  Son of a bitch. When I heard about all the Iowa suspensions I put 10,000 on Iowa. Easy come, easy go...

  He actually did play a good deal down the stretch. Robinson was hurt or out for some reason against Indiana and Coker had a good game replacing him and then saw action as the #2 back the rest of the year. Against Ohio State, he was their main back and did a lot better than Robinson.

  Rankings mean little as far as that goes. Missouri plays teams that throw a ton. OkState, Texas Tech, Texas, Oklahoma, etc. The only real running team they went up against had one guy go for 307 yards on them.

  I guess Coker did play a little more than I thought but not nearly enough though.

  I like Gary Pinkel(because he used to be the Rockets coach) but maybe it's time for Missouri to start looking at replacing him.
  
  He has been there for ten years and has not won the conference or got to a BCS game and has a losing record in the bowls his teams have played.
  He should be feeling some heat despite winning 10 games 3 of the last 4 seasons..............sooner or later coach has to start winning his conference.

  By a true frosh and #2 back, I'd call it manhandled.

  Missouri would be good to have in the B10.

  I don't know if I'd like Missouri in the Big Ten. I think they'd be like an Illinois. A perennial middle of the road team with a few sprinkles of being near the top.

  I think since he has made Mizzou a respectable program (compared to what they were prior to Pinkel). They were really bad before Pinkel. He should get at least another season or two.
