Has one of the worst overall athletic departments in existence. Don’t believe me? Go look at Mizzou’s ranking in national and conference titles won. If it wasn’t for Mizzou wrestling being in a conference below its weight, the 21st century would be extremely pathetic. Not that the 20th century was incredible but at least there were a few periods for some sports.

Best to just focus on individual players and beating rivals for rivalry trophies. It’s the realistic course of action. Also, participation in NCAA tournaments/bowls (forget ever playing in the CFP. It’s not happening. We blew our only chance to do it) is nice. Even though it denotes nothing about being the best. But participation is better than not participating.

What died yesterday was any hope of Mizzou football having any chance at a title, again. The nine game schedule beginning next year is a death sentence for the program. 6-6 would be an accomplishment of Herculean proportions. Kind of a shame because I truly feel this was one of the better chances Mizzou football has had in my 5 decades of following them . Alas, if you don’t have the QB right, and the OC is a mystery man, and other crap happens, chances go away fast. And it isn’t easy to put together a roster this capable, especially at a school with scant history of winning anything. Oh well, such is life.

Just when I was feeling optimistic about Mizzou sports, and life in general, I read this post. What a downer. I guess I'm just a sunshine-pumping idiot. I hope I get hit by a bus, or contract one of those flesh-eating bacteriological scourges, and the sooner the better. :violin:

It was taunting - and they are emphasing the "standing over a player" this year. It was the right call, especially since Young was not even the one that made the play - he ran over to the guy to stand over him. Stupid emotional penalty that really sucked the air out of the stadium, if you were there you actually feel the change.

Yeah, it was definitely taunting. He stood over the downed opponent and acted like a jackass. And, IMO, the targeting was targeting. If that wasn't called, I'm not sure there should ever be a call. We just made some stupid mistakes - it happens. It still was a close game. If our qb was playing one of his better games, the outcome could have been different. I've got to say the Bama qb played great.

Well, I was taught to never cheat. Apparently, the same can’t be said of the Ok. coaching staff. The “victory” should be negated, and the coach should be penalized for being a crook. Maybe a prison stay would change his mind about cheating? At a minimum, he should do 800-1,000 hours of community service, and wear a scarlet ”C” on his sweatshirt if he is ever allowed to coach again.

Don't know, but he looked great this weekend, IMO.

No. Several strong conferences is better for CFB.

Not wishing 0-18 on any school. It wasn't much fun.

Ouch!!

Jayden Daniels beat us single-handedly last year. I've never seen anything like it - dude was unstoppable.

Well, we did make them look like the best team ever. Not sure how we did that, but it was terribly one-sided. Oh well, maybe we win all the rest of our games (but not particularly likely :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:). I hope UMass is ready for a tough game on Saturday, 'cause we're gonna give em one!

Lighten up. They have lost exactly one game this year.
