So the Mizzou Network launched last night. (The Missourian wrote about it yesterday.) First impression: fantastic. I'm curious how much content is in the vault to begin with, and how much will reach the site, but they basically launched with lengthy highlight packages from most of the great, recent moments -- 2007 football versus Kansas, 2010 football versus Oklahoma, 2009 basketball versus Kansas -- and an old one: the 1961 Orange Bowl. Naturally, I gravitated toward the old one. Granted, Norm Beal's 90-yard interception return wasn't part of the package (I guess the tape from that play was messed up), but it is worth checking out. I'm really excited about where they could choose to go with this.

The Trib (Dave Matter): Future Tiger QB named Mr. OhioKenton, Ohio, quarterback and Missouri commitment Maty Mauk was named Mr. Ohio by The Associated Press, putting the future Tiger in elite company among past winners. Mauk, who leads Kenton High School into the Division IV state championship game Saturday, joins his older brother Ben Mauk and several college and NFL stars to have won the award, including four NFL first-round picks and a Heisman Trophy winner. Earlier this season, Mauk set the national high school career passing records for yards, attempts, completions and touchdowns.

Mizzou quarterback James Franklin, mystified by whipping winds in Arrowhead Stadium, threw picks on three consecutive possessions; the second set up a field goal (on a minus-1 yard drive), and Bradley McDougald returned the third for a touchdown. The turnovers gave the Jayhawks a 10-0 lead, but their offense just could not even pretend to get anything going. They gained just 137 yards for the game, and eventually Franklin found his composure (he completed six of seven passes in the second half for 128 yards and two touchdowns) and led the Tigers to a comfortable, 24-10 win in what might be the final Border War battle for a while.

Zoufan27 asks: Now that FB is down [sic] with the Big 12, where are the coaches going to start recruiting for the SEC?
PS: Gary Pinkel already announced that two coaches are recruiting Florida, and another has been sent to the Atlanta area. He didn't name names, but we already know that Josh Henson has been recruiting Florida, and I doubt that stops. The other coach, it appears, is running backs coach Brian Jones. Jones has an in-home visit with Largo (FL) tight end Sean Culkin scheduled for Thursday, so he could be that second coach. Then again, Jones may just have a connection in Largo; sometimes, boundaries overlap because of pre-existing relationships.
As far as Atlanta goes, that's the most intriguing part of this new-recruiting saga to me. One coach that could be sent there is Barry Odom, as he seems to be a strong up-and-coming recruiting coach, and his boundaries are spread out. Odom focuses mainly on East Texas, but he's also recruited Louisiana. Because he doesn't have a long-standing presence in some of these areas, it's more likely that he'll be shifted.
I also expect Missouri to look in the Memphis area, but at this point, that's just speculation. Pretty much any coach that's recruited East Texas could start making their way farther east, however. It's going to be a very interesting story to follow, and one I plan to cover at great extent during bowl practice and around Signing Day. - Dawg Sports: SEC Expansion: Divisional Realignment, and Rivalries: Walking a Fine Line Between Growth and Tradition

i know it's not likely,
but now that urban meyer is at ohio st., i’m concerned mauk may want to switch allegiances. meyer is a terrific recruiter as we’ve seen, and i don’t know what their qb situation is. i need some peace o’ mind.
In love with the new Gaknar avatar.
Sorry, TK.
I don’t have much to console you on this one other than the fact that Pinkel and company have developed a reputation for producing QBs that eventually find their way to the NFL.
One additionaly point: tOSU still has yet to see what type of punishment is going to get handed down and any recruit has to be asking themselves if they want to risk going to a school that might see bowl game bans or something similar to what USC is experiencing (and tOSU lacks the weather and scenery of So-Cal.)
Braxton Miller
was their QB this year. He just won B1G Freshman of the Year honors yesterday. Hopefully, that means they are set on QB, but with a new coach coming in…who knows.
This^^^
IMO Braxton is the future at Ohio St. He will be able to run Urban’s offense perfectly. Mauk has a chance to be a 3 year starter at MU, whereas he would be a 1 year starter at Ohio St, barring injury to Miller.
thanks, fellas. guess that's as good as it's going to get.

In love with the new Gaknar avatar.
you can also take solice in the fact that he is only a 3 star
and the 32nd rated player in Ohio. That’s not a knock on the kid, as I think he’s going to be great for this program and I don’t think the ratings dictate the future of the kid. But Ohio St and Urban Meyer are generally looking at what is presumed to be very elite talent.
Busting Bill C since September 19, 2011 10:19 CST, 8:19 PDT.
and he's not a huge kid, and meyer likes to run his qb.
i know all these things, i just have a (probably unwarranted) concern in this area.

