  1. How many LBs do we want in this class? Would we have room for Terrence Cooks and Andrew Jones if they both wanted to commit, assuming, Clayton Smith projects as an WDE? It's easy to forget that we already have Derrick Harris Jr.
  2. Had to check your username to understand this take. As I mentioned previously, I've spent plenty of time in Lincoln and lived in Columbia for two years. Columbia is nicer and more sophisticated than Lincoln in almost every way. Lincoln is the result of Omaha taking a shit.
  3. Oldest public university. Missouri does have disappointing BBQ. You got that right. Granted, I've never done much searching for it in STL or KC. Surely they should both have at least one local secret type place buried somewhere in the hoods.
  4. I ask that you please not tarnish my highly exalted reputation within this most distinguished community of scholars and gentlemen father.
  5. IMWP's son here. My wife and I chose Mizzou for grad school basically because, between having tuition waived and paid GRA positions, it cost next to nothing (Dave Ramsey probably got randomly horny the moment we made that decision). We never even visited Columbia, but, I must say, we really enjoyed our two years there. It's on the northern end of the beautiful part of Missouri, riddled with hike and bike trails, and the people there were good to us. Plus, Columbia is a very affordable place to live. For example, we were not flush with cash, but had plenty of good restaurant options for dates and meeting up with friends. As for the university, I think I can explain the perspective of Mizzou fans being over confident. Mizzou is the only major DI school in the state and our nation's oldest university west of the Mississippi. It's like Nebraska in that many Missourians never consider another school for undergrad. This cultural status gives Mizzou an undeserved local mystique. Most students and alumni don't care too much that they are solidly mediocre at sports, but support the team and attend games as per tradition. As you'd expect the social tailgating scene has more energy than the games. I guess you can say early football success in the eastern division was a nice boost of confidence, but, otherwise, only cocky, ignorant undergrads are going to talk much shit. Personally, I never became a huge fan of their athletics. They were not good at anything when I was there, and the SEC chest thumping was nothing compared to aggy but still annoying. I've held on to two shirts and always hope they can upset higher status SEC opponents. That's about it. TLDNR version - I went to grad school at Mizzou. It is Nebraska's better looking cousin who has a better personality but doesn't have a glory days to fall back on and hates it's neighbor Kansas for having one elite sport.
  6. I guess not every recruit is ambitious enough to sign up to play big boy Big 12 football.

  8. 4 out of our 7 WR signees from the '19 and '20 classes are 6'1 or shorter. Seems pretty balanced to me.
  9. Might be better for Roach to go undrafted at this point.
  10. Just tuned in. Has Goodell been in a t-shirt all day today?
  11. We are not on Alabama, LSU, or ou's level with NFL receivers, but we will have two drafted tomorrow and Duvernay was the most productive receiver in college last season. I guess we will need to produce a 1st rounder before elite WRs will look our way again.
  12. I like this guy's scoring system but grading height for WR makes zero sense.
  13. As a Midwesterner I can confirm that Nebraska fans hate Texas, but they never really want to answer why...
  14. Burt will go pro...in something other than sports.
  15. At this point she should just ship him out to Fort Fargo where he can win four national titles and be on the best throws squad in the country.
  16. Is this freshman in high school tagging along with another visitor?
  17. I can't help but think that a handful of teams will scout him differently than the media pundits and have him higher up their boards. If you want a consistent source of production, Duv's your man.
  18. Tech's last two games are against Baylor and Kansas. WVU still has to play Baylor as well. A 3rd or 4th place finish is legitimately possible. Sadly, that is the kind of slightly above average mediocrity that keeps coaches employed.
  19. Malcolm certainly has the work ethic to make have a decent career in the NFL. He may never be a full time starter, but should provide quality depth for a team that knows how to use him correctly.
  20. While I think the roster is primed to bounce back, I'm not convinced we have the staff that will put guys in position to succeed. I will need to see it to believe it. Nevertheless, even if things go well, I could see the Big 12 championship game being between us and ou/osu, where both teams are ranked in the 6-10 range and the winner is left out of the playoffs. A bowl win and top 12 finish easily secures Herman's job in that scenario.
  21. Where were you sitting?! The arkies around us were unbearable. I knew it was going to be interesting when I was coming back from the restroom and they refused to budge an inch to let me back into the row. Had to force my way past their fat smelly bodies.
  22. It's very rare for QBS to bench press at the combine, but would be totally on brand for Sam to do so.
  23. Not saying he isn't a great prospect, but this is all about driving off season clicks. Worked on me.
