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]

Why not? With MU's supposed dominance in the rivalry, surely they could roll them up for the more prestigious bowl game that pays out roughly $5,000,000 more than the pre-Christmas bowl game that has it's first two P5 schools ever playing in it. [Reply]

Prestigious?
All of the games that have SEC tie-ins aside from the Citrus Bowl are basically the same in terms of prestige aside from maybe whatever was formerly known as the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville. [Reply]

Because they wanted to be done before Christmas and there wasn't a bowl game that lined up that could take both teams. You guys are dense as fuck.

They haven't been in a bowl game since MySpace. They have no idea. [Reply]

Considerably more prestigious than the Gasparilla bowl, which dates all the way back to 2008 and never had a P5 team before this year.

Considerably less embarrassing if Drunkwitz doesn't publicly come out running his dicklicker about not being afraid of Kansas only to take a far inferior bowl to duck them. [Reply]
Yeah, it's pretty obvious they ARE scared to play Kansas. I'd at least respect them a bit if they just came outright and said it instead of hiding behind a feeble excuse like not wanting to have two events scheduled on the same day. [Reply]
Being in St. Joe, there's enough KU fans but still more Mizzou fans, among us friends. My MU fan friends wanted to see them play KU in football too. The travel would have been through the roof, the game would have sold out, and people at home who otherwise wouldn't have, would have been tuning in.
I get the justification of the decision, I really do. But the decision was made, and now more people aren't going to care when KU plays Arkansas, and more people aren't going to care when Missouri plays Wake. And I doubt MU travels well to Tampa, although it is a more desireable location. MU fans would have flocked to Memphis with the game against the Jayhawks. Instead you'll have your game against Wake, maybe win, maybe lose, and then probably get whalloped at home against Kentucky while using that as an excuse not to play Kansas.
It's like the justification to move on the SEC. Sure the Big 12 was in flux and more dollars went your way. But the fans suffered, KC has suffered without having MU in the mix during bug tournaments, and less people in the area really care anymore.
Call it a justified decision. It still sucks. [Reply]

They already laid out their preferences before there was ever any talk of a possible match up.
You guys just want to leak your pussies allover sometimes.

They're playing really soon in a lit more desirable locations! The stakes will be higher, too.
If MU backs out of that series well yeah they should be absolutely scorned for it. Over the Go Chicken Go bowl? Please. [Reply]
