Post-Dispatch (Bryan Burwell): Pinkel looks forward to next big step in SECBut here he was doing just that and he couldn't help himself. A room full of giddy boosters were upstairs at a private dinner inside the Edward Jones building in Des Peres, and they couldn't wait to hear Pinkel reflect on one of the seminal moments in Mizzou football history. What does it all mean when MU football is good enough to go big-game hunting on the high school recruiting trail and come away with the biggest prize of them all? What does it mean when his primary professional life's mission — making Missouri football stand for something special — is so close he can almost taste it?
What does it mean when Pinkel knows that over the past few weeks, a series of fortunate events keep happening to MU athletics, giving the football and basketball programs maximum brand-name exposure?
"It's been a pretty good few weeks for us, hasn't it?" Pinkel said Tuesday evening just before the annual Football Recruiting Night dinner with the St. Louis Tiger Club. "After (the nation's top football recruit Dorial Green-Beckham) made that announcement that he was signing with us on national TV, (director of athletics) Mike Alden came over to me and sat down. His eyes were watering a little bit and said to me 'Remember the Michigan State game?'"

On the topic of Gary Pinkel being the coach Mizzou needed:
I really liked that article, but this quote stood out for me:
A decade ago, he was fighting a sad losing culture among the fan base, frustrated when they gave him “atta boys” every time Mizzou came close to beating a Nebraska or Oklahoma or Texas, as if coming close was an accomplishment.

What will DGB’s rating in NCAA 13 be???
Proud Meth Aggie since 2011.

but does anyone know why they don’t show the actual players names in NCAA football?

Per NCAA rules, EA Sports can not sell the likeness of amateur athletes.
Any notion that the height, weight, ratings, home state, position, jersey number and skin color are meant to reflect any real life counterparts is a complete coincidence and is intended to be treated as such.

Anybody else notice this gem in the TJ Moe interview?
TJM: I think it’s going to be a rigorous transition because of the bottom teams in the SEC. They’re basically what the mid-tier teams were in the Big 12. The top teams in the Big 12 are every bit as good as the top teams in the SEC. But we get to play Kansas every year in the Big 12, and there’s no Kansas in the SEC. It’s almost like you have off weeks in the Big 12. You can’t say that about the SEC. You have to bring your "A" game every week.
I agree, TJ. It’s terribly, terribly sad that we won’t get easy wins by beating up on Kansas anymore.

any thoughts on the O-line next year?
I don’t recall which knee Elvis hurt (want to say left), but because of that, with the job that Britt did last year, do you slide him to right tackle? Also, is Boehm going to get a serious look at guard?

However the O-line shakes out
And I’m assuming Ruth will still be at C, but who knows, they need a center that can consistently put snaps into Franklin’s midsection. The way our offense sets up (QB almost always in the shotgun, with the RB either lined up wide behind the tackle or coming in motion), if Franklin has to duck or step sideways to field the snap, it complete throws off the timing of Franklin’s reads, hand-offs and the step-and-throw motion of the bubble screen, and I noticed that happening entirely too much last year.
by Damnatio Memoriae on Feb 8, 2012 8:38 AM CST up reply actions
Ruth was injured a lot last year
I know he missed the Texas, Baylor, Miami and ASU games. And I don’t think he was able to start the game against Western Illinois.
Busting Bill C since September 19, 2011 10:19 CST, 8:19 PDT.
Without going back and rewatching games
Which I’ll probably do during the long summer football drought, I couldn’t really say when I noticed it more than other times, but that just strikes me as a practice time thing. I realize there’s a lot to practice for in a given week, but that should be something the center can get right on every play, especially in our offense.
by Damnatio Memoriae on Feb 8, 2012 8:54 AM CST up reply actions
I just think a 1st year starter who misses 4 games
and was probably never at 100% should probably be expected to have some snaps that aren’t perfect. I don’t remember anytime that we had a snap that wasn’t fielded.
Busting Bill C since September 19, 2011 10:19 CST, 8:19 PDT.
Oh definitely
Last year was rough for the OL, which is why next year I hope that with a lot of returning talent and (hopefully) everyone healthy, they can build some consistency and improve on the C/QB exchange. I don’t remember any snaps that weren’t fielded either, but if Franklin has to duck to catch the snap, and the read and handoff are both a half second late then the RB gets swarmed in the backfield, the result is pretty much the same.
by Damnatio Memoriae on Feb 8, 2012 11:16 AM CST up reply actions
Should be Britt
He won the center spot last year, but then Fisher got hurt, so they had to move him to LT.

I think they moved us now so that the SEC bloggers can cover spring ball.
They don’t have CBB divided up by conference with its own dedicated blogger(s) like their CFB coverage.
Also CBaseB is not covered as heavily.

He said that he was in there buying a vehicle and as they were negotiating he got a phone call and stepped out in the hall. When he came back in, he had a huge smile on his face andhe toldhis wife “We just got the keys to the Cadillac.” That phone call was from Chase Daniel. He told him that he was sticking with Mizzou.

