Missouri season reveiw

[SouthAfricanHusker]

I think I am one of the loan followers of this blog but WOW. He really rips into Missouri's season. I never knew in all the crap they gave us for winning "only because of 3 late TDs" they did the same thing against Bowling Green. They are not going to be around long if they can't dominate the BG's of the world.

 

Wow

This guy actually laid it out pretty straight, except for this gem:

 

The season started with a huge win against a dark horse contender for the Big 11 title.

 

Maybe you could have said Illinois was a dark horse title contender after the second week of the season, but after that they had 5 straight losses and finished the season 3-9.

the paper and the kool aid had people believing in this team. i mean it wasn't that long ago they were playing USC in the rose bowl.

 

But yea they tanked.

i have to disagree with saying the NU/Mizzou game will be all defense and all offense. i think it will be all NU, but if not, i think we will still have a competent offense. not too mention, with our awful offense, we still scorched them in the fourth.

In all fairness, at the time of the Ill/MU game, Illinois was considered a dark horse for the Big 10+1.

I always put credence in, and I actually seek out, opinion pieces by authors named "Snickies".

Good point. There is a certain level of dignitas that a name like "Snickies" has that something like "Walter Cronkite" or "Dan Rather" lacks.

You know I must be one of the only Husker fans who still kind of likes Missouri. I like them a lot less since I've attended some games at Mizzou but I still don't completely hate them. Weird.

I will never forget how I was treated at a Nebraska game @ Mizzou.

To be objective, I don't see MU going away. I don't know if they will ever be an elite team, but with Pinkle, they perhaps could average eight or nine wins per regular season. The problem I see with Missouri is Pinkle appears to have a great offensive mind but not nearly as good on defense. Against elite teams that have great defenses and have at least serviceable offense, MU will struggle for the most part. That was a big problem Leach's TTU.

Yea Mizzou is starting to become the TT of the North Division with their offense first mentality.

True and I can completely understand that. My point is, I don't think a writer can create a season review and then put that in there. It's rather misleading to say it at the end of the season after they went 3-9. I can completely understand him saying it if he wrote this after Week 2 or Week 3, but not at this point.
