Big 12 commissioner worried Insight will pass on Missouri
I don't disagree, but I think you'd then have to eliminate some bowls or there wouldn't be enough eligible teams for all the bowls. And it seems that every year there're more bowls - the Yankee Bowl is starting up next year. I know a lot of people think there are too many bowls. In theory, I... -

Big 12 commissioner worried Insight will pass on Missouri
I'm not crying and agree that the commissioner should stay out of it. I think it's fair for me to feel slighted though considering the ratings and attendance Mizzou has mustered the last four years or so. You can feel slighted too. -

Latest from Insight (Tony Alba)
I think the Insight contract was just renewed and, in fact, Insight will have the fourth pick of teams next year and going forward. If they pick Mizzou, it'll probably just be because they think it's a better choice. -

Big 12 commissioner worried Insight will pass on Missouri
Before last week the Cotton was talking to Mizzou thinking Okie State would beat OU and go to a BCS game. They weren't going to take NU if UT blew them out at the same stadium of the bowl game or TT because they played there last year. Mizzou put 35,000 in the seats two years ago against... -

Big 12 commissioner worried Insight will pass on Missouri
I guess I'm okay with whatever bowl Mizzou gets. It's a crazy system not related to success on the field, so whatever. Out of my hands. It is odd, though, that Mizzou has travelled well the last four years to bowl games, it averaged more than 64,000 at home games, and the Arrowhead game saw... -

ISU/Mizzou replay tonight!
That play was genius. I was at the game and couldn't figure out how it was legal because a guy numbered 50-79 can't catch a pass. After seeing the replay, though, I figured it out. I seriously don't think I've ever seen that play. I've watched a lot of football. I cut the Tigers a bunch of... -

ISU/Mizzou replay tonight!
They're pretty bad. I bet Mike Kelly, the play by play guy, hates these shows because it just highlights his misinformation. -

Is there still a chance we play Auburn?
I, for one, would love to see that matchup. Aside from the Rhoads/Chizik angle, sounds like a fun matchup. ISU would run the ball well and keep the ball from the Auburn offense, which is pretty good thanks to Malzhan. Auburn's defense has taken a pretty big step back without Rhoads -- it'd be... -

Mizzou Post-Mortem
Melvin, thanks. The extra practice is huge for a new coach - Rhoads will get the most out of it. we, I hope you're right. As a Tiger fan, I expect the worse for the most part. I entered undergrad in '89, the first year of Bob Stull, so I've known a lot of losing. It's embedded in my... -

Mizzou Post-Mortem
I know a handful of you don't care for my writing and believe my Mizzou blog should be less Mizzou-centric, but I also know that a few hundred of you came over to have a look at the ISU pieces I wrote last week. So, here's the post-mortem on the game. Barking Carnival — Blog — Mizzou/ISU... -

MU v. ISU - Atomic Teeth
I have to use "we." It's a homer blog. I never said it wasn't. That's part of the fun. What is this, journalism class? -

MU v. ISU - Atomic Teeth
Seriously? I am writing for fun - I will use "giant arm" when explaining that Gabbert throws deep all the time from now until I die. Anyway, your suggestions doesn't even explain anything (is the ability good or bad, his ability to do what?). I am not a journalist for pete's sake. I was in a... -

MU v. ISU - Atomic Teeth
That won't be a problem. There are always a lot of people selling tickets outside the tunnel leading into the stadium. If you're there around game time, you should be able to get tickets for face value or a little less. -

MU v. ISU - Atomic Teeth
What's a serious blogger? People seem to take me seriously. Way more seriously than I take myself. I don't even know what you're getting worked up about. To take them one by one, Blaine's giant arm is useful in getting big plays. How is that wrong? He throws the ball deep a lot... -

MU v. ISU - Atomic Teeth
I use only conference game stats, so the Iowa game isn't there to remove. It's customary to account for outliers. A +8 T/O game is an outlier - I'm not saying ISU didn't deserve that and is not capable of taking the ball away plenty. Just noting the outlier. -

MU v. ISU - Atomic Teeth
Juice Williams and Colin Kapernick. I'd say Mizzou's crowning achievement in rush defense is holding Nevada to 200 yards. They average 350 and their top three runners average more than 7 yards/carry. Juice and Colin were pretty well contained. That's good point though - Austen does bring... -

MU v. ISU - Atomic Teeth
I was giving DMR too much credit, huh? That's funny. I thought about making fun of the "score more points" comment, comparing it to Mizzou's color commentator who is known for obvious statements, but decided it was clearly not what DMR meant. I don't know Roger Sprague. Who is he? -

MU v. ISU - Atomic Teeth
As promised, I've posted a somewhat statistical look, somewhat subjective look at this game on my site. It's pretty dimwitted, if I do say so myself. Barking Carnival — Blog — Mizzou v. Cyclones - STMP I'm still pretty confident that Mizzou will move the ball well. Most of Mizzou's... -

ISU - '08 v'09
Mizzou's offense is terrible in the red zone. Sorry, I was unclear. Defense is normal there (well, give up lots of FGs). Mizzou's offense only scored a TD 43% of the times in the red zone - last in the Big 12 and 108th in the country. Luckily, the kicker is money. And, luckily, Mizzou has... -

ISU - '08 v'09
NU was in the red zone 4 times and scored only once. Same with CU. The odd thing is that ISU has allowed only one FG in the red zone in conference play. Well, I think that's odd. So, opponents have been in the red zone 26 times, scored 16 TDs, and 1 FG. Compare that to Mizzou -...
