I've been going to Mizzou games for 8 years and that was the most pathetic game atmosphere I've seen over my 40+ games.

Mizzou football is dead. Between the protest and shitty play, it died last fall. Until we get a competent head coach, we'd better get used to Stull years again.

Not to mention it was HOMECOMING. And 52,000 people showed up for the game. That's less than we used to draw for early season cupcakes. The administration is incompetent. The coaching staff is incompetent. The players have quit. And the fans have quit.

Rest In Peace, Mizzou football.

Part of this is hiring a DC without experience in the SEC and that inexperience is showing.
Part of it is changing to a new defensive scheme.
Part of it failure to communicate to the players their role in the new defense.
Part of it is failing to understand that your team will be taking some hard lumps while your team learn new schemes.
Part of it is taking an opponent for granted and not playing hard for sixty minutes.
Part of it is just poor effort.

I noticed while looking up the 1993 beatdown of Mizzou by A&M referenced above, they only drew 52k for that game in a stadium that sat (at the time) 70k. A&M only reached close to capacity twice for a team that went 10-2 and that second loss didn't happen until the Cotton Bowl.

It's interesting how expectations have changed.
