Off to the Mizzou Black and Gold game.

[CoMoChief]

Just a little FYI, I will tell you what I thought.

I may be completely hammered though when I post next. Just a fair warning to all.

[KcMizzou]

It's on ESPNU, for anyone who's interested.

Starts at 1pm.

The one channel I don't get on Comcast...


buh...

[Frazod]

Friggin sucks this channel isn't in HD. :mad:

[alanm]

Friggin sucks this channel isn't in HD. :mad:At least you get to watch yours. Huskers spring game is just starting. It's on the radio at least. I hear there's over 80,000 in the stands in Lincoln. What's the outlook like in Columbia?
BTW they love football so much in Lawrence that only 7500 showed up despite there being free tickets. :eek:

[Archie Bunker]

Damn Duke vs Army Lacrosse :cuss:

[Archie Bunker]

TD Daniel to Maclin

:D

[Stewie]

I'm watching on ESPNU and I'm wondering if everything is in slo-mo. No effort at all.

[Pitt Gorilla]

The game is great so far on ESPN U. What other schools get their spring game televised nationally? This has been a great advertisement for the program.

[Archie Bunker]

Washington is going to be a beast.

uh..Oklahoma, Florida, Nebraska. Taint no big thing.

[kcchiefsus]

And that's the point exactly. That's a pretty good group to be grouped with for teams' spring games being televised.

But what do taints have to do with this conversation?:hmmm:

Nebraska declined to have theirs televised otherwise Missouri probably wouldn't be on. :)

One of my friends went to this today. Picked up a set of washers at 9 am. Crazy f*cking bastard.

I've seen just about every SEC spring game on tv down here in Tennessee. It seems like that's all the show on the CSS channel.

Still, great for the program that there's even interest in showing this game. Hopefully it becomes a regular occurance.

[Pitt Gorilla]

Nebraska declined to have theirs televised otherwise Missouri probably wouldn't be on. :)Yeah, Nebraska declined to finish the season resembling a football squad, so they took a Top 5 team instead.

[eazyb81]

Yeah, there's a strong demand for televising any game, let alone a spring game, for 5 win football teams.

[kcchiefsus]

The only reason Nebraska would be televised over Missouri would be because of their history. We certainly know Missouri is much more deserving on the field. Nebraska football is a joke now.

[alanm]

Congrats on Mizzou setting a spring game attendance record of 26,000.;)

[alanm]

Missouri football. A Tradition of 1 Year. :D

[CoMoChief]

Well I got back and they looked pretty good on offense. The defense will not be good however.


Great game analysis by me I think. I need to work for ESPN.

[Sam Hall]

Nathan Scheelhaase was in the house in Lincoln - not Columbia.

[eazyb81]

Daniel: 8-9, 97 yards, TD

D-Wash: 42 rushing yards, TD

[Pitt Gorilla]

Spring Game on ESPN U again tonight.

[Pitt Gorilla]

Nathan Scheelhaase was in the house in Lincoln - not Columbia.I can't blame him; he'll have 2 Elite 11 QBs in front of him in Columbia (Gabbert & Dalton). He probably doesn't like competition.

The difference is that Florida's game was on ESPN, not ESPNU and College Gameday was broadcast live from the field before the game. :D

[Spott]

I bet it must suck to live in f*cking Nebraska.

I completely disagree about the defense, regardless of how the Spring Game went. The defense was one of the most underrated in the big 12 the second half of last season and they really haven't lost much. Lorenzo Williams, Pig Brown, and a corner are the only losses that i am aware of. But they get another year of experience from their current players and guys like Michael Keck ready to step up and contribute.

I think Missouri's defense will be one of the best in the big 12 this year. Add that to a great offense and we could have something special.

We had something special last year - this year should be even better. And since those frauds from Lawrence have a real schedule this year, I'm thinking they will NOT be a factor.

Time to crush the Gooners and take the Big XII.

[buddha]

Nebraska fans...will you ever be able to get over the fact that KANSAS hung 70 points on your blackshirts in one game? Are you kidding me? Now, Reesing is a nice little QB, but 70 points??? Holy shit!

What's even more amazing...Nebraska scheduled Mizzou to be its homecoming opponent this year. Hey Husker fans, have you ever heard of Iowa State? That's why we have them in the North. Didn't you get the memo? It's going to really suck getting stomped to death by Chase and boys this year...enjoy that homecoming celebration, Husker fans.

We'll be expecting a big round of applause by the Husker faithful when we leave the field after winning by 2+ TDs this year.

Then why does he play for Rockhurst?

Considering that everyone scored on Callahan, and thank God he's gone now, I'd say Nebraska fans have moved on and will give Bo time to build the program. I think Bo would tell you there's a long way to go.

The schedule is done a couple years in advance.

Enjoy your win against a team picked to finish third or fourth in the North.

Mike Keck LMAO

How was Florida's defense last season?

Apparently you don't get the joke about the name 'Mike Keck'. n00b

It looks like the top matchup of opening weekend will be the Illinois / Mizzou game. Illinois is borderline top 15 in the preseason and Mizzou could be top 5. Should be a fun game.

I should look into getting tickets for that.

I'll be getting tickets for it, but I'll be on the other side wearing orange. Last year tickets were real easy to get, as no one really knew how good the two teams were going to be (people knew Mizzou would be pretty good, Illinois not so much). This year both teams are coming off great seasons so it wouldn't surprise me if the EJ Dome sold out.

Do they basically split the stadium in half like the did Arrowhead for the KU/MU game? I expected it to be split by sideline sides, but instead it was split by endzones (east half Missouri, west half Kansas).

As for the price, I figure if I get tickets early it shouldn't be too bad. If the Cards are in town, I could get baseball tickets for Sunday and make a weekend of it.

That's a nice opener. Other good opening week matchups are Tennessee/UCLA, Alabama/Clemson and USC/Virginia.

It was a helluva game last year. The defense played like crap. It took a saving interception at the goal line right at the end of the game to preserve the win for MU. I expect this year's defense to much better.

If I remember right, it was by sideline sides, which makes more sense for a football game.

I donate to the Illinois Athletic Department, so I'll just get tickets through the University for face. It's a nice little perk.

This year Illinois' offense won't be quite as good after losing Mendenhall, although Juice Williams will have one more year of experience and we have a good group of receivers returning. The O-line is talented but pretty young.

The Illinois defense should be improved this year. We've got some beasts on the d-line and return both corners from last year. Zook's recruiting is really starting to pay dividends for our defense (Martez Wilson, Josh Brent, Vontae Davis among others). It's nice to finally have good talent 2-deep at every defensive position, where 3 years ago we didn't even have 1-deep talent.

Sure would be nice to see you punk the Suckeyes again. LMAO

We have them at home this year in the 2nd to last game of the season. Many are saying it could be the game that decides the Big 10. Illinois has a tough road, though, with road games at Wisconsin, Penn State and Michigan. This year we could very well have a better team than last year but a worse record.

[Pitt Gorilla]

Game on ESPNU again. Enjoy!
