Mizzourah 2.0

As we mentioned last week, we've packed up this piece of crap site, and shined it up over at Mizzourahblog.com.

As of 8:15a this morning, you will now not need to do the bullyforoldmizzou.blogspot.com. Instead, change your bookmarks to either Mizzourah.net or Mizzourahblog.com. Both will take you to our new digs. We are looking forward to having your Calvin pissing on a Jayhawk stickered truck parked in our newly paved driveway.

Not Hyped for the Illannoy Game?

Apparently the Tigers already are.

Stealin' Another Commitment

Props to JP from Show Me Sports for the report. Edmond Oklahoma d-back Xavier Smith has committed to Mizzou. JP's got the story.

"I committed" was a text that Xavier Smith sent me a few minutes ago.

Smith made an unofficial visit to Missouri yesterday and I wrote an artcile detailing his thoughts on the visit. This morning he had realized he knew what he wanted to do.

"This morning I just knew I had to commit. It just felt like home." said Smith after alerting me that he had indeed committed to the Missouri Tigers. "If I didn't commit it felt like I would be missing out on the best opportunity I could ask for. They really have it all."

The 5`11' 175lbs Smith earned a scholarship offer after having a great camp in Kansas City at the Tigers one day camp. On that day he ran a 4.47 forty and vertical jumped 37" while also displaying great agility,athleticism and defensive back skills.

Smith turned down several offers, including interest from Okie State and Oklahoma.

Big Body Headed to CoMo

We told you about 6'6" 280lb buffet killer Anthony Gatti a few weeks back, and like a good Italian paisano, he's heading to CoMO. The Parkway North lineman picks Mizzou over Ole Miss, kU, and Wisconsin.

Tigerboard Comment of the Day

No idea how reputable this is so take it with a grain of salt. Via bluesox7:

Keith DeWitt to Moberly Juco. 

Bank on it, with Jay Spoonhour the new coach, and that kid that signed with Okie State going there. 

Got some inside information here in town, and Dewitt will be a greyhound first before he is a tiger.

For all you hardcore gamblers

We got some college football odds straight from Sin City. From VegasInsider.com:

• Odds of Mizzou winning the Big 12: 20 to 1.
• Odds of Mizzou winning the National Championship: 100 to 1.
• Opening line on total number of Tiger victories: 6.5

Here's how Vegas lists the chances of the rest of the teams in the Big 12 of winning the conference:

• Texas: 13 to 10
• Oklahoma: 8 to 5
• Kansas: 5 to 1
• Nebraska: 5 to 1
• Oklahoma State: 8 to 1
• Colorado: 20 to 1
• Texas Tech: 20 to 1
• Kansas State: 40 to 1
• Baylor: 40 to 1
• Texas A&M: 40 to 1
• Iowa State: 75 to 1

I'd like to put $5 on Mizzou winning the Big 12 and $100 on them winning more than 6.5 games. Oh, and I'd like to slap the shit out of whoever puts a single dollar on that Nebraska line. 

Props to CU for this promo

Found this on Dave Matter's Twitter. Sweetest season ticket promo I've probably ever seen. 

NCAA 10 rosters are out

Few football video games in recent memory have provoked the kind of mixed reaction as NCAA Football '10 has evoked. One contingent of gamers swears the game is as strong as ever and lauds the new Season Showdown and Teambuilder features. But the other side argues the game has only marginally improved (if that) from the last several versions of the game. They say the game has grown stale and are waiting for the release of Madden to get their virtual football fix. 

I'm still in the undecided camp. And I need your help to decide which game to go with this season. Understand that NCAA has been my game for damn near close to a decade. I've never been a huge Madden fan. In fact, I've always thought the game was fairly overrated. But I played the NCAA 10 demo and was definitely not a fan. And I like what I've read about Madden. I have absolutely no idea what to do. 

So please vote in the poll to your right. Is NCAA 10 worth buying or should I wait for the release of Madden? You decide. 

And in case you're not as conflicted as I am and are already rolling with NCAA 10, Lanteri87 has the rosters finished for the XBox 360 version. I can't vouch for them but they've gotten positive reviews over at Operation Sports. And buckeye02 has the rosters for PS3. Both rosters only have updated names, the ratings have been left as EA Sports originally had them. 

And I'll go ahead and include this since it's what comes up on a google image search for "NCAA 10." 

Another kU arrest

But seriously, there's not a discipline problem on this team and no one should worry about potential chemistry issues. Everything's cool. Via kusports.com:

Rodriguez brothers arrested

A former Kansas University football starter and his brother, a current KU player, were arrested after an early morning bar fight Saturday.

Cesar Rodriguez, 24, and Jose Rodriguez, 21, were arrested on suspicion of aggravated battery.

A little before 2 a.m. the Lawrence Police Department was called to the Cadillac Ranch, 2515 W 6th St., about a fight.

The Rodriguez brothers, who were doormen at the bar, had forcibly removed a patron from the bar, police said. The patron was later transported by ambulance to Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

Cesar Rodriguez was a four-year starter at offensive tackle for KU from 2004-2007.

Jose Rodriguez, a senior, is a reserve offensive lineman for the Jayhawks.

Tigerboard Comment of the Day

Via TigerinKansas:

Missouri to play Texas Pan American 

In my ongoing effort to reveal the entire Mizzou non-con before Mizzou releases the schedule, I have discovered that the Tigers will face Texas Pan Amercan in one of the two early round games in Columbia for the South Padre Island Invitational. 

I discovered this when I found out through a google lookup that Tex. Pan. Am. was in the tournament, and remembered both ODU and Richmond had already revealed their two "early round" games against the four non-hosts. Because TPA wasn't an opponent of either, they have to be one of ours (as well as Miss State).

The other, by the way, will be against Longwood or Bethune Cookman -- haven't figured that out yet. It is NOT a bracketed deal in Columbia, again. Once either school or Miss State releases their schedule, I'll be able to figure it out.

As noted before, once we get to South Padre, we will play Old Dominion and then either Miss State or Richmond. 

So, our non-con schedule as now:

1. Texas Pan American (in Columbia)*
2. Longwood or Bethune Cookman (in Columbia)*
3. Old Dominion (at South Padre Island)*
4. Miss State/Richmond (at South Padre Island)*
5. Oregon**
6. Georgia
7. The Citadel
8. at Oral Roberts
9. Illinois in St. Louis

*South Padre Island Invitational
**Big 12/Pac 10 Challenge

9 down, 6 more to go!!
