re: Bama coming for Kirby Moore and Brandon Jones?
Posted by IlliniBuck on 2/12/24 at 3:19 pm
Have you forgotten Alabama played grown man football from the middle of the 3rd quarter to the end of the game when they played LSU last year? Alabama ran the ball up the middle and pounded LSU into oblivion on two statement touchdown drives. It was game over well before Daniels got hurt.
The las...

re: Rumors are Deboer looking at Moore for OC
Posted by IlliniBuck on 2/12/24 at 2:12 pm
Some folks on the Alabama board are talking like it is a done deal. They say Deboer and Grubb are Moore's mentor so he will be happy to work with Deboer again.
Eli is really making a name for himself for hiring good coaches. Everyone wants his hires.
If it happens I hope Eli hires someone fro...
re: Anyone else think Kelce went too far

I only saw a picture of him supposedly yelling at the coach. It looked very uncool. Was he really yelling or is this the media making things up again?
I'm old school and think only coaches can do the yelling. Nothing a fine and apology can't fix though.

OMG Florida at number 13. They lost four close games last year. If their starting QB had not been hurt they likely would have won their last 2.

re: Most Disappointed Fanbase This Fall
Posted by IlliniBuck on 2/6/24 at 10:19 am
If making the 12 team playoff every year is the baseline for success now there will be many disappointments. The pressure on coaches will be even greater at certain schools.
At least no one else will have to endure the groin kick Georgia and FSU fans experienced this year.
Almost everyone recr...

I found this well done You Tube video about star ratings. Many of you know what he talks about already but some like me may not. I get most of my off season info about the team from this board and Rock M so keep up the good work all.
It is a 17 minute You Tube video. If you don't want to click th...

Mark Stoops has had plenty of offers but never left Kentucky. There are not many coaches that resist the call of the traditional powers but some do.

The next portal opens from April 16 to April 30th. The last portal opening ended Jan 2. BK fired Matt House after Jan 2. So any players wanting to go with Blake Baker will have to go during the April 16 to April 30 windo...
re: Why was Mizzou successful this year
Posted by IlliniBuck on 1/12/24 at 1:38 am
We should have a good team. I'm cool with 8 - 4 but expectations may be up for other fans. More important, the players expectations should be up to.
Anything can happen. In 2012 Auburn went 3 - 9 and Missouri 4 - 8. In 2013 they both went to Atlanta and finished in the top 5 nationally.

re: How Did LSU and Mizzou Become a Rant Rivalry?
Posted by IlliniBuck on 1/12/24 at 12:28 am
It is probably just temporary. LSU and Texas fans are good at triggering fans of other teams. Blue blood arrogance combined with alters stirring the pot caused it.
It is The Rant so we should all know what to expect. Smack talk is allowed so no foul.

If they don't make it within 3 years the coaches and AD are in trouble. The money shows the commitment a Blueblood like LSU has to winning. They have to. Those cra...

re: If/when Blake Baker spurns LSU, does his decision say more about Mizzou or LSU?
Posted by IlliniBuck on 1/4/24 at 12:44 am
As fan I think Blake Bakers defenses are fun to watch. His players seem to have fun out there on the field running his scheme as well. He would be a good hire. I wish him the best.
A downside for going to LSU is it is year two for Kelly and he already has to fire his DC. Next year, with no Jayde...
re: What if Vandy still had James Franklin?
Posted by IlliniBuck on 12/30/23 at 1:51 pm
Agree that Urban's health should have been his #1 concern.
Coach Saban seems to thrive on the stress. I wouldn't be surprised if he had another 10 years left in him....
re: What if Vandy still had James Franklin?
Posted by IlliniBuck on 12/30/23 at 1:38 pm
Franklin made Vandy a tough out for sure. Back then there were 3 coaches overachieving in the SEC East. James Franklin at Vandy, Steve Spurrier at South Carolina, and Gary Pinkel at Missouri. Those 3 coaches made Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida have down years.
My biggest what if is if Urban Meye...

re: Welcome to the we beat tOSU club Missouri
Posted by IlliniBuck on 12/30/23 at 12:01 am
Ohio State has recruiting classes in the top 5 every year. Tremendous athletes all up and down that roster that don't lose very often. Yes Ohio State had to play a 3rd string QB. Even so, in the minds of the national media and Big Sixers, Missouri is not supposed to beat a team like that. After all,...
