If this team had any Pinkel QB other than Mauk under center, they'd have a chance. I've never seen any Missouri team so hamstrung by their QB.

He can't process plays, he's inaccurate, and now he's unwilling to run.

Unfortunately, when your head coach talks shit, teams are going to revel in beating your ass. Drinkwitz was fitted for a clown suit today, and his batting average on DCs looks to be getting worse.

I haven't seen such a gutless, uninspired gameplan on D since Herm was tying a Tampa 2 anchor to the Chiefs. How could you be so woefully unprepared and timid?

A good HC would’ve seen that you have a lot of the pieces to be special and a QB that if EVERYTHING goes perfect 100% of the time could take you somewhere…..why not move heaven and earth to get a force multiplier in at the position and see what happens? Now you may not get that guy but by not even trying you’re saying Cook is that guy and it’s clear he’s not…

All falls on Drinkwitz. He has this weird obsession with Cook so it was never in consideration. Drew Pyne? LOL ok….

Insanity…but it’s ok because Drink wants Cook to marry his daughters or what ever.

Mizzou's schedule is pretty soft 10-2 still a possibility that should get you in the playoffs

This team isn’t making the playoffs at 10-2 and after today, I don’t know how anyone could be talking about 10 wins.

Look at your schedule

Did you see today? The Vandy game? The BC game?

Have you even bothered watching any of those other teams on your schedule play doomer?

An ass whooping is what Mizzou needed. Should regain some focus now.

Vandy just beat Alabama.

Yeah I have….I’ve also seen this Mizzou team play lol.

Call me a doomer….*shrug*….just think I’m being realistic.

Ok and…?

My point stands as everyone thought that was an atrocious performance when it happened.

If you want to retroactively act like it was a big win now because they beat an Alabama team that played like a D+ game go ahead…

What a great day…

:ZZZ:

SEC is going to be crazy this season.

Brady Cook having a good 5 game stretch last season was the worst thing to happen to the team. I wish he would have just sucked complete ass and forced Eli's hand.

lol You aren't forcing that arrogant SOB's hand. He has made it personal with Cook, he is sticking with him no matter what, he's a fan hating POS.

Missouri’s offensive line was a significant problem in this game, but the quarterback doesn’t get a free pass. Brady Cook missed on two connectable deep balls early. He was too shaky, too often. He held onto the ball, resulting in sacks. He threw an interception that was dropped by MTSU. He didn’t have the usual verve or confidence as a runner. Late in the game he was tackled for a sack and fumbled the ball out of the end zone for a safety.

If Sam Horn did these things, Drinkwitz would be apoplectic, pointing fingers through the media, making snotty remarks to the media, and using Horn’s shakiness to justify Cook’s status as a starter. But if the more experienced Cook does it? Hey, nothing to see here, folks. That’s Eli’s guy. I don’t know if Cook can count on protection from his offensive line, but he’ll certainly be protected by the coach.


That was Bernie after MTSU last year. Same as it ever was.

Interesting.....Mizzou lost to a ranked team and moved down 13 spots....

Alabama and Tennessee both lose to unranked teams and stayed in the Top 10?

Not that I am trying to give Mizzou any support considering how pathetic they played ...but the fact that Alabama and Tennessee lost to unranked teams should have cost them more.

True. Not to mention that they did beat Vanderbilt. They dropped out of the top ten for it being a close game. Yet Alabama actually loses to them and stays in the top ten. Crazy

I mean, if we're honest with ourselves, there is no more corrupt sport than college football. Preseason feelings have influenced countless national titles, and the officiating thumb on the scale is so prevalent it's just accepted as the cost of doing business.

Teams are given license to cheat and others are hit with the hammer of God for the mistakes of unaffiliated rogue actors.

Mizzou doesn't deserve to be ranked based on their play, but there is no internal logic from the voters other than favortism.

Missouri beat Vandy and dropped 4 spots in the AP poll. Bama lost to Vandy and dropped 6 spots.

Missouri just isn't in the club.

You think that might have something to do with Bama beating Georgia? You all are insufferable

They also let Georgia back into a game that they had firmly in their grasp.

No one is saying Mizzou doesn't deserve to be where they are based on their play. But they lost to a ranked team....both Bama and The Vols lost to unranked teams.

And let's not kid anyone....Georgia almost lost to Kentucky.

Then get the **** out of our thread and post in the Cornhusker thread.

I'll post wherever and whenever I want you crybaby bundle of sticks

Your "point' doesn't stand at all; Vandy, with that QB, is a good team. Mizzou beat that good team. Pretending like they aren't very good simply because you're too lazy to watch them play is a very CP thing to do, but it certainly doesn't help your "point" at all.

Nobody wanted to hear Vandy was actually pretty underrated.

But alas. We're ****ing ass. Glad I didn't watch a second of that piece of shit game.

So...is Nate Noel in the doghouse? Seems like Carroll or other backs are getting all the carries.

Yeah I haven’t heard anything on Noel it’s so strange. Even tiger board doesn’t have answers for it.

Nice to see Mizzou dominatingban inferior opponent today. Of course they can win by 59 and still not move up more than a spot or 2 in the rankings. Still pissed that they dropped so far last week.

Seriously Drink? You couldn't see that fake coming?

Wow...getting outclassed by a lesser coach?

Uninspired football.

