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]

Pepperidge Farm remembers.
It was an all-timer. Not sure how any could see Cook's erratic throws and be excited.
If I had to pick a somewhat realistic replacement for Drinkwitz at this point, I'd maybe look at David Shaw. It's a miracle he's lasted at Stanford for as long as he has and has to be looking for somewhere with more football resources. [Reply]

I didn’t say anything brash. I have no illusions about KSU being great. My comment was about the obviously skewed perception of Missouri fans. But you do you. [Reply]

Interestingly enough, it's a usual expectation for people to think a program will move forward in Year 3.
It didn't happen and I think people came back down to earth quickly. Can't guess 'em all right, but you do you. [Reply]

I get that this is a Missouri thread, and I’ll move along after this. But read back through the shit said about KSU. It’s beyond ridiculous. Good luck going forward.
The fact that Mizzou is this bad year 3 under Drink isn’t good.

This is pathetic by Mizzou. I’m more alarmed by how bad Mizzou is than how good KSU is
As a K-State fan this was my take away from the game, and not even in the respect of it being the Cats being all that good. We shot ourselves in the foot multiple times and failed to take advantage of a couple of situations. We dominated, and the score shows it but, what the score doesn’t show is how long it took to get to that score. It was an all around excruciating game, and Mizzou put up almost no fight, which was not only boring but, surprising. Had they, it could have been a completely different game. [Reply]
Single worst game of QB play since a strung out Mauk couldn't find his coke dealer before Georgia in 2014. Drinkwitz desperately needs an OC or he'll be getting fired next year. He is clearly not a guy that can scheme or develop talent. He needs people underneath him to do that. [Reply]
On the bright side, at least Mizzou has successfully diverted enough money to football to have a bottom tier team while also reducing their employees' PTO by two weeks a year. [Reply]

KSU was messing around, completely unconcerned and unthreatened. They were sloppy and made mental mistakes
KSU is gonna go 8-4. Their QB will throw 11TD and 6INT. They have a 50% chance to win their late December bowl game. That’s who they are
And we still lost to them by as many points as South Dakota. Only position we are superior at is kicker (and probably WR, but we don’t have the QB to exploit that. KSU would look good with guys like Lovett and Dove)
We’ll win 3 games this year. KSU now the only local football program that knows what it’s doing. Sad [Reply]

With SEC schedule coming up I don't think he lasts long enough to hire an OC.
There's also the word that coaches don't like him. [Reply]
