man I wish we could play MU again

[fro daddy]

MU returns an awful lot. And the all finesse thing is BS. Just because they take the ball from the shotgun and throw doesnt mean they dont smack you around. I saw plenty of your LB's and DB's on their rear ends during our game

No, it's not BS. Why do you think Mizzou gets throttled every time they play a team that is faster and more physical than them? When an opposing defense can f#*k up the timing of the offense, Chase goes into the fetal position and starts blaming his linemen.

Name the times that has happened. Against OU and Texas?? All that proves is their O and D lines are better than both of MU's. they got beat by better teams. What is the shame in that. If you are all finesse then a lesser team can punch you in the mouth and take the victory. That has NOT happened. Besides if Mu is finesse what does that make NU since they slapped them all over the field. Like I said, MU ran over, by and around NU.

I would like to hear your answer since I sure you think they can beat MU now.

Jeez dude, take a deep breath. Nobody has even come close to making that argument. The whole reason this thread got started was because "MU ran over, by, and around NU." Congratulations. For the first time in your lifespan, Missouri is objectively better than Nebraska in every aspect of the game. It's not even debatable. You guys are coming up on a huge rivalry game and an appearance in the Big XII Championship Game. And you've just spent a good portion of your afternoon arguing with us about whether or not Nebraska has improved since early October.

Oh, and way to beat Baylor by 3 points. I guess even those powerful, defensive minded teams struggle sometimes. Give me a break.

cause the box score tells the whole story.... I atleast watch/listen/follow the games and teams i comment on

Oh, I'm sure that game winning field goal by Wolfert with under 3 minutes left isn't indicative of the true a$$ whooping that Missouri put on Baylor. Getting outscored 14-0 in the 3rd quarter was obviously part of their game plan.

No but being on the 3yrd line ready to go 21-0 still in the first quarter can have an effect. like your team acting like the game was over and letting a team get back in it because of your sloppy play. MU came out, smoked them then packed it in. And it all most cost um. They (the players) admitted the overlooked them and when the game started the way it did they packed it in. I would like to see THEM play again so Mu could smoke them and you would be quite. :lol:

BTW you have a LOT of room to talk trailing at half. Good thing griffin jacked his ankle up huh.

Baylor was 0-10 on 3rd down conversions in the Nebraska game. I will not be "quite."

Cy you never let me know if you were working the game saturday

Yep...I was over on your side. I was the huge, hulking fellow assigned to the chains...the real handsome one! I had to give my yard marker up to some old fat guy....I think he was a team donor or something. After watching him huff and puff his way around the sideline, he looked more like he was WAITING for a donor... <_< That's okay though...still the best seat in the house.

Right after the game, took off to watch the BB game. ISU may not know how to play sports but they do a pretty good job of scheduling them...

left or right side from the stands. I was looking thinking to myself "I wonder if one of those guys is CY? And which one would he be?" To think, I came sooooooo close to meeting the man himself and missing out.

Cy some of that is more than a little decieving. Considering Iowa St when for it on 4th down 3 time and 3 times they turned it over on downs. So to say they punted once is true, but doesnt tell the whole story. The avg runs looks good until you realize that it came when MU was up big and dropped in zone coverage. When Iowa St had to run on short yardage, they couldn't. St. rarely threw the ball further than 4 -5 yrds down field. they used bubble and quick screens the whole night. There were some bigger passes they threw, but the avg attempt went for 6 yrds. Not exactly shreding the middle of the field at 10-12 a pop. THe main thing is MU gives up a ton of yrds. They are like 7th or 8th in total D in the big 12. But they are 3rd in D scoring. They give up a ton and plays and yards, not many scores. (iowa st. had 77 plays saturday) This game was never close. It was over when the MU buses showed up in Ames.

I dont really think that NU's D line has improved that much, they have just played the worst big 12 teams in sacks allowed and tackles for loss over the past 2 weeks. (9 of their 21 sacks on the season have come the last two weeks) NU has ZERO sacks against the 3 best teams they played. OU, TT & MU. BTW the only team D. Washington shreaded as much as Iowa St with his 11 carries for 128 yrs, was NE where he went for 139 on 14.

Plus you made one very key point. The NU secondary still sucks. Mu would score as easily and more often since everyone seems to agree NU would score more this time. Instead of playing the 4th quarter with backups, including the last 7 mins on the game with 3rd stringers, Mu would have hung another 14-21 pts on the board and left with 66-73 pts total.

I agree the game will be closer. But still a fairly easy win for MU. Atleast 14 pts. Probably more in the 21-24 range.

so then how much do you expect to beat KU by? 40?

I think about 21 pt game. It is all about match ups. I think the rivalry part means it will be a little closer. But if your looking for some justification about "well since NU beat Ku buy 10 and MU beat NU by 35 then MU will beat KU by 45" You KNOW it doesnt work that way. Each game is different, teams match up differently, and for a lack of better terms, s**t happens.