It's 24 to 3 ROFL

In reality Mizzou should be up more than that....UMass is not that good.

At times MU has looked average...and still no news on why Nate Noel hasn't seen the field.

Just saw on Twitter Noel is ruled out for the game. Says he warmed up, but they don't know why he's out.

How much should they be up by?

To me MU should have scored at least 35 on them by the end of the first half....their drives have prodded along.

So who is our QB for next year? If he’s on the roster it’d be nice to get him reps

Burden hurt. Holding his collarbone area

They said after half time, sore ribs.

See how easily MU has scored this half? It should have been that way in the first half.

Good win today. Even if it wasn't by a big enough of a margin to satisfy some people. 45-3 seems like a blowout to me. Burden is okay according to Drink.Looking forward to beating Auburn next week.

Assuming that your remark is about my comments...

I am not frustrated about the final score....more about the less than inspired first half.

No well-coached team gets depantsed by a fake punt in that situation. Those are the mental lapses that should not happen.

Solid win over a powerhouse opponent.

This is the kind of game that I wanna see Brady Cook just light up the scoreboard, but he very rarely does that. Sure it was a good game, but he never has that 350+ yd, 3+ td game.

So, to recap, Cook looked better but threw a hospital ball to our best offensive weapon that got his ass knocked out for the remainder of the game. But he’s supposedly fine, per Drink.

Defense did what you would expect them to do against an opponent like UMass.

So basically we going into the Auburn game same as we were going into the A&M game and now we *may* have a less than healthy LB3.

Did I miss anything important?

Yes. The Tigers dominated a lesser opponent like they should. Everyone complained that they weren't doing that in the first 4 games. They got embarrassed last week and this week was a get right week that they needed sorely. They will defeat Auburn handily next week, then roll the Tide the following week. This team is finishing no worse than 10-2.

I could easily see them losing to Alabama and Oklahoma. It all depends on if Brady Cook can he a mid tier QB against them.

While we should beat Auburn next week...if we don't have Burden the next guy needs to step up.

My concern is that after them we will run into a pissed off Alabama at Tuscaloosa and a determined Jalen Milrose who is just a good enough mobile QB to kill us.

We aren't rolling Bama....but we might have a shot at taking down Oklahoma st home.

But having watched South Carolina and Arkansas...they aren't going to be as easy as win as first thought

Honestly I am not as confident with this team based on their play....I don't see them finishing 10-2 without the offense solidifying itself. And if Nate Noel is hurt too...that would definitely hurt.

That’s a . . . . . . . . very optimistic post.

Agree with most of this. Much more realistic outcome.

However, with regard to Oklahoma. We will roll them. They’re not very good this year and Mizzou will be extra fired up for this one. Regardless of how the rest of the season goes, I’m confident we get a W in that one.

I hadn’t heard about Noel. That sucks. Hopefully he is okay.

From the way they talked, Noel was available if needed, but we never needed him today, so they allowed him to rest his sore ribs. He should be good to go next week.

What makes you think we will roll Oklahoma lol?

Missouri up 2 spots in the AP Poll to #19. Behind Ole Miss and ahead of Pitt.

That's okay. They'll be back in the top ten 2 weeks from now after wins against Auburn and Alabama.

If Mizzou somehow un****ed themselves and ended up as a two-loss team behind a three-loss Ole Miss, it would be the greatest encapsulation of college football ever.

Mizzou can't seem to beat Auburn or Mississippi State in anything. Until they do I still see those as losses on the schedule.

Holy shit what a catch by Manning!

Cook went down on his own. Usually not good.

Well that's not what I wanted.

Brady Cook to the locker room. Non contact knee injury. Didn't look too bad, though.

He was hurt on the sack earlier. Three plays before. Looked like an ankle. He stayed in and fell down twice in two plays and nobody mentioned it on the call

Cook actually got hurt a couple of plays before that play where he went down. On the play where he tried to do a QB run he got hurt on the tackle that looked awkward.

That makes sense. I was cooking the kids brunch and half ass watching.

Hate that Sam Horn ****ed his arm pitching. Drew Pyne doesn't really instill confidence.

Only an ankle injury. These ****ing commentators still haven't picked up that it was on a different play.

Beautiful block to seal the edge on that run.

How was that not pass interference? Dude shoved him out of bounds and never turned his head.

Bad pass by Pyne but that still should have been pass interference

South Carolina is smoking Oklahoma

This team is such ****ing dogshit. This is the 2005 Chiefs vs Giants level tackling. This entire staff is so goddamned gutless.

Just wondering what Luther Burden did to hack off Drink and Moore to not find ways to get the ball to him?

Is Mizzou trying to become the Florida State of this year?

Is there any coach with more of a bulldog mouth and puppy dog ass than Drinkwitz?

This is pathetic. Open up the god damn offense and get Burden the ball. It's like Eli is afraid Drew will show up his lover.

No clue why we went feeble and didn’t try to attempt to begin to think I about trying to score at the end of the half

You know it.

This team is absolute shit.

My big concern is that Drink and Moore have no confidence in anyone but Brady Cook due to their tunnel vision....so they don't know what to do with Pyne.

And Pyne isn't doing anything to instill confidence

I can see why Drink refused to sit down a heathy but struggling Cook. He has nothing at QB.

Please take Rhule from us
