Missouri already tried a version of this plan, on a 12-play, 81-yard scoring drive against Texas last Saturday. It was the only scoring drive of the game. It featured six runs and six passes. It WORKED. Against a Texas team that no one else has been able to run on. So why not try it at Colorado, and make such a formation and philosphy the first option rather than throwing the football all over Folsom Field and leaving the largely immobile Gabbert back there by himself in an empty backfield? Because Gary Pinkel is a stubborn man. He believes in his way of doing things. And he likely views any suggestion that something else might work as unfair criticism.

Mike Dearmond, whom I usually enjoy, on the KC Star's Campus Corner blog. Really, Mike? 1) If they tried it and it worked, why exactly would Pinkel be too stubborn to try it again? He wasn't too stubborn to try it in the first place, was he? That's taking the insane "OMGPINKEL'STOOSTUBBORNHE'LLNEVERCHANGE!!!!1!!" meme in an even more insane direction. 2) How in the hell do you think you know what the game plan is for Colorado? Do they reveal a lot more in these conference calls than I thought? Maybe we should try to get in on them!
