I thought the football season was over?

I love this new narrative that nobody cares about college football LMAO

So...I just called Petrino back to Louisville correctly. For my next prediction...Mack Brown to Vanderbilt.

Mack Brown at a school that actually has academic standards?

He's not going to know what to do with kids that can read and write.

I think he'd love it. No pressure...he even played there for a few years. Perfect fit for the guy to bridge the gap to retirement.

And Texas is a really good school, btw...same with North Carolina.

Mack grew up in Cookeville, TN, which is a little more than an hour away from Nashville, and played for Vanderbilt for a couple of years. I don't think it will happen, but I wouldn't be surprised if it did.

I was living in Austin when the Big 12 merger was being discussed. One of the big talking points was about whether or not Texas should be willing to get in bed with a bunch of schools that didn't have the same educational standards. They may not be Vanderbilt, but they're no academic slouch.

It is. Mizzou lost at home to the #270 team in the country. Who was previously 0-6 in road games.

For regular students? Sure.

58% graduation rate for football players. No telling how many are doing it legitimately.

Only 3 schools in the PAC10 are worse, only two schools are worse in the SEC, only two in the ACC, only 1 in the BigEast and only 1 worse in the Big12.

At the time, it was for admission standards for student athletes. I don't know if their standards changed after joining the Big 12 or what their graduation rates were at the time.

Shit happens, whether on the road or at home.
Does your one-track-pea size-brain remember last year? TCU..TCU..TCU

DaKC, have you watched this kid play? He is a freakin stud, he is as good IMO as Hargreaves. You guys are going to be balling in the secondary, there have been rumors of Durkin leaving, I wonder if that is true.

Just read an interesting stat.

Since 2006, 9 SEC teams have finished the season ranked in the top 5. 6 of them have done it multiple times.

Kind of puts to lie the whole "bottom dwellers" meme.

I haven't seen him, no, but I've heard he's outstanding. We're losing Purifoy, Roberson, and Watkins to the NFL so this helps. Muschamp seems to always load up on top flight DBs.

Haven't heard anything about Durkin.

Lol! Love the qualifier "whether" home or road. Thanks for the belly laugh, and no: it does make all the difference.


I did search your name for comments about TCU last year though. You had quite a bit to say on the board about it. Why didn't you just blow it off as an aberration like you're doing today?

The longest home court winning streak in the country finally ended, and we're back to zero...with Kansas to keep us company.

why would you/anyone search for something like that?

He has a miserable life. Let him have this.

Well, he's also the only Beaker you can find on CP quoting stuff he read on Tigerboard if that tells you anything

He seems to annoy Tiger fans, but the Kansas fans truly despise him. In that respect, it's hard to blame him for hanging out with people who lock him in lockers rather than dunk his head in the toilet. Maybe someday he will look in the mirror and say, "maybe it's me"...but I won't hold my breath.

There's a lot of whistling past the graveyard in this thread.
This is not a good basketball team. The front court is just a disaster & there are too many "me" guys and not enough team guys.

Can't think of a better way to put it.

Because it was funny/nice to see a team like KU and fans like you, who always go bragging...look at all of our banners, look at all our championships, look at all our final fours...blah, blah.
Lose that way against a team like TCU.....YOU GAVE THEM THEIR ONLY CONFERENCE WIN!!!ROFL

Iowa State should have it, but the refs screwed us against Kansas last year.

It wasn't TCU's only conference win. But I'll ask again: why was TCU so hilarious to you last year, but Georgia isn't? Amazing how quickly you changed your mind on the topic. I can't quite put my finger on what made you think differently.

Well, as would put it. KU is suppose to be one of the Elite teams in Basketball, you have all these Conference Championships, you have all these final 4 appearences....blah, blah, blah.
And as you put it, MIZZOU is supposed to be a average to below average team, who never gets anywhere.
You ask anyone, which loss was worse/funnier, and they would tell you it was the KU loss.

I ask you, why do YOU care so much about a average to below average team losing to another below average team?????

Losing to Georgia in basketball is less embarrassing, sure. Missouri is an average basketball program and they lost to a bad team. Kansas is a good basketball program and they lost to a bad team. Which one should not be happening?

Neither one is all that shocking, though. Upsets happen in basketball. It's a flukey game.

SEC basketball is a mess overall outside of Florida and Kentucky. I'm not sure Mizzou even had the worst conference loss that night. I thought Arkansas was thoroughly embarrassed by Texas A&M, a very bad team in their own right (lost in Corpus Christi to a Missouri State squad missing their two best players, and lost at home by 20 to North Texas).

Mizzou basketball isn't a mess.

Well, I don't know how you would describe their performance on Wednesday, but it didn't look good to me. I admit it may be a one-game thing, as that happens, but UGA is a terrible team to have that kind of game against.

So they had a bad loss. There are 18 conference games to be played, then a potential for 3 or 4 more in the conference tournament. And even if you lollygag around all season and only place 4th or 5th in a major conference you're still going to get in the postseason anyway, because it's basketball and they let half the country into the postseason. In basketball a loss doesn't really mean anything until March.

The problem the SEC keeps running into is that several of their teams get to 9 or 10 wins in OOC and then fall on their face in conference play. I don't think that will be an issue for Mizzou going forward because they have quality non-con wins. Arkansas, Texas A&M, and Ole Miss all have 10 or more wins already, but I don't think any of them make the NCAA tournament because they all have deep flaws, and the only quality win out of those three thus far is Minnesota.