So franklins junior year he will redshirt
Franklins senior year he will be an actual freshman and then he can start his sophmore junior and senior year years with the title redhirt sophmore etc on it while maybe being back up his freshman year if he beats out berkstressor???
redshirts still confuse me sometimes…
and during his first two year here
He can eat his bacon and wheaties and hit the weight room and hopefully put on about 20lbs.
maybe he can work out with the hoops team trainer, too.

Which would you pick?
“Hey Matt, you can come sit behind Braxton Miller for 3 years before backing up whatever next athlete I bring in to play QB, since my offense isn’t really suited for your skills.”
“Since I’ve been head coach year, my QBs have gone to the NFL. All of them. And I’m not above giving you playing time during their senior seasons to help break you in(if you’re ready), even in crucial situations.”
Obviously it’s more complex than that, but I’m not worried about it. And if he does bolt? Well, we’ve got 2 more years to find Franklin’s successor, a pretty solid recruit in his own right in Berkstresser, and a staff that has shown they can get it done with a wide variety of QB skillsets.

Reading some comments on the Dawg Sports story
gets me fired up. How can SEC fans, who are supposed to be extremely football savvy for the most part, not know what MU brings to the table? We obviously aren’t perinnial NC contenders. But in what we would all consider a “down” or “rebuilding” year, we have a better record than 6 SEC teams, and the same record as Auburn. All with roughly the 3rd toughest schedule in the country.
Sounds like we’ll be competitive to me, and that doesn’t take into account the number of tv sets, size of the enrollment, etc…

what bothers me is the comments we hear from Big 12 or SEC fans
that declare that the addition of Missouri dilutes their on the field product. This isn’t pouring water into a whiskey bottle. I don’t think these people understand what diluting means. If you take 90 proof whiskey and poor it into a 90 proof bottle of whiskey, nothing is being diluted.
At the very least, we are in the mid tier of that conferece, easily. We surely aren’t a great and storied program or currently a super strong team like an Alabama but we sure as hell aren’t Kansas pantywaste either.
I wasn't around much yesterday

Didn't know this rule exsisted.
At the 20 minute mark of the ’61 Orange Bowl film, did anyone else notice we punted and downed the ball at the 4 yd line only to have it ruled a touchback. The kicking team was not allowed to touch the ball inside the 20 yd line in 1961.

I saw that as well.
I’ve never really thought about what rules were different back then. Definitely interesting.
Oh the rules have been changed a whole lot
There used to be more rugby/soccer like substitution rules, where you had to stay in for the entire quarter. It used to be 5 yards for a first down before they allowed the forward pass. It even almost got banned by Teddy Roosevelt. Football sure has a great history to it.
I think football could stand to borrow a few rules from rugby
Like the rule that if you come off with an injury, you can’t go back in. That would put a stop to guys flopping to slow down the no-huddle.

Eh, that would be difficult, because then people would head-hunt, and there is no way to stop
And the actual rule (for college at least) is that for a blood-sub, the injured person can have a sub go out to play for him, and the injured player can come back in once the blood has been cleaned up or the injury fixed. So that has transitioned over to the game today.
I would like to see more of an emphasis in longer plays in football. If you run a toss play, why not have one player trail the runner ready to get the lateral? Such a simple play, and it would be extremely hard to defend (think hook and ladder-that’s the right term, correct?) Also, I think no pads would be cool.
The problem with the lateral play
would probably be the tendency to fumble. At least, that’s my first instinct. You don’t want to risk putting the ball on the ground more than you have to.
Yeah, the crazy laterals work some in that game
…but a crazy lateral also results in Navy’s 98-yard fumble return TD.

