Some fans migrated, but it mainly comes down to not having much to post about. I know that doesn't slow your roll Ak. You've got the post count to prove it.

Where is your boy Rambo? I love watching him melt down on Twitter these days.

Not sure. I don't twitter. SEC rant is my main internet vice.

I know it's hard to believe, but Lefty is not totally correct here. Drink said this is the most "talented" team he's had at Mizzou. Big difference.

Not necessarily. Kirby has been trash talking our team all Spring.

That will make it all the sweeter when my Tigers beat you at Jordan Hare in October.

True, but in his defense the headline writer got it wrong as well:

"Eli Drinkwitz says 2025 Tigers are best team he’s had at Mizzou"

Pribula would need to be the answer …. and he’s somewhat of an unknown. His playing experience seems to mostly be mopups or against inferior opponents. But he played well in that Purdue game when he was under pressure. Pyne - nope. Good player but has shown a tendency to make mistakes under pressure. Unless he fixes this, I don’t see him as the answer that Drink is looking for Sam Horn - love this kid, big arm and even a bigger heart. Reminds me of Jax Dart …. except Dart thoroughly excels at reading defenses. Unfortunately, Horn does not have this ability, IMO. Just my dos centavos ….


^^ THIS is the correct answer ^^

We are called the Show Me State....I'm hopeful, but then I am every year. We will see....

Kirby and Drink are not even the same species in terms of college football. Kirby passed live boy/ dead girl in his bed level of untouched territory awhile ago. Could you imagine any other coach coach with more players arrested than wins since January of 2023 and nobody is even batting an eye about it?

While coaches do blow smoke, they also create a certain expectation. Not sure why a coach would say something like that if he didn’t believe it, in turn creating unattainable expectations.

Gus Malzahn did it every year.

-13 seconds better
-Offense will be better and I can focus on the team
-QBs can use private QB instruction and make checks at los.
-Our team has really bought in.
-Our coaching staff is one heart beat.
-Our tempo will be faster.

Please start reading the whole thing first before posting. The title is from the article. On paper Drinkwitz assembled his best team (the most talented roster so far) yet. The team needs to show it on the field this coming season and make the playoffs to make it the best team he has had at Mizzou.
