Make no mistake, Gabe is the expert, but I've been sent a Private Message asking me my opinion on the Mailbag questions. So this week, you get a twofer.......

Which leads to this next question. Please give your odds on Mizzou making ANY bowl game in 2016 please? Thanks.
50-50 (I like my odds of being right here)

Florida is playing really good defense...what adjustments can Heupel make to get our offense going against such a tough defense?
Stop throwing interceptions

Why aren't you dedicating resources to softball recruiting?
This really does need to be fixed.

After watching he LSU game and the Bama v. Arkansas game, I've concluded that DB may be the area where the talent disparity between the elite in the SEC and the rest (particularly Mizzou) is the greatest. Mizzou's DBs always seem to be classified as "athletes" or DB/WR as high school recruits - I've assumed that they usually have good measureables but haven't proven themselves at receiver, or who played more QB in high school but aren't good enough to play the position in college. Do you know if Bama and LSU recruit this way too, or are they getting kids who've earned their scholarships primarily because of DB play in high school?
Long question. Answer: they recruit by position.

Who do you read, Gabe? Meaning, are there sportswriters you make sure and read weekly? For example, I used to wait religiously for Bill Simmons' Sports Guy column. I open Peter King's MMQ every Monday morning. Andy Staples... Pat Forde? Matter?
Just curious as to what other writers you enjoy/follow.
(And are you a READER reader? Favorite authors?)
May come as a suprise to many, but I don't read.

What is the feel of the locker room right now? Lots of rumblings about defense not happy with new package. Are the players together or fractured?
I haven't felt around the locker room. Also, this is a family site. Clean it up.

Look I understand the softball thing, but as a fan can you get the link to our #3 class in the country? That has to be the highest rating ever
See my answer about softball above.

Is the Mizzou job too big for Odom?
Too soon to tell. Rooting for him.

Gabe,
Assume the schools below win their respective leagues:
Texas A&M
Washington
Clemson
Wisconsin
Okla State
That would mean a playoff without traditional powers such as OU, FSU, Mich, Ohio State, ND, Tex, S Cal etc.
Would that be good for college football ?
Depends on who your a fan of.

Gabe, after the few weeks on the job for our new AD, do you see him changing who we schedule as our non conference games in football (and basketball)? Or how we schedule to bring more fans to the games (especially in Basketball)? If you look at the schedules we played back in the 70's, we played at least 2 very respectable games against hard opponents during this time in football. It was a hard ticket to come by when we were playing Ohio State, Alabama, USC, Wisconsin, etc. Our attendance seems to be down when we play the lesser opponents, and this would seem to be a good way to bring the fans out to all the games by scheduling better games.
How the hell would I know this?

Will there ever be a single point in time where Drew Lock is the best qb in the SEC?
A single point in time? Yes, I believe so. Especially if we continue to play at 11:00 am and the better teams play later.

Can you find out how Alabama came to know about lightly recruited Joshua Jacobs late in the recruiting process when they seemed to steal him away from us? Did they possibly ride on Mizzou's coat tails in discovering him?
The stupid internet. It cost us Jacobs.

I know this isn't how it's supposed to work but this article answers your question.- I really don't appreciate you answering this question.
