Dave Matter Bowl official tells me buzz among bowl folks is that Meineke Car Care favors A&M, Pinstripe likes #Mizzou & Iowa State becomes at-large
FavoriteRetweet
For aesthetics alone, I would not at all mind a Pinstripe Bowl bid. Even if travel would be difficult, the pictures would be neat, and it would offer an opportunity to tie this game in to Mizzou's 1930s trips to Yankee Stadium to face NYU. Win, win!

Post-Dispatch: Pinkel finally speaks on SEC move"Certainly, recruiting-wise, we've already done that; we've made a couple adjustments," he said during the Big 12 media teleconference. "We're going to put one of our coaches into Atlanta and put two in Florida."
Pinkel, who previously had deferred comment to the end of the season, said to some degree those adjustments already have been made but will be solidified going forward.
He said Mizzou still is weighing how many assistants will continue to work in Texas, where MU has mined a number of key recruits in Pinkel's tenure and which has supplied about three dozen current Tigers.
"We're kind of looking at that right now, in terms of (what is) the right thing to do?" he said.

Florida Today: Blaine Gabbert benched in Jaguars' loss
We Are Mizzou: Tigers in the NFL
It's kind of been a worst-case scenario for Blaine Gabbert this year. Before the season began, I expressed the desire for him to get a redshirt year of sorts and sit behind an established veteran. Then the Jags released said veteran. Then Gabbert got thrown into the fire with no conceivable skill position talent around him (aside from MJD, of course). Tight end Marcedes Lewis cannot catch his passes for some reason, and the receivers are terrible. He's getting the yips (as any of us probably would have expected him to), and the year has been something of a disaster. His career could really follow one of two paths, then: either this becomes a learning experience, and his instincts continue to get honed toward competence in the future ... or the yips never go away, and he never gets any confidence in his surroundings. Hoping for the former, obviously. One bad rookie year does not a bad career make, but I still wish he'd been on the bench this year.

What conference is the opponent there? Realize I could google it but my fingers are frozen from walking the dog.

That would be fun! I would love to go to that!
Rutgers, not so much.

Oh Lord
As a Missourian (and big Tiger fan) and Rutgers degree holder (and slightly less big Scarlet Knight fan) I have long dreaded this matchup, just because I won’t have a ton of fun either way it goes.
I suspect I’ve watched more RU than anyone else here, and I will say that if Mizzou plays Rutgers, there’s really no reason Mizzou shouldn’t win pretty big. It would be fascinating to see how Mizzou tries to cover Sanu, who is one heck of a player.

Gabbert sure is taking a beating (duh factor, I know)
He was screwed from the get go. If he would’ve stayed, he would’ve entered the Draft with the likes of Keenum and Luck. He probably would have been further down in the draft. It was probably the best that he went when he did (as I say this very reluctantly). But then he goes high in the draft, gets screwed by the lockout, gets stuck with a crappy Jacksonville and his reputation takes a bigger hit. So did he do himself a favor by going to the draft early or would he have done himself a favor by sticking it out but taking a lesser draft pick?

More on Kansas, because we can all use a laugh.
Bill didn’t include this link but I stumbled across it this morning and couldn’t help but laugh.
When asked about the attractiveness of the football job that’s now open at Kansas, Self talked about it being a great opportunity.
"I would rank it definitely as a good job. I don’t think that the football job at KU is the equivalent of the basketball job at KU because there’s not as much history and tradition. But I do think this; we’re still selling the same product. We’re selling the school, the education, the conference. I think it’s really a good job. And I think it will definitely attract a lot of people. It’s been proven that you can win big here."
Really Mr. Self? You have the advantage of selling the Big XII, the conference that is so elite that it has driven off four different members? I am also intrigued by the claim that KU has proven that coaches can win big there. Let’s see…your best team was in 2007, that team didn’t have to play Texas or OU (no longer something they can get by with in the new Big XII) and the single loss was to your rival, Mizzou.
There’s your selling piont: "Good news prospective coach! You won’t have to play our traditional rival because the KU administration is scared of them and are outraged that they left the Big Failure for the SEC!

Is that man a product of having a last name like that?
Or is it just irony?

He's not selling the conference to future members...
… he’s selling it to recruits, and for what it’s worth, the Big 12 is still a hell of a basketball conference.

And strangely
top to bottom, the Big 12 is the tougher football conference this year.
Proud Meth Aggie since 2011.
The quote is a bit out of context without the rest of the article.
The article is about what Self thinks about the football position. In that light you have to admit that his comments are a bit laughable.

Sound like he's selling the Head Football Coach Possition
to any idiot who’d be dumb enough to buy it. Unless they like collecting millions of dollars over a 2-3 year period for doing nothing. Outside of ruining their D1 Head Coach resume.
That's like an infinite amount of money per win

Matter on twitter is saying that Sheldon has mentioned "childhood dreams" and "NFLBOUND"
Who knew our football team turned into Memphis basketball?
But really…hopefully he is just kidding because this would be almost a deathblow to the defense next year
I'd take it with a grain of salt.
SHELDON RICHARSON likes to talk and make waves. Also, I don’t think he produced enough to get a good draft grade. One more year.

Rocky Balboa once told me, "Nothing is real if you don't believe in who you are."
oops.
RICHARDSON. Don’t kill me.

Rocky Balboa once told me, "Nothing is real if you don't believe in who you are."
That was my gut reaction
Now that I think about it.. ya. Whatever. Go if you want. If you want to be gone that bad then go. I’d rather take someone who wants to lay the groundwork for out program in the SEC over just getting to the pro’s.
Trick question
The SEC is the pros.

I thought his childhood dream is hating people from Texas.
Kid talks a good game, but I think the NFL will decide whether it wants him yet, and some back channel there will settle it. Probably, I would guess, in Mizzou’s favor.
so....the holiday isn't happening?

Gotta admit, Wan . . .

That said, I don’t think you are in any danger of losing your job due to your participation here at RMN.
