Trailblazers: How Norris Stevenson and Johnny Roland changed Mizzou football https://abc17news.com/news/special-report/2026/10/19/trailblazers-how-norris-stevenson-and-johnny-roland-changed-mizzou-football/

This team really does have high expectations for themselves and I love it. I really hope those close by to Columbia can show out at our home games and give these guys a full stadium each night.

I'm watching the Bears and Falcons and the announcers have mentioned Luther Burden's name a lot. And every time they do, I can't help but smile.

At least we’re still ranked.

we can still make TX, GA and KY hate us.

Mizzou played an awful game on the road against a team with Trinidad Chambliss. Let’s get that out of the way.

Before the Florida game, the narrative was Drinkwitz can’t win the big game. He demolished Florida obviously(who smoked Ole Miss and beat Texas today).

What is the next milestone he needs to reach for you to stop saying let’s fire him?

Still want to fire him even after what he’s done? Okay. If Mizzou fires Drinkwitz after his season, they will have to pay him approximately $40.7 million under a 75% form (according to ChatGPT).

I’d rather pay the man to do his job than sink $40.7 million. You can say goodbye to our star players, we won’t have the money to pay them if Drinkwitz is owed his buyout.

I will take saving all that money, putting it towards NIL, and letting Drinkwitz do his thing.

He’s not getting fired.

Who knows maybe he will win 3-4 more games. If he beats Texas, or Georgia (not planning on the Georgia win but don’t be mad if he loses to them). He could win every game except the last one against Oklahoma and people would still find a reason to want him fired.

The Missouri goal on offense should have been to control time of possession which means primarily a running offense. Definitely not repeated attempts at "big plays". The Missouri defense game plan should have been to minimize the amount of time the Ole Miss quarterback had to through the ball. But, Missouri is the worst coached team in college football. A monumental waste of player talent.

No rhythm on offense. Simmons too pass happy with Lee, olugbude just gets abandoned after having great catches, run game purely non existent. Simmons showed his youth and lack of experience today, just folded under pressure constantly and so many miscommunications.

Defense did what they could in the second half only giving up 11 points but didn’t matter. Corners looked lost, d line with zero pressure, Batoon adjusting too late.

Special teams is absolutely abysmal. I stand by the fact that we do not have a kicker. Blake Craig is simply not good

Positives: Olugbude, but the biggest thing is Jude James. He was flying across the field and had some great catches and RAC. It’s time to let go of Norfleet and start Jude. We’re entirely too predictable on offense and one dimensional. We gotta get more pass catchers involved

I would be upset at drink but this is just who he is. No point in beating up a dead horse

Overall i think the playoffs are out of the picture but will be fun to see how we bounce back and adjust to the upcoming second half of the season. This stings. MIZ!!! Thoughts?

I usually do sling daily pass but that’s been discontinued. Not feeling it for $40.

Very bummed Sling got rid of their day and weekend passes. I’ve done lots of googling but haven’t found much alternative. Looking at doing the basic package+sports add on (~$35), but wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions or alternatives they’ve found?
