If you're a program like MU, you can't go scheduling USC and Florida for your non-con. Getting piss-pounded in the non-con sets you up poorly for the conference schedule and if you miss on a bowl game, it hammers your recruiting. So MU tries to schedule 1 solid major conference school (Illinois is usually decent), 1 cream-puff (McNeese State types), and a couple of the decent programs from MAC/WAC schools. They don't make it tough, but they don't try to make it this easy either. They shoot for a schedule that will challenge them but still let them escape with a 4-0 record. And if you don't like the non-con now, just wait until they're playing 9 conference games/season.

That's a good article on what goes into scheduling these games. We paid SDSU $850,000 to come play? ****ing hell. |

We just ran 4 straight QB sneaks w/ Franklin at their 5, didn't get in. Damn you Pinkel, I want 60.

Pinkel pretty much actively passes on scoring opportunities once MU gets above 50. I respect him for that.

Almost every major D-1 CFB coach came up through the ranks of the downtrodden. Pinkel got his start as a head coach at Toledo and I'm sure he's been on the wrong side of some lopsided scores. He knows the toll it takes on these kids, he knows it serves little purpose. It's important to remember that it's still just amateur athletics. Yeah, a few hundred of these guys will someday get paid to play this game, but 90% of them are just there to play the game. You gain nothing by crushing an overmatched squad. If MU goes out there and drops 60 on a squad that's just as talented as them but didn't come to play, I guess I'd be okay with that. But when you're playing a team that you're just flat better than, you gain nothing by blasting them other than humiliating a bunch of kids that didn't do anything to deserve it. Good for Pinkel. Guys like Steve Spurrier that get their rocks off by having their gang of 20 year olds beat the piss out of a bunch of other 20 year olds that are simply smaller and slower than them are nothing but cowardly bullies, IMO.

It's OK to put 50 on Nebraska.
It's also OK to call off the dogs on a MAC school. |

Its time for MU to be considered as a front runner for the Big 12 title and should be also talked about in National Title talk as well.
