So...we'll start with a downer note...
Friggin Mizzou women’s basketball LOST last night at HOME to South Dakota State. Turns out…we still dont have anyone who can shoot worth a darn. South Dakota State only hit four shots in the first half, shooting well below 20 percent, and still won the game. Mizzou was less than 50 percent from all areas on the floor, including the free throw line. Tough to call for a coach after the first game…but WOW is that a bad way to come out of the gate.

Can we change the mood?

Early on...
Texas looking like it’ll take care of its end of the “Mizzou for Big 12 North Champions” bargain

Actually, a lot of teams are attempting to take care of business and help us out today
(3) Texas beating kU, 7-0 in 2Q.
Auburn beating (10) Georgia, 6-0 in 2Q.
Indiana hanging around (7) Penn State, 10-7 at halftime.
Of course, Illinois is shitting the bed against (11) Ohio State, but if we were to win out, I’m not too worried about the buckeyes.

14-0 texas now...
Kerry Meier’s gotten murdered a couple of different times…UT doing their job for us…

Todd Reesing...
… is a far worse quarterback this year than he was last. It’s almost like he read about how great he was at making plays, and then decided his best bet was to scramble around and try to get his receivers killed with ill-advised throws.

You become a worse QB...
…when you’re running for your life twice as much. That O-line has broken down horribly since the OU game…
Rock M Nation
Thrust nunchuk upward!
Come to think of it...
…he was running for his life in that game too…
Rock M Nation
Thrust nunchuk upward!
Similiarly, you became an outstanding QB...
when you get the kind of time McCoy is getting from his line, from what I’ve seen. That second TD Texas scored, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a QB able to stand absolutely still in the pocket without a hint of pressure for that long.

As much as I want Illinois to win this game
It took about 10 seconds for me to remember why I dislike Ron Zook so much. He’s just so smarmy.
Like, the polar opposite of Gary Pinkel.
I juggle one handed, do some magic tricks and do the best imitation of myself.

Meanwhile...
…I hope Andre Ware had the decency to formally break up with Juice Williams before hooking up with Terrelle Pryor…he dropped Juice like a bad habit…
Rock M Nation
Thrust nunchuk upward!
Haha....
I think Ware has called EVERY Juice game this season

I know it's already been discussed...
…but did someone break into Todd Reesing’s apartment and steal his talent at some point in the past year? Good sweet merciful deity of your choice, he was supposed to contend for the Heisman this year?
I think it shows how important McAnderson was to last year’s Squadron of Beakers.

that was an incredible catch. Good thing they’re down 21 points.

That was a damn impressive catch by Briscoe.
Almost excuses him for being a big embarrassing failure for the majority of the season.
Almost.
"One man, five scoops." -- shroomer
Uhh...
…he has like 66 catches for 1050 yards and 11 TDs this year. If that’s your definition of embarrassing failure… :-)

A couple big drops in the SFLA game...
…a couple drops already in this one.
And this guy is supposed to be an All Big XII receiver? He’s what…the fifth best receiver in the conference? Sixth?
Maclin, Crabtree, Shipley, and Bryant are ahead of him for sure…you could certainly make a strong argument that Cosby and Iglesias are ahead of him, too.
"One man, five scoops." -- shroomer
I'm just saying...
…though I guess he did choose KU, which makes him a bit of an embarrassment…

A bunch of awkward, lanky white QBs...
…running Rich Rodriguez’s system. Good times had by all.
Rock M Nation

quite a whack. Hope he's ok
but I’m sure it’s nothing worse than a concussion (which isn’t fun, but much better than a neck injury).

It's been a bad couple games for Gideon.
Dropped what would have been a game-sealing INT vs. Texas Tech, then gets KTFO by Sharp (was it Sharp?).
"One man, five scoops." -- shroomer
And, they keep showing it
“This is the part of football that you’re worried about” “You hate to see it”. So, let’s watch it 10 or 15 times.
Pretty sure the KU runner knew as soon as he hit him that he was knocked out, because he stood up immediately and pointed to him to try to get coaches’ attention.

Ben Folds Five
Alright, that's it, I'm ready to declare it.
I am now of the belief that Todd Reesing is a slightly-better-than-mediocre quarterback.
"One man, five scoops." -- shroomer
Okay, I was sticking up for Reesing a bit...
…but he’s made two straight HORRIFIC decisions and absolute ducks…good god…

don't know if anyone else noticed, but
eddie (don’t call me willie) mcgee played most of the 4th quarter for illinois. andre ware seems to think there’s a chance he replaces juice next year. either way, i don’t think either of them is a very good qb.
MAN...
…South Caro’s Brinkley just put a LICK on that little Florida guy…SC’s physical enough to give UF problems today…or maybe I’m just talking myself into this game because there’s nothing else interesting on..

Anyone talking basketball yet?
Strangely, I do not see anything different than last season at this point. Nice to see us finally pull our head out of our asses, but I am still concerned a bit by our half court defense.
And Todd Donaho calling the action with Norm Stewart…this is my first exposure to him.

they are going to tape delay it after the football game

tape delay basketball on radio?
Would anyone really care at that point? :-)

I will be honest...not seeing a lot different than before
Paul and Denmon each with a 3…but the starters were about the same to me. I still cannot quite figure out what we do on offense when we are not running…
Miguel Paul shooting a lot for a “true” point guard…but hitting 3 of 4 I believe so far.
The frosh are not shy about shooting it from really deep….that crap will need to stop

In other Mizzou Sports today
Both the swim teams lost at Louisville, with the men getting it handed to them and the women being upset. In Cross-Country, the men placed a very solid 5th and the women a not-so-solid 12th (we split the Border War points for the day). And the women’s basketball team still lost last night at home to South Dakota State.

Eh…they all deserve the press and the mention that the big sports get so much of the time. I believe there is a lot to be proud of in the MU Athletics Department, especially that we have been able to hold on to all of our sports while continuing to grow our budget. So many schools have cut sports, but we never had to go that route (At least not in the past 15+ years.)

Nebraska 35 Kansas St. 14 at halftime
If Nebraska wins out, they could play in the Gator Bowl. Imagine how inflated Husker fans would be if Pelini got them to a New Year’s Dat bowl in his first season.
I just refuse to believe that the Gator Bowl will take them
over us if that is what the decision boils down to (assuming 2 from the south to the BCS and a third to the Cotton Bowl)…I would rather a seven-win Notre Dame get it over that situation

I’m out at Mizzou Arena, so my RMN’ing is limited. You can keep up with it here:

DESCRIBE THE ATMOSPHERE!!!...
eh…don’t bother…looks just as bland as to be expected. Probably more people over at Hearnes for the high school cheerleading competition than at Mizzou Arena.

even when the band is at Mizzou Arena, the place isn't nearly as loud as Hearnes.
and I’m a veteran of some great matchups at Hearnes including a few Kansas games
I've been at Mizzou Arena for "loud" games...
just look at how tall and steep Hearnes is compared to Mizzou Arena, and you can see why it was so much louder.
Is the university going to re-name the Mizzou Arena?
It looks like we were too lazy to come up with a name for the building
In a normal world, they'd name the building after Norm Stewart
instead of just naming the hardwood after him.
In theory, they should really name Hearnes after him
Norm never coached a game in the new place, but he owned Hearnes :-)

…I assume I haven’t missed much in the basketball game, though I will say that 15 points on 9 shots is nice for Leo. That’s all I’ve got.

team shot free throws very well in the half...
not as good from the field, but I think we only missed one FT for the half

Good win for the team on the road as they seem to be playing better of late.
