Who did they beat?

WV I think :shrug:

WV was suffering jet lag or something

So, will he be pushing for any more home-and-homes with the Rockets in the near future?

“I don’t think that’d be a very good idea,” Pinkel said. “Toledo’s too good.”


:whackit:

They are better than Gay U

They were pretty good when he was there. The school and town seemed to still like him quite a bit.

Just seems weird that with Mizzou's horrendous non-con slate the next few years, he woudln't at least consider picking up a mid major with a pulse. I don't know how MU fans are going to swallow the ticket bill when it comes in the mail, looking at those garbage schedules.

At least they get to play the big boys. Tennessee, Vandy, Florida are just mega games LULZ

Horrendous compared to?

The schedule for each of the next two seasons has a grand total of 2 OOC games scheduled, combined.

One of those is a non-con game against Arkansas State, which is actually one of the better and more consistent non-BCS teams around over the past 3-4 years (including a couple of 10-win seasons). I think that qualifies as a mid-major with a pulse. That's actually a BETTER program, probably, than Toledo. Gee, you think MAYBE Pinkel was being kind to the school that gave him his first coaching gig when he said it was "too good."?

Pretty hard to call a slate "Horrendous" when only 25 percent of it is known. Unless you're exaggerating to make a point.

Don't forget about SEMO next year, which other Power 5 schools have struggled against. Maybe that was just one school.

And people wonder why that school isn't respected.

They think the world likes, and respects them outside one fan base. This is of course nonsense as the Big 12, Arky, Il all dislike them too and make fun of them.


Surely the KU guy who brought up their garbage schedule was part of the nefarious plots to disrupt Mizzou success (just look at all the NCAA employees over the years we have working as our double-agents). But actually the article was from a guy in SEC territory who probably doesn't even care much about Mizzou. Unless he's another lackey we put on the payroll.

I don't care what the world thinks of Mizzou. I kind of generally assume that fans of other teams look at Mizzou the same way I look at any program that I'm not a fan of (whether in the NFL, college or MLB or whatever): Hoping for them to fail. It's a screw everybody mindset...

You threw out a blanket statement that the schedule was going to be horrendous the next few years and asked why they wouldn't consider picking up a mid-major with a pulse... even though 3/4 of the schedule is unknown and the mid-major on the slate next year is a team that has won 28 games the past 3 years and played in its conference title game each year.

I don't expect big things from the 2015 schedule. I imagine it might look something like this year's (which is pretty respectable, really... I had no problem selling 4 non-premium seats this week for a grand total of $250 - $10 above face). If they can find a UCF like team, the OOC won't be horrendous.

And, ultimately, playing in the SEC, even with the unbalanced schedule, Missouri plays in a division with 3 teams that will be ranked preseason more often than not (Georgia, Florida, South Carolina). The league has a conference championship game. That schedule overall is very, very rarely going to be "horrendous."

Honestly, there's not much of a need to respond to such a ridiculous post. After Mizzou drilled Illinois year after year, the ones I know are happy they don't have that loss on their schedule. Arky is supposed to be our new rival, but we haven't played them yet. And nobody cares about the big 12.

The article posted is commenting on our OOC schedule, which is nowhere near complete. It reads like something PB would post.
