****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.

Let's just hope he lives up to his ranking, unlike that sack of shit Demien.

Talk about a letdown. What happened to him?

Conference record is the first one they use. Ultimately if SC wins out, Mizzou has to beat UK, Ole Miss, then aTm.

Conference
Head to head
Division

A loss to aTm would hurt, but a loss to Kentucky would be worse.

Not necessarily. If Georgia makes it a three way tie, we play in the SECCCG.

Not if Georgia also wins out.

If both MU loses to A&M or Ole Miss, but Georgia and SC win out, Mizzou still wins the division. The reason being that all 3 teams would have the same conference record. The first tiebreaker would be divisional record - Mizzou and Georgia have better divisional records than SC (who lost to both Georgia and Tennessee). Those 2 would have the same divisional record but Mizzou wins on the head to head.

So unless Florida manages to knock off SC next week, we all need to become Georgia fans.

Not really - both are in the West. They'd both hurt equally.

A loss to Kentucky would be absolutely crippling.

Yeah, I'm not worried about Kentucky, but playing at Ole Miss makes me nervous. I would say aTm at home is a toss up too. If only we could have beaten SC.

Oh well, this season is already much better than I thought it would be. When we entered the SEC, I thought it would be closer to 3-5 years before we started being competitive.

I actually fixed that while you were typing your post. We aren't losing to Kentucky, though.

We shouldn't lose again, period.

Call it the curse of the Missouri 4*:

Mike Keck
Nick Demien
Andrew Jones
Josh Tatum
Tyler Gabbert
Gilbert Moye
Darnell Terrell

I'm sure I'm leaving someone out.

Who's left on UGA's schedule? I am too lazy to look right now.

Ole Miss seems like a team that could really challenge Mizzou. They seem to play better against better opponents.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

If Mauk plays against Kentucky that game can be lost, as he is often inaccurate with his passes and makes poor decisions with the ball. The Ole Miss game is in no way a gimme, and I would put aTm as a four-six point favorite against Missouri in Columbia.

Demien's HS knee injury apparently was devastating. I don't think he has much lateral movement left post-surgery.

Ole Miss could more than 'challenge' Mizzou - that's a tough team.

In Oxford, they'll be even tougher.

I'm as worried about them on the road as I am A&M at home. Maybe more so (though watching the TN QB miss wide open TDs that Manziel would've hit has me pretty nervous about A&M as well).

Hopefully Clemson will beat SC - I don't see them losing to Florida at home and certainly not Coastal Carolina.

Still not used to the SEC KUpcakes in November thing.
