Gotta be honest guys, there are six days left in the season and I'm thankful for that. Missouri has been more entertaining to watch than it was a season ago, but I wouldn't say it's been a whole lot of fun. This season has been a death march to the end since the loss to Middle Tennessee. It needs to end and we need to find out what's going to go down in the offseason.

As for this game, Damarea Crockett is really good and Ish Witter and Nate Strong give Mizzou a nice attack on the ground. Kudos to this offensive line which has been so much better than any of us thought. So that's good.

I still don't know if they have the QB for the future. You see some signs. But there are also too many mistakes.

Defensively, blow it up and start over. I'm not saying anyone has to be fired. That's not my call. But whatever you did this year, burn it and then burn the ashes. Start all over with something new and see if you can fix it. Josh Dobbs and Tennessee are really good. I don't think they're THIS good.

Missouri has lost two games in which it has gained 600 yards this season. That's virtually impossible.

Oh, and find a kicker you can count on, whether he's on the roster or not.

I'll try to do the ten thoughts before my flight leaves in the morning. Depends how much time I have at the airport. No chat tomorrow night as I'm on the road and won't get back to CoMo until late in the evening. Media day Monday and we've got one more week left. I think the basketball team plays tomorrow too.

Photos, video and stories on the front page. Last thing: This is the best place to come to a road game I've been in the SEC. If you haven't yet made the trip, make plans for 2018.
