20 years of coaching including D1. Now own a small business. Volunteer scientist for the US Fish and Wildlife Service, Paxutent Center, USGeological survey. I'm working on summiting a large sample of the Western Hemisphere's highest peaks. In the 48 states I've now been on top of 23 of Colorado and Utah's highest. Have also summited several peaks in Ecuador, Puerto Rico, and had a very comfortable night on the flank of an active volcano. Life is good. Never stop being an athlete/scholar. Always appreciate the endeavors of others to make the earth better appreciated and understood. I believe God Blesses us daily with uncountable miracles. I believe in prayer and gratitude. I think it is a great challenge of humanity to understand human suffering as well as our miraculous Blessings. Being human therefore is like being on one great team and having to train/work every day to perform our role.

If SDS is not enough fun it’s we the readers and commenters fault. Do some home work and shard what you find out right here One example: yes the Tiger Stadium is being remodeled, no we are no losing the Rock M Yea we are losing the most successful running back in my Missouri history. But we have tremendous talent following him. Can I also say that we have tremendous Divison II Football in Missouri and we should get out to those games and write here about the Cody Schrader’s we see there
Just NO, stop with the fake caution bologna. Even the NAIA can support and thrive with a gigantometric year end basketball tournament. It’s basketball, not wrestling, not football, not marathon running. You can also hula hoop every day with causing any damage to society!
It’s pathetic that college players can’t hit the 3 pointer 75% of the time, Shooting the basketball is the most under coached, over revered, skill in sports.
He is far from an automatic pledge getter against every SEC program right now and if he loses to Kiffin or Kellly, or Oklahoma, or anyone else he’ll be considered common as cottonfiwld dirt among SEC and Big 12 coaches right out of the year one gate!… but to be fair all those mentioned are at the same risk and mathematically a couple of them are sure to lose some games.
I don’t think he will beat Kiffin or Oklahoma or LSU or next year…. Maybe not aTm. If Missouri can replace 90% of Schrader’s yards they have a fair shot at winning the SEC
Take your small minds to the casino and count cards. Leave basketball to those who appreciate athletic contests. We know some of your gambling home-eees will be putting a big payday out there to change a spread or a win even.
On “travel”,,,, the bracket needs to be divided into 4 geographics W. NORTHEAST E. CENTEREAST S. SOUTHEAST T each of the regions needs to have a seeded bracket. That bracket could either be “no travel for Auburn till the region-final-two meet at one neutral site OR it could be all played at one venue near the geographic center of each of the four venues. Of course the final four would be played at a neutral venue and everybody travels there. The West travel distance might suggest the whole bracket gets played in one site Utah or Colorado. Needless to say, if home games are the plan, it wouldn’t be the best but the visitors would get 2-3 days to sell half the tickets. The map therefore keeps everyone on a half day flight as worst case scenario. Even motor coach would be less than a full day travel. The plan keeps students close to classrooms best. Let’s see if anyone can improve this plan and why?
Florida State’s move will be to recruit the state prison system again. Why does anyone in the Big 12, old PAC, ACC, old SWC, Mountain West, or anyone else have to settle for less than an equal share per round? It’s the come all challengers that makes the event a big exciting contest by contest. One flaw in this is going to be post season injuries and loss of revenue next year resulting.
Secret #1, wear the opponent out with a roster of energetic defenders. Secret #2 shooting is easy to teach once you strength train the whole shooting movement. Accuracy comes from strength, concentration, understanding the whole shooting body movement, and vision. Team shooting percentage should be universally high every year. It doesn’t happen because college coaches and players generally are not dedicated to the proven process. It’s impossible to be accurate when you are not strong and technically true. And if you are it’s impossible to miss. Every missed shot has a flaw and at practice every player can learn what theirs is., Fitness on offense means a whole game of accurate shooting.
Congratulations to both teams ( but it’s still not worth wearing those uniforms )
He has to get the interception rate down and the yards per catch up….. maybe the play book will help but you can’t throw an int every other game and if you are only getting 8 yards per catch you shouldn’t be getting intercepted more than about twice a season tops
On the Saban congress state of the NCAA FOOTBALL union address: We have an NFL. Stop thinking college football is the NFL because more people watch it !!!!! TV viewership is the source of the money. TV viewers and college tickets buyers are NOT paying for football coaching-playing state of the art. They are paying to see a football team of college students (that happens to have a few future professionals embedded) play against other COLLEGES with the same. There is zero-nada-none- nonexistent money here without all 80 players on these college rosters. That is the name image and likeness Nick Saban, in his senility, forgot to remind us of. Any NIL movie star who forgets about that can go directly to the next draft pick declaration, pass go, and collect his Monopoly money. If they don’t want to do that? Shut up and be a team member. College educations are worth a lot of money. College scholarships are worth a lot of money. When you go to class and improve your brain, that is your college NIL. Class dismissed !!!!!
