A long time from now, when Gary Pinkel is no longer Mizzou's head coach and I'm reflecting on the Pinkel era, I'm just going to close my eyes and picture him delivering the brusk quote below, and it's going to make me smile: "WINNING ISN'T MAGIC, OK? THERE'S THINGS YOU'VE GOT TO DO." That is possibly the most Pinkel-esque quote you could ever hope for.

Post-Dispatch: MU's toughest foe? It's MU
A year ago this week Mizzou's sixth game of the season, at Texas A&M, was MU's first trip outside the state. And the Tigers didn't play a ranked team until a week later, when they took down BCS No. 1 Oklahoma, one of just two games they had against ranked foes.
This season, Mizzou already has met and lost to three ranked teams on the road.
And after the Tigers' tussle with Iowa State at homecoming on Saturday at Faurot Field, with each team seeking its first conference win against two losses, MU's next four games are against No. 6 Oklahoma State, at No. 23 Texas A&M, at No. 21 Baylor and home against No. 20 Texas.
"We're going to have to get better," said defensive line coach Craig Kuligowski, who was speaking specifically of his own unit but aptly for all: "We don't have any choice."
Said MU coach Gary Pinkel: "There are reasons why you win and reasons why you lose ... Winning isn't magic, OK? There's things you've got to do."

I have to think one can come to enjoy the Occupy Herbstreit protest pics no matter the political leanings. This was good stuff.

@Dave_Matter
Dave Matter Was told MU officials may not know more on Big 12/SEC until "late next week." Curators have regularly scheduled mtng next Thurs-Fri @ UMKC

I try to go out of my way not to over-analyze potential developments like the one from Dave Matter's tweet here, but if nothing can be done until the Curators meet again, I think that is very, very good for the pro-SEC faction of the Mizzou fanbase. If the decision were to stay in the Big 12, Brady Deaton would need nothing else from the Curators -- he's already gotten permission to make that choice. But the Curators will have to sign off on any sort of leaving-the-conference action, so...

I remember going on a bus trip to the women's Sweet Sixteen game in 2001; Nellie Dodd was there, and she looked both sick and 75 years old. Ten years later, she looks about 30 years younger. So good to see her doing so well.
