****Official 2013-14 Missouri Tiger Football Repository Thread****

['Hamas' Jenkins]

We have two things to look forward to this year:

1) The potential beginning of the Maty Mauk Era. Mauk represents the best chance for this program to get back to a level of respectability after horrendous QB play cost us multiple games last year.

2) The last year of the Gary Pinkel era. Pinkel's entrenched cronyism won't play in a conference this competitive, especially if he couples his abysmal gameday coaching with lackadaisical, worst-in-conference recruiting. Pinkel was the formerly adequate meal that has now turned into a four pound bowel obstruction. It's time to jam a Fleet's enema up our collective asses.

Here is the schedule. We dodge Alabama, LSU, and Arkansas in the west and the Non-con is decidedly weaker than years past.

8/31: Murray State
9/7: Toledo
9/21: @ Indiana
9/28: Arkansas State
10/5:@ Vanderbilt
10/12: @ Georgia
10/19:Florida
10/26: South Carolina
11/2:Tennessee
11/9: @ Kentucky
11/23: @ Ole Miss
11/30: aTm

Looks like 6-6. Undefeated in non-con, 2-6 in league play.

I will eventually update the OP with a list of high profile in-state recruits that decide to go elsewhere after a half-assed attempt to gain their services. The inevitable cavalcade of *** rejects, skeezers, skanks, and scalliwags we get will fill out the ranks.


Razors, cyanide capsules, and Jonestown Kool-Aid are available in the break room. Second door on the left.

Since every Mizzou thread eventually dies of AIDS, I recommend starting anti-retroviral therapy immediately. I believe Walgreens covers Express Scripts.

I know this is a double post, but it needs to exist in the longest-lasting MU FB thread for posterity:

A few thoughts from my seat at the game:


I didn’t understand the Mauk hype after the Florida game, and I don’t think anyone does now. If you go back and watch last week’s game you’ll see a player that only hit on half his passes and should have thrown three or four interceptions. Tonight’s performance was every bit as bad as any of Berkstresser’s stinkbombs last year, just luckier. He should have thrown four or five picks in this game. He was terrible in the spring game and made me yearn for Kirk Farmer tonight. The team had absolutely no confidence in him, and I can’t blame them. Every deep ball he threw looked like a punt. South Carolina defenders dropped at least three picks, and he made some terrible decisions that luckily didn’t result in more. It might be the worst game I’ve ever seen a Pinkel QB play. Berkstresser’s 9/30 last year was a better game than that. When the team won’t let you throw when you’re on the 25 and need a touchdown to win you ****ing suck the biggest of donkey balls. Mauk was flat footed on all his throws, he couldn’t throw any pass outside the hashes with any touch, and he constantly made decisions that reminded me of Brett Favre with the talent of Matt Cassel.

Clowney just flat raped Britt all night. It’s not terribly surprising, but SC’s defensive front just wore out the Missouri blockers. For all the crowing about guys like Britt and Copeland, they are just not good enough. Copeland committed two idiotic penalties and constantly got his ass whipped at the POA. Great mouth, average player.


Dave Steckel is still the most clueless mother****er I’ve ever seen. Tonight exposed him as bad as the Syracuse game did. The defense was continually gashed by screens once Shaw came in and he was completely unable to adjust. Unless the front four raises absolute hell, which it didn’t for most of the game, that back seven will get torn to pieces because it’s easily the worst back seven in the conference. The DL was handled for most of the night and it exposed the back seven.
To let a RB slip out on a flare pattern on 4^th and Goal from the 15 is just unimaginably stupid. Teams shouldn’t convert that more than five percent of the time and they did it easily.


Thompson was so bad it really overshadowed the ineptitude of the defense. SC receivers consistently got past the Missouri corners, the safeties took horrible angles, and have absolutely no ball skills. Matt White and Randy Ponder are the SEC’s version of Jarrad Page and Burntee.

I felt the game was really in trouble when we got four turnovers in the first half (yes, the 4^th down stop counts), a 96 yard TD on a Matt White-level-angle from SC’s safety, and yet could only muster 14 points. There wasn’t a single thing more that could have gone right for Missouri outside of the pass off of Washington’s pad in the first half and they could only muster 14. A decent team would have been up on SC by 24-28 points at half.


The crowd was completely out of it by late in the game. Before overtime there was an M-I-Z chant in the stands. You could hear the individual people saying Z-O-U (maybe a few hundred) because they were so dispirited.



Some drunk old **** in front of me called me a Debbie Downer when I blurted out that they were going to lose when it was 17-7. I told him I have two decades of watching this shit under my belt. It’s Mizzou. It never changes and it never will.


They’re going to get their asses handed to them at Ole Miss and Jonathan of Foosball will likely approach 600 yards of total offense on these ****ing clowns.


I’m somewhat pissed at Pinkel for that game and his clock management, but they were a dead team walking as soon as Shaw came in. His biggest flaw was exposed by his hires: Grinch and Steckel.
And obviously Baggett is a ****ing worthless piece of shit that should have his scholarship stripped, but you never, ever trust a kicker.

Dave Steckel is the college equivalent of Gunther Cunningham circa 1995 - play the exact same defense, sprinkle in a couple of blitzes, and hope your stars can make you look like a defensive coaching savant. Works well until, you know, a team adjusts.

[Pepe Silvia]

You just knew someone would be WIDE OPEN on the 4th and goal from the 15.

Jesus ****. I wanted to go full frazod on the ****ing appliances when that happened. And you just knew the game was over then, as well.

Exactly. I said to myself before the play that someone would either be wide open or we would have them covered and they would make a fluke catch, either way we were going to blow it. It sucks.

I was berating my entire section while bitching about the screen passes that they just marched downfield on. One or two zone drops from the DEs would have nipped that shit in the bud, but he was completely oblivious to the concept.

And the tackling tonight...Goddamn, he is so ****ing terrible.

[gblowfish]

Time for my standard reaction to Missouri, once they get into an important position and have a chance to make a statement:

CHOKING LOSING ****ING PUSSY ASSHOLE DICKHEAD LOSER ****WADS!!!!

And I really mean that, man....

[Eleazar]

Of course, it was a bitterly disappointing loss. At least there was a reason why it was bitterly disappointing, that things have been going so well lately. SC will be a top 10 team when the year ends, and we'll be 15 or 20 where we probably belong.

[WhawhaWhat]

Mizzou at #10 in both polls.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

They should have dropped at least ten spots after a loss like that.

against a ranked team in double OT?? Riiiiiight.

I'm sorry, but Mizzou fans are the worst.

We're ****ing 7-1.

Years of conditioning has led me to this. Much like being a Chiefs fan, actually.

If Franklin can somehow make it back before the bowl game, I'll change my attitude. Last year and the last two games have proven just how valuable he is to this team.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

How many top 15 teams would blow a 17 point lead in the fourth quarter of a game where they were +3 in turnovers?
