I don't know guys. What is there to say? Bad teams find ways to lose. Missouri is a bad team. It found a way to lose again. The last time the Tigers lost more conference games in a row than this (11) was 1934 when they were in the Big Six. But Don Faurot coached that team and he has a field named after him, so maybe there's hope?
In all seriousness, I'll say it again, because I have to: I don't see any scenario in which Barry Odom loses his job before next year. I know you'll keep asking and I'll keep giving you the same answer. You don't have to agree with it and if I'm wrong, I'll own it, but I'm pretty confident I'll be right. This doesn't look like a team that has quit to me. They're not good. They're not well-coached. There are plenty of flaws. But I don't think they've quit.
Three more to go until the merciful end. At this point, it's not really about the season. I mean, don't get me wrong, it would be beneficial to win a game or two and have SOMETHING to sell to fans and recruits, but it's really about what happens after the season. Who stays, who goes (players and coaches) and can you build it up from here? It's always darkest before the dawn. Hopefully the light will break through soon. And, hey, they were in this game all the way until about six minutes remained. So, baby steps.
Lots of video interviews and stories on the front page and linked on the board. Grade card will be up tomorrow. I'm traveling all day, but we'll still do the chat at 8 tomorrow night.
