Too bad they ****ed around and lost that winnable Kentucky game. Then they'd be looking at (a reasonable shot at) an 8-4 finish and a somewhat respectable bowl instead of whatever piece of crap they end up getting.
But after the the past couple of disastrous seasons I guess the whogivesashit.com bowl is better than nothing. |

I'm amazed at this turnaround. I thought the steps Barry Odom was taking heading into the UGa game were signs of a coach who was spinning out of control and about to lose it.
But he deserves major credit for righting the ship, keeping his team from quitting, and finding a way to move forward. Yes, Missouri is in the soft part of its schedule. Yes, a major opportunity was missed (play like this from the start, and Missouri is definitely the winner against South Carolina, Kentucky, and Purdue, which puts them in position to potentially win 10 games... the type of season that would have allowed them to make a major impact in recruiting THIS year. But still... closing the season with 7 straight wins, which looks possible now, would be an awesome step forward for Odom and his staff and give them the opportunity to build this program back up. It probably won't resonate heavily in the current recruiting class, but they can take this momentum into the 2018 season and 2019 recruiting class. Half of the official depth chart is players from recruiting classes Odom was involved with, and there are 6-8 additional players getting major minutes who qualify two. He hasn't signed flashy classes, but they have shown an ability to find guys who are underrated, which is a key skill for a Missouri coaching staff. IF Drew Lock returns, this team could have a really special season in Year 3. They'll almost certainly lose Terry Beckner, Jr, which is a huge blow to the defensive front, but the offense would return: Lock Rountree/Crockett Jon Johnson, hall, Richard Floyd Albert O/Blanton 9/10 of OL two-deep That's incredibly exciting. |

I admit Im surprised they are playing this well. The schedule has helped as they got a few cupcakes followed by teams that have totally collapsed, but they cant control that and still took care of business. Its good not seeing them being a complete laughing stock. KU and Nebraska have that all to to themselves now.

I think people are getting a bit too optimistic after running the table against some trash teams.

I think it is a good sign that the team didn't just mail it in and finish with 4 wins and Odom deserves a lot of credit for that. However, do you(general you, not individually you, BB) really think that the quality of their opponents is not a major reason as to why they have won 4 straight? |
