Jack Arute just said Mizzou have FIFTY SEVEN scripted plays and aren't deviating from them....wtf?

There's a dad living vicariously

[Evan]

Maclin and Daniels both look [censored]ed off about something, maybe the hurryup was stopped by an injury? dunno

[Evan]

NW D holds 'em to 3

[Evan]

f me...NW tries to get tricky and loses 9

[rocketman]

NU trying to get cute on a pass out of a reverse and gets blown up. Sutton then does his best Beanie impression (repping Akron) and gets all 19 back on the ground.

Mizzou then commits PI...

[Evan]

announcer still clueless. screen gets 18 yards back, but it's still 3rd and 1 but he's giving them the first down even though it's clearly short.

Someone needs to tell Ron Franklin to watch the game in front of him.

Wow. You just think of that yourself?

This Big 12 defense we're seeing tonight is definitely exhibit A.

[Evan]

3rd offsides on the mizzou D...same guy for at least 2 of them

[rocketman]

Holy [censored]ing [censored] I could start on defense for Mizzou. They lined up offsides again! At least I know where the [censored]ing line of scrimmage is!

3rd offsides on Mizzou... this time coming on a failed 3rd down and goal conversion.


The pac-10 called, they want their style of football back.

What, you mean Ross Lane didn't turn gold into a 2 yard gain?

the second offsides penalty took the cake... immediately following a crushing penalty (lining up offsides erasing a fumble recovery), he lines up offsides. But he doesn't stop there, he jumps offsides as well.

Been wondering that for awhile.

When does "great offense" equal crappy defense?

and a Hi Howdy to you too. I've heard plenty of blow hards spout lots of B.S. (i.e. the Big 10 is slow), but that doesn't make it true. You need real out of conference examples to back it up. This game will be exhibit A if the game plays out like this...but then we all know that Mizzou doesn't match up to Oklahoma or Texas...so we still don't know if that will hold true for the "elite" Big12 teams.

My intent wasn't to [censored] in your cheerios...but nobody forced you to eat them.
