The Trib (Dave Matter): Behind the Numbers: UNC passing attack
Dr. Saturday: Dwight Jones' '1st annual' birthday party nixes his last game at North CarolinaHere are some Bryn Renner splits to chew on …
He’s been excellent in the fourth quarter, completing 78.8 percent of his passes. That’s No. 1 among every FBS quarterback. His fourth-quarter rating (204.0) is fourth-best. His yards per attempt (8.2) is third-best. As good as James Franklin has been in the fourth quarter for Missouri this year, his counterpart has been better, at least as a passer. [...]
He’s posted a QB rating of 150.0 in eight of 12 games this season. By comparison, James Franklin has gone 150.0 or better five times. [...]
A quick note on Missouri’s pass defense. The numbers weren’t always pretty this season, but you’ll be hard pressed to find a defense that faced more prolific passing teams than Missouri. Consider …
Of the Tigers’ 12 regular-season opponents, seven are ranked in the top 17 nationally in passing yards per game: Oklahoma State (2nd), Oklahoma (4th), Baylor (5th), Texas Tech (6th), Arizona State (11th), Miami-Ohio (14th) and Texas A&M (17th).

PowerMizzou: Redshirt report: David Johnson - Awesome Quote About Aldon Smith
Mercury News: 49ers defense shines in 20-3 win over Pittsburgh SteelersRookie Aldon Smith recorded 21/2 sacks to give him a team-high 13 this season, the most ever by a 49ers rookie. Charles Haley held the previous record with 12 sacks in 1986.
"Is he No. 99? I would prefer not to talk about him," Roethlisberger said of Smith. "He's ... I'll just leave it at that."
Steelers defensive end Brett Keisel, however, was willing to elaborate about Smith: "He's a beast. Some of these kids come in, they just pick it up right away."

Post-Dispatch (Bryan Burwell): A hoop junkie revels in Big Three's success
Rush the Court: Considering the Big 12 Overachievers and PleasersIf I extend a circle around St. Louis and create a 2 1/2 hour radius, there are seven Division I basketball programs to keep your eye on, and four of them seem destined for postseason success (defending Missouri Valley Conference champ Missouri State is off to a 7-3 start). There has been a great tradition of strong college hoops in this area for a long time. From St. Louis U's championship in the NIT in 1948, to Illinois' miracle 2005 season when the Illini reached the national championship finals here at the Edward Jones Dome, to Mizzou's remarkable 2009 roll to the Elite Eight, college basketball season usually brings along something interesting for local hoop fanatics.
Between 2001 and 2007, we saw SIUC advancing to two Sweet 16s (2002 and 2007), make six NCAA trips and put together 27-, 28- and 29-win seasons. Since the mid- to late 1980s, we've witnessed Charlie Spoonhour lead both the SLU and Missouri State programs to the NCAAs.
Yet, it has been a while since Mizzou, SLU and Illinois have been on top together. The last time the Big Three made it to the NCAAs in the same season was the 1999-2000 season, when the Billikens and Tigers lost in the first round and the Illini reached the second round. We haven't seen four Division I area teams reach the NCAAs in the same season since 1994-95, when SLU (23-8), Mizzou (20-9), Illinois (19-12) and SIUC (23-9) received tournament berths.

Regarding Big Ben
“Is he No. 99? I would prefer not to talk about him,” Roethlisberger said of Smith. “He’s … I’ll just leave it at that.”
There are a lot of things in Big Ben’s history he would prefer not to talk about. He just sounds butt-hurt here.

The way my buddy uses it
Getting your feelings hurt, being offended or getting all bent out of shape because of something petty or stupid that is generally your own fault.
I think its a worthy term and don't understand why people get so butthurt about the use of the word butthurt?

it is often conveyed as a slur against the gay community
Similar to saying something is “retarded”, it can and does offend RMN users. So we just please ask that you try and not use it, thats all.

Yes, this.
There are far too many people in the world today that get offended. It is getting to be that you can’t say anything without offending someone. I am NOT politically correct and NEVER will be. This is still a free country. I am careful of what I say most of the time but, damn it everyday becomes more difficult. That being said I promise to offend a few of you sometime. Don’t take it personal. I don’t.

I'm sorry I was offensive to you.
I try very hard not to be offensive, but sometimes, I’m, well, offensive. I think it’s my offensive nature. When I was younger I always wanted to play on the offensive side of the ball. Never the defensive.

I think it just proves
that soccer players can’t make up their minds. Which is probably why they flop so much, it’s not intentional they just honestly can’t decide if the have just been shot in the kneecap or were lightly touched by another human. Also, thank you for calling it soccer and not futbol or whatever ridiculous name they have for it over there, this is uh’merica!

I was really excited when Guillermo del Toro was going to direct this, but after he dropped out, my expectations followed.
I still don’t see how they can stretch The Hobbit out into two movies without a lot of padding.
And Peter Jackson’s last few films (though I’ve enjoyed them) have reeked of hubris. Hopefully he can find the old magic back.

I’d imagine it’s two movies so we can see more of Gandalf’s investigation of the Necromancer.
that and
I really can see this as four hours, if they put a lot of screen time into Battle of the Five Armies and Smaug’s attach on the Lake town. What the book did in for those was maybe five pages, but on film, 20 minutes at least of good old fashioned sword play…

Enjoyed the quote, but I'm not a fan of Big Ben talking down to rookies.
He knows EXACTLY who Aldon Smith is.
I would think a guy with 10.5 sacks coming into the game
would get mentioned several times in your game planning, but maybe I’m wrong.

I think they ended up passing that blame on to someone else.
But yes, that happened.
Top Heavy Beer Drinker
I thought so, it seems like the author had it in there and then took it out
because there is a statement about not having any felony charges pressed, but the incident she cited MIP and DUI isn’t a felony (unless it’s his 3rd).
Busting Bill C since September 19, 2011 10:19 CST, 8:19 PDT.
Here's my problem with the whole premise of this article:
If PInkel gets caught driving drunk again, he’s fired. He’s getting a second chance just like Dalton got. I don’t see Pinkel beginning to give guys third and fourth chances because of this, and therefore “If Gary Pinkel knew then what he knows now…” I think the exact same thing would (and should) have happened.

if Pinkel does anything else
DUI or worse, I see him resigning on the spot.
Upholding fine Mizzou traditions in Maryland.
MvP, RoC official Nemesis
Exactly.
The article is implying hypocrisy (and is thus an ad hominem argument) where there is none……yet. If Pinkel were to keep his job after 3 offenses, then they’d have a point. But after one? Nope. He’s still, essentially, following the same process his athletes follow.
it also buries the fact that he got arrested again after being dismissed from the team
It sounds like Blaine is in a better place now, I hope that’s true. But I’m not sure what this article was supposed to be. Pinkel should let multiple DUI offenders stay on the team?
