First things first: congrats to Mizzou's Man of the Moment, Ian Kinsler! His two-run home run in the ninth inning last night put the Rangers up 5-1 in the deciding game of the ALDS.
Next things next: sound the alarms! Mizzou has another commit! His name is Brad McNulty, a thick (6'3, 309 pounds) offensive lineman out of Allen, TX. He is the 12th commitment (third offensive lineman) in what will likely be a rather small recruiting class. Welcome, Mr. McNulty!

- The Trib (Dave Matter): Yost talks QB, run game
On Gabbert's injury affecting play-calling ...
"You take it into account. What we do in a lot of our game, very seldom is he designed to run any more with what we do, especially with the bubble stuff. Will we run speed option? It might be in the plan, it might not be in the plan depending on if we like it or not and depending on how he goes throughout the week. Him pulling it and running it, that does happen sometimes. I think it’s happened four to five games on the season so far. But for the most part, we kind of control the backside end and the backside backer with the bubble more than the quarterback pulling it and running it. We still have that in the game plan."Will he still have to pull it? Yes. Even last year when he had his ankle, there were times against Colorado where he pulled two in that game and got over 10 yards. Also, they weren’t expecting him to pull it because of his ankle. You’ve got to be smart about when to get down. He went up and was actually going down when he got hit" on Saturday. "But he got hit very similar to the Michael Vick shot. He got hit on both sides at the same time. So, instead of getting hit on one side and giving, he got squeezed. That put a lot of pressure on that hip."

Pomping
Something I will never miss. Those long hours always killed me, especially around this time. Although we had 32 boards to pomp instead of the 16 now I believe.
Follow me on twitter: @joe_elliott
hattttted pomping.
Every time I put one down, the girls would rip it out.
Back on the scene, crispy and clean.
Hat-tip to Big 12 Hoops, but it appears that Baylor and Scott Drew may be under investigation by the NCAA.
Go Raiders . . .

Thank you RMN
For not being the Trib comment section….
So aggravating reading those. Even the ones trying to bring the crazies off the ledge are crazy. Sigh…
Bet me!
That's a pretty low bar to set...
…but I’m glad we clear it nonetheless.

In other recruiting news...
It would appear Mizzou’s top committ Anthony Pierson has decommitted for Mizzou. He is a running back out of Gateway Tech (Friend of Sheldon), who transferred to East St Louis for this year. He has said he wants to play corner in college, but with the silly numbers he is putting up for one of the top teams in the country, who knows.
In five games, he has 80 carries, 1,008 yards (12.6), 5 TDs.

from Mizzou, not for mizzou.
Annoying You Since 1986
Glad to see the E. St. Louis coach still resents us for Damien Nash.
He was trying to talk Pierson into opening up his options from day one.

please elaborate on this one...
I didn’t follow recruiting much back then.
Finds MvP RoC to be a stellar individual
When Pierson transferred to East St. Louis,
While committed to Missouri mind you…the coach said something of “Well now he will really get his name out there and open up his recruiting options.” He is a big time SEC homer.
Annoying You Since 1986
Gabe at PM can connect the dots a lot better than I can...
…but basically the general outline is as follows:
1. Damien Nash (from ESL) committed to Mizzou early on in the Pinkel regime (his second recruiting class, I think), and it was a huge, huge deal. He was one of the bigger recruits from this area in recent history, and it was a big statement for Pinkel to land him.
2. Nash didn’t qualify and went to JUCO (Coffeyville, I think). While at JUCO, he tore up his knee.
3. He showed up at Mizzou in 2003 and was still working through the knee injury. He was a backup to Zack Abron, and he showed occasional burst (I think he had a really nice run against Iowa State at the end of the season), but the knee (and a rumored poor work ethic) was holding him back.
4. In 2004, he had his chance to be “the man” at Mizzou, but he was still having fluid drained from the knee often, and when the team began to struggle, he started bitching about the play-calling and becoming a pretty poor locker room presence. (He was the reason Tony Temple had his redshirt torn off that year — bitching about the coaching got him suspended for Nebraska, and apparently the coaches didn’t feel comfortable with Marcus Woods taking on the whole load in Lincoln.)
5. After 2004, he declared early for the NFL draft even though he wasn’t ready, and Mizzou did not try to talk him out of it.
6. ESL’s coach still seems to blame Mizzou for Nash never becoming the All-American everybody expected (even though the constant knee troubles and cancerous attitude — rumor has it that he told Laurence Maroney not to come here on his recruiting trip because this was his team and there wouldn’t be any carries for Maroney — were clearly the cause). There have always been rumors of him trying to steer kids (like Illinois’ Terry Hawthorne) away from Mizzou, and as MUTIGERS86 mentioned above, when Pierson (a long-time Mizzou commit) transferred there, the first thing the coach did was try to convince him to open up his recruiting.
7. Apparently it worked, and Pierson has indeed opened up his recruiting. He’s related to Sheldon Richardson, and there’s a chance that he still ends up here, but yeah … it appears that the ESL coach is going out of his way to convince kids not to come to Mizzou. Which is pretty awesome.

I remember the rancor over Nash on TB
“fire pinkle, he wouldn’t start an nfl back”
IIRC, wasn’t Nash the one who talked to Whitlock about the team, questioning the playcalling, etc?

ESL is also under investigation by the IHSA right now
They’ve had a whole slew of issues in recent years that are coming to the table.
Pinkel was interviewed on The Experts last night
And he adamantly refused to call Les Miles insane. On a related note, apparently you can bounce the ball off the turf and have it repeatedly hop up to the receiver.
Football's
basically basketball on grass, right? Or have I been horribly wrong all these years…………..
that was Don Faurot's opinion
but I’m pretty sure the pass Gaknar is referencing was a just barely a lateral

I honestly haven't seen the play.
Just going for a little humor.
by Babbalynski on Oct 13, 2010 10:00 AM CDT up reply actions
The play was...
the holder tossed the ball over his head, it bounced off the turf right to the receiver who ran it out. The conventional wisdom was that it was a lucky bounce, but The Experts ran the play a few times and showed that if you tossed the ball a certain way, it consistently bounced straight up as intended. Basically, you spiral the ball but instead of throwing it end first as in a normal pass, you throw it sideways such that the ball is spinning along it’s long axis but moving perpendicular to the long axis. The widest part of the ball hits the turf and the spin causes it to bounce straight up. It was kind of neat to see it in action.
McNulty? Seriously?
That guy’s nothing but trouble. Authority issues, alcoholic, cheats on his wife, godawful fake Baltimore accent… why do want a character like that on our team?
…
Damn good police though
Elke ware zoon, zo blij van harte / Hemels boven ons zijn blauw / Er is een geest zo diep binnen ons / Oud Missouri dit is voor jou / Waneer de band het Tijger oorlogslied speelt / En wanneer de strijd over is / We zullen stampen, stampen, stampen, rond de kolommen / Met een kreet voor oud Mizzou!

Mizzou fans take note: First-Ever's do happen! Congrats to the Texas Rangers
for your first ever post season series win… No-longer are you the only MLB franchise that has never achieved this feat. Now go beat the Yankees.

Anyone know where/when they go on sale? Coming in from out of state and want to make sure I have them in hand.
First looking at English's picture of the new uniforms, I didn't like 'em.
But they actually look really tight.
