I figured it was time to start the new version of this...

2012 Schedule
April 14: Spring Game
Sept. 1: SE Louisiana
Sept. 8: Georgia
Sept. 15: Arizona State
Sept. 22: at South Carolina
Sept. 29: at Central Florida
Oct. 6: Vanderbilt
Oct. 13: Alabama
Oct. 20: OPEN
Oct. 27: Kentucky*101st HOMECOMING*
Nov. 3: at Florida
Nov. 10: at Tennessee
Nov. 17: Syracuse
Nov. 24: at Texas A&M

Still three games to be released here. I'd expect a mid-major in the Sept. 1 game, a FCS team on Sept. 29, and another mid-major on Nov. 17 (to get a November home game on the schedule).

I'll try to be good about maintaining this, though I've set a ridiculous standard for myself.

I witnessed something from him (and taped it) at a game I was scouting this year, that still has me scratching my head about the guy.
Dominant player, though.

From what I've read, one of the reasons Ramirez pulled back on his commitment to MU was that he wanted to go to the same school as Boyd. I wonder how this will affect his final decision.

It's hilarious that a local news story pretty much consists of high school rumors and the word of one witness that saw what happened through a window probably from a long way away.

I think they missed the part about the student's friend that worked at 31-Flavors.

It has been confrimed by the University. Yost completely gone from the football program.

Yeah, but so is Campos.

Well, more accurately he's just not coming to Mizzou.

This has been a complete abortion of a season. Thanks Yost*, thanks Gary* and thank you most of all, Sheldon Richardson*.

*All 'thank's in this sentence are more accurate read as '****'s

[duncan_idaho]

Will be interesting to see what names surface with Yost leaving. Good thing is that he's not a primary recruiter any more, so hopefully this doesn't cause problems with any of the recruits in the current class.

Mauk and DGB were heavily influenced by Yost. Hopefully, neither goes anywhere. Mauk more likely to transfer than DGB, IMO.

I would prefer another spread offense guy. That's Missouri's identity, and I don't think a pro style offense (or at least one that is all pro style) can be successful at Mizzou over the long haul. Just not enough elite line talent to make that work.

Chaney (former Tennessee OC) works if he is planning to run the spread.

Joker Phillips will be involved as well, I'd think. He coordinated some great offenses at Kentucky with less talent than he'd have available at Mizzou... Good recruiter, personality would fit, has SEC ties. Makes a lot of sense...

Rumor is Florida already bagged him.

As a WR coach? Hmm, tough call:

Make 300k as the WR coach at Florida or make 700k as the OC at Mizzou....

[DJ's left nut]

But is Joker Phillips one of Pinkel's nephews?

Because that appears to be a pretty good way of getting onto the coaching staff. Hey, maybe hiring a real coach instead of your loose relative may have prevented our safeties from being a bag of boiled shit this year, eh Gary?

The safety play was probably the worst unit on the entire squad and nobody's going to say boo about the fact that we replaced one of our best coaches (Odom) with some no-name, no connection, crony case like Alex Grinch.

We'll likely do the same for the OC job.

Hmm. I actually thought the safety play was quite a bit better this year than a season ago.

Though I'm not sure Grinch had much to do with that.

I don't know that Alden will sign off on an internal promotion, but we'll see. You also wonder if Pinkel being on the hot seat might make the job harder.

I wouldn't mind seeing a coach in waiting type deal. You MIGHT be able to pry Kliff Kingsbury away from aTm with that...

Really?

I saw our corners being asked to do way too much (and often unable to do it) because they weren't getting adequate support from the safeties. EJ Gaines and Kip Edwards are athletic, experience starting corners that were just getting abandoned out there and often getting picked apart because they were being left on islands.

I don't think the CBs got worse, I think they were being asked to do more than they were capable of because the safety support wasn't there.

On occasion Walker would make a nice play, but apart from those, the Mizzou safeties seemed a step behind in coverage all season long.
