FOOTBALL WHAT DRINKWITZ SAID ON TIGER TALK EPISODE 4

Thinks practice went well. There's a competitive spirit amongst this team that you can only get better in practice. He thinks the players responded.

Tre'Vez did a 60/40 lean so he baited the quarterback on his interception. Apparently, a staple of safeties coach Jacob Yoro.

A lot of confidence is swelling in Blake Craig. Drink joked that he'd like the "Thinner Kicker" as a nickname for Craig.

Luke Bauer lost his dad over the summer.

Team has mental help professionals and player-only bible study on Fridays. Attiyah Ellison and Evan Boehm are also a big help when players are dealing with heavy off-the-field things.

"Defense is about 11 people together performing. If you have one person to break down then you can get a deep play." Boston College got Mizzou on a motion that led to a TD.

Thinks Noel and Carroll played well. Thinks OL and WRs need to do better at sustaining blocks, specifically backside blocks and perimeter blocks.

Thinks LB3 did well on the game-sealing third-down reception. He had plenty of big plays.

He's one of the best players in CFB and now that's on tape so people are going to try and get the best of him. But he can take coaching because Drink essentially cursed him out on national TV and he said, 'Yes sir.'

Said the game vs Vandy will be a dogfight. Pointed out how UK lost to SCAR and then almost beat UGA last week. So, can't take

Called Vandy QB Diego Pavia a fullback playing quarterback. Called him sneaky fast. Linebackers are going to need another big day.

Marquis Gracial was ranked high because of his size. He played TE, OL and DT in high school. Mizzou knew it would have to put in a lot of work to help him get to where he is now. But Gracial has also put in a lot of work to get to where he is now being in the rotation.

DT room has gone from a question mark to a strength of the defense.

FOOTBALL The Florida board is interesting

They are all in on making a new hire... of course that means $26mil in retirement payments to Billy Napier.
One of the mods is suggesting they need to gut the Athletic Department and start over. He might not be wrong. It sounds like they are WAY behind in upgrades and NIL living in the shadows of their former AD Foley.
One of the posters had an interesting Top 10 which did not, btw, include one Eliah Drinkwitz. #3 on the list caught my eye.
Would Lincoln Riley take the Florida job? First thought was no, but IF they gutted the Athletic Department and got their NIL together, it would be enticing, because he currently has a lot of the same problems at USC as they currently have at Florida.
Florida President probably calling DRF as we speak.

GAME THREAD Parking lot issue

Anyone have parking lot issues yesterday. Have a parking pass for Lot H (Been in that lot for over 50 years), arrived 20 minutes before kickoff, and was told by a young lady parking lot attendant that there were no spaces. There were several cars behind me so I would think they were going to have an issue too. Parking attendant said if I could find a spot in a grass area in the lot to just go ahead and try to park there. Did do that. My question is are lot attendants not enforcing the need to have a parking pass or is the greedy Athletic Department overselling parking passes? Either way, not happy about this!

FOOTBALL BenFred: Florida should have Mizzou’s Eli Drinkwitz on wish list. Doesn’t mean Gators get him.

Good Column. Points out a lot of things this board has said too. Found this part interesting:

"Also worth mentioning: The last guy to leave the Mizzou football program despite determined attempts to keep him was former defensive coordinator Blake Baker, who convinced himself he would do bigger, better things at LSU. Update: LSU through three games is giving up the 14th-most total yards per game in the SEC, and that includes letting winless Southland opponent Nicholls score 21. If LSU hadn’t come back to beat South Carolina this weekend, LSU fans would be dreaming up Brian Kelly replacements."
