Missouri Tigers Athletics :: Mizzou College Sports :: TigerBoard.com :: I think Gates was great hire and the team looks good

For the wait and see crowd. What are you waiting for? - longtimereader MU - 11/30 13:04:44

Weekend non-conference games should have been legit - alstl MU - 11/30 20:09:36

yes! - Beakerbasher KC - 11/30 20:29:40

Maybe to calm some of these people down - DevilsAdvocate KC - 11/30 16:30:19

I saw the AD in the locker room....nm - tigertix MU - 11/30 16:20:28

against *this schedule*, 20 wins is a bare minimum to be - zounami MU - 11/30 15:40:21

Make sure you put this out there - Gavin Citrus MU - 11/30 19:22:08

You don't think much of the conference?(nm) - DevilsAdvocate KC - 11/30 16:27:37

I do, but the average team isn't top 20. (nm) - zounami MU - 11/30 16:32:47

The 9th place team is not top 20 - DevilsAdvocate KC - 11/30 16:34:44

Failure is not playing hard, being unwatchable,& trolling, - Macgrantt MU - 11/30 15:59:25

I am convinced Gates was an excellent hire - JG MU

- 11/30 14:56:02

The team clearly plays hard for him and it's a fun style - OntheMark MU - 11/30 18:05:08

some of you are easily fooled by a hyperweak non-con... - zounami MU - 11/30 15:41:57

Are you expecting wins in those 2 games? - Jmill88 MU - 11/30 17:15:09

well, KU has struggled and *barely* beat Southern Utah... - zounami MU - 11/30 17:25:18

You sure give Drink more rope(nm) - DevilsAdvocate KC - 11/30 16:19:43

wrong... if we went 8-0 against FCS opponents, I would be - zounami MU - 11/30 16:23:08

Dude you cut Drink way too much slack - DevilsAdvocate KC - 11/30 16:24:43

I'm stating objective facts... why don't you take this - zounami MU - 11/30 16:25:41

There are also positive objective facts, but you never seem - MIZtigerZOU MU - 11/30 16:34:51

My posts are neutral, not negative. I'm saying it's unclear - zounami MU - 11/30 16:36:43

Thats just not true. When someone posts something positive - MIZtigerZOU MU - 11/30 16:57:56

We don't need that experiment here though(nm) - DevilsAdvocate KC - 11/30 16:38:16

neutrality and objectivity?... it's more than what the - zounami MU - 11/30 16:42:35

Look like more of a team(nm) - DevilsAdvocate KC - 11/30 16:35:12

I hardly take a tone these days. I just don't know where - DevilsAdvocate KC - 11/30 16:26:33

(and btw, with several of them being near-losses) (nm) - zounami MU - 11/30 16:23:58

Which were near misses? (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/30 16:44:42

near losses (nm) - zounami MU - 11/30 16:45:10

Penn, Southern Indiana, Wichita State (nm) - zounami MU - 11/30 17:02:53

Mizzou led Southern Indiana by double digits from - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/30 17:11:56

Penn was a tie game with 6 minutes remaining, and only - zounami MU - 11/30 17:22:14

it was a two-possession game (nm) - zounami MU - 11/30 17:14:52

USI baked a 3 in with 5 seconds left. - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/30 17:17:49

So what? They pulled within 6 and might have won if there - zounami MU - 11/30 17:20:26

Yes if the game was 48 minutes that could have changed thing - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/30 17:35:44

or 41 minutes... a two-possession game can change quickly (nm) - zounami MU - 11/30 17:58:46

So your saying it was a close loss if - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/30 18:04:43

no, I'm saying it was a two-possession game (nm) - zounami MU - 11/30 18:06:59

So that’s a different argument than - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/30 18:16:43

2 possessions is a close loss, IMO (nm) - zounami MU - 11/30 18:41:33

It’s a win that was never in doubt - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/30 18:46:33

It was close. Southern Indiana simply ran out of time. (nm) - zounami MU - 11/30 18:49:30

That’s funny (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/30 18:55:46

Which do you consider near losses? (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/30 16:51:58

(see reply above) (nm) - zounami MU - 11/30 17:03:16

He didnt say a single word claiming they were good - MIZtigerZOU MU - 11/30 16:19:04

"I'm convinced it was an excellent hire"... - zounami MU - 11/30 16:22:38

You've convinced me - JG MU

- 11/30 16:38:15

So youre doubling down. He never once said this years team - MIZtigerZOU MU - 11/30 16:24:34

and I never said he said that (nm) - zounami MU - 11/30 16:25:02

So youre just randomly responding with disconnected - MIZtigerZOU MU - 11/30 16:28:12

This is why I am confused about Zounami's passion - DevilsAdvocate KC - 11/30 16:29:16

To be honest, I'm helping certain "fans" understand what - zounami MU - 11/30 16:35:02

LOL often the sports boards - JG MU

- 11/30 16:40:12

The football board has jumped shark - DevilsAdvocate KC - 11/30 16:36:29

if you and MIZtigerZOU policed the FB board like you're - zounami MU - 11/30 16:41:44

Nobody is policing. Just pointing out your obvious game nm - MIZtigerZOU MU - 11/30 16:55:28

It seems the passion is just to **** on any positive point - MIZtigerZOU MU - 11/30 16:30:25

He typically seems very reasonable on the football board - DevilsAdvocate KC - 11/30 16:31:16

