  1. You're forgetting our biggest power threat of them all...
  2. i'm not freaking out yet, but fuku is 0 for his last 13
  3. i hope if it's still 3-1 in the 7th lou has some sense in mind to bring in some of the starters
  4. I'll bet you're happier than a pig in you know what that you missed your schedule start on Thursday !! :wink: It was divine intervention, what are you talking about. Hey that's right...these should be my wins! :evil:
  5. I'm still trying to figure out a way to get DeMarre Carroll a few more years of eligibility.
  6. At this point they should just change their name to the Kansas City Greinke's and be done with it.
  7. It's come out in the past day or so that there was a lot of misunderstanding. It's still up in the air though.
  8. Some people thought the Blaines would end up the same way the Chases did, with the shorter, less heralded guy beating out the better rated recruit for the starting job. Though it seems that Gabbert's extra year of experience in addition to his gifts has given him the leg up on Dalton, but Dalton is still well regarded. Ultimately though, he is a freshman with no collegiate experience, and is in some legal trouble right now(although it appears to be not very serious), so Mizzou is probably thin as far as capability, but not necessarily from a talent perspective. With regards to the North, I'd agree, except I simply don't think that highly of Nebraska. They're replacing even more of their offense than Mizzou, and they had a gap to bridge to reach Mizzou's level to begin with. KU is pretty clearly the best team, and the only reason another team should win the North is because of their schedule(both OU and Texas, @TT, Mizzou on a neutral field). It wouldn't be unlikely at all for KU to lose to both OU and Texas, and split Nebraska and Mizzou. If it were Mizzou that beats them, they could lose @OSU, v. Texas, and v. Nebraska and still beat out KU(the other 4 games are the dregs of the North and v. Baylor). If it's NU they can lose @Mizzou, v. OU, and v. TT and still beat KU(with the same dregs of the North + Baylor as their conference wins). Dalton will probably be a third stringer this year anyways. I feel like I've heard Jimmy Costello has the leg up on the No. 2 spot.
  9. I figure 8 or 9 wins is likely for Mizzou. They could hit 10 if Gabbert breaks in quickly enough. I'm excited to see what we'll do with our new O and D-Coordinators though. Obviously the D was a major problem last year and hopefully they can do some things to limit the damage this year with so many new starters. I'm hoping the new OC implements a bigger running attack into the spread. We've got some solid RBs and a better running attack would help keep the pressyre off of Gabbert. In the end, 8-9 wins would be fantastic. 10 and/or a Big 12 North title is a longshot but something that could happen if everything gets clicking in conference play.
  10. And the whole morning I thought the game was tonight. [expletive].
  11. man this Dallas/Denver game is physical and the refs are letting it go.
  12. lee heating up maybe? also what happened to Z? did it look serious?
  13. Got the split we needed! Time to go to Chicago and take complete control of the series.
  14. at least we're back to full strength. run this clock out boys
  15. [expletive]. that wouldve been awesome