I see the improvement in NU offence. They are more balanced in their play calling and it seems over the last 2 weeks your offensive Cord. has learned he doesnt need to run the same 10 plays to open every game. I think NU would score more, but not keeping MU from scoring will not close the gap. When I said 21-24 pt range, that is 11-14 pts better NU's way. I think some like 52-31 is realistic dont you think...

no, I dont. keep in mind we pounded KU....the score was misleading if not for some crazy breaks, that game could have gotten out of hand quickly. I'm not sure I buy that matchups thing either since they are so similar to us. to me if we played again it would be a 1-2 touchdown game... with neither team showing much D. if you guys got some TO's it would be more, if we got them it would be closer. I have no doubt in my mind if we played the same way we did against t-tech you guys would be going home with an L. they are basically a better version of you guys. that being said I think the chances of us pulling out another game like that is about 5%

I wouldn't say you pounded KU. KU was winning 21-17 in the 3rd.

quiet!!!!! :clap

it wasnt the 5-13 on third for Baylor, it was the 4-4 on fourth that hurt. Did MU play well. NO they didn't. Did they pack it in agaist a conference team on the road. yes they did. Did win a game alot of teams would have lost, including MU not to many years ago, Yeah. I will not appoligize for MU winning. They played poorly, gave up ponts with Ints in the endzone. Didnt tackle well. Lost contain on 4th downs. Sleep walked through most of the game. WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT FROM ME????

P.S. they won the game :clap

Captain you make me want to reach for another type of Captain...... :wasted

 

[JGS30]

Texas pounded Missouri and Texas Tech pounded Kansas.

Nebraska did not pound Kansas. They beat Kansas. There. Now we can be friends again.

 

[melscott62]

Before I imagine what would happen in games that will never be played, I'd like to see Nebraska beat Colorado.

What a concept. :clap I applaude you GUY :clap

This thing feels like it could go to next october.... <_<

I do not feel like CU will give us any idea as to how far we have progressed. we should smoke them. I'm not so sure we will see that in a bowl game either. MU is clearly a better team than us, but if we could play them close it would say a lot for the teams progress

thanks to turnovers by both lucky and swift(both are super rare.....esp lucky) both lines were pretty dominant.

Ive never had a speling errer in long history of make GBR on this bored.

 

[TrueMizzou]

Well, NU will have an inexperienced QB next year. We lose what 2 or 3 OL? We lose Lucky in the backfield along with Ganz. We lose our top 2 receivers. Next year's North division could very well be a tossup. There's no reason to think Mizzou won't be in that tossup.

I have said a number on time on this board that exact same thing. I even said (almost got sick there) that KU should be the favorite based on what they return. I just wont sit here and take a jab about how MU is going down based on what we lose when NU loses just as much if not more.

Look at the quality of talent MU is losing next year. Think about it real had, and then tell me NU is losing just as much, if not more.

NU loses some experience on offense, but they seem to be gaining athleticism. And I'd take the Nebraska defensive line over anybody's in the North. And like I said, the corners and safeties have nowhere to go but up right now.

Nobody said NE is losing as much talent as Mizzou. Let's just say for the point of discussion that Mizzou will lose more between now and next season. In absolute terms, I think they will. That said, I still think think this year's squad is good enough to survive a significant loss and still remain competitive in the North. Not dominant, but competitive.

On the other hand, Nebraska is not in a position to weather anything more than a minimal loss of talent. In other words, a $5 loss for a man with $50 to his name hurts a lot more than a $1000 loss for a millionaire.

That's not to say that Mizzou has a top-flight football program, 'cause they don't. We had our chance to show some chops against Okie Lite and UT but didn't get it done. While I'm still very bitter about those losses, I'm hoping they'll step up over the course of these next three games and show me something I still haven't seen this season - true character and resilience against a quality team.

I'd also like to respectfully remind everyone here that when it comes to the North, MU's the only show in town right now. Next season might be a different story, but these last two seasons have been ours.

I personally don't think that's saying much, as the North is down. Way down. And though you might think the Huskers are now or will soon be in a position to challenge us, the fact is you got your pants pulled down around your ankles on October 4th, on national TV no less. You're going to have to wait until next year to show that things have changed. Speculation is folly. There's no point in talking about a re-match. Anymore than there's any point in talking about a fifth down in 1990, or 'the kick' of 1997.

It's done, it's over. The future is all that matters.

If there's one thing I've learned as a Mizzou grad, it's how to accept reality. Brutal as it can sometimes be.

I just wish the melvins among you could be as objective about your school's program as I try to be about mine. A lot of you are, but the homers need to either step away from the keyboard or get a clue. It'd make for much more interesting reading.

Peace out...
