Mizzou Links, 8-25-09

No practice reports today...sniff...my life is empty.

Mizzou Football Links!

  • KC Star: Sean Weatherspoon knows he can't stand alone
    [A]s much of a force as Weatherspoon has become at linebacker for Mizzou, he is the first to point out that no linebacker can stand alone.

    “Defense is all about team,” Weatherspoon said.

    Especially on a team that appears ready and able to depend on six linebackers — a full two deep at every position — to lead a defensive resurgence in Columbia.

    “Spoon is a great player, a great playmaker,” said reserve backer Will Ebner, a sophomore who may be the hardest hitter at the position for MU. “But on every play he’s got his gap, and I’ve got my gap. It’s all assignment football.

  • KC Star: DC's newest QB star: Chase Daniel in mix for roster spot
    The undrafted ex-Heisman Trophy contender from Missouri entered training camp with long odds to make the Redskins roster. But coach Jim Zorn declared Monday that Daniel was now on solid footing in a battle for the third-string job.

    "The competition right now is for the No. 3 spot," Zorn said. "And Chase is making a statement about that."

    The new player on the bubble is second-year quarterback Colt Brennan, who was expected to challenge veteran Todd Collins for the No. 2 spot. Brennan was the star of last year's preseason, but he's already thrown two interceptions this August.

Big 12 Links!

So you thought Nebraska was going to win the North until their backup running back was kicked off the team, and now they're not?  Really?  As I said in another thread, Castille's departure just really isn't that big a deal.  He was second-string, meaning he was technically better than the third-stringer, and therefore there's at least a little bit of drop-off, but...again, dude was the backup running back.  He looked great against Clemson in the bowl, but the game before that, he had 12 carries for 12 yards against Colorado.  He had 11 carries for 100 yards against Kansas and Kansas State...and 14 carries for 36 yards against Baylor and Oklahoma.  He had 11 carries for 70 yards against Iowa State...and 15 carries for 36 yards against Missouri and Texas Tech.  He was inconsistent, and for a big back, he didn't run with that much power.  Stick to your guns, Griffin.  If you thought NU was going to win before, that shouldn't change now.

Just about the perfect Lou Holtz post.  I have nothing to add, other than yet another restatement that I feel embarrassed watching him on television, and I wish he would go away.

And finally...for no particular reason...Rolandis Woodland dances...

Is there anyone in college football that has added more gibberish

over the last few years than Lou Holtz? Well, other then spit on the camera lens.

Respect and honor your opponent, unless that opponent is a fictional bird. In which case you hit him until he falls, kick him until dead and burn the remains.

The only one who has come close...

…is Andre Ware, but it’s pretty clear that gibberish = more face time. It’s the old “they hate him, but they’re talking about him, and if they’re talking about him, that means they’re watching” canard…which, of course, backfires against them in my own personal case, as I’ve stopped watching College Football Live completely.

The only thing I watch on ESPN is games

Nothing else. No SportsCenter, no GameDay, nothing.

I'm still a sucker for Gameday

And, really, not that ashamed to admit it.

by RPT on Aug 25, 2009 9:24 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Gameday, yes...still watch that...

…I tried to watch Gameday Final just to catch highlights I’d have otherwise missed, but Lou really did ruin that one for me…

Good.

Because Fowler continues to be one of the most appreciated members of the college football illuminati. Herbie may be somewhat overexposed, but is still one of the best analysts on television. Yeah, Corso can be a beating, but it sure beats the hell out of a lot of the alternatives. And, collectively, they just ooze a love for college football that’s contagious.

Don’t get me wrong — Gameday isn’t without faults. But it sure beats so much more of the potential and existing programming.

Yep Gameday is pretty solid, a good way to start the Saturday morning.

….and always look for the WSU flag.

I can’t stand Lou. Pretty much everything else is annoying. Sometimes Baseball Tonight is OK.

..but Gameday is pretty fun.

When super delayed gratification meets with underachieving veteran they laugh at the Royals, just a hypothesis though

Saw that.... Greatness.

Big ups for the EDSBS bump on that post as well.

Waiting for another video...

Jaron Baston covering Bone Crusher dressed as, well, Bone Crusher. Wouldn’t have to do much.

And somebody...

Give Rolandis Woodland a sandwich. Please.

Screw that.

Give ‘em all to L’Damian Washington.

by RPT on Aug 25, 2009 9:54 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

bingo...

…L’Damian needs to catch up to Ro before we can help Ro.
