I've come to a decision

After having my dopamine plummet like the 1929 stock market game after game and after watching Drinkwitz make a few good points in his post-A&M game presser and having watched a clip of Sam Horn continuing to express enthusiasm for coming to MU, I've decided to take a step back from the ledge. I am now officially in 2022 mode. Here are my (hopefully) low expectations for the rest of the season:
1. Win one of two between Vandy and SCAR. The rest of the games are unwinnable given the current state of this team.
2. Hold enough commits/recruits to keep the 2022 class in the top 25.
3. Show SOME improvement in SOME facet of the game between now and the end of the season. I don't even care which facet, I just want to see movement.
If we can accomplish those three things I will put a stop to all the stomach acid generation and patiently bide my time watching HS film of all the new recruits as well as the remaining MU games from more of an intellectual than emotional point of view all while waiting for 2022 and 2023 where I WILL expect substantial improvement.
If we beat both Vandy and SCAR and/or by some miracle land Burden I'll simply enjoy that icing on the cake!
Whew, I feel better already. Who will join me in this reframe?

Gracial tweeted his UA all-American invite in his Mizzou sweater. Tavorus Jones even retweeted it with a tiger face. Sam Horn didn’t have any doubts about coming to Mizzou in his ESPN interview. Still have a great shot at burden and will know tomorrow. I’d say we have a great chance at retaining all of our recruits as they seem to be sold

We’re all good. I don’t see anything from any of the recruits to make me think they are wavering. We are going to pick up a 5* WR tomorrow and will likely finish in the top 15. By far our best class ever. There will be plenty of talent in the portal to address other needs.
We suck now but we’ll be much better next year and the sky is the limit.
I’m still holding out hope for a bowl though. As bad as we are, Vandy and SC are worse and Florida and Arky are both beatable if we play our A game and they don’t.

Nice. I almost started a thread after seeing people panic. If we survived the late 80's and early 90's, this too shall pass.
Worst case I can imagine right now: Drinkwitz is an excellent recruiter who can't teach and coach on gameday; in that case we would probably have 4 classes in the top 25, and that would be a talent rich roster if we changed direction at head coach. The next coach won't come in with a bare cupboard.

Yeah, I had a little higher expectations for this year. We are woefully bad on defense, and need upgrades on O.
I was upset earlier in the year. But, this was always going to be a “let’s see what happens in 2023” type of move.
The real reason I’ve been upset this year is my concern about losing recruits. If Drink can recruit passes this shite play, then imagine the possibilities once/if we get rolling.
All stories to unfold. The arrow is pointing in the right direction, let’s hope for a good release.
