WHAT I…..
LIKE: Ummmmmmmmmmmmm…ok I got one…..I like how the Zou (Mizzou Stadium) packed in 70k plus to see the game! That’s a winner for the Tigers!
DISLIKE: To be honest, I can say that I disliked the whole game. To me it seemed as if the Tigers just laid down for Texas. Trust me I can see this quickly when this happens. I experienced this first hand when I was a player. Guys who would not be ready to play in a big game and it shows on the field. It’s a variety of reasons why guys are not ready to play, their own mental preparations, lack of physical preparations or fear of the opponent. Now I can say that I’ve seen all three of them in my life time with the Tigers, but I can point out that I seen lack of mental preparation and fear of the opponent from the Tigers in this game. Not to make excuses for coach P, but I know that he had the boys physically prepared. There is no need to ring the alarm for Coach Pinkel to fire his coordinators and get more 4 and 5 star recruits, although I do agree with the 4 and 5 star recruit cry, but Mizzou has a team that if it comes out and plays hard for 4 quarters while executing the fundamentals, can compete with the best of them. I’m speaking from facts, not fiction.
SUGGEST: I suggest that the Tigers get back to the fundamentals of the game. Blocking, tackling, catching, gap control, leverage etc. If the guys get back to this, and do these things well and have more will then the guys they are playing against, then the Tigers will end up with a pretty good record, even if they have lost three straight. The Tigers still got a chance to win the north, but it’s going to be a fight and they must win every game from here on out. Let’s go coach P, get the boys going again. Get back to the basics, execute and have fun!

MU vs Oklahoma St.
WHAT I.....
LIKE: Well I can say that the Tigers came out swinging this game. The defense was playing pretty good, the offense was smoking and the special teams where sound. Denario Alexander showed the nation that he is in my opinion one of the best receivers going in the country.....9 recs 180 yds 1 TD! Now that's production. Gabbert had a pretty good day to 22 of 44 for 325 yds...BUT I'll tell you in the dislike section about that BUT! Overall, I seen a pretty good Tiger team in the first half of the game, BUT...oops there goes that BUT again, so lets just go the DISLIKES!
DISLIKE: OK I disliked the whole 2nd half. It was like night and day with MU. Blaine with the 3 INTs, the first BUT and then a complete team meltdown in my opinion, the second BUT! To me, it seemed like an adjustment issue. OSU seem to have stole MU playbook or something. Some folks say that the Tigers can't adjust, but to me it all comes down to execution of the play, no matter if the other team knows the play or not. In the end, the whole OSU team and staff had more will. The Tigers gotta go hard for 4 quarters and some.....take it to the house!
SUGGEST: Come out smoking, end smoking! Stick to the fundamentals for 4 quarters of the game, blocking, tackling, execution, gap control, keep leverage...you know the basics. I know that they know these things, because Coach Pinkel emphasis them. I also know that the Tigers will be alright, because Coach Pinkle with lead them. Till next time!

MU vs Nebraska
WHAT I....
LIKE: Well there wasn’t too much that I liked about this game. The team started and finished slow. The defense played well for 3 quarters, but didn’t when it really mattered.
DISLIKE: My first worry, which played into my prediction, was if the Tigers come out slow as a team that they will lose. No I wasn’t wishing bad luck on my Tigers, I was just being honest as a guy who have been there and done that. Yes sometimes you can get away with starting slow as a team on less stellar opponents, but when you play good teams such as Nebraska, you have to come out smoking. I was disappointed in the offensive play calling. At times it seems as if the O coordinator was nervous up in the booth. To me it looks like they compressed their game plan, to help out Nebraska. The offense had a chance to play defense in this game and help the team when. What I mean by that, is when the Tigers where up 9-0 going into the 4th quarter, the offense should have been running the ball to kill the clock and control the tempo of the game, especially when you have a one legged quarterback at the helm. The O line disappointed me, in not being able to control the line of scrimmage. Just to be honest with you, I think that they where man handled by the Huskers d-line. The Tigers running game was absent at best. D Washington seems to be just a step slow on all of his running plays. I don’t know if it was the weather or what, but the run game was smothered. Defensively, the Tigers played good for 3 quarters, but collapsed when they where really needed. For three quarters, I saw a team that was running and hitting and totally shutting Nebraska down. But once the 4th quarter rolled in, the D-fense rolled out. It seemed like a totally different team out there playing. Giving up big plays, 27 points in like a 5 minute span. That’s just unacceptable. Although the D played well for three quarters, in the game of football, it’s not about how and where you started, but how and where you finish!
SUGGEST: It’s simple, shake it off and move on. The Tigers have two big games coming up with no time in between to pout and dwell on this lost. You know the saying, it is what it is. Learn from this game and continue to grow as a team. Learn how to start fast and finish strong. Football is a 4 quarter game, and with the remainder of MU schedule, they will have to play each team from quarter 1through 4! Learn how to do that as a TEAM!
