consistency is one thing, not outcoaching your major deficiency is another..

he has zero CC's in 15 years and is 0-4 in attempts, of course the same people that sneer and laugh at "participation prizes" for their team will tell us that somehow it's just a great achievement for Mizzou to even be there.

We could have gotten more out of guys like DGB and who knows what difference that makes. Thing is we all saw the SEC CC 2 years ago and realized we had no plan at all to stop Auburn, there has been room for improvement at MU, it's just very slow coming.

"winning big"?
we are 1-2 vs UGA, and somehow I still feel like that game could easily decide the East.

I'd say you guys have been winning big over the last 2 years in regards to seasonal expectations placed on to you by national pundits. Having a winning record against every team outside of UGA isn't easy. Even in a bad East. And Making it to the SECCG twice in 3 seasons is respectable even with the outcomes.

Athletically, MU looked out matched against AU and Bama in the CC games. If the caliber of athlete has more parity between MU and the Alabamas, Auburns, and LSU's, I think that Pinkel would have a chance to bring home some hardware. Your staff schemes, red shirts, and develops players as good as anyone in the country. 90% of the time that works great. It's tough to beat the loaded Alabamas and Auburns of the CFB world with a noticeable disadvantage in the caliber of athlete and depth of them on each sideline. Pinkel does a fantastic job given the circumstances IMO.