The win in CoMo might just be Georgia's best road win this year.

SEC basketball sucks this year. There's no denying that.

I don't follow basketball closely, but I don't think I heard anyone say they were expecting Missouri to be great this season. They don't have the horses for a tournament run at the moment.

I actually think Mizzou is better than they were last year. UCLA and NC State were good wins, the kind of wins the SEC needs to improve its overall image. If Mizzou can keep themselves steady through tournament time and Arkansas can find a way to win some road games, that will really help. Four good teams are much better than two.

Saul was. Bragging about being ranked closely to Kansas. Yes you may not have thought they were legit (nor did I looking at SoS data) but Saul was fooled.

Enjoying some schadenfreude about the team of destiny nearly falling out of the top 25 is something that I won't fault him for.

Remind me again which post I made talking about how good the Mizzou basketball squad was.

Now, Now.....you know that links, evidence, and facts are not things that Prison Bitch is comfortable with...you might be asking a bit much out of him.

I stand and applaud your keen observation.

Rooting against KU basketball has to be one of life's most frustrating pursuits.

Can't be any more frustrating than rooting for KU football.

Why? KU had had several flashes of good play and decent teams. Basketball never has any down years.

Flaming out in the tournament to UNI or whoever isn't considered a down year by KU fans?

I don't know about that. It wouldn't be if you're doing it in March when most of the country starts noticing college basketball. Except for twice in any of our lifetimes, their season has ended with a loss like most other teams' did.

I'm talking about a "down year", not the year they won the league, the league tourney, got the top overall seed and finished 33-3.

Better not lose to little brother at home tomorrow LMAO

Interesting choice by Alabama.

So Green-Beckam was nailed for drugs again. Man, I swear: that guy gets caught up in the unluckiest of situations. I guarantee it's another false alarm. There's simply no other explanation.

How 'bout them Billikens?

Again? Wow. Tough to keep him on the team at this point. Says a lot about the program if he's back next year.

What is the charge against him?

It sounds like he was in a car where someone else had weed.

Aww, come on. And bambi had gotten his vagina all moist about it.

I'm sure it was probably the same thing as last time, he was in a car with some other guys and they were smoking. Stupid of him given all he has to lose, but :shrug:

That poor guy has the worst luck. People need to stop setting him up like this.

The same thing happened last time. He was in a car with some guys who were smoking, and the cops showed up. Someone else got possession and he got trespassing. In this case he probably won't get anything.

I wonder if he pulled the bill Laurie "do you know who I am??" line. To which the cop said "no" and cuffed him for DUI

Exactly! Hope he is there when the Chiefs draft next year.

:eek:

It would be so much better if he would just break into someone's house with guns.

I hope we don't draft that high.

Or smack some chick with his jimmy in an elevator. Or hold up a Taco Bell. Or stab a guy in the leg.

Somehow someway, you just know Lew Perkins was involved in the setup

That's why I said I hope he is there...I assume we will be drafting 32nd. :D

I think you get a bonus for those things in Larryville.

Here's the official statement from the Springfield Police Department, in its entirety.

Perhaps this will end some of the speculation of what was or wasn't found, who was or wasn't released.


Arrest of Dorial Green-Beckham

Springfield Police confirm the arrest of Dorial Green-Beckham (M/B, 4/12/93) and two other Springfield men, John W. McDaniel (M/B, 1/27/91) and Patrick W. Prouty (M/W, 3/1/93), in conjunction with a traffic stop that occurred last night. The stop was made after the arresting officer noticed the license plate tab on a 1999 Jeep Cherokee, driven by McDaniel, had expired in October of 2013. When the officer made contact with McDaniel regarding the license plate violation, he could smell an odor of marijuana inside the vehicle. The traffic stop occurred near Sunshine and Jefferson in Springfield.

During the search of the Jeep, officers found approximately a pound of marijuana and assorted drug paraphernalia. All three occupants were arrested and booked into the Greene County Jail for Distribution of a Controlled Substance.

All three suspects were released pending further investigation and the laboratory testing of physical evidence. The release of suspects pending the filing of formal charges, and without bond, based on the outcome of a completed investigation and lab results, is normal procedure in Greene County for non-violent felonies and most drug cases.

The arrest of a person is merely an allegation and should not be presumed as conclusion of guilt. All parties are assumed innocent until a finding of guilt in a court of law. The case continues to be under investigation and no further details will be released at this time.

Yeah, I'd say that anybody rolling around with a pound of weed in their car which has expired tags counts as the "wrong crowd" to be around DGB

ouch

Only a pound?

That's not too bad.

LMAO

Hooptie with old tags and a pound of bunk

3rd rounder yet?

Seriously, a pound?

That can't be right.

Gets dicey. A pound is roughly .45kg. Anything above .5 kg and you're looking at felony sale. 20 years and a fine of $1,000,000

If this happened within 1,000 feet of a school the penalty doubles.

A pound you're not smoking, you're selling.

That's why they're under the "distribution" parameters as of now.

Per PowerMizzou:

Well, he'll be in the NFL with a ton of money in a year or so; so he'll definitely be able to continue to make awful decisions.
