When the alternative is Stephen McGee throwing 10+ yard passes to the other team/no one in particular, you take your chances with the whole YAC thing.

I don't understand how aTm beat Oklahoma State, or even Nebraska for that matter. They're terrible.

That's not good at all. I hope it doesn't hurt his NFL prospects. What's his draft projection? He wasn't really on the draft radar prior to this season(and with good reason, he's a first year starter), so it's hard to tell. I think he'll get a chance at the NFL level in some capacity, although he may have to earn his way onto the roster because of the injury(and the fact that his coverage skills are subpar). And I agree with Cubbies75 that we have the depth to absorb a loss in the defensive backfield, although obviously we'll be worse off. We've played a ton of 3 safety sets, and our 3rd safety Garrett missed this week with a minor injury, so whoever ends up there won't be shell shocked. Probably means more Alexander/Lambert instead of the 3rd safety going forward though.

I read Brown is done for the season with a ruptured achilles. I really hope this doesn't send the defense into a tailspin like losing Brian Smith did last year. KU takes a 3-0 lead on aTm. The aggies need to stay within a score at all times, because they sure aren't going to win anything with McGee making throws.

Mizzou didn't look their best, but they beat Iowa State 42-28. Now on to Boulder.
-
Wood and Prior would feel like they've stumbled into a bad horror movie. -
I forget which one it was, but someone replaced Theriot with A-Rod in one of the lineup simulators and it was 90+ runs difference.
-
Whoops missed MSU and UCLA/MD on there somehow. Pretty sure you'll lose one of those. They aren't listed because they aren't guaranteed, part of that CBE tournament. So I guess it could be someone besides them if they got knocked off(or Mizzou could do something stupid like lose to Fordham at home), but I'm reasonably confident we can make it to KC for that game against MSU.
-
I think I'd take Mizzou losing to U of I if it meant we were undefeated going in. That'd mean wins @ Arkansas, @ Cal, v. Michigan State and UCLA/Maryland in KC, and Purdue at home. And Cubbies75 forgot that Leo Lyons is an aspiring rapper, with such recording hits as "I'll bust ya head". I wish I was kidding.

The Kobe thread (Formerly Kobe to be traded by Oct 30)
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Banedon's topic in Other Sports
I dont know, but hes been able to score so far in the preseason. Hes big and slow on D, but offensively he has shown potential. Kevin Martin and Kelenna Azubuike will be All-Stars. -

That's got to be coachspeak, right? Gray is an oaf, he's going to get brutalized in the NBA. -
Barring a miracle, Wolf's taking over first place. Throw the football Carson Palmer.

Going by Sagarin, KU's SOS is 117th(7th worst in I-A), Mizzou's is 48th. There's more than just the usual circular logic of "who's good, who's not good" between those two. I never said ours was better than yours. I'm saying Mizzou fans chirp like they've run through some unholy gauntlet, when they've played a pretty average schedule, and they've still lost a game. I've also noticed we're #2 in the Sagarin ratings, which really must piss you slave-staters off. Sagarin schedule ratings aside, are you really that proud of your schedule? I wasn't trying to imply you thought KU's schedule was better. My point was that the difference is so large that it makes up for Mizzou having a loss(especially when it's against the best team either Mizzou or KU has played and it was on the road). And no, I'm not trying to say Mizzou has played some type of gauntlet. Like my original post in the thread, we have a slightly better SOS and a similar loss as Virginia Tech and WVU, but because we weren't in the preseason Top 25 and our loss is more recent, they are both 5-7 spots ahead of Mizzou in the human polls.

Boo-hoo. We're 7-0. You're not. Advantage Jayhawks. Well you can say that because you've already pre-emptively posted the Mangino cupcakes picture.
-
Yeah, V Tech and WVU have worse resumes than we do too.
-
Swap A-Rod (assuming this year's stats) for Theriot average runs per game goes from 5.085 to 5.679 worth 300 million? ~100 extra runs per year? Yeah, yeah it is.
-
Wuertz's value to his current team much exceeds his value to a team that would trade for him. He's a good reliever, but he's not so much better than the high ceiling alternatives that exist on every team to make him valuable in trade, even less so when considering the variability in reliever performance.
-
Nope, and Google doesn't seem to help either.
-
Link from the Mizzou board @ Scout.
-
Sorry Truffle, you get OSU-MSU instead of Mizzou-TT. I'm not quite sure why the only game in that time slot with two ranked teams is getting the least coverage, but I'll be there so it doesn't bother me that much.
-
Hmm, I disagree except for KSU over OSU. Otherwise I'd flip all of those picks. Probably the heart talking more than anything with the KU game though. I'm very concerned. Yeah, Mizzou's trip to Boulder terrifies me. I'm thinking that winning there is going to require some good luck like we had at Tech last year(thx for the back to back pick 6's, mr harrell).

The Colorado Rockies win the National League
Transmogrified Tiger replied to OleMissCub's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
No they don't. They average 28.9k and the Bucs average 22.1k. Got to look at capacity -

Out of the emotions I could express, I think I'll go with bitterness. Screw the Rockies, they draw worse than the Pirates. -
Reds Hire Dusty Baker

If someone is able to assess how good/bad a player's mechanics are, then it's not an intangible.
