7 straight bowl games and the number 1 recruit in the country along with a move to the SEC, and we're garbage?

When you started to get a hard-on after Milkman and dipshit started slinging dick-jokes at each other, I suspected you might be a mouth-breathing imbecile.

After paying more attention to your posts thereafter, I think that hunch stands confirmed.

You really aren't very bright, are you? Whatever, not wasting my time with a run of the mill troll. You're just another flame-bating half-wit that can't put a coherent argument together; hardly worth anyone's time.

Stop, just stop.

Seriously, he's another Pawnsmoker. Go look in that OC thread - he and 50/50 are essentially opposite sides of the same coin. He's just a bomb-thrower; don't let him divert the thread. Put him on ignore and move along.

Those guys did end up at some of the "blue bloods" of CFB and came in with loaded classes.

I think Dorial will help the Tiger program more in the fact that he will show similar recruits that it is ok to go to MIzzou.

IMO thats the reason Alabama, LSU, USC etc. can stay that good. They don't just get the top guy, they get multiple guys that are at the top. I think that is what this get could do for Mizzou.

Of course it could go hte other way in that this is just a one hit wonder. I hope not but you never can tell. In the end these are 18 year old kids making these decisions.

Yes I do think that he is a great get, but one of the reasons that Peterson, Barkley, and VY have succeeded like they did was because of the talent around them. They went to programs that were consistently stocked. That is where I want Mizzou to get to, but they are not there yet. On one of those programs, DGB would be even beastly-er.

Not sure how well you are going to compete in the SEC... Prolly won't even make .500...
Still can't understand why you suspect a number 1 recruit will change everything. He hasn't even stepped foot on a College field. Do you guys even add the possibilty of him being a bust?

If Franklin develops and Mauk is as advertised, then pairing DGB w/ the skill position players he has around him, especially if Josey comes back healthy, will give him as much chance to succeed as Peterson, Barkley or VY ever had.

If Mizzou fails, it won't be because of their offensive skill position players. It'll end up being because they can't run the football against those big lines in the SEC and they can't stop the run; they could just get 'out-physicaled' down there. He'll have better talent around him than guys like Calvin Johnson or Larry Fitzgerald ever had.

The offensive talent among the skill position players is world-class. They truly can run with the big dogs in that regard; the question is the big uglies in the trenches.

I'm anxious to see how Mizzou's offense translates against he Alabama's and the LSU's of the world who have world class athletes on the defensive side. Not saying it will fail just curious.

I'm also worried that Josey won't ever be himself again. If it was just the ACL i'd say it's pretty pessimistic to say he won't but with the Patella and the MCL added it's gonna be a long road.

It really is all about the trenches for MIzzou, especially the dline. Look how many dlineman come out of the SEC and make it to the NFL. IMO they need to focus on taking some of the great athletes they get and putting them on the defensive side.

Change everything? We aren't KU. We aren't trying to build a terrible program up to something great. We're trying to build a very strong program into something even better.

I'd rather compete against the best. If I wanted to root for a team that got wins against crappy competition, I'd pull for Northwest Missouri State.

As for the bust factor, the worst #1 recruit in the last decade went in the third round. I'm not too worried a bout a 6'5 225 WR who runs a 4.4 and holds the record for most career receiving yards in the history of high school football being a bust. He might get hurt, but he's not going to fail due to lack of talent.

8 wins has become the baseline for Mizzou football. We did that after losing underclassmen at DE and QB who went top 10 in the NFL draft and had to start a true Soph at QB.

Don't worry about Mizzou football. We're doing just fine without you.

Pawn's one of my favorite posters, actually.

Makes sense.

8 wins per season is going to turn into 5 wins per season once you begin your SEC play. There is a huge difference between the Big 12 and the SEC...

Wow. Maybe one day when you reach greatness you'll realize how idiotic this line of thought is.

#1 recruits are great, but they don't compare to achievement.

Don't be scared to succeed.

Ofcourse it's going to fail...
