I would play my son in madden. I would choose a dynasty team with Payton or sanders and run same few plays. My son would mix things up. He usually won. Feel like Kirby is like me playing Madden.

Solid but not stellar class. Curious how portal period plays out. Seems like drink always signed a few key players after spring and dust settled. January will be very telling about our NIL, Drinks reputation especially with offensive skill players. A lot of pressure to replace multiple positions in a condensed window.

It’s like stock market. Do you gamble $10 on unproven company or buy later at $100. As far as Drink, I’m convinced if he had a better showing vs ATM or OU we would have a new coach. Hope he signed extension because he is committed to Mizzou, rather than his agent salvaging what he could when his demand dropped off.

I understand your point and agree regarding line players. Skill positions still need to be a priority. #1 for instance.

Admittedly I have an average understanding of x and o’s. Your comment about a phone booth made me wonder why we don’t use wider splits on OL. Not Pinkel level, but wide enough to give QB little more time with the edge rush and more room to operate. Won’t work with their running scheme?

ABSOLUTELY NOT ON PETRINO. I wouldn’t want Petrino anywhere near the program.

I get extending Drink and possibly a salary increase. Spend a $1 to save $2 long term. Not the time to be searching for a coach and then overpaying because of limited supply and greater demand. I gave Drink benefit of the doubt on his coaching because I thought he was bought into the plan at Mizzou. No more. He better “SHOW ME” next season if he’s going to play this game.

7-5 or 8-4 for Mizzou. Slightly different bowl game with multiple players sitting out. Last game of season, on a holiday weekend playing a 2 win team is a little hard to be excited about. Move Arkansas game to earlier in the schedule.

I live 20-30 minutes away and have only attended once. My son wanted to see Drew Lock.

Horrible game to end the season. Arkansas is usually under .500. No one has any passion, interest playing Arkansas. Nothing really to gain or lose for Mizzou. Such a depressing way to end the season.

I love Chase. Great player, representative for Mizzou. He obviously knows football and players could benefit from his knowledge. But he’s never coached. It’s one thing to know what to do and another to explain how to know what to do. If he was serious about coaching, I would find a spot on the staff immediately. No way I would hire him as an OC or HC with no experience. QB coach might be interesting.

If Drink had come out immediately dismissing all rumors, I would look at him and this season a little differently. Loyalty goes along ways. Similar with players.

His actions, or lack of, reminds me it’s a business. Time for him to deliver an ROI. Same for players.
At this point in his career, I think he is very self aware of his strengths and weaknesses. X and O’s aren’t a strength. Recruiting, promoting a brand, navigating the administrative duties a strength. I believe he realizes the only way he can win at the next level is with a top level NIL, regardless of the school. He needs to over achieve in recruiting to compensate for coaching.
How many times have we seen a QB with a high ankle sprain be successful after a few weeks? Pribula had a dislocated ankle. Drink better not be considering this and focus on Zollers.
Hate that ole miss fans have to go through this every year. Something needs to be done with the way coaching contracts are structured. If they suck and fired they get a huge payday. If they win, they are poached and get a bigger payday. Wall Street and coaching, only professions you can get a big payday even if you suck.
I’m not an ole miss fan but how Kiffin is handling situation is bullsh**. You are either in or you are out. Ole miss has treated him well and he should return the favor by not dragging out his decision. He needs to check his ego and announce his decision.
Drink has gotten everything he’s asked for and is still bitching. His recruiting is outstanding but his coaching sucks. Who would you take pre NIL, drink or Pinkel? Pinkel would run circles around him in game.

Drink needs to nut up and win some meaningful games or move on. His recent actions, comments have put me in the camp of maybe he should move on.
Penn St job has been the opening I was most fearful. Initially I was hoping Drink and university would come to an understanding and Drink would dismiss rumors. I thought Drink was bought in considering support he has received.

I think Drink wants to emulate Kiffin in some respects and looks to how he’s handling this situation.

If Drink is going to slow play this, I’m happy to see him go. I would love to have continuity but don’t want to be held hostage each year by a coach that is still very suspect. Mizzou has options and can be a destination and successful with the right coach.
30 years ago a large rim was 16”. Sizes have increased but OEMs still concerned about the mass targets. Larger and lighter wheels may not ride as well depending on design and the resonant frequency. Hit a pothole or something and wheel can act like a tuning fork if frequency is too low. Suspension, tire size etc can dampen that but larger wheels tend to be not as forgiving as smaller.
Not a Saban fan. Pre NIL, swap Pinkel for Saban and both schools end up about the same. Saban had so many advantages at Alabama but is treated as the second coming. Hate him on game day but enjoy the digs about him paying players.
