If Mizzou had a qb this year, they probably would've made the CFP. A three-point loss to Alabama and a seven-point loss to Vanderbilt were all winnable games. Even the loss to Oklahoma was winnable game. Maybe a Brady Cook at qb would've gotten them there.

Is it that low in Missouri?

She was the main reason I subscribe to The Athletic.

Good report, Bernie. I always thought it had to do with Shildt not accepting decisions by the front office. Your report says it went further. Makes sense.

Well,,,what are your thoughts after the game? Pribula looked good. The offensive line looks like it needs some work. Receivers and backs looked good. Defense looks good. Problems with QB depth now and kicking. And Central Arkansas is just an FCS team.

Additionally, it's ironic they broke up the bullpen at the Trade Deadline, and that's still their strength.

They are going to have to get serious about adding talent to the rotation to turn this thing around. And I'm not talking about through the farm system.

I wonder if Craig Counsell is having any second thoughts.

Yes, I believe this off-season will be interesting. I'm just not expecting it to be a "franchise changing" one. But will give a glimpse into what Bloom's tenure could be like.
