College Football Week 14 (Rivalry Week) thread

Mizzou in the West would, I think, be somewhere in the Ole Miss/LSU group. Meaning they'd finish around 5-3, maybe 6-2, but they'd get more RESPECT!!!!!!!!!!

This way is more fun.

 

Yeah. Definitely keep Mike London another year. He's awesome.

 

Craig Littlepage saw enough on that last drive to start working on a 5-year extension. Not 10, like they gave Al Groh, because that would be stupid. But at least 5.

 

So yeah, Mike London can recruit, but how many Top 25 classes in a row does the guy need before he can do better than 5-7 in a week conference?

Littlepage was keeping his buddy no matter what and had to announce it early because he knew what the reaction would be after yet another loss like that.

 

I rarely ever say anything nice about Mizzou and I'm pretty sure I've never complimented Mike Alden, but ....

Think back to where Missouri and Kansas were circa 2008. Missouri was a little better as a program but it was close and both schools had coaches who, in terms of running a football program, were perfect fits. But KU had an AD that wanted his own guy, had trouble getting along with people and manufactured a controversy to get rid of Mangino.

Alden did the opposite, he didn't yield to the calls from fans to get rid of him after a down year and he stuck with him after the DUI and some other off the field problems. The results on the field for both teams say it all.

 

The Bielema timeout was puzzling for two reasons.

One, he gave the officials time to review the play that was ruled a fumble. Also by doing so, the timeout screwed any chance of getting the ball back if they did fail on the drive.

What Arkansas fans will soon learn now that the Hogs are playing close games. Bielema is a dreadful coach in close games. Makes Andy Reid and Mike Smith look like Bill Walsh.

 

Enough time has passed that I can think about this again: How about the Hokies pulling a Shanahan and not only putting their clearly injured running QB back in the game, but running a sweep with him? Did he sleep with Beamer's daughter or something?

 

That's what you're worried about?

 

The last time an air of superiority was felt in Knoxville, Iraq was led by Saddam Hussein.

 

More fanboi love about MU's mediocre SEC experience:

The SEC teams Mizzou has beaten over the last two years have combined to win 35% of their SEC games. The SEC teams Alabama has beaten have combined to win 37%.

 

Mizzou is a decent team. That had a bad beat at home. Two of them, actually. All I'm saying is that winning the East has been easier than winning the west over the last several years. The SEC West team has won 9 of the last 12 SECCGs.

 

No, but I've given up on UVA football for as long as Craig Littlepage is drawing a UVA paycheck. Poor Brenden Motley doesn't need to have his career ruined by the awful football that has enveloped this series.

Although that game probably winds up 28-3 with a healthy Motley, so maybe I shouldn't complain.
