** MU Cotton Bowl Victory Thread**

[petegz28]

Need new thread because other one is hosing the server

[Sully]

Comineeeyeeehawww!!!!

[O.city]

Hey Djln, marquise lee just declared today.


Also, go check out brandin cooks from Oregon state.

[TimBone]

They won? Congrats!

[mschiefs1984]

GREAT WIN for Mizzou they proved a lot this year. Now time for the Chiefs to do the same thing

[dirk digler]

YES
YES
YES

[jjchieffan]

M-I-Z

[Fairplay]

My thread is better KC native downloads gay porn while game is going on. Shameful I know.

[TribalElder]

Sweet

[LoneWolf]

Congrats Mizzou fans.

[Prison Bitch]

I caught the second half, glad I did. Lotsa drama for sure.

[Eleazar]

I suppose that when you can play that poorly and win by 10, that's not such a bad thing.

[gblowfish]

Hit me like my high blood pressure medicine...

[Pitt Gorilla]

Z-O-U!!!!! **** YEAH!

[Sannyasi]

Always nice to end the season with a win. Josey is going to be a hell of a player on Sundays. I'm excited to see what Pinkel can do with next year's squad.

[mnchiefsguy]

Hell of a finish.

5th victory over a ranked opponent this year! (Most since 1976)

[Mosbonian]

Well....the dominoes have fallen in place to have MU actually end up ranked no lower than #5 in the final BCS poll.

[KcMizzou]

For once, things went our way in a big game. That was fucking glorious.

The quick change from, "fuck we're screwed... yet again" to "FUCK YES WE GOT THIS!!!!!!" was... orgasmic.

[Eleazar]

I saw the ball come out on that last play and I was just sitting there blinking as he returned it like, "Wait, is this it? We're not gonna blow it?" haha

Okay dammit -which thread are we in? In either event, responding to your Josey question:


He's a 3rd round talent easily but I don't know that he's a good pick for the Chiefs.

In the end, yeah I'd probably take him at the end of the third because I think he's a great value pick there. But I don't expect him to fall that far.

ALL TIGERS DRAFT!!!

1st: Ealy
3rd: Josey
4th: Gaines
5th: Washington
6th: Lucas
7th: Britt

And that's a completely defensible draft.

[DomerNKC]

WTG Guys! If you were not traitors you might have been good enough to finish third in the Big 12!!

[KcMizzou]

WTG Guys! If you were not traitors you might have been good enough to finish third in the Big 12!!Really?

Surely Gaines will go higher than that, right?

[Rasputin]

Midwest Rock and Roll the Nation.

[Chiefspants]

Congrats on win, Mizzou fans!

[Saul Good]

Surely Gaines will go higher than that, right?

Yes. Mid second round. Late first in most years.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

If Gaines has decent workouts he might make his way up to the second round. He was incredibly physical tonight. Played great.

I'll really miss him.

[KcMizzou]

I saw the ball come out on that last play and I was just sitting there blinking as he returned it like, "Wait, is this it? We're not gonna blow it?" hahaI know, right? Seemed like there had to be a flag or something.

[Pepe Silvia]

Great frickin' ending and great frickin' night.

[DJ's left nut]

Surely Gaines will go higher than that, right?

Maybe, but he doesn't have the size/speed to play man and I'm not sure there's a place in the current NFL for a zone corner out wide.

He's a perfect Cover-2 guy, IMO. But now that the rules have made that kind of defense virtually obsolete, he's probably exclusively a nickle corner. Scott Pioli's not around to take the guy 2 rounds too early this season.

I don't expect him to fall to the end of the 4th, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him as a late 3rd, early 4th round guy.

[GloryDayz]

I'm in with a hearty WOOT!!













And a hearty "FUCK YOU GARY!!!!!" too.....

[Eleazar]

I know, right? Seemed like there had to be a flag or something.

I think I was all mentally prepared for the coup de Mizzou, so much that when we iced the game it took a minute before I came to

I see him as a taller Brandon Flowers.

[DJ's left nut]

If Gaines has decent workouts he might make his way up to the second round. He was incredibly physical tonight. Played great.

I'll really miss him.

Maybe some day somebody will be able to explain to me why Steck kept putting him in short zones and giving heavy coverage responsibilities to Matt White.

Almost certainly the best all-around CB in Mizzou history.

Losing Ponder will hurt as well. I'll tell you though, Penton looked awfully good in limited run. I liked Gibson's size/speed.

If we can get some improvement in our athleticism at LB and safety, it will do a lot to make up for the loss of Gaines. I love Wilson and his leadership, but he's just sooooo sloooooow and obviously White's shortcomings are well known. We play so much zone anyway that upgrades at LB/Safety will do a lot to keep our coverage sound.

