I was watching that game and was amazed at his arm. And didn't make the Mizzou connection. He's gonna be something!!!

There's probably 10 high school teams in MO that could put a butt whoopin on MU.

One interesting stat I saw (before I turned the TV off in the first quarter)...MU has given up over 1000 yards before the first touch by the defense.

We quickly forget that this is only BO's 3rd season as a head coach. I'm surprised he has a .500 record.

---

And that so-so record is largely due to the prowess of Drew Lock.

Absent Lock, and based on Odom's clock management and selection of coordinators, a .200 record is more probable.

What do you say to a TN football player wearing a 3 piece suit?

Dooley is done trying to pad Locks resume. Mizzou runs the ball and throws to the TE downfield. Mizzou by 20.

---

I certainly hope you are right. Three yards and a cloud of dust offensively keeps our sorry-arse pass defense off the field.

Coach has to learn

Really?

Who knew we had a tactical guru in our midst? I bet CM just laid awake last night wondering where he could go to "learn" some coaching skills.

quote:

---

Mizzou needs to win at least 10 games before a bowl invite for Lock to be considered unless he goes off for something crazy like 4800 yards and 50TDs. Even then, they’d need a big win against Bama or UGA

---

I like the way you think.

quote:

---

Barry will win 5 games and stay. With the schedule left I'm almost certain.

And 3 of the 4 coaches he will face in those last games are on seats equally as hot as BO's.

As an aside, I saw something last night that I have never seen happen before in FB at any level. The UConn coach sent Summers to the locker room after he got called on an unsportsmanlike conduct for throwing the ball at the Mizzou guy following the interception. I hope BO noted that and will toss Moore the next time he shows his arse.

All of this talk about recruits is interesting. It got me to thinking about Pete Adkins, the legendary coach of the Jeff City Jays. Pete did what good coaches do. He took what he had to work with and coached them to over 400 wins during his career. He didn't have the luxury of picking a player from somewhere out of state, he made some All-Americans out of local boys. Even a few NFL stars.

I don't think for one second that the athletic gene pool in Jeff City was any better than that at Hickman in COMO or Rockhurst or CBC in StL. It all came down to knowing how to get the best out of what you have...

And knowing X's and O's is only part of the deal. HCBO may know the mechanics...but he sure hasn't instilled the desire to win and succeed.
