IF true what's your take?

Sour grapes. I'm not surprised given his immaturity, and it shows he's learned nothing from this suspension. He should be worried about himself and his own future, not what's being said on Twitter.

Not a good move if he wants out of Pinkel's doghouse. But I dot expect to ever see him play for Mizzou again anyway, so I'm. It sure it matters.

I think you're missing the point. MM needs to focus on himself.

Anyone with a brain knew Lock would struggle some, especially agains a defense like Florida's. But it certainly wasn't all his fault. It didn't matter who the QB was, IMO.

Here's something MM NEVER understood; when fans boo it's because they think you're better than the way you're playing.

But look at it from his perspective. We've had proof the past 2 games that it was truly shitty Oline and receiver play that has limited us on offense.

Getting booed for something that may or may not have been your fault can be infuriating. You can't deny that alot of people were pointing at Mauk as the problem.

We're not assessing the validity of the tweets, just wanted opinions on MM "favoriting" them

He shouldn't have put the team in this position in the first place, but he has deleted the favorites now.

Kids make mistakes, and alot of fans have been more harsh than need be on Mauk. Heck, some might have even damaged him for his life after football without facts. A drug reputation can really F up job prospects after college given his stature, and that might not even be what he is suspended over.

I'm inclined to give him a pass considering everything that has happened.

I have no problem in him pointing out a few people who say he wasn't the problem. His ego was prolly pretty damaged after the sc game. I can only imagine how many incompletions he would have had against that fl secondary. The fault of the game wasn't on lock but on henson.

You are right...

And I still believe Lock should have played over Mauk. Outside of scrambling and trying to create a play against Florida I see no real advantage with Mauk. I personally think we may have lost against USCe if we played him over Lock.

One glaring reason he is not a team captain. Immaturity. I think we have to remember people will not always do the right thing. Also, you're still dealing with kids. That's what seperates MM from Lock. The maturity. Given time, Lock will make people forget there ever was an MM.

My take is that I'm surprised he can get on Twitter from rehab.

And, by the way, who knows what REALLY was the cause for the suspension?

Drugs.

The first tweet Mauk favorited during the game, though, was one about how Lock was making great plays that MM couldn't and that this was a different offense with Lock.

So Mauk was favoriting not just tweets from the Lock-taunting Mizzou fans but also a tweet basically saying Lock ruled and Mauk sucked.

My takeaway is that Mauk was just favoriting any tweets he saw that mentioned him, regardless of if they were favorable to him or unfavorable. Not a wise move, because the media got hold of it and both they and the public started making assumptions.

But the only thing I can gather from the seemingly conflicting messages of the tweets Mauk favorited is that Mauk is used to being in the spotlight, whether good or bad, and he was favoriting anything and everything that mentioned him because part of him still wants that spotlight on him that he's so used to. You can't, though, say he was "agreeing" with the two later mean tweets toward Lock, any more than you can say he was "agreeing" with the earlier tweet he favorited that was pro-Lock and anti-Mauk.
