I totally misjudged Barry when we were 1-5 & he gave his post game speech. I thought he was totally over his head much like Kim Anderson with the basketball team.

Glad I was wrong.

Exactly

Also, it would have been pretty cool to see Beckner get into the end zone. The guy has been through so much and worked to hard to come back after two knee surgeries. Two more games to appreciate how good he is before he goes to the NFL.

Related: how many 305+ DL can snag the ball out of the air like that, and then come that close to retuning it 90ish yards for a TD? Guessing not too many.

If they had started the season this way they'd be 9-2 with the Arkansas game left.

a bunch of true freshmen were playing really well last night. You still think our recruiting is awful?

These are not the same guys from September. I’m not saying it’s aliens, but it’s aliens.

Seems to be plenty of NFL scouts at these Mizzou games.

Pass me a hefty serving of crow, too.

Ignore him. He's still butthurt from the Penn State game and that Nebraska is becoming irrelevant.

He's a NU fan...they haven't seen real talent in decades.

Yup. Long term you won't succeed in the SEC with these kind of recruiting classes. You've beat 2 teams without coaches and a bunch of other rubbish. I'm not trolling and it's nice you don't have to fire your coach this year but long term my opinion of your program hasn't changed.

NU has a mediocre coach with shit recruiting that won 9 games beating up on similar bad teams last year. Can you provide examples of SEC teams winning with 60th ranked recruiting classes?

Going 8-5 would probably help with recruiting

Friday we get to see if Lock can break an SEC touchdown record.

Odom deserves a lot of credit for the turn around. What Mizzou has done is remarkable since they started 1-5. The players could have easily given up on the season and quit on Odom, but they didn't.

I think Odom as a recruiter has a ways to go and you will have a better idea of how good he is once Lock and Beckner leave. Neither of those players were recruited by Odom.

But this stretch, while they've done it, does deserve to be met with some skepticism. They have beaten a team that is moving down from FBS to FCS, a team that brought back a coach from their "glory days" as a program that has not really ever had a lot of success outside of a part of Edsall's first time as HC at UConn at the FBS level(they've been shit since he left and are shit since he's returned), a team that fired its HC before facing Mizzou, and two teams that can win no more than 5 games this season, including a team which might have its first 8 loss season in program history.

While I don't doubt that Mizzou has improved they started 1-5, I do doubt that the improved play will be sustainable long term.

They do have other guys that will be in the draft. . .
