THere are better players on the team, not many, but none more important to how this team performs this year. He is calm, mature, smart. Does nothing great but so far does everything very well.

Headed to the game tonight, what are my parking options?

Would he just hire an OC in title but still call plays and stuff?

Noah Carter, Tre Gomillion and Dennis Gates speaking.

-Gates: "First and foremost, happy Veterans Day ... That was a hard-fought game."

-@GabeD asked Noah when he knew it was going to be a night the ball was going to fall in a lot. Gates answered for him -- "Every night."

-I asked Noah what his mindset was after going 0-4 from deep last game. He said he just told himself to keep shooting. It paid off tonight.

-Gates said Gomillion has a tendency to turn into a coach when the game gets tight. Calls him "Coach Cameron" (Tre's legal first name).

-Gates: These guys have to get used to subbing themselves out. So I think that's where you saw some of the lulls tonight ... Aidan Shaw did that tonight. He played as hard as he could and subbed himself out. But like a typical freshman, he forgot to tell me he was ready to go back in.

-Carter: Tre is a stern guy. So when he gets serious, you listen.

-Gates said Isiaih Mosley not playing was his decision. "It's just a DNP." Listed everyone on the roster who's gotten the DNP. "I just decided to tighten the lineups and went with who was playing well."

-Gates: D'Moi Hodge is upset right now because he missed some wide-open 3s and went 3-9. We've seen him go 9-9 from 3.

Maybe good, maybe ok, but I like this team. That is all.

-Mizzou looked like they couldn't miss a shot, and then they suddenly started missing everything. That's actually a pretty regular occurrence in basketball games -- everything eventually regresses to the mean. It's unfortunate that it happened to a team that was hoping to build confidence in its shot tonight.

-We saw some extended minutes from Mo Diarra. He wasn't productive (two misses, one rebound), but he runs the floor like a guard. The tools are there for him to fit in, he's just gotta figure out how to use them.

-D'Moi Hodge has been the Tigers' best player tonight. He's shot 4-10 from deep after a game and a half. He's probably been their best perimeter defender too. He's gonna be important.

-I really don't know what's going on with Isiaih Mosley, and I'm not going to speculate why he's not playing. He's on the bench. He went through warmups. He's not wearing a headband, for whatever that's worth. He's not injured as far as I know. He's just not getting in the game.

-The defensive rotations have been bad. Dennis Gates has their weakside defenders keeping a foot in the paint, and they haven't been able to make the long closeout when Penn skips to an open shooter. It also seems like Gates wants his team to switch everything above the key, but not everyone has gotten the message. At the very least, it's bad communication.

-It's a little concerning that Kobe Brown didn't play much after coming back from whatever injury he had to go to the locker room for. Mizzou could be in trouble if he's out for the second half.

Alright, Mizzou amigos. I have a horrible case of Friday brain and really don't feel like doing much work today, so with the recent speculation of what we all think may need to happen this offseason, I felt like throwing some names out there as QBs who, first, may even enter the TP, and secondly, may actually consider Mizzou. The variables are quite simple for targets I'm considering -- either they're regional fits who may be looking to move up, currently on SEC rosters, buried on the depth chart, or were previously recruited by Mizzou and chose to go elsewhere. It also appears that Drink may prefer QBs that have some wiggle to them, as well, so I'm going to focus on more of the dual-threat kind of QBs vs your traditional pro-style QBs. I'm also going to go a little off the wall here and focus mostly on transfer QBs who have more than 1 year left of eligibility.

Keep in mind, this is PURE CONJECTURE, based on even more conjecture.

A few names have already been thrown around, and I'll try and include who I remember.

Anywho, let's get started (in no particular order):

Luke Doty - JR - Recruited by Drinkwitz at App State. Chose USCe. Other offers were Auburn, Baylor, Ole Miss, Florida State, Miss St., NCST, TCU, VT and WF.

Hudson Card - SO - This is a name that's been thrown around. With Quinn Ewers and Arch Manning in the fold, it's likely Card, who has played very well for Texas, will hit the Portal. He'll have suitors from schools across the country, had offers from 5 SEC West schools, including Alabama, and also lists offers from tOSU, Baylor, TCU, OkST, PSU and Utah, among others.

Chubba Purdy - SO - Purdy, the younger brother of former ISU QB, Brock Purdy, has already bounced from FSU to Nebraska. A new staff means Purdy may be looking around again.

John Rhys Plumlee - SR - Plumlee signed with Ole Miss before transferring to UCF, where he's the Knights' starter. Perhaps he'd take a grad transfer year at a big boy school who offered him out of HS?

Jalen Milroe - FR - The ultimate pipe dream. If Bryce Young decides to come back for his SR year, does Milroe have the patience to wait another year? Alabama has two 5.9 4* recruits committed for this year's class and another year of Young may push Milroe out sooner than Saban and Co. would like. If Young goes, Milroe is the Tide's starting QB for 2023, in all likelihood.

Preston Stone - FR - This one is interesting to me. Stone is currently with SMU (Casey Woods), was recruited by Garrett Riley, and also recruited by Mizzou. With Mordecai (another possibility for Mizzou) possibly leaving for the NFL after this year, Stone may stay with SMU. But if Drinkwitz hires away Stone's OC, there has to be a very real possibility that Woods and Drinkwitz push for Stone, not Mordecai, to follow.

Kaidon Salter - FR - Former Tennessee commit who's now with Hugh Freeze and Liberty. Established starter, but Freeze may find himself with a bigger, better job after the success he's had at Liberty this year.

Eli Stowers - FR - aTm QB who's stuck behind SO QB Haynes and JR QB Johnson for a Jimbo Fisher squad that's circling the drain. Recruited by Mizzou out of HS.

Okay, now let's get into a few guys who would be 1-year bandaids:

Kyle Vantrease - SR

Austin Reed - SR

Clayton Tune - SR

Holton Ahlers - SR - Recruited by NCST while Drink was the OC/QBC on staff.

Chase Brice - SR - Former 4* who committed to Clemson out of HS and currently starts for App St.

So, like I said, total conjecture based on conjecture. This is worse than throwing a bunch of sh*t into the fan and waiting to see what splatters and sticks on the wall. But for conversation sake, Stone, Doty, Card, Tune, Ahlers and Brice, to me, seem like they could actually be realistic options this coming Transfer Portal season.

Any names I missed that should be on here?

I thought the rain forecasted could help our defensive cause a little more but the weather has been saying a small precipitation level about a .1 of an inch 8 mph winds gusts of 12mph not quite enough to change Tenner game plan

They're unranked this year. Last year they finished the year unranked. And I believe were unranked the year before that too. But every year it seems they're playing in a national premier game like this aircraft carrier game or the champions classic. When do they fall out of favor for these premier games?

THANK YOU ALL for your service to ur country.

And a special thanks and tribute to my favorite Veteran, my Dad, Woodrow Wilson Boulware.

If we were able to watch the game on Monday, will it be the same tonight?

What was she throwing to the students?

It has been just a little over a year since she was hired, but so far, she had been a homerun. I love her enthusiasm and her visibility. I don't know how she relates to the donors, but you can tell she does with the students.

Questionable



Doubtful

Very sad.

Was told that at least early on, Cook and Abraham have been splitting reps with the 1’s.

Horn working exclusively with the 3’s so far.
