Mizzou Links, 10-21-08

5:30 on Saturday! That's the new mantra!

It's the mutigers.com official release for CU!

Mizzou’s John Mackey Award candidate TE Chase Coffman had yet another All-American performance in MU’s loss last Saturday at #1 Texas. The senior from Peculiar, Mo. caught 12 passes for 140 yards and 1 TD, and was seen breaking tackles, hurdling defenders and making difficult catches in traffic all night long. The receptions and yards marked a career high for Coffman, who also made history with his 3rd catch, which gave him the MU career record of 204, surpassing the previous mark of 203 formerly held by TE Martin Rucker (2004-07). Coffman enters Saturday’s game against Colorado with an MU-best 213 career receptions for 2,366 yards (2nd on MU’s career list) and 24 TDs (1st on MU’s career list).

Coffman has 23 catches for 244 yards and 1 TD in his last 2 outings, after catching 11 passes for 104 yards against Oklahoma State two games ago. One of those grabs included a spectacular catch on MU’s opening drive where he leaped backwards near the left sideline to snare a ball out of the air with one hand and bring it in for the catch – all while the OSU covering him was being flagged for pass interference. The gain went for 21 yards and extended MU’s drive that resulted in a short field goal for a 3-0 lead.

If that catch isn’t on your local neighborhood highlight reel, just give us a call and we’ll e-mail a clip to you, it’s a definite must-see!

Do you like this story?

Wherefore

In my ongoing quest to improve the world’s vocabulary, I would just like to point out that “wherefore” means “why” and not “where.” When Juliet said “wherefore art thou Romeo.” she wasn’t asking where he was, but rather why he had to be a member of the Montague family, archenemies of the Capulets.

That is all.

Like I didn't know that?

I mean, I was trying to say “Why are you, Willy Mo?”

Mike Alden probably just pissed off a lot of students

After reading his release about parking and the atmosphere at Reactor, it’s probably time to cue the Frat Pit whining:

"Two years ago, Mizzou greatly improved Reactor Lot by grading, chip sealing, providing bumpers and lighting to provide our University with a nice commuter parking lot for our students and a nice parking area for our fans on the day of the game.

However recently, this specific lot has been an area of concern on game days. While we promote a great “family” atmosphere at our games, it has come to our attention that some folks have identified Reactor Lot as an area to have large parties and promote irresponsible behavior before, during and after our games. Let me be clear….this is a minority number of the folks parking in this area, BUT that small group of people have had a negative impact on those great fans who come to enjoy a day of Tiger Football. That type of inappropriate behavior also has a negative impact on our brand. As a result, Reactor Field/Lot will not open until 2:30pm in advance of the 5:30pm kickoff time vs. Colorado to hopefully limit and negate the behavior that is not reflective of what we all want the Mizzou Game Day experience to be."

Meh.

As a frat guy, I’ve always thought the “Frat Pit Redux” was lame. Frat Pit died a long time ago; just let it rest in peace.

All the more ironic since "Frat Pit" officially lived for all of

I believe three games last season :-)

You know what they should do

is this…since most of the “small group of people” is about 50-60 people (maybe), each one of them gives $20 to one guy. Then that guys buys a parking pass. Then the cops/school won’t do anything, cause they are under orders not to patrol the lots (really…can’t believe it myself).

Unless it deals with gluing tissue paper to a board...

… I don’t know if organization is the fraternity system’s strongpoint.

If the first rule of journalism is “follow the money,” then the first rule of policing for underaged drinking must be “follow the Natty.”

One of the greatest moments of the 2008 season

was seeing frat pit get busted before SEMO. Over/under, how many cases of Natty did the police take away?

Also, Beef’s commentary on it: “Man, is it GREAT to be 31!”

To quote Dave Matter:

"During the OSU game two weeks ago, police estimated there were more than 3,000 fans partying there. DURING the game. Not before or after. DURING. It’s basically become a place for underage kids and out-of-towners to drink and party where they know they won’t be carded. The area is absolutely trashed every Sunday after home games.

I travel all around the Big 12 and have yet to see an atmosphere quite so ugly. Nobody’s prohibiting people from having fun before the game, but it’s turning into Party Cove on land. "

I’ve changed my assessment from above…this is crap. I don’t know why I don’t like it, but I don’t.
