re: Hogville.net is a great read right now.

One of our best teams ever? Christ they sound like tejas fans over there. I might love this team as much as any of the previous GP teams but it's because they've accomplished what they've accomplished and they're not our best team under GP, much less ever.

I don't know if it's this way for you with me... But you consistently post what I'm about to as I'm scrolling through a thread. Multiple, multiple times. And you're right - this crew is far from Pinkel's best, but they are probably the dearest to my heart because of how gutsy they are and how they simply refuse to lose. The defense sets the tone and the offense does what's needed to get the job done.

I was telling my daughter early in the 4th when it was 14-6, "This is the way this team has played all year. The offense struggles, the defense is keeping it close, and then watch - the offense is going to hit a big play and win this." And the very next play was the bomb to Jimmie Hunt.

What was truly impressive though, was how the OLine destroyed them in the 4th quarter. Total destruction.

And I'm sure I'm with you on this too, Reedus - Missouri has a great shot to win next weekend. And I really don't care if it's Bama or M-State. After last year's near miss, the stage won't be too big for them. EVERYONE will write them off (again) and they might just Shock The World (again).

It's certainly Pinkel's best coaching job ever. He needs to tighten up the ST's, but this team's the tits.
