Mizzou football 2010

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Last week at this time I wasn't sure if I was coming to Columbia.

I made a good decision.

Mizzou now looks like they have a very good chance to win at the very least the Big 12 North, as long as they can get past Nebraska.

With the win over Oklahoma that'll definitely put the Tigers into the Top Ten.

From the Dept of People Are Disrespecting Us comes this gem

Former Oklahoma defensive tackle and current Tampa Bay Buc Gerald McCoy predicts a beatdown Saturday, when the Sooners travel to Columbia to face the Missouri Tigers.

McCoy took exception to the Sooners being scheduled as the Tigers' homecoming opponent. The "honor" traditionally is bestowed on a team that can provide an easy victory.

"That's a given. It's Oklahoma," McCoy said on a conference call with Rams beat writers. "The reason I know we're going to win is because it's like a slap in the face to schedule your homecoming with us coming into town. It's like 'we're going to blow them out.'"

McCoy was the first-round pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, whom the Rams will face Sunday.

I wonder how those words taste

So who was the Nat. Light Player of the Game? McGaffie? Jackson? Gabbert? Josey? Moore? Aldon Smith? Gooden? The O-line? Soooo many candidates.

I'm a trenches a guy. I believe that great lines can make mediocre talent look great. The tigers rushed for 178 yards, Gabbert had so much time he could have darned socks before most of his passes, even in the rain he had enough time to make good throws, and the line literally scored the Franklin td. I have got to give it to them.

I'm also a believer in the tiger d now.

Anyone else here utterly perplexed by Stoops' decision to go for 2 with about 6 minutes left and OU trailing by 8 (PAT pending)? That might be the dumbest coaching move this season. It just makes no sense.

You kick the PAT, get the deficit down to 8, and then keep the pressure on because you are now only down by one possession.

WTF Stoops?

You mean when they were down by 15?

Yeah, surprising to me. I always learned that as a coach you put off the 2-pt conversion for as long as you can.

Well, they had just scored a touchdown, right? So they were down 9.

Bad decision, no doubt.

I absolutely hate it when coaches go for two before the 4th quarter. But with six minutes left, I don't know that much can happen that makes the decision that important. We can build some wacky scenarios, but I wouldn't want to see how much the officials will let the home team get away with while defending against a two-point conversion attempt that would tie the game in the last minute or so.