There wouldn’t be a legitimate complaint about sustainable culture and immigration if our society had shown they were capable of logical thinking and planning. So while we are getting control of our borders we also need to start expelling unsustainable citizens and their reproduction habits.
Classic Jimbo Fisher lack of scrutiny and control. Look at his whole career. aTm wTf
It’s almost an un noticed fact, Cody Schrader was the player of the year for three reasons 1. Drinkwitz gave him the ball, 2. Missouri’’s offensive line was strong enough to put defenders on their heels even if not to put them on their tails. 3. Cody Schrader was fine tuning his point of contact to the last millisecond. Schrader is gone, but maybe his replacements can watch film. And I expect at least s fit an Oline this year!
It’s better to base the signing” rule structure on 1) what provides academic choices that fit, then 2) what lets an athlete get into a basketball program that has the least competition in his tactical position. Finally 3) it does not make sense for any program to have too many signees in the same graduating class (maybe by age of ), but more likely by remaining seasons of eligibility.x position players. If an athlete is not seeing game experience the rules should allow him to change programs after a reasonable underclassman backup role of semesters. Coaches that lose position players should get the right to replace them. Available position players names and contact information should be in a data base somewhere. I know the rule already address some of these factors to a point, but maybe not all adequately.
The game of basketball was made for “play it as much as people will watch it”. So few programs should turn down a chance to be Cinderella! I used to go watch the NAIA tournament live every year in KC. Even the losers’ bracket was great! Congrats to every win, and maybe the later the success the more praise to the team that held out that desire to make that run.
Even cave men had super effective censorship of people who stunk up their cave walls. Not SDS I guess
The SEC was a lot deeper than the big 10. And deeper than Washington’s schedule also. I think it only seemed to some fans like Alabama and Georgia were a little out of sync but a game like Missouri’s near shut out of Ohio State shows that the SEC was still above most, at the top, or at least deepest in college ball 2023-4. And this bottle neck at the very top was not that unpredictable, And I think recruits are going to keep the bottle neck at the top, thank you NIL. Saban retired just when college coaching staffs were reaching an all time high in program management challenges. From my view, I see less common staff perfection but more common freedom for talented groups of players/coaches to choose to find each other in more college yearly snapshots. It’s a fun time in college ball. The SEC will stay at or near the top, all our coaching staffs will have to bring a top prep and plan to their bowlgames AND I think the big middle of the SEC coaching staffs are highly underrated
The media has zero chance to figure out if Arkansas can be good next year when they can’t figure out LSU and Missouri are two of the top bowl opponents of last bowl season. Ha Ha Ohio State the favorite of the Cortonbowl.
Read my new book, “How to escape the sportswriters with the most ridiculous baiting stories
I’m not seeing the same doom and gloom the media sees here. And Petrino is probably a net zero in this. Arkansas was SELF limiting last year, that happens some times when players get too much of a sense of somebody else will break out, or a coaching staff doesn’t challenge them enough. Opponents love it when their opponents gets one dimensional.
A playoff where some teams get a pass in the first round is not a playoff. This has to be 2 or 4 or 8 teams. Maybe in some years but not all 16 teams. No free passes into the 2nd round.
Actually because of his past station, he’s only entitled to say supportive things and smile
This game is an odd question mark for what I’m going to call fun factor vs disgust factor. The rule book ignoring Oklahoma was famous for, everyone can now practice and Missouri will do some of it? It’s just my remote judgement but Missouri probably has a better coaching staff, reserving judgement till we see how each staff actually manages the opponents playbook. One more day of growth and development for the Drinkwitz’s, who are probably a little ahead of what I see in the Sark-Casium s. In fact, without fregard for roster This is likely to be Drinks best prep year yet and he should be showing even more of a young head coaches learning curve, With Oklahoma’s situation I’m only going to say here today Drink has the potential to out flank them tactically probably close match up in tech coaching where each staff is still short of peak some, Drink is way ahead of Sark in the psych realm just from a distance judgement and the fitness realm may or may not be decided by the head coaches.
Cody Schrader will be an NFL star for the first lucky franchise to secure his services.
And Missouri getting the Sooners first year and maybe every year is a ticket seller partly because Missouri has been program building for years while the Sooner were not even program coasting
