Absolutely.
Fist off, Thanks coach. Not just for the wins, but for how you ran the program, and took care of the kids who came through.

re: Lock's redshirt
Posted by tobythetiger on 9/7/15 at 4:54 pm
Well, I'm not ready to compare him to Manning or luck But Blaine Gabbert was a top 10 pick. Something tells me this kid will be better than Gabbert. Just can't see him at MU as a redshirt senior. As a true senior? Maybe. But I can't believe he'd be here 5 years. Just my opinion....

[quote]Everyone assumes Lock will want to leave after 2017, yet nobody mentions attending Missouri was the fulfillment of a life-long dream. Then he remained loyal when some of the glamour boy coaches tried to poach him. I could easily see him remaining loyal to his teammates and goal of winning ...
re: Mizzou fans, how's the QB situation?
Posted by tobythetiger on 9/6/15 at 5:43 pm
Being a realist isn't sunshine pumping. But like GP, you do what you do. Yeah the defense has played a role the last few years, but you jump to a bunch of conclusions about something (because you're a hater)-it wouldn't bother me if Lock took over this year. I'm just realistic enough to know it isn'...

You're only likely to have one year as a starter either way. But I think he has a better shot at unseating Mauk next year this way than if he redshirted. Again, you're going to get the most out of his time here without the redshirt. This way you get 3 years of on field production rather than only tw...
Lock's redshirt
Posted by tobythetiger on 9/6/15 at 3:27 pm
Seemed to be a controversial thing to the color commentator yesterday. Doesn't appear to be so too much in the fanbase though. Seems like a no brainer-by not redshirting him we are going to get more, not less, time from him. If he's here past three years I'll eat my digital shorts. Why waste one on ...

[quote]So they played the kid after all an pulled the redshirt?[/quote]
Despite what some others are saying, it was the logical thing to do. If Blaine Gabbert can be a top 10 pick after three years at MU, then this kid will be a lottery pick. He will be here three years, 4 max. Why waste one on a...
re: What's your take on the game?
Posted by tobythetiger on 9/6/15 at 12:40 pm
My take is this was the typical first game under Pinkel. Nothing but basic, vanilla, predictable stuff. Seems I have to point this out every year after the first game against a cupcake.
Lots and lots and lots of athleticism and potential everywhere on this team, more so than any roster I can reme...

I don't think you can say this is not serious. For now it would appear to be a rogue employee (or employees) who didn't like Luhnow, but however high up the food chain this goes, heads need to roll. We aren't the Patriots. Own it and do the right things. That too is part of the Cardinal Way....

This pretty well explains why MU is no longer a member of the Big 12.
BTW, congrats on your great season this year-after all, Texas's down years are better than MU's good years, I hear. Ya'll must have kicked arse and taken...
re: Time to be overly optimistic.
Posted by tobythetiger on 4/9/15 at 9:20 pm
Thing is, we don't know for certain if all or any of those kids will be back. Curiously, one of the guys it seemed certain would transfer (Isabel) looks to be staying. Honestly I think that's one kid to be optimistic about. Having a PG who can score (provided he always remembers he's a PG) is a big ...
re: Isabell Staying
Posted by tobythetiger on 4/9/15 at 7:39 am
Or maybe there aren't any bigs left they think are worth taking that they are or can get involved with, and they'd rather take a 4* SG than a stiff. Not saying that's the case, and you could be right.
Me, if you can't sign a useful big with the last (known) scholarship available, then pocket it ...
re: J3 considering leaving
Posted by tobythetiger on 4/3/15 at 12:47 pm
I did say 'perhaps', and that was based on only losing a couple of kids. But go ahead and pretend I predicted a big turn around, dude.
'Progress' does not mean a winning record-it can (and in the context in which I was speaking) progression by the players individually (not unreasonable to expect...

The two year transfer rule is an SEC rule.
And I could see KA restricting where JW3 could go-for example, any team KA felt might have been contacting him through third parties (his dad) would be candidates to be a the no go' list. I for certain would eliminate Arkansas as an option, just because ...

Hard thing to swallow, but true.
