immediately. I believe Walgreens covers Express Scripts.


Premium In-State Players:

Roderick Johnson: **** OT, Florissant, MO.
Monte Harrison: **** WR, Lee's Summit, MO.
Jimmy Swain: **** LB, Lee's Summit, MO

Just run it down their throats and use short passes.

The O-line dominated tonight. Britt, in particular, was incredible.

Literally nothing to debate. The D held them to 3. Not sure with whom you would even theoretically debate that.

The result was awesome, but get real.

When has Mizzou ever had a good pass D though?

[Eleazar]

A good team doesnt necessarily believe they will keep a shitty team out of the end zone all day but we did it against a half decent one.

Hell even Bevo gave up a garbage time TD to a conference doormat today.

There is almost no such thing as good pass D in college. Maybe five teams each year have actual good corners.

They have to scheme competently, but yeah. The best pass defense is a good pass rush

Never, but that doesn't excuse letting receivers routinely run open after taking the top off the defense. What's more troubling is that these guys are doing so and then being overthrown, so it's not like they're speedsters that no one can cover. Thompson missed three or four deep touchdowns against the pass D last week, and the eyebrowless wonder missed a few more tonight.

You'd think fans of a team that got Alec Lemon'd last year and just gave up a walk-in TD on 4th and Goal from the 15 would understand the importance of smart DB play. They needn't be Revis, they just shouldn't be Pollard.

I hear Florida is one of the few schools who can recruit exceptional defensive backs on the reg.

[bowener]

I'm drunk. We won. Fun times. TN has some hot female fans.

This is true. Every word.

But what's the point grinding the ax right after we win 31-3 and are 8-1. Just enjoy it.

Anybody living in fantasyland about this defense got a dose of cold water to the face LAST week.

[Sure-Oz]

Let Franklin be the backup next week incase and get him ready 2 weeks from now. Go Tigers!
