Interesting development for Barry Odom and the Rebels. Redshirting and done for the year due to lack of NIL promises.

Bringing along my son, a TCU alum whose Frogs took care of ku on Saturday. That should be worth something.

Will throw in a signed copy of the book.

Each week I take a look at the potential outcomes of the upcoming game on an absurd level a lot of the assumptions will be pulled from games played prior to Saturday.

1. With no surprise I predict a win versus AtM this Saturday!

2. The last two games A&M have given up at least 250yds passing to the opposition. I say that Brady gets off the snide and throws for 300yds+ this Saturday

3.Against Ark- Isaac Teslaa 5rec/120 yds 1TD, Andrew Armstrong 6rec/ 72 yds

Against BG - Harold Fanin 8 rec/ 145 yds 1TD, Jamal Johnson 5 rec/ 34yds

Against FL- Chimere Dike 6rec/ 91 yds 1 TD, Elijah Badger 5 rec/ 94 yds 1 TD

This bodes well for our dynamic duo of Wease and Burden A&M secondary seems to not be able to hold up against the oppositions passing attack.

Wease goes for 120yds and Burden gets 2TDs and over 80yds receiving!

4. For as poor as they have been in pass coverage they have made up for it in Rush defense. The last 3 games they (A&M) have not had a RB to eclipse the 50yd mark. The most yards being 42 by Bowling Green's Terion Stewart. There is no way in hell they keep Noel under 50yds as a matter of fact I say that Noel gets 100yds+in this game and Carroll has at least 50yds of his own.

5. ATM relies heavily on the rushing attack for its offense.

Marcel Reed is used as a dual threat normally and can be as dangerous passing and rushing. It will be important that our defense can control Le'Veon Moss. To make for a good defensive day we need to keep A&M under 70 yds rushing on the day

6. It would also help that the D-line amass 6 TFLs and at least 8 QB Hurries to help control the pace of the game.

7. Mizzou gets at least 2 TOs

8. Mizzou wins 31- 17 and are 5-0 and #7 in the new CFP

9. SEC nation is in flux because they have to mention Mizzou in the upper echelon of the SEC !

As per usual this is for enjoymentand promoting conversation around the team. The opinions are mine alone. Please enjoy and let the commenting begin.

Anyone who has been before care to share things that they enjoyed or to avoid?

We are staying at the Homewood just west of campus. Currently unsure if we are taking tailgating supplies or just coolers and going to join in. If anyone is going and planning something food wise I know 15 guys/gals that would happily pitch in.

We are headed that way Friday afternoon and spending the weekend. So food, drink, and sight seeing requests are all welcome.

Still behind Miami

All of them look pretty mediocre. If we play well at all we should beat all of them. UMass and Mississippi State are both pretty bad so those should be wins as well. We should win a minimum of 10 games as long as we don’t play well below our potential like we did vs Vanderbilt. And honestly I think Vanderbilt is probably better than most of our remaining opponents.

Annihilates Fresno State.

If we find out our fate tonight by any other way then an open letter I have to ask: what’s it’s all been for?

Is it best to scoop a public parking pass off 3rd party site? All experiences welcome.

And then our defense plays solid to dominant--bend but don't break defense or better-the rest of the game and we surrender 20 points to a bad A and M offensive team. If the real Brady Cook and passing game shows up I don't see how we don't pull away and beat the crap out of these guys. It shouldn't be a game. The offense was literally sleep walking through Vandy. No more excuses. Game 5. Coming off a bye. If we look like we did against Vandy then this isn't the season. I would expect the offense to come out and play a statement game. It think we roll. #MIZ

They have a chance to end the Ole Miss season. Could be glorious. And they had a bye week to prepare while Lane and Co. were in a rock fight with the Wildcats. When SC gets the W, giving Lane and Co their 2nd loss, I fully expect us to own the tie-breaker after we get the W in the other Columbia on Nov 16th. #MIZ

I do know this. Kyle Field is a helluva tough place to play. Crowd will be a huge factor. Lucky this is an 11 o’clock kickoff and not a night game. Take any kind of win and run to the plane.

With this and SEC Nation there will at least be a few more eyeballs than normal on Mizzou this weekend

We've covered Mizzou's win over Vandy from every angle. Here's my take on the rest of what happened this week:

1) If there's a better way to start a weekend than a dose of Husker Humble Pie I don't know what it is. Maybe Illinois is just really good. I do think Bret Bielema is a good coach. But also, maybe Nebraska is, again, not back. The Huskers dropped an overtime home game to Illinois in which they backed up all the way to their own side of midfield in the OT period. Dylan Raiola was pretty good...until he had to be. Then he turned into a freshman making his fourth career start. Nebraska has a pretty certain win over Purdue left and pretty certain losses to Ohio State and USC. Those games leave them 4-3. To get to their first bowl game in a decade, they'll need to win two of these games: Rutgers, Indiana, UCLA, Wisconsin, Iowa. They'll probably do it. But the ceiling on this season looks to be eight wins in Lincoln. The Illini is off to a nice start, but has three games against top 20 teams remaining and probably caps out around 8-4 as well.

