Hypothetical

Whose still got their team in? Lamar shut out Holden setting up a rematch with Seneca, Lamar's only loss this year. Can't remember the last time we were the same class and met in the playoffs. It will be a HUGE game in Lamar, with the history between these two conference foes!!!

@Gabe. Gabe have you heard if Baker has any aspirations to be a head coach. Has he ever been interviewed for a HC in the past? He is what 3-4 years older than when Drink got his first HC job. Or you see him being a career asst

I bought season tickets this year for basketball in hopes that my four year old son would love it. He doesn’t.

So now I can’t enjoy the games at Mizzou arena cause I have to stay at home with the fam.

I have 2 in section 113 row 16 seats 1 and 2.

They’re priced to sell.

Does anybody want them here before I go to the secondary market?

Lincoln Riley is the real deal and I’m glad he isn’t going to be in the SEC. I love how he goes for it on 4th down constantly. It will be common at some point, he is just ahead of the game.

Take the Liberty Bowl bid. Beat the beakers on December 10th at home in front of a, finally again, crazy crowd. Fill Mizzou Arena AND the stands in Memphis on the same day. Beat the beakers and Kensucky in the same day and finally restore pride. Step up and be a fanbase or stop crying. I’ve been a season ticket holder, TQB board member and I’m tired of the projection of what might be best. Step up and show it. Athletic Department, coaches, players and mostly FANS. STEP UP and prove something or just stop crying.

FOOTBALL RECRUITING

No visitors are expected this weekend, but there are notable visits that are coming together for Missouri over the last two weekends before the early signing period on December 21st.

For now, here are the names we know will be coming in and we'll continue to update them as we get confirmation.

Weekend of Dec. 9th:

Shamar McNeil, CB, American Heritage (Fla.) **commit** - Visited Missouri during the summer unofficially, where he committed. Took a late season visit to Miami (Fla.), but no indication the Hurricanes are a serious threat at the moment.

Weekend of Dec. 16th:

Andrew Armstrong, WR transfer, Texas A&M Commerce - Coming off a huge year - 62 catches, 1,020 yards, 13 TD's - will take an official visit to Arkansas the weekend of Dec. 9th before he comes to Missouri.

Jordon Harris, TE, Pine Bluff (Ark.) - Visited Missouri earlier in the season for the Vanderbilt game, where he picked up an offer from the Tigers. Before he comes back to Columbia for an official, he'll take one to Vanderbilt on Dec. 9th.

CJ Johnson, S, Paetow (Tex.) - Picked up an offer from Missouri on October 17th. Has taken a summer official to Boston College and one to Louisville in late October.

- Aside from McNeil, other Missouri commitments that will likely come in this month for their officials include WR Daniel Blood, LB Brayshawn Littlejohn, LB Triston Newson, K Blake Craig, DL Jahkai Lang, and CB Phillip Roche.

- We previously mentioned Andrew Armstrong, who has an official scheduled with Missouri for Dec. 16th. Missouri has also offered a couple of new transfer prospects this week in former South Florida WR Jimmy Horn and Rhode Island OL Ajani Cornelius.

Horn appeared in 23 games for the Bulls, hauling in 67 passes for 959 yards and four touchdowns. He was also productive in the return game, tallying 323 yards on 16 kickoff returns. Pitt, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, Penn State are other teams that have offered so far.

Cornelius is a multi-season starter at tackle and All-Conference performer. He's picked up over 16 offers since entering the portal on Tuesday.

*The portal is largely going to be something that develops over the next week or two. A lot of players that will be in it are not officially in it yet. Here is a list of players who have stated they intend to enter the portal that Eli Drinkwitz is now following on social media. Obviously this doesn't mean Missouri is for sure targeting these prospects, but it's an indication they're worth keeping an eye on.

Theo Wease
Kyle Morlock
Jake Renfro
James Jointer
Elijah Jeudy
JQ Hardaway
Avery Helm
Drake Metcalf

Here's what we think Mizzou probably needs in the portal:

Running Back
Tight End
Offensive line (2+)
Wide Receiver
Defensive End (2+)
Cornerback
Quarterback (?) -- We don't know which way this one is going to go. We've tried to ask around. Nobody is saying anything. After the way last offseason went it wouldn't be a surprise if Missouri tried to keep its QB activity relatively quiet.

Some of that is obviously going to depend on who leaves. There's a lot that could happen over the next few weeks. Mizzou has already had nine players enter the portal. Yesterday was quiet. We expect there to be more portal entrants. It officially opens on Monday. Announcements could really come at any time. And just because an announcement doesn't happen Monday doesn't mean it won't happen. The portal is open for 45 days. So any time up until January 20, a player can decide to enter the portal. We'd expect most of it to happen some time before the end of the calendar year, but you never know.

