To stop complaining about not getting any respect. We haven't won a conference championship since 1969. And we've been blown out of the majority of our championship games. Until we win something of significance, we don't deserve all that much respect.
That being said, for being a rebuilding year, I'm pretty happy with how the season turned out. Our best years are still ahead of us.

I agree. Mizzou football and basketball don't deserve any respect. Football last conference title was '69. Basketball was '94. Neither have won a national championship. That's pathetic.

Pretty much summed it up.

Good teams put up and bad teams get shut up. Mizzou Tigers = Kansas City Chiefs, until you win something you don't deserve any respect.

The program has come a long way. We're competitve on a more consistent basis than ever. All we need is recruiting to catch up. I don't know when that happens, but really hoping sooner than later.

I don't think recruiting does catch up, following our most successful seasons in years we don't ever seem to have a recruiting bump. Think we just are what we are, a good team who will never to very rarely be great

lulz @ Missouri being a bad team / not deserving of respect. #realitycheck
NOBODY on this board thought this was a 10 win team. Just getting to Atlanta was a hell of an achievement.
The weeping vag / slit your wrist / Emo routine is laughable and pathetic.

Emotions are a major part of the fan experience but the reality remains the same. We are fans of a average team that has overachieved.
We will never be more than a division winner in a subpar division of a power 5 conference. The wins look good and it makes us feel good because it looks like we have a punchers chance. That feel good moment quickly subsides once you go against extremely talented teams i.e. Oklahoma in 2007, Auburn in 2013, and Alabama in 2014.
I am proud of the squad, but I understand what this is.

Sasser, Hunt, Golden, Murphy and Ray are big shoes to fill. Best of luck in your bowl game

Yep I agree. The level of recruiting has to pick up, the game last night showed that. Mizzou put up a valiant effort for about 3 quarters before the superior talent of Bama took over.
All in all, it has been a very successful season for Mizzou standards, we overachieved. If we ever want a National Championship, or SEC title, better gameplanning and talent is a must.

To me, Mizzou is much better than an average team. An average team doesn't finish in the Top 20 or Top 25, much less Top 10 like last year. An average team doesn't win the SEC East even when the east is supposedly down.
What Mizzou is not is a team capable of winning anything of significance quite yet. GP has taken us from irrelevance and made them relevant again. Just not relevant to the point of competing for hardware of significance. That will take getting better talent and that, I don't know if GP and staff can do.

pretty much correct, as Pinkel says, this team doesn't give up but there is a limit to what not giving up can accomplish.
Before the dark years, Mizzou was somewhat of a giant slayer, now after the dark years we are a average team beater(on most days) who on all but one day, never won the big one. So yea things can get better, but it doesn't mean they will.
I wonder how many of you, if you actually HAD TO win a game with any players, would take Pinkel, Henson and Stec over Saban, Kiffin and Smart? Yesterdays the Tigers were outcoached in EVERY facet of the game and it was blatantly obvious. So yea, someday things may get better, but for now this team is what it is, and we just saw exactly what that will be for the near future.

So if Saban, Kiffin and Smart were coaching Mizzou and GP, Henson and Stec were coaching Bama, Mizzou would have won yesterday?
I get what you're saying, but I think it has more to do with the players than the coaching. I think the coaching staff sometimes out thinks themselves because they are trying to mask or make up ground for the talent deficiency on the field. For example, I think they had to alter things when Mauk was struggling in order to hide his deficiencies.

I'm saying they are better coaches on game day and at game planning, give them the same players to play against each other and they will win 3 out of 4 times. Developing 3 stars is one thing, knowing how to coach on game day is something different.

thanks Joe, they are some solid players but none were heavily recruited by big time programs. We'll produce another class of those players before long, but we know what they can do and what they can't do, so there is also that.
