Around SBN: Full Coverage of 2012 Coke 600

Justin Smith is arguably the best player to come through Missouri in decades and undoubtedly had one of the most unique recruiting stories. Smith pledged a verbal commitment to Missouri shortly after his junior year at Jefferson City. And that was it. No visits. No wavering. No nothing other than a quick trip north on Highway 63.

"It's close, and both of my parents went there, so I figured I might as well,'' Smith told the Tribune way back in June 1997. At the time, Smith was already a 239-pound two-way standout for the Jays, playing defensive end and tight end. David Smith, Justin's dad, recalled having piles of letters from every school in the country, but Smith didn't care. His mind was made up. And that was that.

But …

A few days before national signing day, the Smiths got a call. (I'd never heard this story until David shared it last week.) A guy named Steve was on the phone, calling from Florida. Steve Spurrier. [...]

"I know we’ve never called you or contacted you," Smith recalled Spurrier saying. "And we know you gave a verbal to Mizzou. And we know you've got like 23 relatives who graduated from Mizzou and that it's only 29 miles away from home. We don't want to harass you on your decision, but our All-American tight end just went down with a torn ACL and we think you can come in here and play."

He grabbed a hold on his way out of bounds

from what I gathered in researching, it's really a matter of what you're looking for

Nook Tablet has more (and expandable) memory, better hardware, and can be converted to the Android OS with a pre-loaded microSD. It’s also nice to have a physical store for questions/problems, and you can download a free book (one that’s not normally free) every Friday when you connect from inside the store

Kindle Fire has the benefits of the Amazon Cloud, renting/streaming video from Amazon On Demand (both readers can do Netflix I believe), and is 50 bucks cheaper

I hope they don’t try and go serious with it. The title and the fact they are bring back Ving even though he clearly died makes me think they won’t.

My favorite part was the Piranah getting to all the spring breakers and the movie just started killing teenagers by the 100s. Bold.

What if...

Bad Smith had been a junior when Chase Daniel was a freshman, and everyone around the program was aware that the offense was more potent with Daniel at the helm. So if Smith decided to go pro, does that make him a coward? I myself think it’s really inappropriate to call someone that you don’t know a coward based on one decision. I’d say the fact that this guy has put his body on the line at a high level of college football pretty much means he’s a grown-ass man.

According to WWL (so, usual caveats about in-game accuracy)

J. Smith has 5 tackles, none behind line of scrimmage, and 1 hit on Eli. Aldon is an o-fer so far.

Ray McDonald has 2.5 sacks today, after only 5.5 all season, and I have to think some of that is paying attention to the Smiths and less attention to the rest of the D-line. But maybe I’m wearing black and gold goggles.

I believe there was a stat line going around back in the day

So with the relative youth of the internet…I think the only person who did Mizzou recruiting back in the day was Brad Burgess (and family). I dont really recall if he had this stat or it was from somewhere else, but I recall hearing about Smith that in his senior season at JCHS he had 15 or so catches as a TE, but all were for TD’s…in that he was never tackled that season. I dont believe that turned out to be true in the end, but it was impressive when you heard it and then repeated it to someone else who had no idea that recruiting even existed at that point in time.

It's honestly way simpler than the official tries to explain

Both teams get the ball once unless the first team scores a TD. After the first change of possession the game becomes sudden death. All replays are booth replays, each team gets one timeout.

How OT should work:

After the receiving team gets a possession, the other team has the opportunity to tie or win the game. If the game is tied after the possession, then it is sudden death.

Unless there’s a score by the receiving team and a recovered on-side kick. Then the game is over.

I don't like the idea of sudden death.

I’d mix the college and pro rules. If at any time both teams have had the same number of possessions and one team has the lead … the game is over. Simple …

by MizzouRah04 on Jan 22, 2012 9:18 PM CST up reply actions  

That's essentially what I'm saying

the receiving team cannot win the game without the kicking team getting a possession.

Unless they recover an onside kick.

Way worse than that.

Baltimore’s kicker screwed up one play, granted a game winner.

Williams not only muffed that last punt. The game wouldn’t have gone into overtime in the first place if it wasn’t for his stupid ass earlier in the 4th. If I was the GM, he’d be cut before he even left the field. I’m a tad emotional though right now.

Well… hell no one can say the Niners didn’t play like they belonged or didn’t give their all. Now they just need some receivers….

Agreed...though I fear WR's may expose further inadequacies of their QB

credit to him for the season he had, but I am still not sold on his ability to consistently deliver the ball downfield if he had the weapons

I dunno

I thought Alex Smith had a pretty good game. The only throws he was consistently missing were sideline throws on the run. Throws that would have gone for minimal gain anyway.

I think it’s interesting to see the difference between Eli and Alex in that game. Eli is much more willing to throw into tight coverage. Alex errs on the side of not giving up a pick 95% of the time. He threw some beautiful deep balls last night but overthrew a few too. About the same as Eli.

To me, their games were similar but Eli’s receivers were able to get open more consistently over the middle.

SF will probably run one play to center the ball to whatever hash the kicker wants it, and that is probably it. They will need to block the kick or hope for a fumbled snap

Boy I dont know

San Fran really lacks downfield WR’s, and I think that helped the somewhat mediocre secondary of NY. NE does not have a tremendous amount of downfield threats either, so I think NY can keep the game in front of them. And at this point, they have enough offense that I think they can score on what is obviously not a great defense in NE. I guess I think NY will take it.

NE doesn't need downfield threats though, those TE's

are something else, I honestly don’t know if NY has the secondary/LB’s to cover them. And the regular death by a thousand cuts from BJGE Lawfirm, Woodhead, Branch and Welker keeps things balanced

I’ll say NE wins it. We beat them in Foxboro. I don’t see us beating them again in Indy. I just don’t.

But considering we were left for dead after losing to the Redskins late in the season…I’m just enjoying the ride.

Nope. I don't.

It’ll come down to pressuring Brady, and I just don’t know if we’ll be able to get to him before he gets the ball out to the slot receivers (including the TEs). I think that both of them are better than they were late in the season, and I don’t trust our back 4 at all in coverage.

I need to rewatch the earlier matchup to see more, but I just don’t have a good feeling.