I knew about some of the differences with early football...
but didn’t ever consider that there were that many differences as “recently” as 1960. Didn’t Roosevelt actually fight to save football when many in this country wanted it banned? I remember reading that he helped reform football into a safer game.
You are correct
People wanted it banned because of the horrific injuries, and he reformed it. I might have to buy a book someone wrote about it, called The Big Scrum by John J. Miller
And think of the gap in the medical attention one received back then as opposed to now.
I couldn’t imagine suffering a compound fracture in 1912 and possibly having my limb sawed off because it was either unfixable or could result in a life threatening infection.
I would definitely not let my kids play football even for a full ride scholarship back in those days.
Eh, They wouldn't have to get it sawed off then, they had pretty advanced stuff compared to the Civil War
But a broken neck/back? Done. Any kind of head injury was bad news.
But ya, a lot of player’s parents thought that way. The ones who wanted to ban it were mostly the one who were of the Progressive movement, which was mainly comprised of the middle and upper classes, who coincidentally, were the ones who sent the kid’s to college in the first place.
There were LOTS of differences. Football used to have 3 downs, but some of the first games were at Harvard, and the field there was too small (only 100 yards long and 50 wide with short end zones), so they had to increase it to drop teams from 15 players on the field at once (like normal rugby) to 11. Then to generate more offence they had to add an extra down. Canadian football stuck with the bigger field and 12 players on at once, and allows essentially unlimited pre-snap motion from everyone but the linesmen, so they still have 3 downs.
Strange but true.
One old rule I liked was touchdowns
When you ran into the endzone, the play wasn’t over until you touched the ball to the ground, and that determined where on the field the point after was kicked. So one strategy was to try and run to either end of the field to give kickers the worst position.
GO GO FIGHTING METH AGGIES!
they tried to screw their own kickers? How very Pinkel of them. :-)
Never Forget Wolf Island, or pie. #AHAMF, it's vaguely sordid.
by Spider_Monkey on Dec 1, 2011 2:53 PM CST up reply actions
That is a Rugby rule
And the strategy is to run in to the try(end) zone and then run towards the middle to give the kicker a good attempt. But on some plays, you can only just make the corner, so the kicker has to take a pretty hard shot. But I do agree, they need to change up that rule, the extra point is pretty much useless now, and kickers are getting too good. Imagine having to kick the game winning field goal from the sideline
Also in theory you can try to hold someone up from touching the ball to the ground.
Football evolved out of rugby. Canadian teams were playing American ones and they each evolved their own version of it – and have kept evolving it over the intervening years, often picking up each other’s innovations. See here for a fascinating read about it.
thanks for that explanation of the now bizzare.

Wow
That is awesome. I never knew the size of the Harvard field helped shaped the game. Canadian football is very strange, I wish I could watch more of it.
Just finished watching 2007 Border War
there’s so many little things that offense, and especially Daniel, did that made that offense so beautiful to watch. Aside from some outstanding play calling and Daniel making his typical great decisions with the ball, so many plays were designed to allow the receiver to catch the ball going forward – little flares the flank, slants across the middle, etc. I compare it to defense in basketball, where you want to avoid letting your opponent catch the ball while moving towards the basket….the Tigers did a great job of putting the ball in the hands of a receiver moving towards the end zone (or sideline, if they needed to get out of bounds).

I really miss those beautiful slant routes.
It’s easy to tell the difference between Yost and Christensen after you watch some of the old games. I wonder, could the wide outs we have run those plays well? I have a hard time classifying our wide receive corps.
our wr's are undersized fullbacks.

I don't think it's the difference between Yost and Christensen
as much as it is the difference between Daniel and Franklin. Chase was an outstanding precision passer and understood the offense so well he could put the ball in front of a receiver every time. Much as I love Frank the Tank (and BG), he’s not that kind of passer just yet.

Based on current trends
Georgia – Likely loss depending on which Georgia team shows up
Kentucky – Likely win
A&M – Definite loss that will be turned into a win despite A&M’s superior talent
Vanderbilt – Close win
Arizona State – Win, because we aren’t losing to them twice
Southern Illinois – Likely win
@Florida – Most likely a loss
@Tennessee – Likely win
@Ole Miss – Likely win
@S. Carolina – Likely loss
@Miami-Ohio – Hopefully a win
Open Game – We’ll pretend it’s Kansas or an FCS team (but I repeat myself), so definite win
So ceiling of nine wins? That seems overly optimistic. Still, it’s a good starting schedule. No LSU, Arky, Alabama or Auburn.

Ya that might be tough. Is that list showing an actual potential schedule, in terms of having the OOC games later in the season?

Ok so this years HC was on the 15.
Projecting that schedule above with next years dates, the first game, potentially Georgia, is Sept. 1st, and that puts HC as on October 6th against Southern Illinois. But I highly doubt we have the first half of the season at home and the second half away. We are also missing one game still, two if you leave out the Kansas game.
I think it's an actual open date since we'll be going from 3 to 4 non-cons

This is tough to figure.
I don’t think they should schedule Southern Illinois for HC….But AZ State would be fun.

If Ole Miss is the west game, there isn’t a game on that schedule I’d concede as a loss.

I kind of agree
But then I think how much senior talent we are losing on both sides of the ball. But I agree, none of the games are write off losses. SCAR and Georgia are the only games that comes close to OU this year, and we gave them a scare, so ya, we should be very very competitive next year.
