WHAT I...
LIKE: Well it seemed as if the Tigers got back to the fundamentals of the game. You know the blocking, catching ,tackling, running etc. They came out smoking and didn't let up on the steam until the final whistle went off. Gabbert to Alexander for the touchdown, is my new saying. These two guys, off course with the help of the team, have shined on many occasions throughout this season. Alexander 10 rec 200 yds and 3 TD's IS one of the top wide-outs in the country. He continues to dominate and will leave his mark in MU history books. Of course with Alexander numbers, you have to give credit to the QB and O-Line for playing a solid game. The defense bounced back as well. As I stated before I think that the Tigers have a future in Aldon Smith at end, as well as a good ball player in Will Ebner at linebacker. The special teams was sound and solid, and as I know that's what any good coach is looking for at the least from its special team.
DISLIKE: When a team comes out and play a solid all around game, it's kind of hard for you to find something to dislike. I'm no hater by any means, so that mean it's kind of hard for me to dig for dirt and hate just to say that I disliked something about the game. I can say this, that the Tigers played a remarkable game, and what ever happened that I disliked, was over shadowed by my likes! Great Job Tigers!
SUGGEST: I'll say it again. Way to go Tigers! Build off this momentum and finish the season strong. With a even playing field in the Big 12 this season, only so many bowl games exist for only so many Big 12 teams. With almost all the teams having identical records, which are bowl eligible, the Tigers need to run the table and get the remaining of the wins on their schedule to be able to get a bowl game this year. Although Mizzou has a great advantage with fan support and a growing program, the bowl committee will still need to see WINS from MU for the rest of this season. MU goal is a bowl!

MU vs Baylor
WHAT I...
LIKE: Well it's kind of hard to like something about this game, when you lose to Baylor.....not to under mind Baylor, they played a great game, but come on Tiger's, Baylor? The offense came out fast and played well in the first half. I don't care what anybody say, I believe Blaine will only get better with Time, like wine! Don't lose faith in him just yet. Dude is a raw talent. As far as my mans D Alexander, like I have said numerous times, he is one of the top WR in the country. It's a saying "men lie, women lie, numbers don't"! D Alexander 13 rec 214 yd 2 TD! Great job DA!
DISLIKE: DEFENSE (clap clap) DEFENSE! Yes I'm rooting for the D, but I think they let the team down in this game. As a former defensive captain and defensive back, I was truly sadden by the play of the secondary. These guys are out there playing with NO confidence. As a former Post Dispatch Defensive Player of the Year, and being rated as one of the top defensive backs in the country coming out of high school, I can tell you a few secrets on how to be successful in the secondary, and it's really simple. Trust in your technic and have a whole lot of CONFIDENCE! My attitude was always a me against the world mentality, but it paid off on the field. The way Baylor ran through MU defense on Saturday should make the Tigers wish that next Saturday was today! The D should have a chip on their shoulders to where you not only want too, but DO pitch a shut out in next week's game. Challenge yourselves, it will only make you better! I also disliked the attitude of the coaches in this game. Yes it is true that it's the players job to go out on the field and execute and make plays, but it's the coaches job to light a fire under the players behind when he is failing to do so! And if he can't do so, have another player ready to go that can replace him.
SUGGEST: Um at this point, I think that MU back is against the wall. My suggestion is to come out and play every game like it's your last. Like you life depends on it. MU still has a chance to at least have a winning record, but they posses little room for error. I would like to see the coaches let their hair down a little bit and throw the kitchen sink and some at the remaining opponents. In football, being conservative won't get it. You gotta be aggressive in all facets. Let's turn the aggressiveness up!

MU vs Colorado
WHAT I....
LIKE: The Tigers came out smoking in this game! One reason for this I believe, is that they where playing a Colorado team that's in struggle mode right now, and who first team players could have easily been the Texas Longhorn scout team players.....I'm just saying. It was good to see MU get off to a fast start though. The team executed the fundamentals, and played hard enough to win. The offense came out with a bang, and D Alexander ( 8 rec 123 yds 2 TD's) continues to solidify himself as one of the top wideouts in the country! D Washington had a pretty good game, and provided a solid ground attack along with D Moore, to help the Tigers prevail. The Defense in my mind, played one of their best complete games of the season. These guys where running and hitting, and looked to be having fun. The defense is also the reason the Tigers were able to hold the Buffs off when the offense went cold in the 2nd half! I continue to be impressed by freshman D End Aldon Smith (5 tackles, 3 sacks, 1 fumble rec)! During my time playing with MU, I've played with and seen some other impressive Smith's that have dominated this position and went on to become solid NFL players as well as dominate college players ( Justin Smith & Brian Smith) ! Aldon is one to watch, and I expect big things from him the rest of the season and the remaining of his career at MU!
DISLIKE: I really don't have a lot to complain about. The only thing I disliked about this past Saturday game, was how the offense went flat in the second half. The Tiger's need to be aggressive the whole game. Remember fundamentals! MU scored 33 of its 36 points in the first half. That mean only 3 points in the second half, and by Coach P standards, that's unacceptable!
SUGGEST: Well I'm going to continue to say this until it resonate....FUNDAMENTALS! When you have as much talent as MU, the only thing that can stop you, is the the lack of preparation and not executing the FUNDAMENTALS of the game. MU's has a chance to finish out this season strong! Lets make that happen!

