(Oh, yeah, and ... Dear KC Star, thank you for figuring out ways to make your website as user-unfriendly as possible. The whole "you're not allowed to copy-paste any part of our articles without going through three extra steps, because god-forbid someone tries to blurb an article so that, you know, people would want to read the whole thing" approach is silly and overly paranoid, but the "we're going to slip a pop-up ad behind your browser every time you open up one or our articles" thing is enough to make me stop reading, or linking to, your site altogether.

This latest development -- Bobby Petrino forgoing an in-home visit with DGB to avoid any potential talk of a recruiting violation -- might not end up being a good thing for Mizzou, but it sure as hell isn't a bad thing...

CBS Sports: Petrino not seeing No. 1 recruit Thursday
The Missourian: Top high school recruit Dorial Green-Beckham considers Missouri footballBeckham said that Petrino and Hillcrest receiver Dorial Green-Beckham "bumped into each other" earlier this month in San Antonio, Texas possibly creating an NCAA recruiting issue. Petrino was in town for the American Football Coaches Association convention. Green-Beckham was there for the U.S. Army All-Star Game.
Arkansas issued a statement Wednesday saying no NCAA violation occured."When he was at the coaching convention in San Antonio, they bumped into each other," said Beckham who also is Green-Beckham’s foster father. "It just so happened that another school that was recruiting Dorial happened to be there that day." [...]
Arkansas' statement: "No violation has occured and we are taking proactive steps we feel necessary to avoid any risk of one." [...]
Recruiting analysts are hanging on every nugget of information regarding the national single-season leader in receiving yards. Rivals.com predicted Monday that the receiver would be heading to Arkansas. Maxpreps.com analyst Steve Spiewak says he can’t understand the perception that Arkansas is in the lead. Green-Beckham says he is undecided and will make his decision known next Wednesday morning at the school.
"People really read in too much to what he says," Beckham said. "They interviewed [Dorial] last week before a basketball tournament in St. Louis. And he said … ‘I have to go to Missouri next week.’ They all got hung up on, ‘I have to,’ instead of ‘wanting to go.’ That’s just a little example."

I really like the thing Bill retweeted out after the game:
Dear #Mizzoufans – last year’s 4 Final Four teams were a combined 23-24 in true road games. Point is, these things happen. Go Tigers!
I’m done with the notion of Mizzou sports being mediocre. The idea that we can’t win consistently hinges on a bias toward recency that ignores a decade of success for this program.
This loss does not define the season. I’m done with people saying things to this effect. The only loss that defines a season is the one that ends a season.

the last game i actually watched on tv was @kstate. been following on my phone since then.
last night i turned the game on with about 6-7 minutes left when we were up. and then i didn’t turn it off when things were going downhill fast…
i sincerely apologize for my poor judgment
m-i-z... z-o-u!
Shoulder shrug loss
I’d like to get worked up about it, but can’t. It wasn’t a poor effort, just not the best. It happens. Tip your cap. They hung in, hung in, were in it the last 4 minutes, and their best player took over the game.
If there is a long-term takeaway—and there may not be—it’s about matchups that potentially bother Mizzou. I’ll withhold judgment until we see the Cats and Pokes in Columbia. These aren’t fatal flaws, just problem areas.
1. Perimeter length is a bigger problem for our offense more than post size
Mizzou’s offense is so blasted efficient because it can break you down off the bounce AND through ball movement. (It’s SO rare that teams can do both. It’s beautiful to watch.) But teams like OSU and KSU that have some perimeter length (obviously not Page) can negate some of that beautiful movement because at the end of it they still bother the release. So you don’t get WIDE OPEN shots. You only get kinda open shots.
What I love about this team is that it has an answer to every problem. It gets to the FT line, which is what you have to do. It’s just that getting to the FT line is more of a secondary than primary strength. Last night, Mizzou was decent for a road game. Down the stretch they clearly looked to pound it into Ratliffe for just that purpose. But, give credit to OSU. They bothered a number of post entries with their length.
2. Defensively, Mizzou does a good job choking off ball movement but we’re not great one-on-one defenders.
Think Illinois, ODU, K-State, and last night. Mizzou will give up points to a guy who can get his own shot. When OSU tried to run “stuff” they were as likely to turn it over as get a shot. Ironically, we pushed their offense so far out on the floor it scrambled things up—and that helped them. They got the ball to their best player who just rose up, kicked, and fired.
Again, no fatal flaw here — we just don’t have a Reggie Geary type stopper. (Those of you old enough to remember the Tiger team that got walloped by Arizona will recall that Geary just chewed up our beloved Melvin Booker and spit him out.) There’s not much you can do against a good one-on-one player who gets hot except keep him taking jumpers. That happened last night. We still lost. It happens.

That Melvin Booker team suprised a lot of people to.
I remember watching that game and sadly before the game I never felt we would win it.
That's right Ice Man. I am dangerous
Pie Forever!
I just KNEW we would win, and that it was a team of destiny
I was living in Wisconsin at the time, and was telling people that Mizzou would shut down the Badgers.
Then, I really thought we’d beat Arizona. But mostly because I hadn’t seen them play. We were just a poor man’s version of that team. When Stoudemire hit that long three at the halftime buzzer, sadly, I knew it was done.
"Those who fear disorder more than injustice inevitably produce more of both." -- Rev. William Coffin
I couldn't have said it better.
Arizona was better at our game than we were. Stoudemire was good very good. It would have made me feel better if Arizona had at least made it to the final.

Or a JT Tiller / Zaire Taylor type stopper
that analogy hurts me much less than a 1994 Elite 8 game analogy
I thought the quickness of OSU's non-Jurick bigs was a huge factor
How many turnovers did we have on post feeds last night? 5? English had 8 points, 1 assist, didn’t make a 3 and didn’t shoot a free throw. The big advantage we have because of the lack of size was neutralized. The frustrating thing was that they didn’t really take advantage at the other end, they chucked a bunch of jumpers and got hot like that group you play at the rec that has no business winning 3 games in a row.

There were SOOOOO many lazy entry passes into the post
I’m pretty sure Monte Hardge could have found a way to move his Barge and steal most of those.
Lack of focus by our guys last night, and a bit of bad luck. The one thing about Haith that we can definitively say is that he will harp on that before Saturday’s game and do his darnedest to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
Tough loss, but I'm not concerned
Mizzou is getting everyone’s best effort this year, and it comes with the ranking. If this team wants the ranking, they’ll weather those storms. I’m not overly concerned with last night. The loss to K-State worried me more than this one. OSU shot their brains out and we didn’t move the ball as well as we should have offensively. This team CAN play well on the road, just have to be consistent. On to the next one.
That being said, congrats to Graham Zusi! He had a breakout year for Sporting KC this past season and will be a huge part of the attacking mid this year. SKC was incredibly exciting to watch last year and I look forward to more of the same this year. I am personally of the opinion that Bunbury is getting USMNT minutes now so they can put the idea to bed when the bigger games come up. He is hit and miss in MLS competition, I’m not sure what it is about him that gets him so much playing time for the Yanks. That being said, I’m still rooting for the guy. Keep an eye on CJ Sapong. The guy is a stud. He is an absolute nightmare for defenders in the MLS (and only a year into his pro career), I look for more of the same in coming years.
@armyofmike
I was able to watch the last 25 minutes of the match last night.

Yeah, I was psyched to see Zusi score
He’s probably not going to make the A-team or anything, but an international goal is an international goal. And he’s such a huge part of why SKC is fun to watch.
re: Bunbury. I assume that the excitement stems from the fact that he’s 1 1/2 years younger than Sapong.
