in ticket prices at least at Tennessee.


As reported by ESPN, the University of Tennessee, as part of its future plans for revenue-sharing with players in 2025, will tack a 10 percent "Talent Fee" onto the ticket prices. The university announced this in an email to football season-ticket holders this week, complete with a video from athletic director Danny White, in which he describes the new fee as "part of an extensive plan to continue our dominance in college athletics and build something like never seen before."

The 10 percent fee applies to both season tickets and single game tickets, but along with that, the university plans to add an average increase of 4.5 percent on all football ticket prices. And they point to NIL as being responsible for the markup:

"In this era of name, image and likeness (NIL), there has never been as close a connection between resources and competitive success. We want to be a leader in college sports. That means we want to be a leader in revenue sharing."

With this comes the first domino in how universities plan to pass the buck onto their fanbase and taxpayers. Never mind the fact that in 2023, the football program specifically netted the school $134.9 million in revenue and $75 million in profit. This trend will allow for schools to try and maximize their own profits, even as athletes eat into their pie.

I have just clicked on several links and even the front page and get error messages. Anyone else having issues accessing other areas of the site?

what we were doing offensively at all times. I believe this is the reason we were hesitant, why Brady looked slow on those designed runs, the 3rd-and-1s were stuffed, etc.

Even on Noel’s 66-yarder, they had a good call: they brought a safety up on a run blitz but he plugged the same gap as a teammate, leaving Nate the hole he chose.

Did we have a single wide open receiver? Not that I saw on TV (maybe Burden’s first TD). Even when it appeared Brady missed an open Burden for a TD, Stinch pointed out on replay that the safety stayed home in centerfield until Brady threw left.

Hats off to Vandy, but whoa, need to make some adjustments here.

Look I doubt College Station is the answer but, uh, look at that schedule for the day. Very likely Mizzou/TAMU is the only ranked vs ranked matchup of the day

Uhhh what?!

Are we going to lose both to Florida, or do they suck so bad they should be fired?

Couldn’t watch the game yesterday, so watched a replay today specifically looking at Cook and the offense after seeing so much negativity yesterday. With that said, here are some MatyMaukApologist opinions (some of which have been said and some I don’t think have).

On Cook:

-Cook made very few legitimately bad throws all night. I counted three, one early in the first half where he airmailed a wide open Wease and two where he didn’t catch the DE dropping back into coverage and the throws were batted down (one should’ve been picked).

-Many of his incompletions downfield were not perfect throws, but catchable balls thrown into tight windows. LB3 got turned around on one over his head that should’ve been caught. Many others were pretty good placement considering the coverage and he put it only where his receivers could get it.

-He was generally very good when plays broke down. Hit his check downs a handful of times, escaped the pocket and avoided sacks throughout the night, and when nobody was open he would intentionally throw the ball at a receivers feet or slightly OB to avoid an INT or intentional grounding call. Very good job avoiding sacks, penalties or turnovers - definitely an underrated trait.

On general gameplay:

-Run design needs to be entirely re-tooled. Noel is quick and good at hitting holes which covers up a lot of missed opportunities. Run plays are often telegraphed with no misdirection. The entire line will push one way, and the ball always ends up going that way. Further, there are almost never any option plays where Cook has the option to keep, which is a huge mistake considering his mobility (either that or he just never thinks to keep it). I counted one time where he kept the ball on an option play and he slipped trying to get around the tackles but otherwise would’ve had some yards. The defense is able to sell out on handoffs and linebackers cheat up every time. This burned the offense on a couple third and shorts, and I think contributes to the inability to finish drives in the red zone with touchdowns. This will only get worse deeper in SEC play.

-Further, designed QB runs are uninspiring. I counted two or three QB draws with an empty backfield - why not keep an RB on Cook’s side to create a potential threat of Cook pitching or at least add a blocker? Every time there was a QB draw Vandy’s defense sold out on Cook and ate it up.

-Going back to third and short, does Moore even have a playbook for going under center? Handoffs from the shotgun are easy for the defense to track and, going back to the lack of creativity in play design, make it very easy for the defense to sell out on the run. Also, every time Carroll comes into the game in these situations it’s obvious it’s going to be a handoff inside,

-Offense did a good job limiting penalties. There was an illegal formation called on a very late snap in the first drive, but otherwise was pretty disciplined.

-Special teams had a few unforced errors. Craig’s kicking woes are already well documented but a couple other silly mistakes cost Mizzou field position. Speedy completely mishandled a kickoff so that drive started on Mizzou’s two yard line. LB3 had one or two good punt returns get called back as well - albeit one of them was a questionable block in the back called on Roberts.

If you have tickets message me here or text or call me at , (573) 228-1915.

