Mizzou All Day

Raised in Macon, MO about an hour north of CoMo. All we had was Mizzou to respresent us, so I'm a lifelong fan. The STL & KC folks have their collegiate and Pro teams, but for me the Tigers are the only true statewide flagship institution. Never attended MU, but played NG at Division III National Champion, Quincy University back in 1992-3. I finished my collegiate days at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Ga. Since then I've lived all around Mid-Missouri including Jeff City, Fulton and CoMo; New Orleans, LA and currently St. Louis. I'm happy that we moved to the SEC, now my buddies down south have to consider us when start talkin football.

Yep how to play mistake free ball in the final 5 minutes will be Cooks biggest lesson this off-season
Just watched the Class 7A Georgia Championship highlights of Garcia VS Horn and I gotta say that Garcia looked better as a QB. His feet and arm were clearly advanced over Horn's. Sam made some good throws and plays, but he was much more flat footed than Garcia in the highlights. Passing: Grayson – Garcia 10-18-1, 136. Collins Hill – Horn 32-49-2, 243. I like this three-way QB competition and look forward to the best player winning out.
So true! I was confident the DL would play much better because of the quality transfers we brought in and the fact we have two DL coaches for the DE & DT positions. I've always felt our secondary was solid w JC, KAD, and Ennis. My question was the LBs coming into the season. Bailey developed the old school way and it paid off for him these past two seasons. Ty'Ron Hopper was the MVP of this defense and the catalyst for overall success.
The entire country saw him provoking a few verbal and physical scuffles before the Mizzou game. I've paid attention to his attitude and demeanor ever since..... Curious if that was rare or if that was the norm for him? Good luck to him and his NFL career, this kid is a FORCE!
This Missouri fan has been waiting for a decade to play those idoits and low and behold ku puts together a bowl team. This is perfect alignment and I'll be very P.O'd. if this opportunithy is botched. Does Mizzou need the beakers for anything football related, no. But Drinkwitz and the AD do, in order to garner some absolute good will, galvanize the fans and keep the donations rolling. Those two are the new kids on the Como block. Dennis Gates gets the PR boost, simply by game being scheduled next week. The football gods delivered this mediocre 6-6 team a chance to maximize our brand nationally simply by playing our rival since the civl war. Ten years of missed coverage and countless storylines would have came out of this game. What a wasted PR branding chance regardless of the outcome. PS. Any MU fan who defends the administration with all these wimpy and pathetic reasons to not clash with ku, deserves every bit of embarresment and mocking from every other fanbase.
We won each of two main matchups.... Strength (Arky O) vs Strength (our D) and weakness (Arkys D) vs weakness (our O). I knew Barry was gonna let us pass the ball, his secondaries are historically a sieve. Congratulations to the players and the staff!
Credit the skill players of UTs offense, starting with the QB and WRS. That tandem is truly elite on this collegiate level. We had zero answers, and I thought we could hold TN to the 30s. When Heupal was our OC, we didn't have that level of skill in those positions.. Lock had a cannon but not the QB intellect. We had one WR (Hall) who could beat defenses. The rest were so so. We loved what Heupal had to bring to the table, but sadly we didn't get the full menu that his scheme has to offer. Hendon Hooker is the real MVP of this Heupal experiment. I was skeptical at first, but UT hit a home run with this hire.
"It seemed as if even the thought of Georgia’s pass rush was getting into Hooker’s head. He missed Jalin Hyatt wide open in the 1st quarter, Bru McCoy and Princeton Fant in the 2nd half and a few more shorter-yardage throws throughout. The first 3 all had varying chances of scoring." Serious point here. Im not sure Hooker has faced that type of pass rush all season. I've been waiting to see how he performs under duress. TY Kirby and Will for the blueprint. Im not saying we will win, but I fully expect our Defense to hold TN under their points/game avg by creating our own havoc along the way.
Welp, no matter all the drama surrounding our program both optimistic or pessimistic, it's gonna boil down to Drinkwitz and his inept offense and Barry Odom and his inept defense.... imagaine that.
Bro get over it, we're better than USCjr. Its been 4 years straight, was Satterfield calling plays on the previous staff when we beat y'all? Humble yourself and stop hiding behind your OC. Your problem is you believe ther rat poison, that the Gamecocks are head and shoulders better than MIzzou ,year after year. That is simply a false premise.
Finally a game we can be proud of. The pieces came together and we won the right way! Toughness, execution and determination! Kudos to Drink being creative and forcing their D to play us honest w WR & QB runs. Great job by the offense for playing a clean game too. This Defense pulled out some looks and packages I haven't seen before and I like what I saw. We simply need the offence to keep playing complimentary to our team strength, our Defense and I like our chances going forward.
We need a CEO type of coach not one who still dabbles as part time OC and part time HC. Im about 90% finished with this Drinkwitz experiment. However for as bad as the offense and special teams played. We can absolutely say that our Defense is back. Our secondary was tested giving up 5.4 yd/pass on 45 attempts with 22 completions. We have horses on all three levels of the defense. Congrats to coach Baker and everyone on D.
I agree! Mizzou Defense beat everything on the field.
