re: Tiger B.B. observations....

I think you are wrong on both counts: 1) You start Puryear over Jontay because of his experience, particularly once you get into conf play with hostile crowds and physical play. Jontay is best suited to come off the bench once the game has settled in. Plus he brings a scoring threat off the be...

[quote]This changes game to game. We’ve had games this year where Phillips was the best of the 3, and games that Geist played really well and games that it was Harris. [/quote] This is spot on. HCCM is going with the "hot hand" at PG. Whichever guard is getting the offense flowing and not turni...

re: Barry Odom has earned his 3rd year

Posted by Alphaman on 11/12/17 at 4:34 pm
In my mind he needs to win at least one of the final 2. I'm likely alone on this, but he has yet to win my SEC road game. He needs to win an SEC road game to earn that 3rd year IMHO....
FAU doesn't concern me especially if he has aspirations of playing at the next level. Florida or Tennessee might concern me, but a commit this late may be tough to flip....
If the season finishes the way the trajectory is headed, then YES he should go. Rhodes did not hire KA so there should be no loyalty forcing hi to hold onto him. The reasons I think he needs to go is that the team does not hustle, they don't play with any passion, they don't defend well and they ...
Stole this from the Alabama board. It would tend to support the tweet. Sounds like a reasonable decision on his part. [quote]Some insight into what has transpired over the last 48 hours regarding Tosh. I get some insight from inside the complex from time to time but this is my first time to sh...
Yeah, Fedora would be a good option too....
I'm still holding out hope that Herman is an option. I think we need a guy with a strong offensive background. We are not in rebuild mode. We have a young QB and young WRs who gained valuable, albeit tough playing experience this year. The right guy can mold them into a dominant force. Herman and ...

[quote]Here is the #6 point you missed in your pitch. Per Scott Roussel of FootballScoop.com: “This is an SEC job, now, where they’ve proven a path to win the SEC East. You win the SEC, you get into the playoffs. There, you have a chance to win the national championship. It’s a great job. It’s a v...

The Pitch to Herman

Posted by Alphaman on 11/19/15 at 11:50 am
Here are some thoughts on sales pitch to Tom Herman and why now Mizzou is the right spot for him. In essence he come in and hit the ground running and continue to build his personal brand... 1) QB - From day 1 he has a talented, highly recruited QB who has starting experience with 3 years of el...
[quote]As much as I would like to see Patterson, Herman, or Fuente hired, I think the best move and most seamless transition would be to promote Odom. We could then promote Kul to DC and promote future HOFer, Justin Smith, to DL coach. Henson would then have one year to show major improvement in the...

re: DGB: What a waste of talent.

They did say that Mizzou was 2nd to Florida State, but that statement is very misleading. To be correct it should state that Mizzou was 2nd to Florida State among the 10 schools they focused on. Who knows what the stats are for the other 100+ FBS schools. Further, to a point that was made earl...

Alexander would be the ideal signee at this juncture. Without question, we need another post player....
I think we've got a decent shot to win our first game. South Carolina, Mississippi State and Auburn are all teams we can beat. if we win that game, the 2nd game is problematic depending on the matchup. Georgia and Ole Miss just seem like bad match ups for us. LSU seems to be a better match up. ...

re: Senior Night tonight

Posted by Alphaman on 3/4/15 at 6:45 am
[quote]wubilli Senior Night tonight A lot of Posts moving screens are the fault of our guards. They start the move before the bigs get there to set the pick. [/quote] And leaving too much space between them and Post which leaves space for the defender. The screener then has to lean to get a p...

I really like Isabell. Kid has moxy and has playmaking skills, probably more than anyone else. He needs to mature a bit (as would be expected), but he can be phenominal in the future....
I agree with the OP's choices except one. I think T Hall has a shot to play on STs like other LBs have on their way to being dynamic LBs....
Sounds like he needs a call from Coach Pinkel and Coach Kuligowski. 1)SEC Coach of the year 2)National D-Line Coach of the year 3)Stable coaching staff 4)Family atmosphere 5)DLine ZOU!!! Sounds like a perfect fit...MIZ ZOU :dude:...
