The 2012 Mizzou Football Thread

[cardsfansince82]

So I went digging a few pages into your indexes--is it correct to say that you guys have weekly GDTs? No general college football thread?

We have a mizzou only thread and usually slide does a weekly pick em contest that turns into that week's game thread for the other teams. Mizzou's games will probably be in this thread.

What he said plus the Phil Steele thread is serving as a preseason college football thread. Vidor if you are interested we have a college pick em contest that starts with week 1.

Yeah, he's been out for the year since last November. No one expected him to play this year, too traumatic an injury to bounce back in less than 12 months.

Albert Joseph "Al" Onofrio (March 15, 1921 – November 5, 2004) was the head football coach at the University of Missouri from 1971 to 1977. During his tenure he compiled a 38-41 record. He spent 12 years on the Missouri staff, as an assistant as well. He is notable for having pulled upsets, mainly on the road. His Mizzou football teams upset the Notre Dame Fighting Irish on October 21, 1972 (30-26) at South Bend, Indiana, the Alabama Crimson Tide on September 8, 1975 at Birmingham, the USC Trojans at Los Angeles on September 11, 1976, the Ohio State Buckeyes at Columbus two weeks later, and the Arizona State Sun Devils at Tempe on October 1, 1977, during his final season at Missouri. In his seven years at Mizzou, Onofrio compiled a 1-6 record against arch-rival Kansas, which contributed to his dismissal.

He coached four All-Americans, and 30 National Football League players. He led Missouri to two bowl games, in the 1972 Fiesta Bowl, a loss to Arizona State in Tempe, and the 1973 Sun Bowl, a win over Auburn in El Paso, Texas. He was a 1993 inductee to the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Hall of Fame.

Robert "Woody" Widenhofer (born January 20, 1943) is a former college football head coach and longtime NFL assistant. He has been announced as the head coach of the Alabama Blackbirds of the United National Gridiron League, a new minor league that was scheduled to begin play in February 2009, but whose debut has been delayed indefinitely.

Widenhofer is best known for helping the Pittsburgh Steelers "Steel Curtain" defense that won four Super Bowls in the 1970s. He later served unsuccessful tenures as head coach at Missouri and Vanderbilt University.

Widenhofer attended Riverview High School in Riverview, Michigan and played linebacker at Mizzou from 1961–1964 under coach Dan Devine. He went on to receive a master's degree at Michigan State University.

Coaching career

Widenhofer began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Michigan State where he coached the defensive line. Widenhofer then moved to Eastern Michigan and Minnesota where he served as linebackers coach. After several years as a college assistant, Widenhofer was hired to coach linebackers for the Steelers in 1973. He was promoted to defensive coordinator in 1979. By the time he left after the 1983 season, Widenhofer had won four Super Bowls and made the postseason nine times. Many experts believe Widenhofer's defense at Pittsburgh was the greatest in professional football history.

He spent one year as head coach of the short-lived United States Football League team, the Oklahoma Outlaws, before landing an opportunity at his alma mater, bolstered by a much-remembered ad campaign that urged Tigers fans to "climb on Woody's Wagon". While Widenhofer's team showed slow improvements, he only managed a 12–33–1 record in four seasons at Missouri from 1985 to 1988.

Widenhofer returned to the NFL for six years as an assistant coach, serving as defensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions followed by two years with the Cleveland Browns. He then joined friend Rod Dowhower's staff at Vanderbilt to serve as defensive coordinator. When Dowhower was fired after the 1996 season, Widenhofer was promoted to head coach. In 1997, his Vanderbilt team led the SEC in total defense. However, his second tenure as head coach was no easier than the first, as Widenhofer compiled only a 15–37 record in five seasons at the helm for VU. Widenhofer resigned in 2001. While unsuccessful on the field, the NCAA announced that Vanderbilt led the nation in football graduation percentage with a perfect 100% the year he left.

Widenhofer considered retiring, but ultimately joined friend Hal Mumme as an assistant at Southeastern Louisiana University and later New Mexico State University. Widenhofer announced he was retiring from coaching following the season finale game against Fresno State on November 30, 2007.[1]
Personal life

Widenhofer has five children: Kim, Stacy, Ryan, Ross, Katlyn and a granddaughter Addison. After his recent retirement from football, Widenhofer now resides in Florida with his wife Sabrina.[2] He is currently attempting to secure the Head Coach position for the Crestview High School Bulldogs, in North-West Florida.

Hopefully none of the [expletive] backup QBs operated them.

A ride on his scooter landed Missouri quarterback Maty Mauk in jail Thursday. The freshman was arrested on suspicion of four charges, including leaving the scene of an accident, MU police Capt. Brian Weimer said.

Through their investigation, the officers contacted Mauk and he turned himself in at MU police headquarters at 11:18 a.m. and was arrested on suspicion of four misdemeanor charges: leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident, resisting arrest by fleeing a vehicle, operating a vehicle in a reckless manner and failure to observe a traffic control device.

Mauk is the second Missouri quarterback arrested for leaving the scene of an accident in recent months. In May, redshirt freshman Corbin Berkstresser was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor for hitting a parked car with his truck and leaving the scene. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to two years unsupervised probation and 20 hours of community service.

I can't believe no one is talking ab this.

Fortunately, I wasn't on the blacked out zone and got to watch the game on espn3.com. unfortunately, the cards were closing out the nats at the beginning of the game and by the time I was able to switch the tv over to the Mizzou game, it was already over despite still being in the 1st quarter. It was 14-0 w 11 min to go in the first quarter. Mizzou, needless to say, looked good.

Bring on ga! Should be awesome.
