It's been this way his entire career. Fans have NO reservations slamming Gary Pinkel for ANY little misstep he makes or any decision during a game that is even mildly questionable. After the punt by Jake Harry pinned KU inside the five (again), Twitter and our boards EXPLODED.
But if you're going to bury Pinkel when you think he's wrong, you better be damn prepared to give the man credit when he's right.
His decision to punt may have won Missouri this ballgame. Just a HUGE win for the Missouri Tigers today in one of the best football games I've seen this year. Much credit and props to the Kansas Jayhawks, who once again played their part in another incredible Border War battle.

Mangino might be fired because of his last drive playcalling
Just atrocious
Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes; after that, who cares?! He's a mile away and you've got his shoes!
but but but...
Mangino ALWAYS outcoaches Pinkel!

I liked the strategy in theory...
…just like I liked Belichick’s 4th down call in theory. Briscoe murdered us in the second half, and we have a good run defense that probably would have stopped three runs up the middle. But when the passes go incomplete, you’re screwed.

Thrust nunchuk upward!
Indeed
But since it failed, it will be billed as questionable. If he would have got the first they probably win.

At least part of the game ball goes to D-Wash IMO
Ressel may have won the game, and Domino Axelrod may have made the huge catches, but Washington ran like a MAN today, and I loved his game minus the screwup on 3rd down late.

I wish
Oklahoma’s win earlier today really screwed us. With their win, even with an inferior record they probably jump us in bowl selection and knock OSU out of bcs contention. osu goes to cotton, nebraska to holiday, oklahoma to alamo and tech gets the nod from the sun bowl because of geographical considerations, leaving us with the insight bowl.
argh. I live in Dallas. I’m in driving distance of all of like 2 of mizzou’s bowl games, and the insight bowl is one of em.

jesus christ
my friends at mizzou are STILL complaining.
saying that our line has been a perennial problem. including the lines that allowed chase 8600+ yards over the last 2 years and 2 1000 yard rushers? what the hell?!
very hard to argue with these guys :(
i really don't know
they are “glad we won” but pinkel can “pat himself on the back when we can run with the powerhouses of the south.”
“I like the gains we’ve made, a north contender with winning seasons and a cotton bowl, but comfort is the bedfellow of stagnation.”
tried to point out that 8-4 in the big 12 with 86 freshman/sophomores and 32 juniors/seniors and our freshman quarterback playing injured through at least 3 of our losses is a pretty good spot to be in. to no avail.
Those people
are clearly delusional.
I’m sorry, but that is bullshit right there.
They seriously need to learn a bit about the history of this program and where we were before GP showed up.
Is he the best coach ever?
No.
But has he raised our profile from where we were during the illustrious Larry Smith era?
Fuck yeah.
Hell, when Nike picked ten schools to model variations on their pro combat uniforms, we were among the few and the lucky to receive the honor because Nike thinks we are a program on the rise.
So tell them to go fuck themselves.

Nike didn't include them on the website
or in the big three week rollout.
But watching that game, I thought something was odd about their road whites this week.

So
What bowl game will the Beakers be playing in?
I’m guessing it’s the Bank of America ‘Sit at home and Watch Mizzou Play’ Bowl.
Or it could be the Coca-Cola ‘Sulk in your own misery’ classic.

but not punt to coverage of the S. Padre game… rightfully so— has anyone found an outlet that is going to broadcast from opening tip?

Even though MU failed to cover for what seems like the 10th time this season...
I’ve been partaking in this since the 2nd quarter…
Any preference on your bowl?
Assuming my best guess for next week is correct- Cotton or Holiday?
Cotton is a closer drive. Holiday is all over the Huskers.
Fiesta, of course!
But reality of course forces me to choose Holiday over Cotton having just played there a month prior.
But I do have this weird feeling that we’re gonna get UT. Can’t explain it.
Or maybe I can. 6 whiskey & ginger ales.
do we actually have a shot at cotton/holiday
now that okie state wont go to a BCS game?
or is this guy not a mizzou fan?
ive been drinking too much

Taylor
Paul
Denmon

Hi Internet friends!
My heart rate has calmed a little — thanks to a little Victory Whiskey (copyright Big Head) — so I can offer some rational thoughts.
I Twittered right after the punt late in the fourth that it was the right call. It stinks that it got to that point, but it was the right call. Regardless of how it worked out - and obviously it did — it was the right call.
-Domino Axelrod isn’t just the best receiver in the Big XII. He isn’t just the best receiver in the country. He might be one of the best players in the country.
-Lost in all of this insanity is a really nice outing from Derrick Washington. 15 carries, 111 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Good, hard-nosed running when they needed it.
-Jasper Simmons, I love you, but this is a message that you’ve got to be ready to be The Man. The coaches didn’t necessarily help you with a gameplan, but you’ve got to start making some plays, buddy.
-Would you care to make a donation to the Grant Ressel Scholarship Fund?
-Sean Weatherspoon…um…buddy…you can’t rest on your laurels. You ain’t drafted yet, and this was a downright bad game for you.
-I made a very obscure reference on Twitter earlier, and I’ll repeat it here: Jerrell Jackson is the Missouri version of the former Illinois basketball player Frank Williams. And if you get that, you deserve a cookie.
-I love my school.
What do tigers dream of when they take a little tiger snooze? Do they dream of mauling zebras, or Halle Berry in her Catwoman suit?
I take it that your rights fee check is in the mail, right?
I mean, what would we drink tonight? Bud Select 55?
Pussies.
/totally drank a 6’er of it earlier.
//ashamed
Ressel isn't on scholarship yet?
Better lock that up, about 9/10ths of the schools in the country would love to offer him a scholarship and get him kicking for them.
Saffy with 5 points
…and two fouls already.

thoughts
- what a damn impressive win, our backs were against the wall and we pulled through, shows that we’re maturing as a team and makes me feel great about next year.
- Domino Axelrod is a ridiculous athlete wo flat out embarrasses people then poops on their chests
- OMFG I love Grant Ressel (no homo)
- to the 10 year old sitting behind me: COME TO EVERY MIZZOU GAME NEXT YEAR B/C YOU ARE A FREAKING LUCK CHARM
- ku fans can be are douches (threw salad on my families truck) weak but kinda douchy
- mangino’s tenure at ku is over and every all-you-can-eat buffet in lawrence can now reopen!!!!!
- kansas’s helmets were flat out stupid I get it, yo think your logo is cool, but you don’t have to put it on everytthing; helmets, band uniforms, glasses (I’ve seen them, yes they are etrocious)
- We win!!!!!! and that’s about it.

Congrats on the win.
Great game to watch, just went the wrong way today. Good luck in your bowl while we try to find a coach…hopefully one that doesn’t let the ’Hawks slip off the face of the earth and turn this game into a yearly ass-whooping.
I used to work with an old man that told me. Son, every workplace has a dumbass, if you don't have one where you work, then I'm afraid you're it.
Todd "Hoffa" Reesing
Kinda makes since considering both are rumored to be buried in an NFL stadiums endzone.
