Burst pipe, looks expensive. Hopefully you guys can see the pics.

In the olden days, this was a board of true sons who wore the moniker of “Tiger fan” with pride. The times have changed and the forum has evolved, but I wish my fellow Mizzou brethren a Merry Christmas snd Happy New Year!

We are a lonesome lot who live snd die by the success of our sports teams and the success of our beloved university. May 2023 see our teams successful and our pride rewarded!

I have two tickets for the Kentucky game next week. Section 113 row 27. $50/each

17 tackles today, just damn! Well done sir!

ESPN tag line has him going to BYU, not that he was coming here anyway

Seems obvious Jeffcoat is gone. Based on what I've seen and heard it seems likely to me Darius Robinson is as well. Here are the questions:

1) What happens with Ty'Ron Hopper and Jaylon Carlies? This is the most important thing, at least defensively
2) How many running backs leave? If you play RB and your name is not Cody Schrader, there's a decent chance you're looking at the portal. We'll see who stays and who goes.
3) What's the plan at QB? I tend to agree with the crowd that says if it's Brady Cook, you're looking at another year very similar to this one. I just don't know how much more there is there. How ready to they think Sam Horn is and how much do they trust that evaluation? Do they go after a transfer? If Cook isn't starting will he stay? So many moving parts here, glad it's my job to ask the questions and not answer them.
4) What happens coaching staff wise? They've already lost one. I'd be stunned if they don't lose more. The shuffling has been pretty constant here for the last three years. Who goes and who stays and most importantly who does he hire to replace those who go?
5) Can you win the portal again? This time mostly on the offensive line. If not, I'm not sure the rest of the questions matter much.
6) What's good enough next year? I'm gonna write some about this Monday in the ten thoughts, but just putting it out there for you guys to discuss

7 seasons, 2 coaches and multiple athletic directors.

5 of the 7 seasons were +/- 1 from .500. The outliers were win totals of 4 and 8.

2022 was merely what Mizzou football has been without a hall of fame coach on the sidelines.

Seats are section 116 row 9 seats 1&2.

My youngest (of 5) still believes in Santa. Dude just turned off the fireplace before he went up to bed.

Merry Christmas, fam!

Even with the loss last night, pretty damn impressive to get this team to a bowl game with the OL and QB woes.

He's stacking up talent in his recruiting classes that will continue to make us better, especially once his QB's get incorporated. The OL is a problem area he needs to find a solution for but he made the hires needed & found the right players to improve the D so you have to think he'll figure out a fix for the OL as well.

Agree we need an OC but Horn should make a huge difference compared to this year...Brady plays hard but just doesn't see the field well. Drink needs to give Horn the keys now that he has a year in the system and let's see where this thing goes!

The future feels very promising!

Fans whose majority of football experience is playing Madden on Xbox in their parents basements continue to beat a dead horse saying Drink is stupid and is intentionally playing Cook for some unknown reason over Horn and are not aware of the issues at Oline. For gods sake every Player on every play is filmed from multiple angles and graded for every play For assignment, execution, and effort. They spend hundreds of hours in practice with the players. Practice is filmed and graded. They know what the fffing issues are. The question is can they fix it. Last year they tried to get every big name QB in the portal. If Horn deserved to start, he would have. It’s ridiculous to think coaches are intentionally putting players who don’t deserve to start in the the lineup. Their main oline transfer got ruled ineligible. Probably one of the only players out of a 1000 to get ruled ineligible to transfer. When Drink figures out what he needs to do in the off-season to keep his job paying him Millions I promise they will be trying to figure out what needs to be done at QB and OL. They will investigate the portal, they will try to get Horn and Cook better, and they will see how fast the freshman can adjust to college football. On the offensive line Reichert is the first 4 star since 2015 I believe. Missouri has historically recruited 3 stars and had to develop them. A legitimate question is whether the player development on oline has fallen apart or whether the 3 stars they recruited were misses. He has to fix the player development at oline and he needs the portal to address the depth issue at Oline. It’s the biggest issue. The other Major issue is the percentage of high level starters they are losing on defense. Instead of constantly being negative try being positive and say thanks to players like Cook, Schroeder, Bailey, and Bannister who gave it every thing they could last night to win that game.

