****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.
Jimmy Swain: **** LB, Lee's Summit, MO

Except, they don't. They didn't win their division. If you can't at least play in your conference championship game you don't belong in a BCS bowl, you belong in the New Mexico Bowl.

How is this different than how it's always been in the NFL? What am I missing? Has there been a change recently that makes the regular season more irrelevant?

I wake up to see Michigan St. won....OF ****ING COURSE THEY DID.

Ugh....

In the NHL one hot goalie turned an 8th seeded Kings team into Stanley Cup winners.

They are almost all bullshit if you actually analyze them.

I'm sorry but bullshit. The luck factor is part of sports. The best team doesn't win all the time, but they win a lot of the time. It's how it is. If you're a sports fan you must embrace the luck factor. It's like saying, I like cars, I just wish they didn't have that stupid engine.

It's what makes the basketball tournament so great. It embraces the luck and hot at the right time part of sports. Having juggernauts go down is one of the reasons I love sports.

Yep. Not only did we lose the SEC championship, we lost the national championship.

[Jerm]

So I've been seeing Oklahoma projected as a BCS at large team and my question is...why them over Mizzou?

[notorious]

Still a good season, guys.

Mizzou did much better than expected. Be proud.

A conference can't have more than 2 teams in the BCS. This is called the "prevent the SEC from taking over the BCS if we put all the best teams in" rule.

(This year it could be known as the UCF rule.)

[BlackHelicopters]

Ohio St loses. **** MIZZOU 's luck.

[Mr_Tomahawk]

I don't understand why people have a hard time understanding how a team with 2 loses in their conference probably disqualifies them for a BCS bowl bid...?

The same kind of folks that don't understand that if you don't play in your conference championship game you don't deserve to play in a BCS game.

What BCS bowl does Missouri deserve in your opinion?

You show me the one you believe Alabama belongs in and I will answer with MU.
