But that’s not playing bad. That’s a hard win against a tough team. There’s a difference

Cause it’s Mizzou

That ain’t just Drink. That’s been the Mizzou way forever.

Before today I wouldn’t have said our OC is competent, especially this season. Our offense has looked flat and one dimensional and never really gotten going. They’ve thrown away a lot of games in which our defense kept us close. It was good to see our offense come together today though. Hopefully this is a new chapter and not just lightening in a bottle. I hate that it had to be against y’all though. I wish you and Beamer nothing but the best 364 days out of the year. I like him. He seems like a cool guy. I would’ve much rather it happened against Auburn… or Georgia… or Florida.

Roll Wave! Rank Tulane!

Helluva turn around the defense has had from last year to this. Brady cook needs to be benched and Drinkwitz HAS to get an OC.

And yeah. I hate that we feel the need to resort to bs plays. We’re clearly outclassing La Tech, let’s play like it. Not like some G5 team trying to trick their opponents into giving up yardage.

Come down to the Ozarks. We got nothing but tall cliffs with hard rocks at the bottom

He’s still on the hot seat with seven wins. He (probably) won’t get fired for a 7-6 season, but he would HAVE to do better season to avoid getting the axe.

Mizzou’s been in a conference with TexASS more recently than Arkie has. We’re well aware of their attitude.

Yeah, but look how long it took stoops to set things up at Kentucky. He went through separate OC’s in three years. I’m not saying that Drink is necessarily that guy, but it can take time to rebuild a program.

I say that jokingly though. I know my beloved tigers haven’t come anything close to that but a couple times in the past two decades and before that it has to date back to the 60’s.

Which funny, cause if that’s the case, then Georgia hasn’t been successful this millennia

Yeah, but in order to come out as a one loss team from the B1G, Ohio State will have to beat Michigan and Michigan State, both pretty good teams this year, and then win their conference, which has had some pretty solid competition. So they lost their home opener? That happens. It’s early season. It should certainly be accounted for, but I really don’t see it as a deal breaker. OSU will have lost to a solid program that would go on to win their own conference early in the season and then bounced back and ran the table against a ranked Penn St, Michigan, and Michigan St and then win their conference. Oregon will have one solid win early in the season, dropped a game against a nobody, and then won out in a pretty mediocre conference. Come December, which team sounds better to you?

I’d like Steele the most

We hired an extremely competent OC and recruiter with practically zero P5 or HC experience to rebuild a team in the toughest conference in college football. I still like the hire. I think he’ll take his lumps early on then get things figured in a couple years. And once he gets those things figured out I think he’ll be an excellent HC. But until then, he should’ve surrounded himself with coordinators and position coaches with experience, competence, and a track record with success, especially in the SEC. Instead he decided to call all his own plays and hire a DC with a suspect history.

Great! A hire that has coaching experience during the Bielema era at Arkansas and then at Illinois

I’m pretty sure he still owns a golf course in the area

Except without the natty part

100%. I never really liked the hire and he’s done nothing but confirm my suspicion. P

Yeah, I read that and cringed.

Determination is great and all, but, to continue your analogy, like a player, a coach has to have more than just a good work ethic. I can go out to the Chief’s practice tomorrow and be the only guy giving 120%. I’m still gonna be the worst player on the field. It takes skill to be successful.

That was a much closer game than I was expecting. Roll Wave! (It’s my alma mater)

It’s really not that difficult to figure out. Even though Riley, Mullen, Leach and Drinkwitz are the head coaches, they’re also the play callers. They act as their own OC’s. Jimbo and Kiffin don’t

No. Odom is one of the best DC’s in the game and I hope he gets all the recognition he deserves for that. He was a pretty terrible head coach though.

Lmao. Look at a voting map of South Carolina and then Missouri in the last couple elections.

aTm, Mizz, and Arky are all opposed to Texas in the conference cause they’ve all played in conferences with Texas before and intentionally left those conferences because of Texas.

Amen @whatthefunkk. As someone that lives in the southern part of the state, I “fit in” much more with people from Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, etc. My mom and all her family is from Ohio. They’re good folks and all, but it’s just culturally a different place. The Midwest parts of Missouri are B12 Midwest, not B1G Midwest. There isn’t a conference game I wouldn’t go to right now. I think I’d rather stay at home than go to a game in Minnesota, Pennsylvania, or wherever Rutgers is.

Lol. I’m pretty sure we already pose a threat to Kentucky, South Carolina, and Tennessee and are probably favored to beat at least the latter two teams, with Kentucky being a toss up to most people. I’m not some chest thumper that thinks Mizzou is anything more than it is, but to pretend we’re consistently at the bottom of the East is laughable.

That was my largest problem with Pinkel. He was an excellent coach, but a terrible recruiter.
