Eric
David Yost is mildly retarded and can’t seem to figure out a way to get his running backs the ball consistently. Blaine Gabbert is an overrated quarterback who panics under pressure, has happy feet, and creates pressure when there isn’t any. MU will finish second in the north, win 8 games, and do nothing special. It’s nice. It’s better than where they’ve been for most of the last 30 years. But it’s not nearly scratching the surface of their potential as a football program.
Dan Dan
I believe Missouri played San Diego State…
___
GH: Total brain fart. Thanks for the fix, DD.
Mr.X
I thought us KC Husker fans were out of time out this week. Nothing relevant being said/written about the Huskers trouncing Washington?
___
GH: Huskers get their own OTC this week. Stay tuned.
Bill
No mention of Nebraska this week Greg? I thought since we were playing a real team in your eyes, we would get some commentary.
Also Moe’s TD should have been brought back for a clip. Whatever though. I hope they keep winning, only makes it better when NU works them in Lincoln.
___
GH: I watched the Moe catch/block/run a number of times and while it looks like MU’s downfield receiver comes back to clip the two SDS defenders, I think what happened was the two men in black ran into each other, springing Moe. The Mizzou receiver actually stops before contact to avoid the clip. Even the SDS head coach said his guys ran into each other.
Mike DeArmond
Greg,
Thank you very much for your kind words. However, while
Tracey Ringolsby tried to leave me a pair of his when he left The Star forever ago, I have never owned a pair of cowboy boots. I was wearing black sneakers. And they are, as I am, weathered with age. Again, thanks.
Ptolemy
To the Nebraska fans, GH is practicing for next year’s (and thereafter) OTC’s, when he won’t be able to write about them because nobody will care.
___
GH: Pt, both of our squads are 3-0 and headed to an undefeated showdown on national television as the only primetime game Thursday, October 7th in The Littlest Apple (also known as The Crab Apple in Beatrice, NE). Can
Collective Noses
Keep bringing the KU, KSU, and MU commentary. The hell with the corn-holers.
Eric – Well said.
Cliffy
Come on, Eric. They are at least “scratching the surface.” Underachieveing at times? Definitely. However, I’ll take this over the ’80s in a heartbeat. But, a lot of what you say is true.
Why should a KC-based media outlet devote any significant time to Nebraska? Really. Why? There are plenty of sources out there for you to get that kind of information.
You’re right about Gervino, Greg. It must be a rare talent to be able to be a “homer” and at the same time point out a team’s shortcomings …. because you hardly ever see it.
Ptolemy
By the way, GH, how did that uber-objective sideline reporter for MU fail to at least acknowledge that the go-ahead TD was HUGELY aided by an uncalled clip? I saw it on the replay and it was as atrocious as was Colorado’s 5th Down.
DonkeyPunch
GH, I asked this via Twitter, but I’m curious as to why Mitch Holthus thinks it’s 1998 and he’s impersonating The Rock on the worthless ‘Chief’s Kingdom’ on 810.
I’m just waiting for Holthus to say in his most homerish voice, “Can you smeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllll what the Chiefs……….are cooking?”
___
GH: Mitch is quickly becoming Bill Grigsby. He’s been pushing that “Chiefs Kingdom” crap almost as hard as he rode “The Centaur!” He is pretty entertianing though, just for all the wrong reasons.
Hammy
Um, that wasn’t a clip. I guess you guys need glasses. The defender was engaged, then spun and lunged at the WR. Once engaged it isn’t a clip if the defender moves.
But nice try. Funny to hear a Neb fan bring it up. After winning a title on a kicked ball you need to STFU about calls.
Red Fan
Man, did you see the hit that guy from SDSU laid on his own teammate during Moe’s catch and run? Brutal.
Ptolemy
T-Magic? That sounds like a cutesy name coming out of Lawrence. After Oct. 7, they’ll be calling him Flat Stanley.
___
GH: Should be a fun night.
Red Fan
Sure thing Ptolemy…because that KSU D looked dominating against ISU. Pick your poison, you shut down Martinez he’s just going to hand it off to one of the backs. Nebraska’s offense will not have troubles against the KSU D. Now, defending the KSU run, that’s another story.
Ptolemy
Red Fan, what did ISU do to your Nubbies last year?
Put all your eggs into stopping KState’s passing and you may have a chance.
jojo
nebraska is looking unbeatable…they will
smash texas in lincoln then head to the
national championship game.
MU slept with god last saturday night. It’s
about time mu got a break and something like this
miracle happened….after all the bad calls/
losses etc. it was time for MU to catch a
break.
KSTATE: HOW old is snyder? I think he’s doing
a really good job withthe talent he has…we’ll
see as year goes on.
KU: Uncle tom turner is going to beokay..
but i doubt he’ll last because ku fans are spoiled. I look for 3 wins this year…4 next
and then he gets the boot…but if ku remembers
mangino/pinkel/etc. they will be okay if they
have patience….but i checked the recruiting
sites and they are doing terrible in recruiting…
missouri is doing real well and expects another
reallygood class.
and the chiefs…3-0 after this weekend…now
thats something to get excited about.
How can they win if cassell plays so bad…
defense and special teams…just like theold
days with martyball…..
smartman
Mo Money, Mo Problems, Moe TJ, Mo Touchdowns. So far the kid is talking the talk and walking the walk.
Fucking “Centaur” is right up there with “TAILGATE KANSAS CITY” on the annoying scale. Mitch and Tracy Thomas should do a Duets album, either that or admit that Gilbert Gottfried is the spawn of their one night stand at the AFTRA convention.
Red Fan
Ptolemy,
I’d like to think Nebraska’s offense is a little better than last year and early indications support that.
I don’t think any team on KSU’s schedule will put any eggs into any baskets when it comes to stopping KSU’s passing. KSU is a one headed monster.
The Independent Rage
I was also impressed Saturday night with how quickly DeArmond had his story up on the Star’s website following the game, especially given the way it appeared MU would lose until the final minute of the game.
PPM
Say what you will about KSU passing; Air Coryell they certainly ain’t, but it was a 40 yd on-the money bomb that setup the winning score — Coffman to Smith.
Eric
Carson Coffman, meet Aldon Smith. Then your face will meet the turf.
