I know it's only a preseason game, but it's great to see football back. Who are you thinking is going to win it all this season?
If we're talking about NFL...Pittsburgh.
Mizzou had their Fan Appreciation Autograph Day today at Faurot Field -- it was nice to be back inside the stadium. Sept 12th's opening home game can't get here soon enough.
Go MU!!!!! And my DII team UCM!!!!....... Can't wait to see how well the Vikings and Bengals do also....... Go Percy Harvin and Chase Coffman.
What a great job by the punter...he really sold the handoff. That is going to be the greatest highlight of that guys career.
Fan appreciation day at Faurot was great. We always make an effort to the the signatures of all the young guys who may not have as much attention but my 3yo doesn't know the difference. She told the back up QBs that she can throw the ball all the way across the yard. And asked if Truman can be her best friend. Can't wait for the season to get here.
CJ-I am a huge Coffman fan, seriously I love that guy. He will be starting and I hope to see him make an impact.
I'm glad Chase went to the Bengals cuz they needed a good TE
Have you seen any HBO Hard Knocks. Coffman is getting a ton of air time.
Also, the MU season tickets are supposed to be mailed out within the week. Can't wait!!
Haven't seen anything on HBO...... can't afford it; but i sure wish i could.
Arch Rivalry game this afternoon--Mizzou vs. Illinois at the Dome. My sentimental pick is Mizzou, but I think Illinois might finally pull off a victory. A lot hinges on how Gabbert plays in his first start. I also think Juice might run wild for the Illini.
As for Missouri's NFL teams, I think it's going to be a long year for both the Chiefs and Rams. :-[
M - I - Z !!!
Hogs did quite a number on Mo. State, but the thing that really made my day was seeing OU get beaten by BYU, in Norman!
Yeah, hi. The game was in Arlington, TX at the new Dallas Cowboy's stadium -- not in Norman.
^It was practically a home game. Certainly not close enough to Utah to be considered an advantage for BYU.
It was OU that gave up playing the game in Norman, so they could get a game in Dallas which is a HUGE recruiting area for OU, UT, and MIZZOU (Dallas is the 2nd largest chapter of the Mizzou Alumni Assoc.)
Well, the first week of the NFL season is over (except for the two games tonight). It was an UGLY first week for both of Missouri's NFL teams; I don't think I need go into anymore detail than that. :-[

Being IN Norman and being "PRACTICALLY A HOME GAME" are two different things.
If it had actually been in Norman, I'm sure OU would have won the game.

I'll give you that. I still think it would've been close, but the hostile crowd in Norman would've been loud and disruptive.
Wow, this was a bad 0-fer weekend for Missouri football teams! Mizzou, KC, and St. Louis lost by an average score of 40-6! :o
Not that it's a compliment, but it appears the Chiefs are slightly better than the Rams. The Rams are losing by an average score of 30-9, while the Chiefs are losing by an average score of 26-15. ::)
