This is getting embarrassing for the Tide. #CFP #ROSEBpwl

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.

'This is not a normal road trip': Mizzou visits Oklahoma 59 years after last win in Norman "We haven’t had the history of success at that place, so we’re going to have to really lock in," Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz said.

The best summary of what's going on in our country that I have ever read. Kudos to Tom Friedman.

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.

BREAKING: The SEC is finally moving to a 9-game conference schedule in 2026.

There will be three permanent opponents and six rotating opponents.

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.

Just wondering if Craig Counsell is having 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.

The Trade Deadline is like a game of chicken. How long should a team wait to make their move or moves.

Gordo: Little is actually settled by new revenue sharing in college sports The blockbuster House vs. NCAA legal settlement temporarily restored some sanity. How long will the new rules hold up against all the pushback certain to come? Our guess: not very.

So where is everyone at now.
(1) The Cardinals should sell at the Trade Deadline.
(2) The Cardinals should be buyers at the Trade Deadline
(3) The Cardinals should hold at the Trade Deadline and see what happens.
