I actually forgot every year that Mizzou is in the SEC


You're stupid. We got it. Why keep reminding everyone?

There’s a reason LSU, FL, PSU all viewed Drink as a viable option.


Are you sure? Because these fricks on a message board seem to know a helluva lot more than the people who live it every day and are paid millions to acquire the right coaches.

Happy Thanksgiving all!

The reality:
1. We’re not going to win with Zollers at QB
2. We’re not going to win with Pribula at QB

So what I would prefer is #1. Get the kid some more battle scars from a great SEC defense from which he can grow.

Frankly, after the cupcake part of our schedule I saw nothing from Pribula that impressed me. 2025 is either 9-3 or 8-4. Who cares? Let’s invest in the future! Of course with a HC one foot out the door who knows what the future is.

No disrespect to our outstanding D, but ya gotta score at least a few points to win!

No disrespect to our outstanding RB room, but OU will be lying in wait against the run!
Classic OU responses.

Half are saying:

What happened just last year doesn’t matter

The other half are saying:

We used to beat you regularly in the ancient past so that matters

:lol: :lol: :lol:
W/r/t tailgating, walking down the road between Lots N and M (refer to previously posted map) and venturing into those lots may give you the best opportunity to interact with Mizzou fans and snag a drink or two. I park in Lot K and drive that road every game. Always plenty of activity!
Regarding collectives, I just don't get how they operate going forward. At one point the CSC essentially outlawed collectives for failing to meet the "valid business purpose" test. Challenged, they reached a settlement allowing collective NIL payments as long as the athlete is promoting "for profit" goods or services to the public.

So in practice...I, an individual donor, wish to contribute a measly $100 to a collective that contracts with athletes attending my school. The athlete then must promote or provide for profit goods or services. I see how this might work out if I was a business owner and the athlete agreed to tweet positive things about my business. But I don't own a business. What "for profit" activity is the athlete performing for ME for my $100 contribution?

Or do collectives no longer solicit or accept contributions from individuals like me?

Go look at recruiting rankings and it's basically the same as always. Vandy has about the same rankings as 2015. So do schools like Arkansas who is much worse than Vandy right now. Arkansas is about a 22ish ranked class most year, and Vandy around 40-50.


But are you taking into consideration portal rankings which arguably have a greater immediate impact on improving a team?

Someone mentioned Ole Miss and Mizzou harping on this. Well, in 2024 Ole Miss had the #1 transfer ranking per 24/7 and Mizzou #13. For 2025, Ole Miss was #4 and Mizzou #7. You keep that up and you can elevate a team pretty quick.

Can’t really explain Vandy’s improvement tho. They were #39 and #36 respectively in the two years, or pretty close to their usual recruiting rankings.
quote:

Mizzou posters keep assuring me that Zollers is actually better than Pribula. I didn't actually watch him play after Pribula went down, so I don't know.


Sample size is WAY too small to make that determination.

The ironic thing, considering the theme of this thread, is I thought he looked much more confident and comfortable in the huddle and during the snap count than Pribula. The eye thing is interesting, but I don’t think it was fear!
quote:

The stars seemed aligned in A&M’s favor.


I’m not expecting a win, but I will be there nonetheless.

Finding a bright spot, I’ll be looking forward to what the kid can do. He’s our future supposedly.
quote:

Drink will back out once he sees the negative reaction the fans would have if he were announced


Grow up :lol: This is big boy business! Drink ain’t scouring message boards to see if people like him! He’s scouring contract provisions!
Don’t understand what you think is not a “heavyweight tilt” about the game. A top ten team with a shot at the CFP versus a fifteenth ranked team with similar aspirations, the loser of which is essentially eliminated from consideration.

Your bias exposes your lack of understanding about what constitutes a good college football matchup and by extension your understanding of college football in general.

If it hurts your feelings less, focus on the fact that the text doesn’t say the TEAMS are heavyweights, it says the MATCHUP has a “heavyweight tilt”, which in fact it does.
IF we beat Vandy and IF we go 10-2, one of those final wins needs to be TAMU to make the playoffs. Beating Vandy and OU but losing to A&M won’t get MU in the CFP with a crowded SEC 10-2 field.

Tell us you don’t have a clue about the business case for the addition without telling us.

45-2 in all sports OU vs Missouri. Missouri cant talk smack


Random and quite odd!

I have to admit tho I’m intrigued about which brain cell synapse caused you to find this imperative to share. :dunno:
Losing close against a good team means NOTHING. Look at the 2022 game against UGA. Led the #1 team for most of the game. Finished 6-7.

Not saying we can’t still beat some decent teams, only saying you gotta start doing it! We still know nothing about what this team can do!

Pribula…anytime the camera went tight on him you could see it in his eyes!

Grew to like Cook after a rough start. Put his heart and soul into every game, but I always viewed him as kinda a bridge to that elite QB that was going to take MU even further. It appears we are still looking.

Corollary…MU deficient in QB development?

Mizzou can’t beat ranked teams. End of story.


Drinkwitz is 5-5 against ranked opposition since 2023, which gives him as many or more wins against ranked foes in that span than Lane Kiffin (4-3), Brent Venables (3-6), Brian Kelly (3-7), Billy Napier (4-11), and Josh Heupel (4-6), among others. That’s a rough data point for the “Drink doesn’t win big games” crowd.

Doesn’t really seem like the end of the story.
Ain't nothing wrong with "dog people" only stupid dog people.

My two consecutive yellow labs Hunter and Stryker were a joy in my life. Preferred their company to a number of humans.

Actually, I got a problem with people who don't like dogs!
Hey, bet the house if you’re feeling it. Just not sure the relevance of a 2012 game in your decision making. Maybe 2024, but even then, a lot of different personnel on both sides.
Clearly, this deserves its own thread, witty title and all.

Thanks for posting!
