As always, the deep dives start with a look at the quarterbacks, receivers and coverage units today. There's a lot a room to take advantage of Mississippi State's unit, but I don't see the Tigers throwing a ton this week.

Just watched the replay of the SC game, and he seems fully engaged on the sideline, including offering support to Cook after the final interception. Kerrick Jackson says he is definitely a 1st round draft choice in an upcoming MLB draft, but he has not seen if he can play as a starting QB in the SEC. Plus, he is throwing a baseball at 120 feet. Personally I think he is going to try to win the QB job, what say you?

Another year, another Top 10 preseason ranking and I would argue the #2 recruiting class coming in next year. Oh, another thing, #Tigerstyle has also produced a back-to-back World Champion and undisputed best wrestler in America with Mr. J'den Cox.

2019-2020 is a year of transition. Eierman is taking an Olympic redshirt. Zach Elam will be joining him. That means Grant Leeth and his bionic neck move to 141lb with an unknown at 285.

This isn't the year we threaten the top dogs, BUT it is the year we set the foundation for a national title run in 2020-2021.

Big test today versus Virginia Tech at 11am central on ESPN+.

Some key matches: 125, 149, 157, 165, 184.

I wish I had more time to breakdown matches individual, but our friend Sean Mael at Missouriwrestling.com

Near the end of this video, Missouri commit Jack Lange unboxes his Navy All-American jersey.

He's one of two Tigers pledges -- the other being Lamont Rogers -- rostered for the game in January 2025.

The Tigers couldn't miss Wednesday and won their third consecutive game, getting revenge for an early-season loss to the Billikens last year.

From partying it up with recruits at strip clubs at tOSU to being fired by Florida Atlantic, what a trip it has been for one of the most smug JOs around. Next stop Coffeyville CC.

Lets do this.. Looking forward to watching the young guys this year. We have a new beat writer as Rustin Has joined The Athletic

Missouri running backs coach Curtis Luper and defensive line coach Al Davis dipped their feet into a familiar place at Hutchinson (Kan.) Hutchinson C.C., offering Class of 2025 three-star Waymond Jordan.

The sophomore all-purpose back has rushed for 1,332 yards and 18 touchdowns on 175 carries (7.6 yards per rush) this season. Jordan has an official visits this weekend with South Florida and next weekend with UCF, previously Virginia Tech.

With tipoff about 40 minutes away, I figure I should get the game thread started.

I saw Lucija Milkovic in a walking boot on the way in and she's not warming up with the team. She hasn't played much anyway, but I doubt she'll play at all tonight.

No messing around with Mookie Cooper this week, he’s already out.
Tre’Vez Johnson was wearing a green non-contact jersey at practice, but fully participating.
I don’t think anything on the Mississippi State side is new this week.

Missouri added preferred walk-on long snapper Henry Crosby to the Class of 2025 on Wednesday.

Crosby -- who was recruited by special teams coordinator Erik Link -- will currently be the third long snapper on the roster next season, joining Brett Le Blanc and Jack Kautz. Trey Flint will be out of eligibility.

Missouri offered Class of 2025 five-star Javion Hilson on Wednesday.

Hilson -- who ranks No. 16 nationally -- is still uncommitted with the early signing period approaching. He's high school teammates with former Tigers pledge Jayvan Boggs.

There was a great interview on 810 yesterday with former councilman Dan Tarwater, who was part of the negotiating team for the new leases back in 2006.

Apparently the Chiefs had an offer on the table from San Antonio, and the Royals were being offered $300M from MLB to contract and just go away.

During the negotiations, the Royals wanted an amphitheater first, then a spinning scoreboard, finally persuaded to do the outfield upgrades that have been such a success. Listening to the interview, it does not sound like the Royal's leadership was very strong. And yet, they were able to get what they wanted... maybe on the backs of the Chiefs? Dan says the two ownership groups did not get along, and from what Dan says it was quite dicey in 2006.

I get the feeling listening to this, and looking at what Sherman said today, KC residents will be in the same situation this coming year... build us a stadium, or we have to look at our options. The Chiefs have shown a commitment to winning, oh heck... of being competitive. I'd have no problem spending on a team that is revitalizing civic pride and getting attention for the city nation wide. The Royals though, other than for a few fluke years, have not shown much of a commitment to anything.

Is it time to cut bait and call the Royals bluff? Or do you hold your nose and build the stadium and wish and hope for the best?

I have 6 extra Mizzou v. kansas basketball tickets. One set of 4 and one set of 2. These are all lower level sideline seats and face value was $200/ticket. If you're interested knowing the tickets will not be cheap, let me know what you're looking for and willing to pay. Game is on a Sunday afternoon in Columbia, December 8.

I also have my 2 tickets which are club seats at center court, row 5. The offer for these would really have to blow me away though.

314-808-5334

Now that making the 12 is 100% out of the question, when do the Jrs and Srs who will have an NFL opportunity start opting out?

It won’t be all negative if it does happen, younger players will get a lot of action for next year.

Your thoughts……

Very refreshing. True son!

Section 110 Row 14 - aisle seats behind the basket.

I don't have a parking pass.

DM if interested.

Here are where Class of 2025 Missouri commits landed at their respective positions in Wednesday's update:

According to @samspiegelman, Lamont Rogers will take an unofficial visit to Texas A&M on Saturday.

"I like where the Aggies are already sitting with the prized OT."

Missouri attempted to get Rogers on campus this past weekend, but the four-star offensive tackle commit didn't make the trip.

I went back through last night's play-by-play to look at the success of each rotation Dennis Gates used.

This is something I've been interested in looking at for a while and I hope you guys are, too. I'll update the chart with the Memphis rotations later this week when I have a day. It took a good few hours to put this all together, so it's something that might not be an immediate thing the next day after the game if I don't have a lot of time.

Let me know what you guys want to know about in ask the editor this week. We’re actually going to be allowed at practice today, so if you’ve got something you want me to specifically keep an eye on, let me know quick.

$325 all in. DM me with phone number.
