Link: A Mizzou Fan's Post Game Rumination

[KrAzY3]

Missouri had a lot of bad luck and A&M had a lot of good luck. I felt like Missouri was going to have an easier time than A&M. A&M had a new coach, and up until Petrino got fired, one would have expected Arkansas to be well ahead of A&M.

Of course, as we now know Arkansas and Auburn are train wrecks. So, A&M has one more win that I would have expected thus far. On the other hand, Georgia, Florida and USC have all been performing at a reasonable level, something that hasn't happened in a while. Missouri doesn't really have an easy path, playing them and Alabama. Missouri will do better, but they'll only do better in the short term when one of those other programs struggle.

See, here's the first problem. I assume Columbia is in the Central Time Zone. This dude is making a Bloody Mary 1/2 hour before kickoff, which is 2:00 his time. Bourbon, my friend. It's bourbon time.

You're welcome.

Mizzou will not excell because they won't be able to recruit well enough to be good.

I enjoy most of the stuff Grantland does. Simmons has out done himself with that site. I'd post more links from it, but the language often violates board policies.

You thick skinned adults should browse around the site though. You'll thank me later.

That was a good read.........especially after exchanging some pre-season banter with them about how tired they were of hearing their program wasn't ready for the SEC.

The guy seems like a really good writer. These two lines made me laugh..

Last year, Alabama and its NFL defense used a very simple formula to get to the national championship. The team they were playing was not going to score, and eventually, Trent Richardson would.

I couldn’t help but picture old friends Saban and Gary Pinkel sitting in a Columbia hotel room, the former with a psychotic smirk on his face, asking Pinkel, “If the road you followed brought you to this, of what use was the road?”

Great writing - this guy has a future.

Juxtapose that article with the one by the Oregon fan.
