Mizzou Football Links
A few different times in the first half of last Saturday's game in Waco, I found myself thinking, "Man, I'm starting to become really impressed with Braylon Webb." So naturally, he got hurt. And naturally, his replacement (Matt White) got burned on two long passes and a long run in the second half. And naturally, he'll now miss the Texas game.
(Also: I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Sheldon was joking around a bit with the "I hate people from Texas" stuff since, you know, half the damn Mizzou team is from Texas.)

Central Missouri must be pretty decent because Missouri only beat them by 18, and I really didn't find too much to complain about. Mizzou shot over 50 percent and had five guys in double-figures; Kim Anderson's squad was probably allowed to grab a few too many rebounds, I guess, and Kadeem Green fouling out in 12 minutes was disturbing, but otherwise I think they earned what they got. Expect a post-exhibitions Study Hall post before Friday's season opener versus SEMO.

SEC
I was very surprised to see the South Carolina president come out and say that the SEC would move to a nine-game conference schedule when they expanded to 14 teams. Turns out, he was both premature and incorrect. Things could change, I guess, but Mike Slive now says they will stay at eight. Obviously that makes things at least a bit easier, though since Mizzou only had three non-conference opponents lined up for 2012 (Southern Illinois, Arizona State, at Miami-Ohio), expect Missouri to scrounge around for another cupcake.

Other Mizzou Links
Mizzou Volleyball is back to .500 in conference (they've won three matches in a row), and they're now 20-9 overall, so I'm feeling quite a bit better about their NCAA Tournament chances now. The home stretch is interesting, however -- they face two excellent opponents (Iowa State, Texas) at home and two incredibly beatable opponents (A&M and Tech, both of whom fell in four sets in Columbia) on the road. Really, anything between an 0-4 and 4-0 finish are possible, though 2-2 would be very, very beneficial to the postseason cause.

In regard to the Penn State matter, I'll just consolidate what I said on Twitter last night: I have said very little about the Sandusky situation overall, and for two main reasons: 1) First of all, Spencer Hall and Matt Hinton said 90% of what I might have thought to say below, and 2) I hate seeming like i'm just jumping on the moralism bandwagon if I have nothing original to say. One thing, however: I root for, enjoy and write about a sport that often employs cheaters and creates easy-to-skirt regulations. All I ask is that the people who oversee the athletic departments -- the athletic directors, the university higher-ups, etc. -- actually oversee them. Don't cover up for them. Make sure that if they are skirting your university's values and calling, they do not get away with it. Because they won't always get away with it, and it will fall on you. I wouldn't think this is too much to ask, but evidently it is for some.
Also: I ask that the people who claim to be religious and of high moral fiber ... act on said moral fiber, even if it puts you in a difficult situation. And while I understand the power (and draw) of a good-ole boy network in life (I've certainly benefited from having a little network of friends/connections at times), if someone in your good-ole boy network is a goddamn pedophile, then good-ole boy rules no longer apply.
This is, for now, mostly directed at the Penn State athletic director and the other higher-ups currently looking at the blade of an ax. I have not yet figured out what I think about Joe Paterno himself. I have heard that he is quite hands-off in general when it comes to making friends with staff members, and there is a chance that he truly didn't know much in regard to this. What he was told and when are still a bit unclear to me. But the odds are good that he knew enough to act and didn't, and ... that makes me both sad and angry. We'll see how this unfolds.
One thing I know for certain, however: I could care less what recruits think about this right now. My goodness. I know we all want this saga to be through, and when it is through, then recruiting fallout will matter. But it doesn't right now, not even a little bit.

In 5 years, I will have forgotten kansas.
If the rivalry is broken for 1 year, it is lost to me forever. I wish to continue to play them in all sports forever unless they decide to end it. If to end it is their decision, then it ends for me forever. I can move on.

I agree completely . . .
. . . the magic of the Big 8 has been long gone, and the rivalry with Kansas grew stale for me once I left campus.
I enjoy great competition and will trade smack talk with anyone as part of that competition, but I never really hated anyone from Kansas: for me, it was all about competition and beating them on the field of play.
I would not have voted to leave the conference, but now that it has happened, I really don’t care what happens to the rest of the teams in the Big Something – at least until we meet them again on the field. Then, they are once again the enemy of the moment and my battle cry will be . . .
Go Mizzou!

