re: Chips are floating in space, does Mizzou beat a ranked team this year
Posted by CelticTiger on 8/8/26 at 11:20 pm to Jack Daniel
Not our fault that teams that are ranked when we beat them fold like a cheap suit by the end of the year. Must be the embarrassment of losing to Missouri that puts them in that death spiral.

and never be considered true competition.
I suggest working on that severe deflection and logic flaw from which you suffer!
Let’s take it down to elementary school proficiency tests…
Which of these statements best supports a win-loss record of 2-2?
a) the team that has won two games in the series will never be considered true competition
b) the fact that the series is tied at 2-2 is indicative of a competitive series of contests
c) Paul Finebaum has overstayed his relevancy
d) b and c are true
I already know your answer and it’s why even though you followed LSU growing up, you had to settle on community college

You can post this shite all day long, but there are few , if any, smart enough to understand what happened in 2012 with the addition of A&M and Mizzou bringing rich cable markets for Slive to have in his back pocket when negotiating to launch the lucrative SEC network. It’s sad that such a seminal event is lost on the mouth breathers who will never understand the business that is CFB!

Q : How did Missouri get into the SEC?
A: Slive needed big cable markets to launch the unprecedented (at the time) SEC Network. Mizzou delivered rich cable markets. It had NOTHING to do with future performance in the conference. NOTHING! It was a wildly successful strategy. Anyone who knows ANYTHING about business and contracts understands this. Clearly you do not!

If you are talking about broadcast TV markets, I would agree. However, at the time Missouri and A&M were admitted it was most certainly about cable TV marketts, and sports packages within cable television subscriptions. If the SEC network got included in a sports package (which it did) in a baseball crazy market like St. Louis or Kansas City. The SEC network was paid a certain amount per subscription whether that subscriber watched the SEC network or not. Read a couple articles. It was a huge win for Slive. The Texas market, especially but also St. Louis and Kansas City helped him negotiate that blockbuster deal.

You are simply cherry-picking some stats.
You mean this trajectory...
2022 6-7
2023 10-3
2024 6-7
2025 10-3
Based on his past performance his "trajectory" has him due to go 6-7 in 2026.
You are drilling down into minutiae here...but 7 wins over teams ranked at the time he played them.
These statements are nothing but your opinion. Not objective criteria:
You fail to include his time at Appalachian State which makes his numbers 54-12 for a 81.8% (or higher than your made up subjective 80% threshold)...and before you dismiss that season, realize that he took a Sun Belt team and finished 19th in the nation that year. Quite an accomplishment for any head coach.

The only argument in favor of Drink is if someone perceives the ceiling being so low at Mizzou that he has done the impossible of making multiple bowl games.
Really? That's the ONLY argument? See my post above.
Sounds like you're not much of a Drinkwitz fan. Believe me, I've had my own issues with Drink over the years (particularly last season), but on an objective basis, there are a number of reasons to rank Drink higher.
re: SEC football coach rankings
Posted by CelticTiger on 6/16/26 at 1:18 pm to Boomer00
By what criteria would you say Venabals is better than Drinkwitz?
In Venables 4 seasons as a head coach he is 32-20 for a win % of 61.5% and his teams never finished higher than #13 in the AP poll (#10 in Coaches). He is 1-1 head to head against Drinkwitz.
Drinkwitz in 7 seasons as a HC is 58-30 for a win % of 65.9% and has finished #8 in both AP & Coaches.
If you want to throw in the CFP appearance, remember OU made it in a 12 team field. In 2023 Mizzou wouid have easily made the CFP had the CFP been expanded to 12 by then. So that's a wash.
Ummm...see 2023 (11 wins) and 2024 (10 wins) and if you like you can add 12 wins at Appalachian State but I'm not hanging my hat on that one.
There is no objective criterion to support your assertion.

You’re a child. The MU & A&M addition allowed Slive to negotiate what at the time was an unprecedented lucrative SEC Network launch. It was extremely valuable to ALL SEC teams at the time.

Art History degree from Vandy.
Accounting degree from ANY of the other SEC schools.
Who gets hired?

The only problem with that is…what do you have to wake up to tomorrow? No early kickoffs, no complex planning to make sure you catch every CFB game you deem relevant.
What? You’re going to get up and find college baseball games? Get ahold of yourself man! You’re a MIZZOU fan! Baseball is played in STL and KC…and typically later in the day.
So by all means, continue drinking, just come up with better threads,
