Mizzou Links, 9-18-12

I'm very proud of myself for cutting off a 10-tweet rant about a certain national columnist making an absolutely disgusting Aaron O'Neal reference to just a single tweet. There's nothing more I could say to make it look worse than it already looks. So instead ... FALCONS GIFS.

William Moore last night: 6.5 tackles, a sack, an interception, and a pass broken up. That's ... well that's ridiculously good. Oh yeah, and Sean Weatherspoon led the Falcons in tackles and broke up a pass. So these two just go door to door, recruiting for Mizzou in ATL after practice, right?

#Mizzou O-coordinator David Yost knew Franklin would decline injection. "It didn't bother me one bit." Fully supported decision

Pinkel:"Anybody that questions James Franklin's toughness, they have to have been in a coma the last couple years."

So ... Cortisone Gate is over now, right? ...right?

Also: WELCOME BACK, JACK MEINERS. SO, SO GLAD TO SEE YOU. And congrats to Kenronte Walker; when I first saw that he won the SEC's defensive player of the week award, I was a little confused that he got it over Sheldon Richardson. But then I realized that Walker not only made the game-clinching pick but also broke up the fourth-down pass on the drive before. Yeah, that'll do it.
