Blaine Gabbert is your B12 Offensive Player of the Week. Yeah, surprise, right?
Bill at RMN has his BTBS breakdown. To keep it simple, we looked good.
no commentsJust one week into the season and Mizzou has already cracked the top 25. Much love to Illinois for making all this possible.

Now half of the Big XII conference is ranked. Three from the North, three from the South. The Big XII has more teams ranked in the top 25 than any other conference.

Pregame Audio entrance suggestion
I was thinking about our new video/sound system and thought having them play the first part of "Blind" by Korn (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_hIojjA3A4) would be an awesome tune to get people jacked up. Then have the players run out after they say "are you ready?". What could be even better is if they turned off all the lights and just flashed the spotlights around the tunnel during each little guitar rift. Just thought that would be really cool. Thoughts?I don't know if the Mizter Lock actually has control over the pre-game video but please go with something other than Korn. But as for his idea about dimming the lights and flashing the strobe lights? YES. YES. YES. HELL YES.
I'm still working on a post about what the ideal entrance for the Tigers would be. But for now, here's my suggestion for run-out music: The D-Generation X entrance song "Are You Ready?" by Rage Against the Machine. A lot of our readers that don't like professional wrestling are probably rolling their eyes right now but listen to the song. You're telling me that wouldn't be kickass blaring through the sound system at Faurot? And it works out perfectly for the strobe light idea. It's totally original unlike the hundreds of teams that just go with AC/DC or Crazy Train. And it's a song by one of the coolest bands of the last 20 years. I know it's not the Fray but it'd still be pretty sweet. Please make this happen MU athletic department.
no commentsWow, a whole lot of movement in this poll. But really, what do you expect after a preseason poll? Of course, right now, it's a rough draft. Love it? Hate it? Leave your thoughts in the comments.

Actually from 09-06, but too good to not post. Via Juzam:
Best part of the game yesterday (on TV):
When they showed Weatherspoon's family and commented on the 'hit list' t-shirt. That was awesome! The shirt listed all of the QBs Weatherspoon was gonna go after. Listed Colt McCoy, Juice, Reesing, and Zac Lee... The announcers had NO clue who Zac Lee was! They said they would have to reprint the shirts because the only Zac they could think of was Robinson. I actually LoL'd a little!

During our podcast last week I predicted Mizzou would win eight games this but added that my forecast could completely change after watching the Tigers play in week 1. And after seeing Saturday’s game I do want to make some revisions:
- Gabbert was an overrated high school recruit. He has all the tools but clearly no intangibles. I know his finals stats look impressive but I’d call the numbers deceivingly good because BG was BAAAAD on Saturday. Jimmy Costello will be starting by the time Nebraska comes to CoMo. And someone might want to look up Blaine Dalton’s cell phone number just to have him on standby.
- The receiving corps is in shambles after losing J-Mac, Coffman and Tommy Saunders. Danario Alexander is destined to never live up to his full potential. Even if he had the heart his knees clearly look shot. Also, can’t remember hearing Wes Kemp’s name called once.
- The defense isn’t going to be able to pressure Furman’s QB let alone get by a Big 12 O-line. The Smith boys and Coultergeist are obviously nothing more than message board legends. And the secondary doesn’t appear any better than when Justin Garret and a one-footed Willy Mo were back there. Spoon looks like he’s already got his eyes on next season when he’s backing up Ray Lewis.
- Special teams…good God special teams. Are we sure Jeff Wolfert doesn’t have one more year of eligibility? Can we bring in the rest of the diving team for a tryout to see if there are any other diamonds in the rough? Maybe it was just first game jitters but Grant Ressel looked RATTLED.
- I hate to admit it but Juice Williams looks like he’s finally ready for that breakout year Illni fans have been waiting for. Don’t throw away that Juice for Heisman T-shirt that you bought three years ago just yet Illinois fans. Say what you want about the Big 11, but this Illinois team is legit. Wouldn’t be surprised at all to see them making a return to the Rose Bowl this year.
- Moving on to the rest of the Big 12, in our podcast Big Head, Hat and myself all agreed that the people saying K-State and Colorado could surprise people this year were morons. Well, looks like it’s safe to say WE were the morons. Looks like Bill Snyder has erased all the destruction Ron Prince caused over the last three years and has that program right back where it was when Darren Sproles was wearing purple. And Colorado’s performance last night speaks for itself. These are two games I was counting as W’s that now look like they’re definite L’s. I’ll never question Phil Steele’s predictions again. This could be a long year us Mizzou fans.
- But seriously...M-I-Z, bitches.
The Heisman campaign for Todd Reesing has launched. ToddReesingForHeisman.com launched on Sunday afternoon. Unbelievable, right?
No, go ahead and click on that link.
Yeah it is what you think it is. I didn't mis-link.
Suck it Buckleshoes.