Doesn't mean anything cause its just one picture but I thought it was kind of funny. Mosley is back left and he looks real thrilled about the victory. Hard to really blame him though, obviously I'm sure he wants to play.

As you guys are reacting to a meaningless bowl game, just listen. The team has gotten better. While the results aren’t there yet, it looks a lot better below the surface.

SP+ Results year by year
2020: 68th
2021: 69th
2022: 45th

Yes, we need a QB. Yes, we need an OL. Yes, we need better offensive playcalling, but the talent is improving, and the team is growing. The results will come. Just believe.

I think some of the lamest stuff ever is hopping on public forums bashing your team, coaches and players. I have no problem with people airing out their feelings on PM because this is a private message board. But when I see parents of players and Mizzou fans bashing Mizzou family in public that irks my soul.

Nothing good comes from that type of behavior. I'll support you in public and get on your ass behind closed doors. That's why Goodman made the comment he made the other day. Folks were on Twitter ready to fire HCDG and blow up the whole team after the ku debacle, only to stick their chest out the next week. And idgaf if other fan bases do it, somebody has to be better and different. Enjoy y'all holidays and be safe...

@GabeD ... will PFF publish performance grades for the bowl game? There is one grade I am curious about, Drake Heismeyer. It seemed that he had no issues snapping the ball (save for the miscommunication snap on Missouri's first TD, nice reaction from Cook) and it seemed as if the running game improved a bit also.

This seems like a very Mizzou reason to still not have a dedicated OC at this point.

Repeat of Bragging rights game for anyone needing a pick me up after last night.

Don’t think there was ever real interest from Mizzou. Believe that was bad info from the Pitt side

Terrible job at the 24 second end of 1st half! Failed to spike ball after making first down-no brained!

Quick story on the news: https://missouri.rivals.com/news/steve-wilks-leaving-mizzou-to-return-to-the-nfl

1.) Missouri won third down, fourth down and turnovers (and still lost)

More times than not if a team wins third down, fourth down and the turnover battle then it should win. Missouri went 8 of 19 on third down, converted a couple of fourth downs and both teams had one turnover, but Wake Forest’s turnover led to a touchdown drive. Having nine penalties for 85 yards and allowing four sacks, 10 tackles for loss and fumbling three times (one lost) doesn’t help. The secondary getting ripped to shreds underneath doesn’t either. Usually, it’s details like this that make or break a game. Missouri did the details better and still lost.

2.) Mizzou missed defensive starters

Predictably, Mizzou not having starting defensive ends Isaiah McGuire, DJ Coleman, Trajan Jeffcoat, DJ Coleman and safety Martez Manuel hurt. Missouri did limit Wake Forest to just 20 points even though it came into the game averaging nearly 37 points per game. The defense recorded two sacks and four tackles for loss, but allowed almost 400 yards of total offense.

The secondary was thought to be probably the best position group on this team entering the game and it struggled the most, despite only missing one starter compared to three on the defensive line. The drive after Mizzou took the lead, Wake Forest quarterback Sam Hartman walked the defense down with three passes for 65 yards and a touchdown on a four-play, 75-yard drive. That would be the go-ahead score. Wake Forest wide receiver AT Perry had 11 receptions for 116 yards and Jahmal Banks had three receptions for 72 yards and a touchdown. The quick curls, out routes and drag routes just punished the secondary time and time again.

3.) Offensive line is in rough shape

The offensive line of Javon Foster, Xavier Delgado, Connor Tollison, Connor Wood and Armand Membou had played together in the last three games and they seemed to be playing well, but it wasn’t that way in the first quarter. It didn’t last too much beyond that because Wood was carted off the field towards the end of the first and Tollison was helped to the sideline early in the second quarter. Four first-quarter rushing yards and on six carries is pretty bad. The team rushed for 125 yards for the game. Walters replaced Wood and almost immediately committed a false start and later committed a hold on the first play of the last drive of the first half. He finished the game with three penalties. This offensive line is bad. Really bad. But this game wasn't the game that told you that. It just confirms that the offensive line needs to be revamped in the offseason.
