Last Study Hall I did mention this Q4 games were starting to wear me out. So watching this game isn’t particularly something I was looking forward to.

When Eli Drinkwitz was hired as Mizzou’s head football coach in December 2019, he had this to say about the offense he planned to implement in Columbia: “Our style of play on offense is a pro-tempo style. We’re going to base out of the no-huddle. We’re going to be quarterback driven. We’re going to have […]

Hey! Did you hate playing against Alabama, Auburn, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma? You did? Good! Now here’s something completely different! Arkansas is 2-9. They haven’t won a football game since September 6th. They fired Sam Pittman nearly two months ago and their interim coach, Bobby Petrino, has not won a game. Oh, and the best […]

I’m kind of pissed off today. Not because Missouri is 7-4, mind you. When Beau Pribula went down with a dislocated ankle against Vanderbilt earlier this season, I figured we might end up at this point, with not much to play for but pride by the time Thanksgiving rolled around. And I’m OK with that, […]

How many more ways can we describe an Eli Drinkwitz going on the road and/or going against a Top 10 team and losing a close one? It’s getting pretty repetitive, eh? And how many more ways can we describe any Missouri football team travelling to Norman, Oklahoma and getting beat? It’s the 20th-straight time we […]

And there was one. “Demoralizing” is probably too strong of a word to put on this specific Mizzou Football season. After all, there’s still a very real possibility that the Tigers end up winning 9 games, including a bowl, which would’ve been a better-than-average year under Gary Pinkel and would’ve beaten even the best year […]

I still have BTBS coming up on Tuesday but an idea led to a rabbit hole which led to this broken-out article. Mostly, my complaint revolves around how Kirby Moore scripts his plays and the decision matrix he uses on when to do what. And while I’ve never worn a coach’s headset or installed an […]

In what has become a regular occurrence this season, the Missouri defense gave the Tigers a chance to win against a ranked opponent. Mizzou was trying to play spoiler role in Norman on Saturday to ruin Oklahoma’s playoff hopes, but in a 17-6 loss where the offense was non-existent, it was safe to say that […]

When it comes to Mizzou football, there are a lot of thoughts running through my head these days. Some of them revolve around whether Missouri will be hiring a new football coach in the next few weeks.