It’s the way of the current world. Dig your heels in on your - MIZtigerZOU MU - 11/30 16:32:23

If your wrong, your wrong...don't worry about it - DevilsAdvocate KC - 11/30 16:33:50

What is your endgame here?(nm) - DevilsAdvocate KC - 11/30 16:25:16

His end game is to generate negative attention by trolling - Macgrantt MU - 11/30 16:31:18

As always, to discuss Mizzou sports... - zounami MU - 11/30 16:25:59

LOL - JG MU

- 11/30 16:49:14

What is this benchmark? - DevilsAdvocate KC - 11/30 16:28:11

So the OP is excited, cut him some slack(nm) - DevilsAdvocate KC - 11/30 16:27:00

JHC zounami(nm) - DevilsAdvocate KC - 11/30 16:23:03

So losing to Top 20 teams means you're not good in sue world - Macgrantt MU - 11/30 16:02:02

It means you're not great. Our SEC slate will be a test of - zounami MU - 11/30 16:07:18

Good is a relative term (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/30 15:46:56

I think Gates was great hire and the team looks good - Genco98 MU - 11/30 14:46:44

I can't tell if that was directed to me or not but if it was - longtimereader MU - 11/30 20:14:42

Everyone has a right to complain (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/30 14:52:36

Where is that written? Nm - Sigma MU - 11/30 15:16:32

RE: Where is that written? Nm - TigerA MU - 11/30 15:24:42

I'm fine with .500 this year(nm) - Diamond Dave MU

- 11/30 14:42:29

in SEC play? (nm) - zounami MU - 11/30 15:40:38

There is a difference in waiting to - alwaysright MU - 11/30 14:30:08

It probably going to be a year of runs. - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/30 14:42:05

They're waiting for that "I told so" moment the one they - miz_zou MU - 11/30 14:08:19

I dont see anyone waiting around....(nm) - SuperTone MU

- 11/30 14:12:05

The schedule plays a big part in wins expectations - meatiger MU - 11/30 13:58:04

I mean we have an awful strength of schedule - bluesox7 MU - 11/30 13:57:50

Every team we've played had a "pulse." - glue MU - 11/30 14:28:06

oh come on! lol - bluesox7 MU - 11/30 14:31:46

waiting for what? Will they be top half SEC or not? let's - TigerFan92 STL - 11/30 13:50:27

5+8 = 13...... 7+10 = 17...... - shorty MU

- 11/30 14:00:53

i guess I read it as a range of wins possible - SuperTone MU

- 11/30 14:26:31

dammm just dammm(nm) - TigerFan92 STL - 11/30 14:19:30

5th thru 8th...7th thru 10th. Nm - BandG MU - 11/30 14:08:00

Ahh!! The "th" makes it more clear.. (nm) - shorty MU

- 11/30 14:38:20

Forfeited due to no Mosely apparently(nm) - Mormad MU - 11/30 14:05:29

Back in 1980's AAU ball we actually didn't finish - TigerFan92 STL - 11/30 14:37:48

A .500 SEC record would be a huge step forward for MU - Fred G. Sanford USA - 11/30 13:47:07

I firmly believe last years team would be 7-1 with this - TheWildcat MU

- 11/30 13:33:22

No(nm) - DevilsAdvocate KC - 11/30 16:20:16

probably 8-0 (nm) - zounami MU - 11/30 15:41:08

Lost to UMKC & a comparatively worse WSU team. - alwaysright MU - 11/30 14:23:28

Last years team would have lost to USI I have no doubt. nm - thytiger MU - 11/30 14:17:26

Penn too, probably (nm) - dbryantMU13 MU - 11/30 18:27:28

At least 2 losses...Penn and last night...maybe 3. Nm - BandG MU - 11/30 14:09:47

last year's team lost to UMKC by double digits(nm) - MizzouAstro MU

- 11/30 13:54:52

Lost by 14 and let's be real, it wasn't that close - Eggs MU - 11/30 14:08:31

No (nm) - Cosmo MU

- 11/30 13:51:13

This years team wouldn't lose to last years Roos.. (nm) - shorty MU

- 11/30 13:47:00

Or last year's WSU at home - Eggs MU - 11/30 13:51:19

Brazile hadn’t played at this point last season - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/30 13:45:57

I thought that was the case each year he was here and - longtimereader MU - 11/30 14:15:28

I thought he was good in years 1 and 4 - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/30 14:39:09

You must've not watched them play last year (nm) - Columbian Gold MU - 11/30 13:45:27

Maybe, maybe not - hou4mu MU - 11/30 13:44:36

Last years would have lost to Penn and Southern Indiana - Macgrantt MU - 11/30 13:43:38

Last year could have easily lost to Coastal Carolina - SuperTone MU

- 11/30 13:43:01

Good call on those teams as well. I think people forget - Eggs MU - 11/30 13:48:43

They would have lost to Southern Indiana too - Eggs MU - 11/30 13:40:19

Yup. I forgot about them.(nm) - SuperTone MU

LOL!. Irrational Exuberance. 500 in SEC & Gates is coach of - Sigma MU - 11/30 13:14:05

Agreed(nm) - DevilsAdvocate KC - 11/30 16:20:49

They're mad our wins aren't the right kind of wins - Columbian Gold MU - 11/30 13:07:15

After SEMO they will all be P6 Level - longtimereader MU - 11/30 13:08:58