"You have to remember, basketball to the University of Miami is like football to the University of Kansas." - Kim English
I just have to say it
Jason King is such a blatant KU homer hack. King’s Court is a terrible Forde Yard Dash ripoff. Cannot stand that guy.
And while I’m at it, the beaker that writes the Big 12 conference check-ins for Rush The Court is just as bad. So whiny after the Mizzou win, particularly about the fouls. News flash: we don’t foul, and we get tons. All. Year. And we’re at home. 20-10 is just about right, d-bag.
Exeunt.

I saw that video as well.
And the whining from ku fans over it is HILARIOUS. How unprofessional for and AD to be in the tunnel after a b-ball game, and how unprofessional of him to shake their hands!! How dare he?!?! He should be fired and sent to Siberia!!!!
And this is the epitome of the pot calling the kettle black. How quickly the chickenhawks forget about Sleazy Lew and his litany of “unprofessional,” to put it lightly, business practices.
What the hell?
I’ll just leave you with a few stats…
Last year, Missouri was called for an average of 20.5 fouls per game. In the last four years, Missouri has averaged more than 20 fouls per game. This year? Missouri has averaged 14 fouls per game, the fourth-fewest in college basketball.
Huh? What does that prove? That there is some nation-wide pro-Mizzou conspiracy among all refs who have called Mizzou games? What about the three teams who average less? Are they just paying the refs more?
This is the stupidest stat that does not prove the intended point I have ever seen.
well, it does show the more disciplined style of Coach Haith
vs. xCMA…

But 2396 – I got a whole pig from a butcher in Wyandotte KS about thirteen years ago. They roasted it for me for my law school graduation party. It was as they say “off the chain.” But they did sell them raw.
And why don’t you do this for a RMN tailgate? I think we should do a big whoo-haw next season (non-con game so everyone can get tickets) and you could bring the pig.
Cheers!

T&C
that’s not a bad idea, but I think it would be a difficult thing to transport from KC. We would need to work with someone in columbia to get the cinder blocks and probably the pig. If we played at Arrowhead this year, I would happily do it there.

Ive seen this idea also, it might be worth it just to go get a fully roasted pig and just keep it warm.

That would be awesome
But if we wanted to get a parking pass somewhere close to the stadium, we would need someone with a decent sized truck in order to bring everything in, otherwise we’d have people carrying the rest of the food/drinks from all over creation.

Okay, so if we want to do some sort of RMN tailgate...
I think the questions we would need to answer are:
How many people are interested? There’s really no point in doing a whole hog if it’s going to be 5 people sitting around getting belligerently drunk and talking to the roasted pig head
How often would we want to do it? We would probably want to make the whole hog a once a season event, but I have season tickets so I’d be down to tailgate for every game.
Where would we want to do it? I’m not even sure I want to know how much parking passes are, or if you can just get them for one game.
How do we get everything to the lot? We’d have to pack as much of the equipment/supplies as possible in whichever vehicle was going to park in the lot, so at least a few people would have to meet up before the game to load the truck.
How would we cover costs? I’d hate for one person to have to spring for a parking pass and eat the cost, so we’d need to figure out how to split up that cost and the cost of the food/drinks.
(Sorry that got out of control, my inner project manager got the best of me.)
by Damnatio Memoriae on Feb 8, 2012 12:49 PM CST up reply actions
Also
I would be without a doubt in for this. Whatever game is fine with me, I can go ahead and also volunteer a truck and see about getting a parking pass. I have some hook-ups with Machens and now the MU hospital and Cerner, they owe me!

Answering my own question
These lots are reserved exclusively for active members of the Tiger Scholarship Fund who have purchased season tickets, and are sold on a season basis.
From here: http://www.mutigers.com/gameday/getting-here-permit-parking.html
I meet the qualifications, so I could do this, but we would have to get the pass for the whole season. So unless we want to tailgate for every game, it would be hard to justify the cost.

Again - I can't reply so apologies in advance
I drove a pick-up truck at the time & was able to put the whole roasted pig in it. It was in a big box. OMG – that was so much fun. I was big on the “wow” factor at my parties & it didn’t get much more “wow” than a whole roasted pig.

We generally ride up in my friends forerunner.
with the tent, tables, grills and coolers, we are pretty full. Of course, if we were going to a spot that had tent, tables that would help. We could probably forego the grill and have someone else bring that (so we can grill some stuff for sides and maybe do some sort of breaksfast or lunch). Then we would just need the cinder blocks, pig, metal grate, etc.
It would have to be a night game. I’m not sure how long it will take to roast the pig, but I imagine it would be pretty much an all day thing.
Busting Bill C since September 19, 2011 10:19 CST, 8:19 PDT.
there are a couple of BBQ teams in the area of Columbia
or Hoss’s market. They may be able to roast a pig for you as a “catered” event, of sorts.
