Mizzou football 2010

Sure would be nice to give the Sooners a real battle all game long.

Flashing back to how disappointing the '07 B12 final was with MU not being able to finish drives.

I still think OU is better than Mizzou, but this Sooner team is probably the worst of any the Tigers have played in the Stoops era. I would only be mildly surprised if they pulled off the upset.

I think you're right. Only the 05 and 09 Sooners were worse, and we didn't play them either year.

Yeah, if you want to know which one of OU or Texas is a great team/title contender, just look at which one drew Mizzou that year, it's kinda ridiculous.


My lone hope for Mizzou is not only that they're playing great defense, but that it's schematically different. Gone are the 8-10 yard cushions on receivers on nearly every play, and they're actually dialing up blitzes regularly and relying more on press coverage. Hope it works this weekend.

Somebody's picking Mizzou.

The weird thing is that in Football Outsiders' S&P info, Mizzou has actually been the better team:

but just barely, and not enough to make me shake the feeling that OU will annihilate them. Call it Stockholm Syndrome. I'm beginning to identify with Mizzou's captors.

I am programmed to expect MU to get creamed. If not, I then default to expecting them to lose on an illegal blocked field goal that bounces off the helmet of the center into the hands of the holder who then throws it to the RG for the winning TD. No challenge allowed of course.

Is it game time yet?

Is it game time yet?

I'm supposed to go to a very informal baby shower on Saturday. It's more of a meet-and-greet for my friends who live up north who are bringing their newborn to town so their STL family and friends can meet the tyke. It runs from 2 until... well, whenever. And I'm really excited to see my friends and the kid and blah blah blah... but I already told the father that I was going to show up at 2 and leave ASAP. I even recommended that he and I just take the baby to a bar to watch the game.

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.
