NamelessHusker Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Missouri fans and players are excited they hold their own fate in determining whether this team is headed to Houston in December or not. Pinkle is 27-27 at Missouri after last weekends win over Nebraska in Columbia --Missouri's longest winning streak under Gary Pinkle is 4 consecutive games. (in 2003) --Missouri has lost 5 games minimum under Pinkle each of the last 4 years. With already 2 losses on the season, could Missouri lose 3 more game? Remaining opponents @Kansas (Kansas currrently has a 2 game winning steak over the tigers) @Colorado (Pinkle is 1-3 vs Gary Barnett & Missouri is 1-9 in Boulder since 1985) Baylor (took Oklahoma and Texas A&M to OT and beat Iowa St on the road) @Kansas St (MU is on a 12 game losing streak to Kansas St since 1993 and is 0-7 in Manhattan since 1993) -Longest losing streak under Pinkle 5 games (in 2004) Misosuri is a bad road team against Big12 opponents -Missouri is 5-13 on the road against Big12 teams under gary Pinkel. 5 of those wins were against 2001 @Oklahoma St St 41-38 (New head coach Les Miles installing offense) 2001 @Kansas 38-34 (Terry Allen later fired that year after a 3-8 season) 2002 @A&M 33-27 (R. C Slocum later fired that year after a 6-6 season) 2004 @Baylor 30-10 (ended the season 3-8) 2004 @ Iowa St 17-14 (pulled out a last minute field goal win to deny ISU division) Just some things to think about as Rojo would say for those of you who think the Big12 North is out of reach after the Missouri loss. My prediction is Missouri loses to KU, CU, and KSU Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I think Mizzou could drop 2 or 3 of their remaining games. They could lose to Baylor, CU, and KSU. Unless their bus crashes, they won't lose to KU. I still think the Big 12 North is CU's to piss down their leg. Until Mizzou or Nebraska beats CU, I think it's their's to lose. Quote Link to comment
NamelessHusker Posted October 30, 2005 Author Share Posted October 30, 2005 Missouri lost the KU game as i predicted, but our loss to OU hasn't helped matters for a North Division title. Our chances are at 20% at best for a Big12 title game invite. We would need CU to beat Missouri, ISU to beat Colorado and we win out our remaining games. I don't know if we can win the 3 remaining games, and i also don't believe ISU will beat CU Quote Link to comment

skersfan Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I think we have 3 straight losses coming. We have no chance of being in the CCG and no reason to even think we deserve to be. Texas would put 100 on this team. Be careful of what you wish for. Quote Link to comment

Maybe, but don't forget Colorado's 2 losses are on the hands of 2 teams ranked in the top5 Quote Link to comment
NamelessHusker Posted November 3, 2005 Author Share Posted November 3, 2005 It would be nice if MU knocked off Colorado, then lost its last 2 games against Baylor and KSU while ISU also knocked off Colorado and NU won the remaining 3 games to reach the Big12 title game. I don't care if we get blown out. Reaching the Big12 title game is improvment over last year in my opinion. Either way, look for Colorado to win this game at home. Quote Link to comment
BigRedDallasTexan Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I feel terrible for saying it but I think the best thing that could happen is that we win the last 3 games, finish with a respectable record and go to a decent bowl game, while not winning the North. I don't want any part of Texas this year. Quote Link to comment
