^Dog Gone. They call him the German Shepard of the Hills.
Ladies and Gentlemen as a reminder, please keep your hands feet and arms inside the train at all times as we are entering rattlesnake territory, why just the other day a 200lb Rattleheadedcoppermoccasin jumped up and grabbed a lady by the arm and pulled her off the train. We haven't seen her or the snake ever since, but we've seen her husband. Yep, just the other day I saw him down at the Silver Dollar Saloon buying rounds of rootbeer drinks for everyone singing "Happy Days are Here Again"

It's all politics -- and who will bring in the most money for the bowl.
Who do you think will travel better? Ohio State fans or Boise State fans. The answer to that is rather "duh"
I'm not happy we got stuck with the Alamo Bowl, but at least Mizzou got one.

^Icabod Peabody drove an engine too fast around that far corner once and wrecked the engine... but that's ok we dusted him off and liquored him up and he is back driving the train again.
Hey Icabod if you are up there give me 3 toots on the whistle *toot* toot*
Icabod I said 3! He was never very good with numbers, why just the other day I asked "hey Icabod what's 2 + 2" He told me 4 -- see what I mean! I mean everyone knows that 3 + 1 is 4.

^well did you side when that particular skirmish? That was what she meant.
7. After looking at a sign for Lost River that says YOU WILL GET SOAKED for several minutes, the lady turns to me and asks, "do you know if you get wet on this ride?"

First off, this is not Pinkel's fault. He felt that he had the best players that he had on the roster in those positions. At the same time there is a trickle down effect. The assistant coaches, especially on defense got way too comfortable with the offense always bailing them out every game. That clearly was not the way to win ball games especially when you run into other high powered offenses.
Missouri had the 117 ranked pass defense in the NCAA. If you did not know, that means Missouri is dead last. However, the silver lining to that is the fact that the highest ranked pass defense in the Big XII was 98th and I think it was Colorado.
sdcforever, you mentioned that we are losing so many talented players after this season. I say that is not the case. We returned almost our entire defense and we saw that made no difference. It was a SENIOR who blew his coverage and cost us the game against kU, and on Saturday the SENIORS were the ones that were constantly getting burnt on defense. On Offense, we are losing Daniel and Coffmann for sure. While we will miss Coffmann, we have a lot of talent in the wings waiting to come on stage. We will miss Wolfert as well, but his head has not been on right here lately as he thinks he is cursed or something. Daniel is a ticking time bomb and it is very obvious he can no longer get the job done. Gabbert has proven that he can march his team down the field and we have an excellent recruiting class coming in.
Missouri next year
vs. Illinois (W)
vs. Bowling Green (W)
@ Nevada (W)
vs. Nebraska (W) -- they too are losing a lot after this season, but they still may win North
@ Oklahoma State (?) -- OSU is losing a lot of their key players, but this is in Stillwater
vs. Texas (L) -- even without Colt, Texas wins this one
@ Colorado (W) -- too much animosity on this team to win for now
vs. Baylor (W) -- I give Baylor two more years before they "break out"
@ K-State (W) -- It is going to take Snyder more than a year to "fix" this team
vs. Iowa State (W) -- this game is going to be closer than some think
vs. Kansas (?) -- could go either way

^True banks are skiddish, but let's be realistic -- this is the Herschends we are talking about. The Herschends are basically the "Disneys" of the Ozarks.
I think the real issue (and they admitted on Saturday it was not ALL the economy's fault for the reason they are delaying the expansions) is the fact that the parking lot expansions went over budget big time and they are not even close to being finished with them. The new lot to the West of Lot C is still being constructed. A/C (now known as B) is still being filled in, and the list goes on.

From what I have been hearing there is a lot of animosity on the team right now -- between players and other players and also between the players and coaches... this is not the time for stuff like this to be happening.
Chase Daniel has looked like crap the last two games ... and actually I will say he has played like crap ever since the Buffalo game. I'm not sure if the boy was busy believing his own press or what, but he is not the same player that he was last year.
I sure hope we do something about our defense before next year.

It is on the Northwest wall of the Mine Restaurant facing Hannah's -- to the north of the covered entrance to the restaurant. In fact if you walk up the step there on the north of the restaurant to the entrance and look left you will see it.
