I found the schedule, so I figured that now is as good of a time as any to start a new thread. Coach Drink has done well turning around the mess that Odom left behind. Solid recruiting has our best commit class in years coming in this year. The schedule isn't bad. A bowl game should be a given. I would like to see 9 -10 wins this year, with one of the wins coming against Arkansas. I really don't like losing to Odom.
Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz called it the best recruiting class ever for the Tigers.
Sure enough, Mizzou's current class is ranked No. 11 by ESPN, No. 14 by 247 Sports and No. 17 by Rivals, the highest in program history [Reply]
Former Mizzou defensive coordinators doing well these days: Matt Eberflus: Bears HC Barry Odom: UNLV HC Ryan Walters: Purdue HC Steve Wilks: Panthers interim HC (maybe getting that interim tag pulled?)

Not really sure why UNLV went with Odom being that he can't recruit well and his defense finished near the bottom of the SEC at almost every statistical category this year.
Former Missouri defensive back John Gibson died Friday in Houston, the family said, via the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Gibson, a multiyear starter for the Tigers who played in 49 games total from 2013-16, was the victim of a shooting, the family said, via The Post-Dispatch.
Gibson, according to details on a GoFundMe page included by The Post-Dispatch, was "brutally murdered." A Facebook post from Gibson's cousin, also shared by The Post-Dispatch, claims Gibson was "shot and killed." Specific circumstances surrounding the shooting that claimed Gibson's life are not clear at this time. [Reply]

But, hey, good for him I guess.
Just saw that he hired Bobby Petrino to run the offense. [Reply]

Of course, Arkansas is a bigger draw for them anyway.
Missouri wasn't even bowl eligible until they closed the win against Arkansas. Liberty Bowl officials were in the Arkansas locker room right about Missouri won.

Tell me how that works out.
It doesn't matter really. What matters is we have credible reports that MU didn't want to play KU in a bowl game. Which is hilarious. No spin will ever make that go away.
It is crazy to me that KU is in a better spot football wise right now than MU. Long journey for KU from putrid to mediocre. [Reply]

Man I don't have a dog in the fight that is known as littlest penis award that is the MU-KU rivalry but Mizzou football is in way better shape than KU and only a complete KU homer would say otherwise. [Reply]

Leipold is a better coach than Drinkwitz, but in terms of program resources this could not be further from the truth (and I know KU has a relatively new indoor complex). [Reply]

Credible?
Can you explain what details about the sourcing became public so that you invested all of your belief into the credibility you identify.
Seems like the story was from a Tweeter that has huge financial incentive to draw traffic and little price to pay if it is made up horseshit.
