The Mizzou Game Discussion

[Feral]

I legitimately want to know the answer to this question:

Are A&M or Mizzou fans ever worried when they're trailing us in a game? We've led late in countless games against them but always pry defeat from the jaws of victory. Always.

Surely their mindset is basically "meh, we do this all the time, we'll win."

I want a quarterback that knows when to throw the ball and knows when to run the ball and when to not turn the ball over.

That's exactly what they think. Not kidding. Jimbo's play calling was always to throw long bombs to get back in the game late.

Sam has been at the lake since last weekend.  That blob in the booth was an imposter.

So much to look forward to.  Announcement of which 6-6 bowl we get to waste time on. Yuri announcing retention of great Sam Pittman.  List of folks opting out of bowl.  Rush of players to portal.  Decommits of recruits.

We are completely owned by a program that has no football history, average facilities, and one of the worst fanbases in terms of attendance, etc in major college football.

Just shameful.

Rutgers? Be more specific.

Don't worry, we are on our way.

But they have a waterfall in their stadium!!

Our fans need to face facts. Mizzou is a better program than we are. Perhaps a markedly better program.

Better history the last 20 years. 

Better recruiting footprint.

Better relative success in the SEC.

They fired Odom — an alum and former letterman - after a 6-6 season following 2 straight bowl seasons. Meanwhile we make excuses why we can't do that to Pittman because he's "one of us" (which is a breathtakingly stupid thing to say).

The fact that we look down our noses at them is pretty laughable to me.

Rutgers? Be more specific.

You just had to go there.

Mizzou has an edge about them.  Always pushing, ripping, shoving, and just generally out-toughing us.  We talk and flap our wings.

That is coaching.  I'd a whole lot rather be mean than mouthy, especially when we can't back it up.

Leading the country in fumbles is also on coaching

We used to be in 2011.

I wouldn't be so sure to label them as a bad fanbase. Mizzou has become huge in KC and STL. Their branding puts us to shame. Fucking tiger logos all over the state.

After those keeds had no idea how to defend a 2 point conversion out there to take it to 28-21 I was pretty much fucking done. Oh I know lets leave open their best receiver. Bold strategy.


They rush 3 and get solid pressure on Akili Smith Lite, we rush 3 and it's like 3 dead bodies kind of zombie walking OH and we give up a 15 yard cushion on every fucking defensive play. I'll wager that long QB run to take the lead we amazingly went man and Mizzou's coaching staff told their keeds to be looking for it.

We have to find a way to bring in better players. We don't want to spend in NIL. Changing coaches doesn't move the needle in recruiting like it used to. We need to hit home runs in the portal. I'm open to suggestions.

[HogglyWoggly]

Fuck Misery. Fucking snowstorm in November is another reason they don't belong in the SEC.

Start with a new coach, that's my suggestion.

Excitement buys NIL money, just look at Cal.

[Barton Fink]

Who is a realistic hire that would get you to spend money?

Also,  how do you know this stuff wouldn't do better with better talent? Why wait to hire a new coach and give hin a better chance to win?
