Great year for sure.
I'll take Ealy and josey in red and gold next year |
The James Franklin era ends much like the Challenger: simultaneously explosive and disastrous.

@PeteScantlebury If Strong is going to Texas, #Mizzou's chances to land Cincinnati DT Daniel Cage go up exponentially. |

As it is its still a sizable black mark but a lot of fans will ultimately overlook his poor performance based on the result of the game. |
Wow....Michael Sam came up big just when we needed him to.
Ealy and Josey should get game balls. Franklin and Pinkel should thank their lucky stars for Ealy and Josey's efforts. |
Gimme Boothe and Cage.

What is it about the last three QBs we've had. They are, quite possibly, the three best we've ever had. Yet, somehow, I'm always ready for them to leave.

I'm with you on the last two, but Chase? I can't imagine wishing for the end of his career at Mizzou. |
Quote:
You have to admit that the defense and Henry Josey bailed out Franklin tonight. I will give Franklin his due on the pass to DGB but you have to admit he played horribly and single-handedly almost cost us a great season. |
He was awful in this game, but somehow Franklin made one throw when we really needed it, down the sideline to DGB. It was his one redeeming moment of the day.

I am excited to see the run of Maty Mauk.....with DGB and the RB trio we could still be explosive. Our O-Line needs to make sure the new guys to take over for the graduating seniors slide right into their slots. |

You know, you may be right. It's hard to remember (hindsight and all) how excited I was to see what Gabbert could do. |

If FSU wins I don't see why Mizzou won't finish #3. #7 OSU, #6 Baylor, #5 Stanford, and #3 Alabama all lost. I can't see how #2 Auburn drops just one spot if they lose.

When you win Bowl Games it does have an effect on recruiting....and losing after starting so promising does have a mental effect. Ask any OSU fan (be it Ohio State or Okie State) or Bama how they feel about losing their last 2 games after a promising season and being in place for a BCS or NCG shot. |

I agree - it's good to see Franklin go out a winner so my lasting memory of him won't be one of blind rage.
He was a great Tiger. He deserves to be remembered for a hell of a comeback season and not just for yacking up a bowl game. |
Quote:
I am just so damn happy for MU and the guys like Josey, Washington, Gaines, Lucas, Franklin and all the other Seniors. |

The extra month of practice time. |
The entire narrative of this season was decided tonight.

Quote:
But since you said to ask any Bama fan, I'll ask myself: "Self, how do you feel about Alabama losing their last two games after a promising season where you were ranked #1 the whole way?" "Well, self, losing the last regular season game to Auburn hurts a lot. It cost us a spot in the SEC championship game, and effectively ensured that we would not play for the BCS national championship. Losing the Sugar Bowl to Oklahoma doesn't hurt at all, comparatively. It doesn't feel good to have been outcoached by Bob Stoops. But it also does nothing to take away from our gargantuan success in recent years, or our best-in-the-nation recruiting class for next year." |

Are all bowl games equal? No, they are not. This one, OTOH, was absolutely huge for Missouri. It was a final **** you to the Big 12. It was proof that they are a great football team. It was a bounce-back from a strong thumping from Auburn. Missouri isn't Alabama. They don't get to say "oh well, we won the title in 2012". They are constantly teetering on the brink of a crisis of confidence and wins like this are what they need to move further and further away from that cliff. This was a massive win for the program, IMO. |

One went as far as to say that he wished that Saban had taken the Texas job because he might have become complacent. While you may be reasonable, you know that you are probably in the minority in that thinking. |

I'm not convinced that the outcome of a bowl game matters much in recruiting. Maybe embarrassing blowout losses could hurt, but regular ol' losses aren't that different from a regular ol' bowl win as far as recruiting goes. Just my opinion. The exposure that comes from the bowl game is good enough. That depends on the program too, I suppose. A program that is seen as up and coming could benefit from bowl victories. Miami fans, for example, might need to be worried about UCF now. But overall, my position on bowl games is unwavering: you definitely want to play in them, for the exposure and the extra weeks of practice. But for established programs the actual outcome of the game doesn't matter, or at least matters far less than any regular season game. |

You noted that bowl outcomes aren't huge for 'established' programs - well you don't become an established program without them. Mizzou's not there yet, but they're getting closer. This will help in that regard. |

Just got home. This game killed a fully charged phone between text messages and group texts.
Defense really played its heart out and answered the bell after the SEC title game. Gave up a lot of total yards, but also faced 96 plays in this game. Things I really liked: Harassed Chelf. He was making a lot of hurried throws. PUNISHED the Okie Lite WRs. Loved how hard they were hitting. Loved the way they made them pay. And made the play of the game when it mattered. Won field position consistently. Offensively, that was pretty ugly. Worst game I think Franklin has played, but he made plays when it mattered most. The Blaine Gabbert/Iowa reverse comparison is a great one. Great game from Henry Josey and I hope we haven't see the last of him in black and gold. Oh, and how about the Sack Fairy making one final play? This win is important for Mizzou for a few reasons. 1) Any time you can win 12 games and finish in the top 5, it's important for a program of Mizzou's stature 2) Cements the idea that this WAS a good team and not just a product of its schedule |
Everyone have a great night...after the excitement of that game I am going to make a feeble attempt to get some sleep.
Fat chance...but I gotta try. |
First off, congrats from a Jayhawk fan. Big win for your program. Have to admit, I was pulling for OKState, mostly because I'm a KU fan, and secondly because I live in SEC country and I get sick of the LSU SEC hacks that pull for their "rival" when they aren't playing them. Now, one question. When will Green-Beckham declare for the draft? I would love to see him in a Chiefs jersey, although I don't see it happening.

So for a Missouri fan such as myself, with that mental approach to bowl games, I thought our season was validated by winning the SEC East and making it to the conference championship game. That game (and its sad, sad outcome) will always matter to me more than all of the bowls combined. I don't feel very puffy right now. I gots puffed for winning the East, though. And I wouldn't have felt very downtrodden tonight if Mizzou had lost to OSU. |

DGB is a true sophomore. I imagine he'll blow up next year with Mauk throwing him the football and declare for the 2015 draft. |

Ealy just announced he's going pro.
I think we all kindof expected that, but it still smarts a bit. |

Congrats on the win. I know a lot of people that were bitching about not just outright benching Franklin as opposed to Pinkel playing musical chairs at QB when it was clear Mauk was playing much better. Josey and the MU defense bailed Pinkel out in this game. He had a magnificent game. Dudes a stud. He's going to be a steal in the NFL draft if his injuries cause his stock to drop.

I despise traditional sports radio. The fewer callers, the better. There's a local show in town that is passable, but aside from that I listen to SVP, The Herd, or Coach and Company. The Coach is a must listen, in part for some of the WWE stories he tells.

Sam really showed that he likes to strip and sack other dudes.
