Missouri's Jeremy Maclin was a national icon for two years in college football. His lightning speed and breathtaking cuts in traffic were legendary, thrusting him into the conversation as one of the best playmakers in the land, and eventually the first round of the 2009 NFL draft. He's got Danario Alexander ...Published on: 10th November, 2009
In light of Baylor scrub Nick Florence looking like freaking Dan Marino in Columbia on Saturday (obviously I'm still a little bitter), I can only cringe when I think about lightning fast Brandon Banks going up against the sieve that is Mizzou's secondary on Saturday in Manhattan. Equipped with a coach ...Published on: 7th November, 2009
All summer long the Mizzou secondary talked about how their simplified game plan and increased accountability under new defensive coordinator Dave Steckel would improve their horrid pass defense from a year ago. For a group that talked so much about improvement, and "shocking the world" and showing the country what they ...Published on: 6th November, 2009
If there was EVER a Big 12 game Missouri was gonna win by blasting an opponent, it's tomorrows game against the lowly Baylor Bears. I'd like to somewhat preface this article by saying I loved the Bears headed into the season. With Jay Finley and Kendall Wright flanking Robert Griffin as ...Published on: 2nd November, 2009
Young defensive end monster Aldon Smith loves to do John Cena's "You Can't See Me" celebration after he gets a sack (he had three Saturday in Boulder). And that's all well and good. The Tigers got back in the win column with a 36-17 victory. However, the fact of the matter ...Published on: 26th October, 2009
Nothing much has gone well for the Missouri Tigers football team lately. The Tigers haven't won since September, their stud young quarterback suddenly looks average and injured, Danario Alexander is the only spark on offense that warrants any applause, and the defense has been giving up more points left and right. But ...Published on: 21st October, 2009
With most of its class already wrapped up, Gary Pinkel is addressing positions of need with his remaining scholarships. And he's definitely addressing "big" needs this weekend. Defensive tackle is probably the biggest spot left to fill on the Tigers recruiting checklist. With Sheldon Richardson and Ty Phillips both failing ...Published on: 21st October, 2009
The phrase, "offense wins games, but defense wins championships" almost perfectly describes the Missouri Tigers the last few seasons. Sure, they've racked up consecutive double-digit win seasons, a couple Big 12 North titles (gee, great), and won their bowl games. But what have they actually won ? With a team ...Published on: 12th October, 2009
For three quarters last Thursday, the Missouri Tigers sloshed their way to a 12-0 lead against the Nebraska Cornhuskers, playing poorly but holding the Nebraska offense at bay. But out of nowhere, Bo Pelini, Zac Lee, and the Huskers seized the game, and the Big 12 North division, by the throat. ...Published on: 6th October, 2009
With the recruiting season midway over and the 2010 signing day a mere six months away, the Missouri Tigers have signed 15 players to their latest crop of future frosh, with at least six more to ink. Since this is going to be one of Missouri's smaller classes in a while ...