MU vs Nevada
WHAT I......
LIKE: The one thing that I continue to see from this Tiger team that continues to impress me is the fight and resilience they display, and as a former Pinkel troop, I can say this is a direct reflection of MU's head coach and the way he runs his program! The offense got off to a slow start, but made crucial plays that I felt got the offense going. Gabbert once again displayed that he will be a force to be reckon with this season and beyond. I think that Perry and Alexander are becoming a dual threat in MU's receiver core. I look forward to seeing what else they have to offer as the season goes on, and they come up against better competition. Kendial Lawrence is also someone I expect to become a small but crucial part of the MU offense. Kendial is just a freshman, but I think he is one of those special freshman, if you know what I mean! The defense was OK. See I'm a defensive minded guy, so my attitude is to not give up any yards or points at all. They had some big hits, and stops when it mattered. I like how the guys are aggressive sometime, and how they continue to gel together as a unit. Special teams did their job!
DISLIKE: The thing that I didn't like about the offense was the slow start. With the better teams, which we are now facing, we gotta come out of the locker room smoking. It has to be dominate from the start. That goes for both the offense, D-fense and special teams! As a former captain, my biggest objective on game day, was to get the troops fired up from the start, rather it be by my vocal leadership, or my actions on the field going hard. This is what we need from snap one, from all facets of the game! I also want to see the D tighten up and become ummmmm, a bit more reckless. That's what's Defense is all about, being reckless right?..lol
SUGGEST: You may have herd it a few times in this article already, but my suggest is simple, keep doing what you do, but START FAST AND FISNISH STRONG!

MU vs ILL
What I…..
LIKE: After watching the MU game this past Saturday I can tell you that there are a lot of things that I like. Of course I can start out by saying I like the win, which is obvious, but the thing that I liked the most about Saturday game, is how coach Pinkel had the guys playing team ball. To me, every aspect of the team was working well, offense, defense and special teams. I’m impressed by Blain Gabbert (319 yds & 3 TD’s + 1 rushing TD) and the way he lead his soldiers up and down the field against the Illini. D Alexander 10 rec 132 yds, J Perry was just shy of a 100 yds receiving, and displayed his separation speed on a 46 yd td run on a screen pass. Overall the offense was on fire, and deserve 2 thumbs up from me and the entire planet..lol! Now I really want to take my hat off to Coach Steck and the DEFENSE. I’ve been telling folks all off season that if the defense takes on the attitude of coach Steck and the efforts of Sean Witherspoon (their leader), that we will have a fun defense to watch. As they showed on Saturday against Illinois we will have a defense that if they continue to be better each week, will be one of the reason you will see MU enjoying another bowl season!
DISLIKE: What I dislike is something that may be personal for me. As a former cornerback for the Tigers, I would say that the only thing that I continue to see that I would like for the Tigers to approve on is more aggressive play by the corners. We need to stop giving up the 8-10 yd curl routes so much! I seen this done to easy on Saturday and although the DB’s didn’t give up any huge plays, I still think that we should be more aggressive on the corners, which I think will only elevate the play on the defense. As far as the offense, I don’t like how folks (yes the crowd and other reporters) where dogging the Tigers running game. I think that they did well and D Washington only had 14 carries for 61 yds (4.4 yard avg)….that’s a good stat to me.
SUGGEST: I suggest that the Tigers continue to do what they do, and grow as a team. Continue to follow the leadership of your coaches and chosen leaders (captains) of your team. I’m excited and can’t wait to see the Tigers in action next week. Also to the fans, I suggest that we bring back the roar of the MIZ-ZOU, it was kind of weak on Saturday!
LATER: Until next week folks, that’s all I have and I look forward to the Tigers next contest against Bowling Green! When I was playing for the Tigers (I was out that year though on IR), we where killed by Bowling Green…so you know I’m really looking forward to my Tigers to roll over BG!
