****Official 2013-14 Missouri Tiger Football Repository Thread****

['Hamas' Jenkins]

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.

I think the bcs is fine but not necessarily the way it's used. Let it determine your top 8 teams and play it out.

If two losses are weighted disproportionately then by definition one is penalized more.

Imagine MU-KU splitting the season series in basketball. When looking at seeding, would the selection committee ever seed one lower because it lost a game in March instead of early February?

Imagine two teams split their divisional games in the NFL, and both finished 15-1; the tiebreaker is not margin of victory, conference, or divisional record, but who lost the second game.

Isn't that profoundly idiotic?

It is, but it's supposedly serves the purpose of getting the best teams at the time in the right spot.

Dunno if i believe it or not

Is Ealy gonna declare? I'm seeing some stuff that says he could be a top 15 pick, if that's true, I'd think he'd go.

You know, I'd never really considered it, but given his build and raw athleticism, it shouldn't really be surprising.

I always thought his sack numbers would be a little higher than what they've been, but he really came on this year. He's not quite the rangy athlete that Aldon was, but he's a lot thicker.

I don't know if he's got enough quick twitch to play RDE in the NFL, but I think he could be an elite one-gapping five technique or LDE. He could even put on another fifteen pounds and play three technique in a Tampa 2.

Well.....like I said the CapOne Bowl took SC because they travel well. It's not a bad situation to be in the Cotton Bowl, although facing Okie State is going to be a bear.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

FWIW, I definitely think Josey should declare. If he got hurt again it would be an absolute tragedy.

Okie State is a good team, but if Missouri is built to play any team in the top 15, it's a team like that.

That said, Gundy will probably fit Steckel for another clown suit.

I think the matchup favors Mizzou quite a bit.

It should but them bastards are always lucky as balls against Mizzou. We always drive up and down the field on them and those pricks will force a turnover at the goal line.

Is there really that much difference between the Citrus Bowl and Cotton Bowl?

[duncan_idaho]

DeArmond thinks it is possible Early and Golden both declare for the draft. Would suck.

Yes it would.

[Mosbonian]

So....I really don't know the answer to this but how do the payouts work.....do all the conferences pool everything that the teams get and then distribute equally among all members in the SEC?
