THE DAILY FEED 7.17.11 // The Price of a Victory in College Football and Other News and Notes
The Price of a Victory in Big-time College Football - Black Heart Gold Pants A very interesting look at the role of money in college football. I was surprised to see how favorably the B10 compares to the SEC in this analysis. The discussion of the state of the Big East is also worth a look. What I...
'Dawgs by Decades: One Man's Odyssey as a Georgia Bulldogs Fan
(Author’s Note I: Originally, I had intended to publish this posting on Sunday, but, because I inadvertently touched off a small controversy in the meantime, I decided to delay this posting, out of fear that it would not be well received. I hope that series of minor misunderstandings will not...
1985: The Wagon De-Rails (Part Three)
For other seasons, go here. Part OnePart Two An inconsistent offense and a porous sieve of a defense. Not a good recipe for a first-year coach. After Mizzou's 0-5 start, Woody Widenhofer had no choice but to look to the future at a number of positions. The youth level was, by necessity, already...
I Miss Keith Jackson
Going through the archives of The Rivalry on this Sunday morning, I found a little piece on Michigan-Ohio State 1974, the game where the Michigan kicker missed the winning field goal. but might have made it, but instant replay was unavailable and what the hell it was 35 years ago. I mention...
1984: Bad Breaks, Key Mistakes, and a Tough Decision to Make (Part Three)
Part OnePart Two Where we last left the 1984 Tigers, they were holding on by a thread. Three last-second losses to good teams had left them with no margin for error. To qualify for a bowl, they would have to beat the two imminently beatable teams on the schedule--Iowa State and Kansas--at home...
1965: Pro talent, record crowds, and the man from Corpus Christi (Part One)
History just gets pared down, bit by bit, through the years, and it's a shame. Pretty much every Mizzou fan knows the Cliff's Notes version of Mizzou's football history: Pitchin' Paul Chrisman almost wins the Heisman, Don Faurot invents the Split-T, Faurot gets carried off the field, Mizzou almost...
ANY GIVEN FRIDAY: Bye, Bye
Welcome to ‘Any Given Friday’, where the divisional round of the playoffs is traditionally our favorite week of the season, where we can’t understand how a guy who just got fired from the Jets has a new job already while a guy who just interviewed for the Jets opening has been...
Rock M Roundtable!
1 - With the 2008 season in the books for Mizzou, what's the single lingering image you take away from this Tiger season? Doug, I bet I know what your answer is going to be...2 - What would have been a better finish for Missouri this season--beating OSU or Kansas and losing the Holiday Bowl to...
NFL.com's Jason Feller is seemingly a BIG Cowboys fan
NFL.com has an article up celebrating 15 years of free agency. I have a vague memory of the NFL prior to free agency, and I remember when it happened (allowing players like Keith Jackson to leave the team they were drafted to and sign with another). NFL.com's Jason Feeler pays tribute to free...
