We have two things to look forward to this year:

1) The potential beginning of the Maty Mauk Era. Mauk represents the best chance for this program to get back to a level of respectability after horrendous QB play cost us multiple games last year.

2) The last year of the Gary Pinkel era. Pinkel's entrenched cronyism won't play in a conference this competitive, especially if he couples his abysmal gameday coaching with lackadaisical, worst-in-conference recruiting. Pinkel was the formerly adequate meal that has now turned into a four pound bowel obstruction. It's time to jam a Fleet's enema up our collective asses.

Here is the schedule. We dodge Alabama, LSU, and Arkansas in the west and the Non-con is decidedly weaker than years past.

8/31: Murray State
9/7: Toledo
9/21: @ Indiana
9/28: Arkansas State
10/5:@ Vanderbilt
10/12: @ Georgia
10/19:Florida
10/26: South Carolina
11/2:Tennessee
11/9: @ Kentucky
11/23: @ Ole Miss
11/30: aTm

Looks like 6-6. Undefeated in non-con, 2-6 in league play.

I will eventually update the OP with a list of high profile in-state recruits that decide to go elsewhere after a half-assed attempt to gain their services. The inevitable cavalcade of *** rejects, skeezers, skanks, and scalliwags we get will fill out the ranks.


Razors, cyanide capsules, and Jonestown Kool-Aid are available in the break room. Second door on the left.

Since every Mizzou thread eventually dies of AIDS, I recommend starting anti-retroviral therapy immediately. I believe Walgreens covers Express Scripts.

[Frazod]

That was wonderful.

[Mosbonian]

Anyone coming to Lexington next week?

The result was awesome, but get real.

Impressive win for Missouri. 339 rushing yards on 54 carries.

Yeesh.

Pinkel says James Franklin "practiced pretty good last week. We'll find out. I think he'll be very close next week" against Kentucky

@DavidCMorrison
Pinkel says backup DT Marvin Foster may have torn his tricep tendon during game. Will find out for sure later.

Pinkel says Mauk "started off a little shaky" but responded well.

[KcMizzou]

This experience is fantastic for Mauk. But if Franklin is healthy and ready, I want him back in ASAP.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Franklin needs to rest next week, IMO. We can use him in case of emergency, but only then. Two more weeks free of contact should do his shoulder a lot of good.

[Eleazar]

No reason to rush Franklin back for KY.

Eh, good point.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

The team just needs to come out next week with a mindset of controlling the LOS. Let the running game carry the team, because the last thing they need is Mauk chucking it 45 times when he has a sub 50% completion percentage and routinely makes terrible decisions with the ball. Just run it down their throats and use short passes.

[Captain Obvious]

It'd be too risky to play him against Kentucky. The only real positive to him playing would be shaking off the rust.

[KcMizzou]

It'd be nice though, to have a 100% Franklin. Just get this win, and he can shake off any rust in practice.

They did have some problems, but I'm not sure how that made my statement any less real. It was an outstanding defensive effort.
