I know its another site, but the composite roster talent is out, and Mizzou ranks 19th overall (last year was 25th) and ranks 10th in the SEC. Just shows Drink has done an incredible job building this team through recruiting and transfer portal.

Top 25 Breakdown
SEC: 13
Big 10: 6
ACC: 5 and Notre Dame

Big 12: 0, highest is TCU at 28

ku is 49, while Vandy is 50 which is the lowest SEC team

I'm going to count down the top 25 Mizzou football players of the last 25 years (so No. 1 will be posted the day before Mizzou vs Murray State).

They seem to really be high on Bama and Ole Miss to get at-large spots. Hmmmm. Not sure I agree with them. Really hammer us on the SOS.

The first PowerMizzou recruiting trip of the season will be taking place Thursday and Friday of this week.

I’ll be staying in the Chesterfield area of St. Louis, so drop some food suggestions in this thread

Maybe I’ll take you up on your suggestions, or maybe I’ll just go to Applebee’s depending on my mood 😉

As most know, the parking permit transfer is quite easy. Thanks Jason 417-839-7441

"Matrix Midwest, launched by Gray Media in tandem with Channel 4 (KMOV-TV) will be freely available locally as channel 32 — channel 186 on Spectrum/Charter — and include a new pre- and post-game show for Mizzou football games this season."

The answer, of course, is really just a matter of taste. I.e., are we optimizing to see the best 12 teams in a playoff or to make it more inclusive, even if it results in really good teams sitting at home and a bunch of playoff blowouts.

But in the discussion in Gabe's "TEN THOUGHTS," I suggested that giving the Big 12 an auto-bid and bye in the playoffs was more like giving a AAA team a bye into the Divisional round of the MLB playoffs than it was giving the NFC West a playoff spot and supported that opinion with the assertion that the talent disparity is so great that somewhere between 9 or 12 SEC teams would be favored to win the Big 12.

I added-up the last four recruiting classes. Of course this is not equal to the current rosters but this was easier to compile. The results are pretty staggering, so I thought I'd share.

Total 4 and 5 stars signed in the four classes from 2021-2024:
UTAH 17, TCU 16, TTU 14, UCF 13, WVU 11, UA 10, OKST/COL 9, ASU 7, ISU/HOU/BYU 6, BAY/kU 5, CIN 4, KSU 3
BAMA 93, UGA 77, TAMU 71, LSU 66, OU 62, TEX 60, UF 49, AUB 42, TENN 39, OLE MISS 34, MIZ 23

All 16 "Big 12" have 141 vs. 616 for only these 11 SEC teams
The worst of these 11 SEC (MIZ) is better than the best of the Big 12 (UTAH)
MIZ has as many as the bottom 5 Big 12 schools *combined*
The five Big 8 teams (CU, OKST, ISU, kU, KSU) have 32 total
It was surprising to me how poorly the Pac 12 schools have recruited. They fit in well here.

I think Big 12 football is going to be fun as hell to watch. I just don't think they should automatically be included at the expense of the 11th or 12th ranked team in the country and certainly don't think they deserve a bye for playing these schedules.

The latest right here:

Did anyone buy A&M tickets that can't go? Looking for 4. If not, what section(s) is the Mizzou section(s).

Alas, a topic for most astute skeptics. Missourians and skepticism kinda go hand in hand, thus the "Show-Me State" moniker for this wonderful state. Phrases like, "Time will tell" or " I gotta see it to believe it" , all carry the same sentiment Talk all your talk, but at the end of the day, let's see the results. To be "Mr or Ms. Show Me State", in terms of Mizzou sports, you have to be high profile player or coach who were below average the previous season and has to prove themselves the upcoming season. Who's on the hot seat, who do we expect to take the next step or who needs to replaced on the depth chart yet overwhelmingly redeems themselves at the end of their season? Who wins the hearts and minds of fanbase after exceeding expectations. This may be the wrong phrase but , who goes from "zero to hero" in one calender year?

I thought of this topic after reminding myself how far Brady Cook has grown as a QB after last preseason's vitriol . This guy deservingly had skeptics after his 22' season. His critics were loud and wanted to be heard. He had a lot to prove and he did just that. He went from getting boo' d to earning the respect of almost every Mizzou fan by season's end. Total redemption story! Forged by self- determination while being fueled by in-state skepticism and critics. This honor is reserved for Mr. Show Me State.

Last year's candidates on my list would have been:

1. Coach Drinkwitz - Hot seat warming, needed wins to catch up to his talk and recruiting .
2. Brady Cook- see above. experienced below .500 local 3 star QB vs nationally touted 4 star QB recruit.
3. Luther Burden - talented but struggled as a freshman at times. Unknown position change was looming. Show me 5 star results.

Brady had the most to prove and proved the most. Drink had plenty to prove, but was never publicly ostracized like Cook was. So I gave Cook the edge and title after last year..

Top six: Arkansas, kansas, BYU, Kentucky, Indiana, K-State

For those interested, here is a little history. From the article:

Aristotle observed, "Men regard it as their right to return evil for evil – and, if they cannot, feel they have lost their liberty." Shakespeare wrote, “If you prick us do we not bleed? If you tickle us do we not laugh? If you poison us do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?” But perhaps no-one stated the motivation of Quantrill more eloquently than a subordinate who described his commander as, “favoring the old dispensation to the new, that is, the gospel of Moses to that of Jesus Christ.” Quantrill decided that it would an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