The other impact on the roster will be the NFL Draft. Here are the players that we believe could declare that haven't already: Darius Robinson, Ty'Ron Hopper, Jaylon Carlies, Kris Abrams-Draine. We haven't heard much of anything on Robinson. We've been told in the last few days that the latter three are all leaning toward entering the draft. Obviously, it can change. Nothing is final. This is just what we've heard in the last few days. In other words, it's very realistic Missouri could lose more than half of its starting defense in the coming weeks (the only starters we're definitely confident at this point will be back next year are Chad Bailey, Joseph Charleston and Kristian Williams).

It's going to be a little bit of a roller coaster. If emotional stability isn't your thing, considering yourself warned.

BASKETBALL RECRUITING

We can definitely confirm that Kris Parker will make an official visit this weekend. He's flying to Columbia on Saturday and should be here through the game on Sunday. This has been a strange recruitment. We've gone from very confident to thinking Mizzou had moved on to relatively confident. Parker had a decision date set for December 12th. But now that date is off. We don't know a new date or if there is one. Regardless he will be in Columbia this weekend and we'll do our best to get in touch with him after the trip.

We expect there to be some other visitors over the next week, There will definitely be some local kids in town for the KU game. But it may not be a huge visit weekend. Kids are playing games and the staff is concentrating on winning the game over entertaining visitors so it may not be as big in numbers as some think.

Stay tuned for updates. Things are changing rapidly at this point in time.

Missouri has also offered Yale OL transfer Nick Gargiulo. Started at LT in 2019 and 2021. Was the starting center this past season.

Illinois, Boston College, Oklahoma State, Rutgers, and Syracuse have also offered.

Garguilo is a New York native

On the Utah QB. Reminded me of Corby getting drilled by Katzenmoyer but much much worse.

Anybody know what was up? If he'll be back soon? @drewking0222 ? Anybody else?

114 row 31 seats 7 and 8. SOLD.

In the email that came out this week from Mizzou Athletics, season ticket holders and TSF members had the opportunity to:

Our options to 'pre-order' were:

1. 2022 Las Vegas Bowl
2. 2022 Birmingham Bowl
3. 2022 Liberty Bowl
4. 2022 Texas Bowl
5. 2022 Gator Bowl
6. 2022 Music City Bowl
7. 2023 Reliaquest Bowl

No Gasparilla Bowl. Theoretically, these pre-orders give the AD a chance to gauge interest in which game fans would attend, as well as begin to capture the order soon after the team has become bowl eligible, when the impulse for fans to buy tickets may be at its highest.

So, this raises a lot of questions for me: Is the Gasparilla Bowl really an option? If so, did it just come into play? Did we not plan far enough ahead to know this would be an option? Are we just assuming more fans would attend this game than, say, Memphis ... or does it not really matter? If we go to Tampa, will our sales be lower because that bowl wasn't on the original list?

With the regular sesson complete now. We are faced with a reflection point as we wait to find our bowl destination.

The question that i would like to know from the masses is was the regular season a "success"?

Success is defined as the accomplishment of an aim or focus. This with Mizzou football can be a sometime slippery slope.

For a lot of people success is measured on wins in which looking imperically at a 6-6 record you would say this was not a successful year. Simply delving a little closer could possibly say something different. Let's quickly revisit the season.

LA Tech - W (expected)
Kansas St - L ( 13th ranked)
ACU - W( expected)
Auburn - L ( epic fail had game but gave away)
Georgia- L ( #1 team on ropes at home couldn't capitalize)
Florida -L ( in a close game INTs and off. Main issues in my opinion bad loss)
Vanderbilt- W ( historically a bad team that was improved. We finally won a tight contest)
S. Carolina-W ( a road win against a now 20th ranked aquad)
Kentucky-L ( bizarre loss to a former top 20 ranked squad)
Tennessee- L ( we got boat raced in this one out athleted and out coached)
NMSU - W ( expected)
Arkansas- W( against a once top 10 team. A prideful win)

In my opinion outside of K-State and Tenn i consider the rest of the season mostly a success.. We learned to compete on the road.. it did not immediately yield wins but it did allow a quality qualitywin in S. Carolina.. thr defensive play most of the season was a success especially when compared to the previous year. Offensively, I don't consider the year a success it yielded bright spots but if the offense could have been simply a tick above mediocre we could have won 3 more games 2 of which would have been road wins.

With that all being said this season cannot be classified as a success, ( Look no sunshine pumping) A step in a positive direction absolutely but not a success. I am anxiously awaiting the outcome of the portal and how much it changes the team chemistry and dynamics.

Take this as the only moment of straight shooting. I am back to sunshine pumping as soon as the bowl destination is determined

Thanks for allowimg me to ramble. ( I think i fixed the typos)

My grandpa is really good friends with a few really large donors and they told him today (take it for what it’s worth). Norvell has already agreed somewhere else, didn’t say where and said to watch Utah vs. Colorado tonight because Whittingham is going to be the new Mizzou coach.

USC defense so far

I know, I know...but...anything to it? He knows how to work social media so I have a hard time always believing his tweets dont have a subtle message
