My favorite things:

1) The gameplan. Missouri diced up aTm on both sides of the ball. Gabbert really elevated his play and made some outstanding throws. If thats the QB we see the rest of the year, the sky is the limit for this team.

2) The defensive line. Yes, aTm has a weak OL. But Missouri's defense - and especially the DL - played outstanding football, and it started up front. Good D vs. the run, and great pressure.

3) That Missouri dominated and won the game straight up. All week, most of the pundits were talking about Missouri having to force a lot of turnovers to have a chance against aTm and keep up in a shootout. Instead, Missouri dominated wire-to-wire, and showed it clearly was a better team in all facets.

Forgot to mention: GREAT play from the secondary, especially Rutland and Kip Edwards. This D, I think, is just going to get better as the season goes along (barring further injuries). It all starts up front, though. I love the way the D has stepped up with Aldon Smith out... if Madison, J. Smith, etc keep up this level of play when Aldon comes back, watch out....

I can't imagine our gimmicky spread offense will be effective against OU. Never has been in the past.

I think the defense will keep us in it until the end, and then they'll run out of gas and we'll collapse in the 4th quarter.

Hope I'm wrong.

Finally? WTF?

Easily the best QB has had in, well,...?

More about my expectations than anything Gabbert has done. I spent an off season hoping for a healthy Blaine Gabbert... for what we saw today.

I hear you. When healthy, he's simply one of the (if not "the") best in college football.

eh? why?

I would much rather root for MU to stay undefeated and challenge for a national title game than my Huskers winning a meaningless division title.

I hate Pinkel's offensive scheme.

Mizzou fans should be thankful as hell that we have Pinkel.

There's something to be said for understanding where your program falls in the big scheme of things. Unfortunately, Mizzou will never be a perennial National Title contender. What they should be, however, is a perennial top-25 team. Largely, Pinkel has made this possible, while greatly improving facilities and recruiting well.

In my view, this is about as well as Mizzou can reasonably expect. When things line up especially well, we'll have an even better year. Perhaps like the ride we're on now? In short, though, we're lucky to have him.

*Naturally, this doesn't mean that anyone is above criticism. This is a completely separate issue.

Congratulations Tigers. I know its almost impossible to throw well wishes your way, but I would much rather see a Big XII team win our conference than a Big 10 one. Since we're oviously not going to be much of a speed bump this year, hope you guys send the Huskers a nice "going away" gift when you play them.

Most Mizzou fans hate the offensive system that has consistently given Missouri its best offensive teams in the past 40 years?

I know that some people hate the spread irrationally, but it's a big part of Pinkel's success at Mizzou. It's the reason Missouri continues to attract great quarterbacks (Next one in line, IMO: 2012 kid Gunner Kiel, who probably is the guy that replaces Franklin as the starter) and helped attract the great WR class this past recruiting cycle.

It gives Missouri the best shot to be a consistent winner in the new conference, that's for sure. Going to a pro style system just isn't going to work that often for a school like Missouri (too reliant on a great QB/great OL).

I WOULD like to see an ace set incorporated (with a TE in the slot and a blocking TE attached to the line on the opposite side), but the spread is Missouri's bread and butter.

The Tigers are damn lucky to have had a "win" hire like Pinkel. Let's just hope they are similarly successful when it comes time to hire his replacement...
