Mizzou Fan doesn't want Grinch anyway; he was strictly a nepotism hire.

My girlfriend and I are taking my 70 year old mother (Arkansas native and alum) to see this game (possibly not if the rain sucks). We are skipping T-giving this year. It doesn't seem right without my father being here. Maybe next year it will, but not this time. Anyway, we are staying in Bentonville Thursday-Saturday. We are going to hit up Crystal Bridges too.

I have yet to purchase any tickets since the prices seem to be falling a bit. I have friends that go to law school there that are willing to snag me some student tickets for $20 a piece, but with my mom having pretty bad Parkinson's, steps are not the best thing to traverse. If anybody in here has advice on where to try and sit or get tickets (looking at you NewChief) please let me know.

What do you dislike about the way they play? Seems like pretty typically Tampa 2 technique. Occasionally see some wide-9 looks.

Kul's ability to find/identify guys who can succeed is probably his greatest asset. I'm sure the criteria used there are no secret to Odom.

I'm hoping you mean you are driving down Thursday evening?

He has made the defense at Wazzu better in just one year. More turnovers, more sacks, etc. They aren't great but a whole lot better than they were the past couple years.

If you listen to the local sports talk shows here in "the other Columbia", his name comes up rather frequently as a candidate that others are coveting for a Head Defensive Coordinator.

Grinch would jump at a chance to DC a better program, especially one to which he already has ties. It's a no-brainer move.

Re: Kul and other DC jobs... Yeah, he will have offers, probably better than co-DC at a pathetic Illinois program.

I'd just be shocked to see him working for Odom after what I've heard, and honestly, I'm not convinced he's a great DC, anyway.

Being a kick-ass position coach doesn't mean you can automatically handle more. See Andy Hill for a Mizzou example. He was a great WR coach and has been pretty bad as the QB coach.

Wazzu is a program on the rise which has shown that it can play with the big boys in the conference. Mizzou is a program in turmoil in one of the worst divisions in a P5 conference.

Yrah. That's what I dislike. They are flying up field every play, which is great in the passing game, but runs them right out of the run game. It's just personal preference.

Ho Lee ****


I literally thought the game was Saturday. Guess I'll be driving down tomorrow morning. Good thing I decided to stay on Friday night instead of Saturday night.

Bob Dole couldn't forget the date because &0% of the people Bob Dole knows are Arkansas fans. Who BTW, are almost as obnoxious as Cowboy fans.

You have to see it without elite talent at the DE position. It really does blow.

Wazzou is Wazzou.

If Missouri offers him the DC job, he will leave. Just like if Missouri offered leach the HC job, he would leave.

And that's not considering that most of Grinch's family lives within an hour drive of Columbia. Or that he would be coaching for his uncle's program, where he had worked before. Or that he would jump right back into recruiting territory where he has connections.

All it considers is that Missouri can pay him more, in a more prestigious league.

I don't think Leach would jump. His style doesn't work everywhere. Particularly places that have more media coverage. He hates reporters and dealing with boosters. Pullman, WA is about as remote as you can get on both those fronts.

Our biggest donating alum, Paul Allen, doesn't donate to the AD that much. Almost strictly to the academic side.