I see you Tennessee! Congratulations on the win, it was a clean kill! No excuses, you guys won it out right! Neyland was rocking
This is regression to the mean. Remember Arky was top heavy with upper classmen last year, mainly 5th and 6th year Seniors. Thats not the case so much this year and the lack of experience is shown. Like Drink, Pittman is just now rolling his recruits on to the field. Also Odom played LB so he will always have outstanding LB play to form a solid front 7. His secondaries are very suspect without a bonafide secondary coach to take lead of that unit. Barry either drops 8 or goes 1 on 1 and not much in between. That's his only limitation as a DC and smart OCs know this.
Told you ! And we would have won the game outright if we didn't beat ourselves w penalties. Good showing by Mizzou, now we need the same intensity and physicality the rest of the way. We will improve!
I have a sneaky eeriy good feeling about this UGA game. We are definatly covering again this year, as we consistenly do against them! Lets go Tigers!
This list is suspect. Brady Cook has the SECs top yardage WR in Lovett, and is still last? No sir.....
Cue the Dennis Green "We let em off the hook" meme. Also the spider man pointing at spider man. Wow
Come on Rod, really? Have you dove into their roster? How many upgrades actually joined the team? What about the depth? If you think UF is the 2nd best , and if that's the case then the rest of the East is totally incompetent with JV players. Don't get me wrong the gators has potential but Florida can have a tenured coach or a brand new and the press is gonna give them at 1st or 2nd annually. On namesake alone. As a matter of fact can someone name a time UF was picked below third in the East ?
And yet UF is picked to compete for 2nd in the East. Not this year, signed UK, UT, USC & Mizzou.
1. The QB battle is the main concern for this team. We need a QB that allows Drink to utilize the entire playbook. We truly don't know what is the ceiling for his Offensive Scheme. We haven't seen his offensive prowess consisntently enough. Perhaps with Hamden coaching the QBs, Drink can see the offense as a crew chief and not the driver. 2. Luther will be fine, he will flash this freshman year like most 5 Stars do. He'll learn from his mistakes and will adjust to SEC defenses as the year progresses. 3. The Run Defense: Yesterday, I looked at the roster from the team website and filtered it by positions. To be honest, I feel much more confident in this years DL than last year. We made a lot of noise on the defensive side in the transfer portal and we picked up 3 above average experienced transfers from OK State, Auburn and NC in that position group. We also have to two coaches, one to teach interior play and one for the Ends. Im confident in a drastic improvement from last year. 4. The play calling must be better. But I've kinda felt like Drink was somewhat handicapped by the lack of caliber of SEC ready athletes on the O. We haven't seen a lot of consistent vertical passing to date. Without that, I don't care who you are as a coach, you are limited. 5. UK- is the ultimate tell tell for our football success. Until we get back to winning against them, nothing else will happen. Kudos to Stoops on building a formidable program. In ten seasons we are 4-6 against UK. The other three we've been .500 against at 5-5. And irony of those three teams is that, each of them has suffered coaching turnovers similar to Mizzou. And each of us are attempting to play catch up to UGA and UK. We gotta go 2-2 or better against these four to claim any true growth under Drinkwitz. I'm as excited as ever for this year's team, we have potential but all the proven pieces are not on the roster yet. I see the Defense taking a major step forward as we have bolstered the DL, LBs and DBs in the transfer portal. Plus we have recruited quality depth as well. ala Marquise Gracial. The big question marks will be the QB and WRs again on offense.
Mark the date and time of this video. This video was out of character for coach. Nobody has adapted ON THE FIELD better that than Saban. But the new off the field climate of college football has him and other coaches clamoring for clarity and enforcement. I suspect that the current lawlessness and toothless ways of the NIL, Transfer Portal, etc of the NCAA is going to expedite Saban's retirement plans. That's why he along with the Commissioner are suggesting Anti-Trust Protection for the NCAA. The GOAT is an orderly man, and chaos is not his bag. If the NCAA cannot be a bedrock for rules, regulations, and enforcement, I can't see Nick wanting to navigate through murkiness much longer.
Whatever the NIL amountl was for, it was worth it in the first 24 hours. Jackson State University immediatly earned that back in media branding. Just look how many people are talking about this from print media to youtube. Thanks to this breaking news, we all know what the JSU logo looks like (if you didn't know already). From an advertising standpont this was money well spent. Barstool Was already doing business with Primetime and his content before signing day, so they will get their $ back from the all stories and content this team, coach, and top ranked player has to offer. Good investment. Prime Time wins because he just scored a pick 6 on his alma mater. Just kidding. But from day one, he's wanted to raise the profile of HBCUs, check that off the list. Plus he's back in the "primetime of conversation", literally. And Travis Hunter Jr wins because he has a little "insurance" money up front, in case NFL teams frown upon him for competing against lesser competition. He will still get to the league but will it be the first round where the big money is at? The NIL deal helps to balances that equation. You can't blame this young adolescent, JSU, Coach Prime or Barstool in no way, shape or form for taking advantage of the rules. This was a phenomenal business move for all parties involved.
We they say "act like you have been there before". Bama is gonna Bama..... especially under the big lights in Atlanta. This game was a mental game and the Tide has been there and done that time and time again. I had a feeling this was gonna happen. The Dawgs have nothing to be ashamed of. Every team in the SEC is light years behind Bama in regards to Championship mentality and pedigree. Great effort all year from UGA, better win from the Sabanites.
