In this interesting bye week, with a game last Friday and a game next Thursday, we've got a little bit of time to look toward the future for a minute before thinking about the showdown against Nebraska. The 2010 recruiting class for the Tigers has about 15 commits, with around ...Published on: 1st October, 2009
Maybe "poor" is a bad choice in wording (I ran out of space for my headline). But Missouri's running game has hardly been good this year. Going into the season, many people, including me, thought that the 2009 offensive line would be the best in Gary Pinkel's tenure in Columbia. With three ...Published on: 29th September, 2009
The rankings show it, and so do their records. After non-conference play, a Big 12 North division that many predicted would be a two horse race has become a three trick pony. Missouri has surprisingly performed up to similar standard that heavy favorite Kansas and blast-from-the-past Nebraska were held to ...Published on: 28th September, 2009
It might not have been pretty at times, but winning isn't always pretty. Anybody complaining about the Missouri Tigers' current standing should take a sip of reality and realize how pretty the Tigers are actually sitting. Any Mizzou fan that says one month ago they wouldn't be happy with a 4-0 ...Published on: 15th September, 2009
They had escaped with a 27-20 victory in the second week of a season, but there was a bitter taste in the mouths of Missouri fans after this week's game against Bowling Green. Fans young and old ridiculed Blaine Gabbert's tuck-and-run tactics despite no throwing lanes being open. They criticized ...Published on: 11th September, 2009
It wasn't so long ago that Mizzou students held their collective breath every time the fourth quarter rolled around, regardless of the score or opponent. The fourth quarter represented "that time" again in Columbia: time for Gary Pinkel's team to blow another one. Much has changed since the early years of Pinkel's ...Published on: 5th September, 2009
Game Time: 2:40 CT -2:00: Forty minutes before the game is due to start and the Dome is still pretty quiet considering the bad weather. I figured people would file in early but everybody's still tailgating. So far the crowd is split pretty evenly. Pregame thoughts: Both teams look hyped, particularly Mizzou. ...Published on: 7th August, 2009
Previous Position: Wide Receiver/Tight End Although most of the offensive attention has been placed onto skill positions in previous seasons as the Missouri Tigers have put up massive numbers, little love has been shown to the offensive line, who have paved the way for three straight 1,000 yard rushers, a Heisman ...Published on: 5th August, 2009
Although Missouri's 2009 recruiting class wasn't exactly heralded by the experts, college football recruiting continues to become more and more of a needle-in-the-haystack type of process. Former two-star guys like Sean Weatherspoon and Danario Alexander are leading the charge this year in Columbia, and four-star athletes like Michael Keck and ...Published on: 3rd August, 2009
Previous Position: Running Back Was there a stronger unit in the Big 12 last season? Mizzou had a top 20 NFL talent in Jeremy Maclin, a walk-on turned hero in Tommy Saunders, and a Mackey award winner in Chase Coffman. So how can the cupboard not be completely bare in Columbia ...
