- KC Star: Missouri without Blaine Gabbert? It almost happened
Pinkel downplayed the what-if scenario regarding Gabbert.
"If J-Mac (former All-American Jeremy Maclin) didn’t come here, would I still be standing here?" Pinkel countered.
Frankly, Missouri probably would be without another rising sophomore star if Gabbert had stuck with his commitment to Nebraska.
Wes Kemp, a receiver who caught Gabbert’s first college touchdown pass last Saturday, was headed for Wisconsin.
Soon after Gabbert ditched Nebraska for Missouri, Kemp received a text message from the soon-to-be Tiger quarterback. Soon after that, Kemp swapped allegiance from Wisconsin to Mizzou.

Fans at Memorial Stadium can also expect an improved sound quality. In the past, Moller said, some fans have complained that they could not hear the game at certain spots in the stadium.
"Our old system was pretty antiquated," Moller said. "If you added up the number of complaints and concerns you received from fans over the years, far and away that’s what people wanted improved the most," he said. "As impressed as people are going to be with the new video board, they’re going to be even more satisfied with the new sound system."

Hate to say this, but part of me is thinking Bradford shouldn’t return.
...
Bradford knows what’s best for him, and so do his consensus All-American parents.
But here is what would happen if Bradford opted not to return:
→ Coach Bob Stoops wouldn’t field daily questions about Bradford’s injury.
→ Playbook changes wouldn’t be changed back upon Bradford’s return.
→ Every OU player, coach and fan wouldn’t have one eye on the sideline, wondering when Bradford might return.
→ Redshirt freshman and replacement quarterback Landry Jones wouldn’t be looking over his shoulder.
→ Players in the Sooner offensive huddle wouldn’t be looking over Jones’ shoulder.
You get the idea.

Yeah, Bradford should just shut it down because it'll make Landry Jones paranoid. Uh huh. What a great idea. OU might go 7-5 instead of still fighting for 11-1, but hey...at least Bob Stoops won't have to answer any more questions about him! Oy...

- The Trib: Phil Pressey paying a visit
Longtime Missouri recruiting target Phil Pressey will make his official visit to Columbia this weekend. The diminutive point guard from the Episcopal School of Dallas should have a fairly typical recruit experience, watching current Tigers take part in individual workouts on Saturday afternoon and attending the Missouri football team's home opener against Bowling Green that night.
..."He likes them," Pressey's high school coach, Corey Henderson, said of his interest in the Tigers. "He's done some unofficial visits, so he's seen the campus. He talks about their great facilities, the coaching staff, the players.
"At this point, when you've narrowed it down to X amount of schools, if there was a school that's on that list, that means he's really, really serious about that school. There's not a school on that list that he's not serious about. He's taking his time and digesting all of it and just trying to figure out what's the best fit for him."

Completely...
And I think the music would have to be classical in nature. Not Mozart, but something similar. The theme from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves comes to mind (not Brian Adams).

As much as I can't stand them ...
… the intro at Nebraska is pretty damn impressive (where they show highlights of years past, highlight the Sears Trophies and then you follow the team as they walk from the locker room out onto the field). I know we don’t have the tradition of Nebraska (that fact may or may not have been mentioned a few times in discussions I’ve had with Husker fans), but we could still put together a great “new tradition” highlight package.

I've laughed at Tunnel Walk many times...
… But getting the crowd fired up by watching the team come down the tunnel is a great idea. It’s a lot like watching A&M march in behind the drum cadence.
Not to mention, their 2009 video is awesome, primarily because they focused on the tradition, like you said. It’s a MAJOR upgrade from the stupidity that was their 2007 video. Bill Callahan’s administration couldn’t run a football team, and apparently they couldn’t run gameday ops either.
this would be awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think we are all missing the obvious intro song.
There is only one Chingachook, and he gets shit running!!
Holy sweet mother, DUCK!!!! Hawkeye is a great shot.
NCAA Football; better than everything. That is an understatement.

I am SO sick of hearing about the scoreboard.
Especially the comments in the Trib, where the academic purists have degenerated in a glorified version of this scene.
yeah, well...
They need something to complain about. But I agree, it’s a scoreboard. Was there this much hoopla when the previous one was installed?
And didn’t the money for these scoreboards come from a surcharge to parking passes last year?

IT TOOK OUR JIRBS!
If it didn’t come from that, it will at least pay for itself through advertising.
Thanks for pointing it out
it’s fixed now

Not to give anything away...
…but all RMNers should check back around these parts at about noon or so. Just sayin’.

I must admit
I was woefully ignorant of Gabbert’s initial commitment to Nebraska. My homer mind cannot fathom Blaine in red & white.