2) If there's a better way to follow that up than Kansas coughing up a lead in the final 30 seconds, I don't know what it is. The Jayhawks lost to West Virginia 32-28 on a touchdown pass with 26 seconds to go. A season that started with talk of the playoff now sees Kansas sitting 1-3 without many certain wins left on the schedule. Missing a bowl game is a real possibility. You hate to see it. You really do.

3) If there's a better way to finish your college football weekend than watching Kansas State no show and melt down at BYU, I don't know what it is. A comedy in three acts:

4) For good measure, Oklahoma is who we thought they were. The Sooners did virtually nothing on offense and sent Jackson Arnold to the bench in the first half of a 25-15 loss to Tennessee that wasn't that close. The Sooners appeared fine with letting Dillon Gabriel walk to Oregon because they had so much confidence in his replacement. That replacement has led OU to go a grand total of 65 points in the last three weeks with more than half of them coming against Tulane and now he might not even start next week. Just I don't go all nanny-nanny-boo-boo in this edition of the thoughts, love him or hate him, this one was pretty cool for Josh Heupel and it was fun to see him show some actual emotion.

5) Don't look now but the Buffalo Bulls are 3-1 on the season. Two of the wins are over nobodies, but yesterday the Bulls beat Northern Illinois--the same NIU that beat Notre Dame two weeks ago--23-20 in overtime on the road. It's not going to be the determining factor for whether Mizzou makes the playoff or anything, but every win their opponents can get is a little feather in Mizzou's cap. Good win for Buffalo, bad, bad result for the Fighting Irish, who I remain convinced should not be any part of the playoff conversation, but probably will be until they lose again.

6) It's weird to say the defending national champions pulled an upset at home, but it happened. Michigan was about a touchdown underdog to USC, let most of the way, blew it and then came back to win 27-24 with a 10-play, 89-yard drive that was capped by a one-yard TD run with 37 seconds to play. New starting quarterback Alex Orji had the following stat line: 7/12 for 32 yards. There are a lot of ways to win a football game and Michigan found one. Welcome to life in the Big Ten, Lincoln Riiley.

7) This might be the most hilarious play in college football history:

I am speechless. I am without speech.

8) Mack Brown hired former Georgia Tech head coach Geoff Collins as his defensive coordinator before the season. Geoff Collins is a pretty good defensive coordinator. Saturday was...not a good day.

James Madison led this game 53-21...at halftime. The Dukes had 611 yards of offense. Tar Heel QB Jacolby Criswell threw for 475 yards and three touchdowns and wasn't the best quarterback in the game. That was JMU's Alonza Barnett, who had 388 and five touchdowns (and no interceptions vs two for Criswell).

Oof.

9) It's early to hand out the Heisman Trophy, but I don't know how anyone is going to take it away from Travis Hunter. Colorado isn't particularly good and I'm not all that impressed that the Buffs beat Baylor. I am WILDLY impressed with Hunter.

Login to view embedded media
Hunter is averaging 9.3 receptions for 118 yards a game and has five touchdowns on offense. He has 14 tackles, two PBU's two TFLs, a forced fumble and an interception on defense. He has played 258 snaps on offense and 265 snaps on defense. You cannot make any sort of a coherent argument there is a better player in college football.

10) Five games I'll watch next week with Mizzou on a bye:

Oklahoma State at Kansas State, TBD Saturday: Both are 0-1 in the Big 12. The loser is probably out of the conference title race (and thus the playoff picture).

Oklahoma at Auburn, 2:30 Saturday, ABC: The Sooners should win this game. Auburn isn't good. But life on the road in the SEC is almost never easy especially when you struggle to score.

Arkansas vs Texas A&M, 2:30 Saturday, ESPN: I don't think either team is great, but I think both can be dangerous. The winner is 4-1. Mizzou plays both, including the Aggies the week after this one.

Louisville at Notre Dame, 2:30 Saturday, Peacock: I think the Cardinals are the most logical challenger to Miami in the ACC. And I'd like to end this Notre Dame playoff junk.

Georgia at Alabama, 6:30 Saturday, ABC: Game of the year in the SEC so far. Probably in the country.

Just a reminder 🤣😆😂🏈

Boy am I glad that’s over…

I am looking for 4-5 ou tickets. Let me know how much
