Dennis Johnson's trucking the entire SEC the last 4 years speaks for itself.

DMAC nearly tearing his toe off kicking a mofo that was trying to steal his cousin's car and then playing a couple weeks later speaks for itself.

Peyton Hillis' running style speaks for itself.

Our FB turned OG setting the combine bench press record and solidifying his roster spot in the Giants speaks for itself.


I have no defense for the poor coaching of tackling fundamentals in the Petrino era, it was the bane of my fanhood during that time.

Is it just me, or does it seems that the college teams that rely on Texas recruits seem to be a little soft for the most part? Now that might be more of a result of the conferences those teams play in, more than the recruits. But those Big 12 teams sure seem soft at times.


I've noticed that as well. Wonder if all that 7on7 practice has anything to do with it?

Well that and the spread offense at a high school level and earlier.

When your high school is throwing the ball all over the field instead of pounding it up the middle it can make a difference.

Hence why A&M will have 5 WRs on the field for ton s plays next year, but might never do a non-shotgun run up the middle.

I live in KY, and our hs football is small and slow, and white.

Are they soft? Are they masrhmallows? Are they hard as Jawbreakers? What is the structural integrity of these pigment deprived human beings? Answer the question. Now! gimmeadollar.

No, I'm trying to regain the neighborhood's trust. I even mow my yard with my shirt on.

I'd say Tennessee.

Playing style, not #'s wise. Patrick Willis is from Tennessee. You going to call him soft?





UT coaches need to hold high school coaching clinics in the offseason. Get the Tennesssee HS coaches up to speed and fired up about training and developing those HS football players. If the HS playing style is making the state talent soft and undesirable, then the high school coaches need to address that pronto. JMHO

I guess I'm saying Missouri puts out the softest football players in the SEC. Any other state close to that powder puff league they have up there?



This thread is full of FAIL. Good try.

Considering a Missouri smaller class school... Webb City 4a did to one of Arkansas' best schools Springdale Har-Ber(aren't they class 7). Missouri schools would wreck Arkansas in football. Webb City is not even in our biggest class. Also Rock Bridge(5a) out of CoMO beat Springdale the following week. I can only imagine what our class 6 schools(KC/STL metro areas) would do to Arkansas teams.

When Missouri 4a school meets Arkansas 7a

Looks like another smaller Missouri school beat them

congrats on beating a split school system that is a shell of it's former self.

Webb City is a good program there's no denying that though. It's all relative though. Now if they'd beaten Bentonville you'd have a point, but the Springdale teams haven't really been competitive since the split.

How does somebody from Arkansas attack Missouri recruits, when your staff makes it a priority to recruit the state? When was the last time we went to recruit Arkansas?

Here, here! Although I'd need to know where Broderick Green and Denise Johnson are from to be sure.

After a bit of research, they are both from Arkansas. But RWJ was everything you said. I'm still going to go with Mizzourah.