Too bad KC doesn't have a 2nd round pick :banghead::banghead:

[DJ's left nut]

I think Flowers is a better athlete.

The combine will give him a chance to prove me wrong.

[|Zach|]

Lots of messy shit but that is a deserved result and a good season.

Feels good.

[GloryDayz]

Michelle Bogowith sporting the "My baby's daddy just won a big one" smile... And the emphatic ending to "M-I-Z" with "Z-O-U BABY"!!!

All I have to say is.....

Gaines is a great athlete. If Flowers is better, it's not by much. I think Gaines is, actually.

[tredadda]

Well....the dominoes have fallen in place to have MU actually end up ranked no lower than #5 in the final BCS poll.

No way they finish as low as #5. They were #8 and #7, #6, #5, and #3 all lose. I think if Auburn loses then the final 4 will be #1 FSU, #2 MSU, #3 Mizzou, and #4 Auburn.

[DJ's left nut]

Gaines is a great athlete. If Flowers is better, it's not by much. I think Gaines is, actually.

He's a powerful athlete, but not a terribly explosive one.

Like I said, he'll have a chance to prove me wrong and do so emphatically in the combine. I certainly hope he does - I'd love to be see the guy kick some ass on Sundays.

[siberian khatru]

Almost certainly the best all-around CB in Mizzou history.



Roger Wehrli and Eric Wright say "hi."

[DJ's left nut]

Nobody's moving Mizzou ahead of Auburn after we got depantsed in the SEC championship game.

Moreover, I think it's very unlikely that Alabama gets moved behind us.

I think we end at 5.

1: winner
2: MSU
3: loser
4: Alabama
5: Mizzou

[DJ's left nut]

Roger Wehrli and Eric Wright say "hi."

I think Gaines is better than Wright. Wehrli was a guy I thought about but ultimately I just think Gaines was asked to do more against much tougher competition.

Though I certainly understand anyone that believes otherwise.

You really think Alabama will only drop one spot after getting abused by OU? I can't see it. No way sports writers are that thick.

[DJ's left nut]

Yes. Yes I do.

Because sports writers are that thick.

[Saul Good]

Yes. Yes I do.

I don't think so. I think a few SEC haters may see this as their time to smite Bama and move them way down.

[DJ's left nut]

For what it's worth, kudos to you on your resolution to the smack talk thread. I think you're right - it's done.

I put the thread on ignore and that's the last I'll see of it.

It's time to move on.

I'll still post in it, but I won't talk down the Big 12.

Also...I literally thought of that gif you posted while typing my post. I "hang out" with you assholes too much.

They're definitely throwing numbers at the problem with this recruiting class. Between Greg Taylor, Dennis, and Wingo, you hope you get, at worst, two starters in the secondary out of this class, and you might get more if they flip a guy like Zanders over to safety.

Lee will eventually help out the LB corps, but losing Sikes hurts.

The '15 class looks to be absolutely epic in terms of in-state +East St.L DL talent. It's going to be tough expecting Ray and Golden to do it all on their own.

I've heard good things about Charles Harris and Marcus Loud, though Harris is so raw, he might need one more year before he really makes an impact.

Hopefully, they get some addition by subtraction at S (Matt White is SO bad... never seen a guy whose best bet to tackle offensive players is to fall down after hitting them and having them trip over him) and the freshmen CBs (Penton and Gibson) continue to improve and keep them from falling off a cliff at CB.

Webb/Simon/Singleton should be Missouri's best safety pairing in some time.

[gblowfish]

I had to take some antacid and walk this one off. Too much stress. Jesus I'm glad we're finally done with Franklin. Holy tap dancing spread eagle Jesus....

And,

The SEC must have spent a fortune on this ref crew. After Alabama got punked by OU, they couldn't allow another SEC team to lose to the Big 12. Mission accomplished.

We did get a lot of favorable calls. Pick 6 recalled for sure huge swing.

Cowboys are used to losing football games in that building, it was. Destiny

Was pretty blatant defensive holding/PI on the overturned pick 6 that helped the DB get into position to pick it off.

As for the rest of the game... Okie Lite can't bitch about any of the overturned incomplete pass calls on the field. The line judge on that side of the field must have gotten loaded before the game or something, because the guy blew 3-4 very easy calls.

1st: Ealy

And that's a completely defensible draft.

If Justin is drafted, he'll be he first from my small home town. Very intelligent and generous young man.

[Mr_Tomahawk]

In.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

I love Mizzou, but not like some of you guys. Congrats fellas!

[OrtonsPiercedTaint]

The 1st quarter was all I could take. Nice to hear the 4th made up for it.

[Dallas Chief]

Congrats to Mizzou on the exhibition win...as somebody else called it.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Had as much of a feel as a BCS game
More exposure than the fruit bowl got.

[Braincase]

Congrats on a fine season and bowl victory.
