She was given two to five years. Well, today marks the 12th anniversary of my wife’s brain tumor diagnosis. It has been quite the odyssey. Leigh is my hero and an inspiration to so many. markgodich.substack.com/p/tr…

This is a “When you’re explaining, you’re losing” answer.
"Some of the worst 'officials' in America are those in the announce booth." "I am highly disappointed in the announcers." Greg Sankey vehemently defends the SEC's officiating and details planned improvements:

I don't how it happened, but the replay in the Chiefs-Jets game went against the Missouri Tigers.

LOL.
SEC statement on the fumble ruling: "The ruling on the field was a fumble. In replay review it was determined there was not clear and obvious video evidence that he had firm control of the ball when the hand intentionally started forward in order to overturn the call."

Nothing to see here. Had it would’ve been called incomplete, Mizzou would’ve gotten the ball back on a punt, up 7 in the fourth quarter. Instead, Texas tied it a few plays later.
This is clearly and obviously an incomplete pass. He loses control after the hand moves forward.

People gonna look at that 34-20 final score and say, ho hum, nice win for Texas. LOL. What a joke.

Really wish that ball had hit the ground and the pass ruled incomplete so the SEC replay crew could overturn the call and rule it a fumble.

Never mind they didn’t overturn it. The back judge is signaling incomplete pass with his hands. Guys stopped playing.
Again: this was ruled a fumble and a 12-yard gain. Texas scored right after this and tied the score with #Mizzou.

What are we even doing with replay if this is called incomplete?
You can’t overturn the call on the field with that

Again, the SEC would do itself a ton of favors by letting us hear the audio like all the other leagues do. Because no matter how this game ends, people are going to believe what they want with every single review ending with a better outcome for Texas.
Hey, another review doesn't go Mizzou's way. And Steve Shaw predicts another review result incorrectly. But great heads-up play by Mosley to grab that ball because the officials had ruled a fumble on the field and most of the other players hadn't noticed.

It’s gotten laughable at this point. Never seen anything like it. Explain yourself @SECOfficiating

Hey, look, a replay review didn't go Missouri's way again. Also, the broadcast doesn't seem to be going back to Steve Shaw after he went 0-for-2 on his first replay predictions. The SEC would help itself a lot by letting us hear the audio like all the other power conferences do now.

Great read. Only one word in here disturbs me—quite literally
Good morning. @NotJackKemp is ripping off the Band-Aid: Brian Schottenheimer is not the guy, and he's never going to be. Excellent, necessary words that Jake didn't want to write but did anyway. dmagazine.com/sports/2026/11…

Hard to do. But I’ll be damned if they didn’t pull it off.
And the show has reached a new low

In the last hour, I’ve confronted two young people who have pulled into handicap parking places to pick up food. They seemed to think putting on their flashers was good enough. I’d gladly trade our handicap plate for the alternative. You would, too. Rant over. Carry on.

And then not-so brilliant clock mgmt at the end of the half. A perfect storm
Bad and dumb is not the best formula.

Name me a coordinator who has done a better job than @MizzouFootball DC Corey Batoon. Replaced every starter on defense this year. On Saturday, A&M snapped it 19 times in the second and third quarters and netted one yard. One! Aggies had a whopping 2 first downs thru 3 quarters

Yeah, what team in its right mind would want to have a defense like that?
Mizzou won the superbowl last weekend. Looks like crap today of course

Shoutout to @RTrombley_MIZ and his team. Didn’t think the mini-movie from the 2023 Tennessee game could be topped. Yet here we are. Pure cinema.

Doubling down from last week
Houston has no timeouts remaining. Brian Schottenheimer decides to attempt a 65-yard FG after having a 62-yarder blocked on previous possession. Brandon Aubrey misses. Texans get short field & a FG to go into half w/ a 16-6 lead. Game management?
