Study Hall: Mizzou 98, South Carolina State 66

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. While Houston and Tennessee were battling it out in Las Vegas in a terrific battle of titans, I flipped away as the SEC Network+ was broadcasting the Tigers […]

Would Mizzou and Kirby Moore benefit from a separation?

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 […]

Arkansas Razorbacks Preview

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 […]

The Disrespectful Bryce Index: An Oklahoma Special

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, […]

Beyond the Box Score: Scripted

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 […]

The Revue: Attack of the Boring

Week 14 Opening Odds: Time for the Battle Line

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 […]

A Deeper Look at That Opening Drive

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 […]

MV3: Defense Delivers in Mizzou’s 17-6 Loss to Oklahoma

In what has become a regular occurrence this season, the Missouri defense gave the Tigers a chance to win against a ranked opponent.