Speaking of cupcakes for 2012
I’ve read where we are still under contract with kU to play at Arrowhead next year. I’m sure they’ll get out of it, but we may not have to look far since that will bring in $$ for both teams.
That would be a delicious cupcake
Though now that we’re in the SEC, I hope in the next few years they (I guess it’s we now, huh?) snag a couple more schools on the East side (I’ve heard it would be Clemson and VTech, but that’s besides the point) and go to 16 teams. That way we could be in the Western division, where we belong, and we could go to a schedule of 7 intra-divisional games and 4 alternating inter-divisional games for an 11 game conference schedule. It would be tough, but every game would matter and we’d still have a spot for that divisional rivalry game in KC.

OU and OSU
would be my choice. They have shored up the academic side with us and A&M, OU and OSU (assuming they, mainly OSU, maintain fball at a consistent top 15ish level) would reinforce the fball strength, and provide lovely western partners in a SEC bordering state. And you get all of OK, for what that’s worth. Would be logical that there would be a rearrangement based on geography at that point- which should leave us with a very convienent travel division.
Of course the ‘golden handcuffs’ probably delay that at least 5 years, unless OU/OSU/UT get really sick to their stomach looking at what they are now stuck with conference-wise, and have hidden some kind of lock pick somewhere.
That would be cool to
But everything I’ve read indicates the SEC’s next move would be to expand eastward. But who knows what’s going to happen?

I think they would gladly take Oklahoma if available
oSu, I don’t know. I don’t know how valuable wrestling national championships are to the SEC.
GO GO FIGHTING METH AGGIES!
Keep in mind...
If OU/OSU comes to the SEC, it will only be because Mizzou seduced them away from a now perfectly stable conference, thus making us still solely responsible for the death of the Big 12.
I wonder if the SEC understands the power we wield?
BTW SEC, we’re going to be moving the SEC Championship Game to Kansas City. Because that’s how we roll.
GO GO FIGHTING METH AGGIES!
No, obviously it's going to St. Louis.
Because everyone knows St. Louis pushed for the SEC (more accurately the B1G) just to spite KC.

8 we know of.
from the info we have on this guy, one could surmise that is a fraction of them. innocent lives scarred forever by one sicko and people who cared more about the psu brand than children. i’m done with this now, literally sick to my stomach.

Another witness against them all in the afterlife.
absolutely there is plenty of blame to share
the grad assistant, the AD, possibly the district attorney who didn’t press charges way back (weirdly enough he went missing in 2005 and no one has seen him since).
But people in the media are trying to act like JoePa did all he could do. Other people are trying to say that we don’t know what happened so we can’t rush to judgment.
Joe Paterno testified, under oath, that Mike McQueary told him that Sandusky was doing something of a sexual nature to a young boy.
Joe Pa states the he was told. There is no doubt that everyone knew the police weren’t involved. Those 2 facts are enough. He should be fired. He shouldn’t get to resign. Or step down. He should be fired. He should be booted out of the hall of fame.
A human like that doesn’t really deserve to live in our society, he certainly doesn’t deserve to be revered in it.

I thought of my own 10 year old son. I first read about it on I think cnn of all places and stopped reading halfway through because it upset me. I decided to finish reading because I felt maybe in a small way I wasn’t just closing the door on the victims like some people did to cover up but in reading and thinking of them I could remember the victims and pray for their future.
the really scary thing?
these sickos are increasing in number. if this incident doesn’t make your skin crawl, that nugget of info will. and you’re right, those affected definitely need prayer, as they’ll fight that the rest of their lives.

The Matt Millen interview on ESPN gave an awesome insight to this whole thing
it makes you sick to see that this could happen to this level, if in fact it has happened, you know there is a part of me like i mentioned earlier, you just want to go take care of it yourself. which is what i have always done and which is the wrong thing to do. but this is more than just a program. this is more than a football legacy. this is about people. and if we can’t protect our kids, we as a society are pathetic. so, that is where i stand on it.
This is the part of the interview where he started to get very emotional, and despite having played for both JoePa and Sandusky in the 70’s his disgust was extremely evident.

Any arguments of plausible deniablitity and such is complete BS.
Listening to ESPN radio this morning, and they had the local ESPN reporter from PSU on Mike & Mike. Apparently, Sanduskey was still allowed to have kids with him on campus and at football practices AS RECENTLY AS 2007. So at the very least, Joe Pa, the AD, the grad assistant, and everyone else that knew enough about Sandusky to ban him from having kids on campus, WERE STILL LETTING HIM HAVE KIDS ON CAMPUS FOR AT LAST 5 MORE YEARS!!! I’m absolutely speachless about the basic moral failures of so many individuals in that program, and it will probably take me a while to form any actual cogent thoughts about the situation as a whole. Disgusting, despicable, disturbing, shamefull, depressing…
And another thought – regarding the 2002 incident, how did all these people, the GA, Paterno, the AD, etc., not even try to help the poor kid that was being assaulted. According to the GA himself, he witnessed an old man (who he obviously recognized) assaulting a 10 YEAR OLD BOY…and decided the best action was to call his dad. Why did you not try to stop him? Why did you not try to remove the boy from the situation? If you were scared Sandusky would hurt you, why did you not go straight to the cops? Soooo many questions, and I’m sure all we’ll get from everyone involved “I did what I was supposed to do.” And all the while, this monster was allowed to continue preying on children for another decade, while everyone conveniently turned a shoulder.

