****Official Mizzou Football 2022-2023 Thread****

[jjchieffan]

Here’s the Tigers’ full schedule:

Sept. 1: Louisiana Tech, 7PM W

Sept. 10: at Kansas State, 11:00AM


Sept. 17: Abilene Christian, 11:00AM

Sept. 24: at Auburn, time TBD

Oct. 1: Georgia, time TBD

Oct. 8: at Florida, time TBD


Oct. 15: Bye

Oct. 22: Vanderbilt, time TBD

Oct. 29: at South Carolina, time TBD

Nov. 5: Kentucky, time TBD


Nov. 12: at Tennessee, time TBD

Nov. 19: New Mexico State, time TBD

Nov. 25: Arkansas, 2:30 p.m.

I found the schedule, so I figured that now is as good of a time as any to start a new thread. Coach Drink has done well turning around the mess that Odom left behind. Solid recruiting has our best commit class in years coming in this year. The schedule isn't bad. A bowl game should be a given. I would like to see 9 -10 wins this year, with one of the wins coming against Arkansas. I really don't like losing to Odom.

Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz called it the best recruiting class ever for the Tigers.

Sure enough, Mizzou's current class is ranked No. 11 by ESPN, No. 14 by 247 Sports and No. 17 by Rivals, the highest in program history

31st vs 76th ranked classes

Seems to be working

I don't know if there is a Mizzou basketball thread, but Calipari is furious in this game and it is funny.

He's taking MASSIVE swings.

The guy's not going out there competing against KU here. We came in 2nd for Jayden Daniels - to be in it that late and lose out to LSU ain't worth being embarrassed by. Spencer Rattler is more sizzle than steak. Dillon Gabriel leaves UCF and they don't miss a beat while OU gets him and they fall on their face.

Jaxson Dart IS Brady Cook. Quinn Ewers just went wherever he got paid. Adrian Martinez was a faster Cook and to replace him Nebraska got...what, precisely out of Thompson? JT Daniels was hugely disappointing at WVU; again - every bit as bad or worse than Cook.

There's one guy I think we probably could've landed who would've moved the needle and we 'missed' on and that's Michael Penix. I'm not gonna sit here and barbecue Drink because he didn't nail a guy who'd completed less than 60% of his passes while playing all of 20 games over 4 years at Indiana.

This is just irrational.

I’m following the game in Munich at 1:30 am.

Looking forward to clapping KU’s cheeks again in a month.

As long as we don't lose to St Peter's in the tournament, I think we'll be OK.

I didn’t realize St. Peter’s was Kansas?

People here give posters shit for saying SEC if it’s not Mizzou.

That’s the same thing.

Should have worried about clapping St Peter's cheeks.

And it's a pretty small class.

All things considered, when adjusting for 'volume' (which you have to do to deal with NCAA scholarship limits), I think Mizzou's class is probably in the 23-26 range. I'd take our class over several teams 'ranked' ahead of ours. Baylor, KSU, Nebraska, Mississippi State, Texas Tech, Colorado, Iowa, Washington - they all have higher ranked classes than we do and I'd take our class over theirs.

I think South Carolina has a REALLY comparable class to ours in terms of individual quality - it's just a bigger class than we have. And they're ranked just outside the top 20.

The only thing that really worries me about recruiting right now is that we still seem to be lagging behind Florida and Tennessee and those should be seen as our immediate competition. We've gotta try to stay with those 2 schools. But we 'beat' both of them on the trail last season so I think we're doing okay there.

Let’s get back to what a scared little lesbian Drink is in this thread and leave Can’t Coach Cal out of it

Kansas went on to win the national championship, Kentucky lost to St Pete.

I'd say we were fine, but at least you have that 18 point win.

I have no idea how Florida still has any traction.

But overall, I don't care if Drinkwitz was spotted scissoring with Richard Simmons while Cheryl Crow played in the background if they're getting results.

Mizzou can, and has, gone stone cold for 10 minute stretches.

No lead is safe.

But I REALLY wish we'd have put a better effort out there in that KU game. I mean Mizzou threw away their first possession of the game, Kansas was white hot from the floor to start the game and everyone just freaked the **** out.

Credit to Kansas for absolutely hammering us when we clearly weren't ready for prime time, but I don't think that game was truly representative of who MU can be. Mizzou has demonstrated genuine tournament chops several times this year.

The team that took on Kansas wouldn't have beat a good HS squad. That moment was just WAY too big for them.
