Michigan won't allow it in the showers. Drain issues.

Recent in-state recruiting misses really hurt... Ezekiel Eliott and Roderick Johnson being the most prominent.

For most of the first 10 years of Pinkel's tenure, Missouri did not really "miss" on an in-state player who had any sort of impact at the college level (Laurence Maroney being the biggest one. Adrian Clayborne also was a stud, but he was missed because of closeness to Aaron O'Neal and early outrage about that tragedy).

I think they're going to close this season on a strong note, though. Doherty was a nice get, and I feel like they have a good shot at the Davis twins, which would give them 4 of the top 5 in-state guys in this class.

There is no reason that the in state studs, especially guys like the Davis twins, shouldn't be li ing up to play at Mizzou. It makes no sense that we are losing out on as many players as we do. The fact that he wins without them is impressive, but we've got to figure out how to keep them on board, because that's how we move from winning divisions to winning conferences and national championships.

I expect us to be ranked every year, and play on Jan 1 most years. I feel like that's a reasonable standard for the school right now.

Losing in-state talent might be a product of not being a top-15 program as Hamas suggests.

If you're good enough to get noticed by the likes of Ohio State, USC or Alabama who are perennial players for a championship then why wouldn't you go with one of those programs versus stay close to home and go to Mizzou whose only gotten close to a shot at the title seven years ago?

We were close last year.

But not as close as they were in 2007.

I would be happy with winning a conference championship game. Nice to them in the game, but will they ever win it?

If they do, they'll be in it for a national title.

That's what's been so frustrating. If they could've beat Oklahoma in the big 12 or Auburn last year, they would've been in the big game. But they lost and didn't even get a BCS bowl.

Cotton Bowl last season & Citrus this year.

Can't understand why kids in Missouri are going to Alabama, Oregon & Ohio State.

We beat Auburn, we go to the national championship last year.

They were one quarter from doing it. Didn't they have a lead in the 4th quarter of that game last year?

We had a lead until 3 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter. And we were down 3 with 10 minutes to go in the game. Then they scored 2 TDs and it was game over.

I'm close friends with one of the players and he pretty much said it was the coaches fault for refusing to change out of their game plan to stop Tra Mason. The players kept on asking for different formations, but coaches were stubborn and kept calling the same plays.
