You guys need to give your team a break and be patient.

Man, you guys are crazy but I like crazy. I’m going try and just post a whole response to everything I’ve read and maybe respond to single replies later. I’m not trying to troll, I’ve been following all your posts on this past week and how you responded to your team this week. I think most of you guys are over reacting to your loss to us. I’m just trying to reason to you guys that this loss isn’t going to be as bad as you think. Look, I can’t explain it anyway without it saying hur dur Missouri betta than that school near Boston or is it Amherst... (joke joke…am I allow to joke on this site?). We are and talent wise there is a huge gap.

I don’t know where the misconception is that Missouri football is bad. I think I read in one reply that it’s a crappy football program? Missouri won the SEC East in 2013 and 2014. The last decade, we have won over 10 games 5 times. Now, I didn’t get on here to tell you about our past accolades. It doesn’t matter November 1st 2017. We’re both trying to right the ship after a bad 2016 season. You have a new coach this year, we have a head coach in his 2nd year of head coaching ever. What I was trying to get at in this thread was most people on here are trashing your team because you believe Missouri was a terrible team. I’m just here to say that Missouri might be an anomaly. Reasons stated above.

Play Missouri in the beginning of the year (probably after South Carolina), UConn would have been in a shootout with Missouri…hell you might have won. I don’t think 2017 Missouri is as bad as everyone thinks they are. We’re just young on the defensive side of the ball, young head coach who made some mistakes, and lacking leadership from the senior class (a good amount from 2012-2013 class got booted or transferred). I thought this team was an 8-9 win team before the season started. That was based on talent. Adversity hit the football team and the lack of leadership derailed their season for a moment. Unfortunately for UConn is that Missouri is turning it around now.

I think your offense is good. You guys have been scoring a lot the past few games and at least you competed against all the team on the schedule, keeping it close on a good Memphis team. You moved the ball well against our defense and I believe you would have scored a lot on this defense if it was before our bye. I think all the hits your QB took earlier in the game took its toll on him. He started getting some happy feet knowing that the defensive front was going to get to him. Missouri couldn’t do that earlier in the season. I think its base on that the Beckner didn’t trust his knee and that AJ logan came back from suspension in turn taking up more blockers because he’s huge. Missouri’s secondary is still shaky so if he stayed in the pocket longer, he might have completed more passes and scored more points. I think the havoc rate for our defense that game was 20% which is big on those important downs.

Look, I know it feels like I’m coming in here and trying to gloat that my team is better than yours. I’m not. I’m just trying to give you guys an inside view on this Missouri team. Someone who know this team well for the past few years and why this team in terms of talent is better than 3-5 and that its not terrible as you think. It’s just finally getting it together but it hasn’t been consistent. Gary Pinkel would have had this team ranked right now. That’s just my own opinion. I believe that UConn is on the right track and you just need to believe in a head coach who has taken you guys to multiple bowl games.

To be fair, the majority here appreciate your posts. Don't let a minority sour your experience here.

Lock is a good one; hang 52 more on Florida please!

When even Nostical can see through this it may be time for some of you guys to reconsider your point of view.

This thread is an embarrassment and one of many reasons why I can't post or even read this board anymore. This loser was so open to dialogue that he hasn't posted anything since. Instead he's sitting back and laughing about gullible and idiotic our fanbase is.

Open the door and take a deep breath.

Yeah, I understand the minorities are usually the loudest though. Mizzou boards are the same. I believe you have an offense that can upset anyone. You had Memphis sweating for awhile. For a Coach that came back and turn around this offense of yours, I think you just need to patient and let him find the key missing pieces for your defense. I just think Mizzou is finally playing to its talents under a 2nd year first time head coach and hoped that the players here and the fan base doesnt lose confidence over this loss. SB Nation's Bill C had his numbers and thought that Temple was a 95% win expectancy. You guys proved that wrong because your head coaches have you guys going in the right direction.

Whaler, if you truly believe that Mizzou is the 7th best team on your schedule than I understand your frustration on the way UConn loss. I understand you're probably mad but that's why I signed up and wanted to post that I don't believe you guys have the right story on Mizzou. I think they are your 2nd best on your schedule and hopefully they can prove it to you in the next four weeks. Our issues is with inconsistency and maturity of this whole team. You can call me names and what not but I wish your team nothing but the best.
