Thanks for the heads up on this Tiger transfer in. Already a good defense and maybe even better now?

But there is no true conference champion of any league that fails to play a. complete round robin anyway!

Some golden child is going to become second, third, or fourth place bout every year and their fans will be humorously whiney

1. Who thinks the NCAA will let every program buy unlimited players forever? 2. Who thinks that programs who mix paid players with unpaid players will be happy championship atmospheres every year, all year long. 3. The new normal is pay but pretend you don’t pay as much as possible 4 Oh sure, Kelly’s boosters won’t pay players in the State of Louisiana, ha ha

Paul, please explain how athletes who are entitled to money from tickets and television adds and billboard ads and everything else you can think of…. are going to be hauled into court and forced to split up the unpaid bills every college and conference has for creating the competition framework for a dozen sports teams, men and women? Once you figure that out you can start cutting those checks. Ya if you are entitled to profit you are sure as h responsible for losses (recognize the communist socialist disconnect in this purposeful lack of responsibility attitude? This is why America is great and a lot of other systems of “free money for everyone”, look like low rent bs.

I’m curious about South Carolina this year? Do they go up again in rank with this tested coaching staff?, and the sheer numbers of East coast high school grads?

He joining a defense that held Ohio State (Michigan’s rival) to one long field goal in 60 minutes of national spotlight football. Anyone who earns a spot in this lineup has taken a big leap in their personal resume and team-player reputation. Go Tigers, Go D2 Truman Bulldogs, go UofCentral Missouri Mules. And go Northwest Missouri State Bearcats. With all these big time National and Conferences Champs to watch on Saturday how are we supposed to get our own Saturday fitness fun scheduled?

On Missouri, they went to two consecutive league champ games when they came in with the Pinkel system. So let’s be real here, this was a return, not a first sign of program goal reaching. The common ground here is capable understaff with reasonable head coaching work, now the significant part is Drinkwitz should have an upside we have not seen yet and Missouri has a fair share of home state players. Also this year shows that Missouri high school players know enough Mizzou history to know that dreams can come true at this home program.

To understand Schrader, his success at Truman State, his conquest of the SEC (among the best running back defenders in college football), and predict his near future as an NFL running back you have to have been a coach practiced at watching film. If you have done this in your career you will see several important trends: 1. Schrader is a team man and his teammates like him and respect him. 2. Schrader is not a quitter, in fact he is the inspirational opposite of a quitter and this is dynamite for any roster. 3. Schrader has a unique physical ability to accelerate into the “scrum” AND at the same time hit the most vulnerable micro-soft spot. For example he can read a defender whose hands are tied up even if he is not moved out of the way and exploit a place other backs can’t. Or he can find a micro seam in a scrum and accelerate into that seam for 3 more yards. And there’s more to Schrader than that even. Not only is he going to make it in the NFL but the league will welcome him and respect him. Yes running backs have a short life in the NFL, but Schrader will probably defy that law of football physics. Because smart works almost everywhere, and the NFL is no exception.

Lots of good college quarterbacks never get a chance to be number one on an NFL roster. If he gets contact and starts his working life as an NFL pro maybe his body will thank him if he never takes an NFL sack.

No more fixed secret recruiting deals for Oklahoma and Texas, this is going to be fun!!

Couldn’t have said it better. Also, One of the jobs an OC has is being 100% ready with the playbook. In order for the number 2 quarterback to fail, his playbook has to be unready. If you are a QB better than Missouri’s #2, on paper, why wouldn’t you go start somewhere….. In fact this current Missouri #2 sure has past roster rank to support where he’s standing now! AND probably starting elsewhere

But not to steal thunder from the perimeter positions, no matter how many linemen or second line players they use. Logically the corner space has the same job of not giving up 3 yards per snap

All of these QBs are riding a surfboard with an O line supporting it every inch of the way. The order of best stats will probably be a direct reflection of the O lines” ability to deflect the defense of the week! I personally am WAY MORE impressed with Missouri’s O line than 7th place in the SEC. Give us the stats on O line graduation 2024?

I imagine every Big 12 SID is having a big laugh about not getting excessive press releases from Norman and Austin

1st I’m most interested in Cody Schrader getting top blocking NFL line in front of him. Next I want to see how Cook and his new receivers team up with Burden and other known stars. I hope the media do a better job of letting us know what combo of linemen we have in the game on eveysnap, we just don’t have screens big enough to see that

Can any running back at Missouri / or anywhere in the SEC touch Cody when September arrives?

Ohio State is still trying to figure out which Missouri Tiger held them to 3 points.

It’s a system where sports writers who can’t even do a push up are trying to tell real athletes , real coaches, and real fans who know how to stay in top physical shape “what programs can play football. Never fails to crack me up every year.

I don’t know if Schrader can be fully replaced??? , but Cook’s arm is way under used and way under celebrated… and we have the potential star power at OL so the Miissouri offense future is so bright .. I have to wear shades

Missouri’s Cody Schrader seems impossible to replace but ?are we seeing the Missouri O-Line getting ready for another big year of rushing attack? I’d say for sure Missouri has a new receiver threat!

After reading this, it makes me want to read the statistic 2023-2024 ratio of running to passing plays VS. spring game 2024 ratio of running plays to passing plays. ALSO RANK OF SEC PROGRAMS IN PASSING YARDAGE GAINED 2023~2024. ??????????????

?

My opinion. This is college football so Missouri is not the only program to have memorable talent at quarterback and running back. Missouri also has a history of noteworthy coaching staffs. The only question here is “will they be able to step into the realm of the top 1-4 college game products? Lots of other programs are hoping to do this. We are most familiar with LSU and OMiss and Kansas State and a lot more. Fans might never know what decides this because recruiting, training, and retaining a roster is 24/7/365 story.

I meant to follow this up with the possibility that these boosters ?MIGHT already be paying these players per game or “only if they are healthy”, “eligible”, “any number of contract details”….. and to me, this is just one more characteristic of a game that is even less college football like. I don’t see how this makes college football a better product to watch?, instead it just moves it closer to the NFL part of our brain. But I only watch the NFL playoffs…. I skip the regular season!

Just because sportswriters haven’t paid enough attention to women’s basketball doesn’t mean nobody else has. I can show you some footage of a junior college superstar at Louisburg, NC where an amazing guard not only dominated the court but also saved the lives of three children drowning in the Tar River. Life is big. Lots of people do big things. But thanks for doing a little more of the media job of noticing it all

If you have receivers who can’t seperate you are going to throw more interceptions. But lots of interceptions are the fault of the QB, or the playbook, or the receiver coaching, or the timing of a play call.

Cook is more mobile than Lock was…. more deceptive than Lock, way better running the football. Better with the short passing game. And can do more with various kinds of receivers.

Missouri only needs to do one general thing well for the next 5 months to win the SEC and the National Championship. That generalized thing is to have planned and execute every training minute more efficiently and more practically that the other 138 NCAA Div. 1 programs. The National Championship is within reach, take it. Missouri prospective runningbacks watch Schrader film.

Congratulations on a good basketball season and a good post season tournament. Thanks for representing the SEC well. Anyone who wants to b about Tennessee’s season, tournament, or last game is just plain moronic.