This team, including the coaching staff needs to get back to playing and coaching like they have have Something to Prove instead of playing like they have Something to Lose. They just beat a good Top 25 ACC team and a much improved SEC team and dropped 6 spots in the AP Poll. Use that as motivation to get back to the mindset it's them against the World, bcuz it looks like the pollsters can't wait for Mizzou to lose a game and drop them so far down in the polls they'll never climb back in the Top 12 and a playoff game. Play for the W and each other and don't worry about personal stats. Put that foot on the gas pedal and don't take it off.

*It's a good thing to be able to win with your C game. That has something to do with Missouri's talent level and expectation, but more to do with the competition. It's nice to be able to win with your C game but you better not count on it continuing. If all you play is your C game, eventually you accept that it's your A game.

*For all the blame on Brady Cook (and it's deserved) and Toriano Pride (it was deserved on that play) and Blake Craig (deserved) and the OL (deserved) the biggest fault today lies with the head coach. He was dreadful. There is no explanation for what he did at the end of the first half. There is no logical explanation for what he did at the end of regulation. That game should not have gone to overtime. It did because Eli Drinkwitz gave Vanderbilt three points. Just handed them to them. Take those away, that game's over in regulation. It's ugly and nobody's proud of it, but you win in regulation and don't need Vandy to gag a 31 yard field goal to do it. Absolutely dreadful today on the sideline (I can quibble with some playcalling too, but I don't feel like that's totally fair without watching the game and getting a better idea).

Drink's done a very good job here. He has some clock management and game day snafus, but everybody does. Today was the worst game I think he's coached in four and a half years. His team still won. And to his credit, he owned every bit of it postgame. Every question was "We, starting with me, have to be better." Two people started to ask a question at the same time and he said "Hang on, this guy was asking about the end of the first half" and he said this

He's right. Admitting it out loud doesn't make it go away or improve the grade (I know what Jarod is giving the coaching and its the absolute ceiling for what I'd give it). But it does show the awareness that he had a bad day. We all have bad days. Nobody should get fired over one. If it's the exception, it will be forgotten relatively soon. I give Drink a lot of credit for owning it. It's a sign of maturation as a coach. But, oof, it was bad.

All of our stuff from today is on the front page. Grade card, snap counts and updated rankings in the morning. We'll have some stuff this week, but it will be a little lighter due to the fact it's an off week and we likely won't have any regular media opportunities. But we'll still be around. The next week is the first truly big game of the year and we'll be covering it with an absolute vengeance. Good time for a slow week for the players, the coaches, the fans and ourselves.

Is officially a problem. Sorry for those that don’t want to recognize it.

Kickoff is at 315. We'll have the tailgate set up by 1130. It's going to end at 2. Things will start being packed up then so the organizers can get into the game before kickoff. If you think your'e going to show up 45 minutes before kickoff and eat and drink, you'll be disappointed. Plan accordingly.

We are going to be set up in Lot P in the grassy area on the southeast corner of Mizzou Arena. We will be marked by a Yuengling Flight tent. Beverages and coozies will be provided. If you want something different to drink, bring your own. We'll have wings and pulled pork while they last. If you want something else to eat, make arrangements.

Hope to be able to arrange some athletic department guests to stop by as we have in the past. Hope to see you all there. Always a good time to catch up with people you haven't seen for a while, meet some new ones and have some good food and drink before the game. No RSVP necessary. We're bringing what we are bringing and when it's gone it's gone. Hope to see you all there. Direct any questions to me or @MizzouRah21 in the replies here.

First 5 games of 2023: 74.4% completion, 294 yards per game, 11 TD, 0 INT
Last 8: 63.7% completion, 236 YPG, 10 TD, 6 INT

The last eight games were pretty much exactly in line with his 2022 performance: 64.8% completion, 210 YPG, 14 TDs, 7 INT

And that's largely been the case again this year. He's a game manager who is feeling the pressure (whether from himself, their playcalling, or something else) to be more than that.

There were a couple interesting notes in this RockM about their playcalling/attempts thus far that maybe lends to Brady's struggles:

- Attempting about half as many screens (usually a big way to get Luther touches)
- Slight decrease from last year in play action attempts
- Increase in throwing in the middle of the field 10+ yards (the area they target the least in Kirby/Drink's system)
- Last year he attempted 21 total passes between the hashes beyond 10 yards. He's already thrown 11 through 4 games and only completed 3 of them (none beyond 20 yards)

I have to admit, old habits die hard, and I am getting a bit of entertainment from Jayhawker fan reactions. They went into the season with hopes of a Big 12 title and CFP spot. They are 1-3, with three consecutive losses in games they led going into the 4th quarter, including the game this last weekend in which they went up on West Virginia by 11 with 5:39 left.

There is a lot of belly-aching about Brady here. There, Jalon Daniels was Athlon's preseason all-conference QB. He is completing only 56% of his passes and with 7 picks against 4 TD throws.