And Paterno needs to be gone ASAP.
Retiring on your own terms as an all-time great coach is a priveledge, and quite frankly, he has lost that priveledge in my opinion. No, he will not face any legal issues, but he also does not deserve to coach another single day.
How can you have spent the last 10 years (at least) knowing that there was a predator roaming your facilities and locker rooms (your sactuary!) and walk into the living room of a 16 or 17 year old recruit, and tell his parents that you were going to mold their boy into a man? It is a PRIVELEDGE to be able to do so and coach at the highest level, and he has absolutely lost that priveledge. Like I said, I am not calling for him to be jailed, but he absolutely DOES NOT DESERVE TO COACH ANOTHER DAY. But, the cynic inside of me knows that will not be the case. So dissapointing. And to think, I used to respect this man….
but what about the game plan for the weekend? Injuries? Special teams?

to develop LHN and, for OU, to keep its option to develop its own network, and for UT’s boy in the commissioner’s seat to leave. Hooray, long-term stability (of 6 years) is here to stay.

And losing a quarter of the conference, including two schools that sided with OU and Texas in blocking those reforms

What a glowing revue of him too!
I think the description of Denmon was so profound and lengthy! Must be the longest one written about anyone player in that list!

yeah, should have mentioned it was a good read other than denmon's spot.

Boren praises Neinas for keeping the Big 12 together
..but..he did not? Am I missing something? Neinas could not get Mizzou to stay, so infact since Neinas was hired the Big 12 did not stay together, they lost another school.
Nevermind. Congrats on a non-good non-bad job there Neinas.

WVU was always a B12 member at heart. MU had been trying to break up the 12 since the 80's or something.

NYTimes is reporting his exit is being planned
Unclear if it will be tomorrow, next week, or end of the season.
I don't think it should have been a great career
unless we are talking about everything pre-2002. After that incident, he is getting half of what he deserves.

Don't mean to rant
But I could care less about Joe Paterno at this point. Football is a game. Nothing more, nothing less. We all love it, but when something like this happens, it should never get in the way of justice. I know that man was a good coach for a long time. But the lives of 8+ children are infinitely more important than that.
I completely agree here.
People want to talk about his “legacy” on the field. This is soooo much bigger than some stupid legacy. I’m sure we’ll never know how much he actually knew and hid, but just based on what we do know, he should get the Pete Rose treatment from college football.
Just put him out to pasture already…
I only was able to to watch the second half of last nights game.
I have a question about how everyone feels about our team. It seems to me we still rely heavily on the 3 point shot however last night not so much we only took 19 which for us seems to be pretty good. Last year and I know this was an entirely different system the fewer 3 pt attempts seemed to relate to a better game and usually a win. I love the 3 pt shot but it seems we have too many guys that love it too much. We attempted 31 against Truman St. and 24 against MSSU. This probably could also relate to how much foul trouble our bigs are in.
Re JoePa
Spencer brought this up in his article at SBnation, but folks: if you ever hear of anything like this remotely going on, call the cops or DFS. Anyone can report abuse of a child or even suspected abuse, and it’s so much less bad to have it investigated and turn up nothing than to let something like this continue. Mrsjschooltiger is an elementary school counselor and sees way too much of this. She was completely appalled when I told her about this.

Exactly.

while i agree totally with you,
NEVER EVER do this as some sort of stupid prank. while lives can certainly be messed up by abuse, they can also be messed up by false accusations. be responsible. i know this should go without saying, but i’ve seen it happen.

Talk to your kids
My 13 year old and I were listening to Cowherd yesterday morning talk about the Penn State situation. He had some questions and I provided answers. Take this opportunity to remind your kids that it is never okay to have an adult touch you and there is no shame in reporting it to your parents(first), teacher, police, etc. Also listen to your inner voice, if it says something is wrong its because it probably is.

Petros actually was one of the few on Fox that pulled for Mizzou in 2007
and he doesn’t require a mic to be heard.
