I haven't seen any so call experts saying Drinkwitz and the new OC will make a difference this coming season. All about teams like Arkansas, Kentucky, Kansas, and some others making noise and make a jump in the rankings. What is going on? Is it just plain old hate for Mizzou?

Yes.

And that’s ok. We can fly under the radar. Sneak attack.

Probably because our media isn't making a big deal our of it either. Results on the field are all that will make headlines.

There will be little hype. Drink is in the put up or shut up stage. Hopefully he can put up

No, I don't believe that.. Try to look at Mizzou as an outsider looking in. I think Eli just garners little interest and most casual fans don't know he even exists. He is a sub-500 coach making small moves like hiring a much needed OC. Not exactly worth writing about.

We have been a .500 team for the past 3 years, and haven't been much better since 2014, regardless of the coach. So, until we start winning, we aren't interesting for media folk to write about.

Drink has yet to improve the football program since he got here. What is there to be excited about?

I like the new OC. Coach Drinkwitz has a hard job so there is no need for him to overload himself. His OC is another recruiter as well.

Looking at all those 4 and 5 star recruits standing in line for their scholarships at most of the other SEC schools (and Texas and Oklahoma) today and every year makes me realize how hard Drink's job is. Maybe the star ratings are inflated at those schools. Inflated or accurate, we have given some of them a hard time and outright beat others over the years.

Gary Pinkel never let star ratings get him down, and I am rooting for Eli like most everyone.

because drink is a mediocre head coach, why would you ride his nuts?
