But I do agree that I am full of shit. Mauk's play just really ****ing irks me so I do like to troll his ballwashers a bit.

Obviously he has to play way better, but it's tough to dock a guy for lack of style points after we just won at South Carolina.

Mauk still has a long ways to go to reach his potential, but I think people forget that he has made just 9 starts as a collegian. Hopefully, as he starts getting into his 13th+ start, we start seeing the same effect Missouri usually gets with its QBs (everyone being more effective in year 2 as a starter than year 1).
Saturday was equally frustrating, encouraging and astounding. It was frustrating to watch the offense struggle so mightily for such a long period of time. It was encouraging to see how well the defense played, even when Golden had to go to the bench in the second half. And it was astounding they turned that into a win considering where they were sitting and what the offense had looked like until that moment.

As for the rest of the offense... boy, they really need to get Morgan Steward healthy OR just start trusting Ish Witter more, because Mizzou could really use Murphy's playmaking ability out of the slot as they worked on in preseason camp.
Just thin on playmakers who are ready out there. Hopefully, White and Hunt are recovered enough to get into the game against Georgia. I was encouraged by Nate Brown (who seems to gain separation any time he's out there) and Sean Culkin's play (also getting open a lot), but adding a dynamic make-you-miss guy like Murphy as a factor in the slot could help out quite a bit out there.

There's plenty of reasons to be optimistic. There's also plenty to be pessimistic. Nearly halfway through the season, I still have no idea what we've got.

Not a lot of noise on recruiting in a while. Biggest news of late is that Imatorbebhe decommitted. TBH, I don't see it as much of a loss. Looking as his stats, he doesn't seem to be much of a factor.
Missing out on a TE makes the Hentges departure a little worse, but I'm not sure either of those guys was really the answer. Here's hoping against hope that Oregon totally craters and Ofodile begins to reconsider his college choice. This team needs receivers badly. For years we've had large targets on the outside. All the new guys and recruits are 6'1 or smaller, save Emmanuel Hall. This team could really use some size on edge.

At this point, this class all hinges on Beckner. Depending on who you look at (247, Rivals, ESPN) he's either the best defensive recruit we've had a shot at since Sheldon or he's the best defensive recruit we've ever had a shot at.
I don't think he's quite the prospect that Sheldon was, but, IMO, he'd easily be the fourth best recruit of the Pinkel era, after DGB, Gabbert, and Sheldon, in that order.

Sometimes it depresses me to think of what Gabbert could have been had Christensen stayed around. He learned so many bad habits from Yost....****.
Going from Yost to Jack Del Rio...God, what a death spiral.

He's right. The south stands have been garbage for forever.
