All The Sooner Fans

Mizzou vs. Furman Highlights

Gabbert, Danario and Perry were simply amazing. It was nice to see Kendial and Moye get some good runs out there, too.

Mizzou vs. Bowling Green Highlights

It wasn't easy. It wasn't pretty. In fact, it was pretty scary. But they got it done, and while it may not mean anything Blaine Gabbert has already done something as a starter that Chase Daniel never did: win a game with a 4th quarter comeback. (We're just going to ignore the ISU game of Daniel's frosh season so that this sounds more impressive.)

Mizzou vs. Illinois Highlights

Really couldn't have asked for a better start to 2009. So many questions immediately put to rest, so many doubters immediately shushed, so many seats filled on the bandwagon. Same ol', same ol. Mizzou beats Illinois in football. Stop the presses.

I've done fairly well with my picks over the last 2 seasons, but I think part of that is because the last 2 seasons have been pretty easy to pick.  I got the order of the Big XII North exactly right last year, and only had Texas and Texas Tech transposed in the South last year so I lost that one by tie-breaker (I did correctly pick Tech to beat Texas, at least).

So, to officially put myself up against the likes of Phil Steele, here's how I see the Big XII season going (after the jump, of course).

Bad News

Like I said, I wouldn't wish an injury on any NFL player...ESPECIALLY not one of our best!

Good luck to Willy Mo on a speedy recovery.  Hopefully the timeline is short, the recovery is full, and the starting job is still open.

It appears they may have no choice.

While I certainly would never wish for any players in the NFL to get hurt, I'm not going to lie and say I'm not excited about Coffman getting a fast-track into the starting lineup.  The earlier that he can prove he's among the elite pass catchers in the NFL, the sooner he starts his trek to Canton.

This is according to fellow SBNation site, Arrowhead Pride, and goes into detail about potential problems with new KC head coach Todd Hailey.  And actually, if you want to get technical, it's all according to 610 AM in KC.

The full article can be found here.

I knew Copter would get another shot, because he's just got too much potential.  So now he'll go up and be a potential target for Matt Stafford in all likelihood.  I guess I don't care if a coach is going to be tough with players or not, but there's a pretty major difference between being tough and being a fucking asshole.  Why single out Franklin?  How about you go make an example of Larry Johnson, or a WR that was brought in as a free agent and hasn't done anything (Devard Darling) in more than a single season on a team that sucked, had no passing game, and he was hurt for most of?

Bah.

Links to pictures of them in a store

A poster on Tigerboard has taken pictures of gold #10 jerseys hanging in a store in Harrisonville, MO, giving more legs than ever before to the theory that we're coming out in either all gold on Saturday, or at least Gold shirts and Black pants.

I truthfully don't care, but what I don't want is for this to be an issue at all.  Daniel had his worst game of the year while wearing #25, so that became an excuse.  If we for any reason struggle against kansas on Saturday, you won't be able to keep track of all the people who will say it's because we were wearing gold jerseys.

I'm not sure a gold and gold look is what we should be going for, honestly, but gold jerseys and black pants might look pretty cool.  And at least with gold jerseys for sale, this will help with our "all gold" look for the fans.  As one who is quite comfortable wearing a jersey to a sporting event, this might be an answer to a question for me.
