Good to see you. I'll be giving some recruiting information in a bit as I purse my hometown to start the process off. Illinios and Kansas is on my list as well.

Reporting for the meeting and ready to discuss various matters as pertaining to the recruiting, gameplan, and any other topics Coach wants...

Shoot, we have a ton of needs and I'll try to help out both sides of the ball, but obviously I can't retool the whole team in one year.

..and I was wrong, it says on the recruiting screen we have 36 scholarships remaining. Maybe that's 11 for this season?

Yes, its 11 unused ones this year...that does not account for seniors who will graduate this year(they bring it up to 36). Again though, we have quite a few talented walkon youngsters who might get scholie looks during the year...but that is for another meeting coach

Remember, I'm fairly new to this game, so I'm unsure if my recruiting is going to have positive results right off the bat.
![]() Let me know if you need any other info from these recruits I've contacted thus far. Thanks. Code:

My stretch so far is CB Paul Parkinson, a music major from Kearney, Missouri. In just 4 games, he has 28 tackles and 12 interceptions.
Most of the guys recruited were worse than expected. Let me know what you guys think and we'll get going on Game One. Todd Last edited by MizzouRah : 10-04-2004 at 09:06 PM. |

I like it, but I'd consider recruiting closer to home. CA seems a bit of a stretch. Where's the Sol 8 located?

Id venture to say parkinson is at least a nice target...id say you stick with him till someone comes in that just blows us away prestige and academic wise...i think you have to hope your distance helps you out.
One thing i would request is what level of competition we are facing for the recruits, and id say drop 1 of the DEs and go after a DT if you could...just my choice...cant speak for defense though

Recruiting Update:
DE Thomas Terry is out. He's strongly considering Florida and basically said not to bother him. CB Paul Parkinson has an offer from UCLA and that has him flying high vs Missouri. I don't think I'll waste any more time with him either. WR Roderick Major thanked me for visiting him, but overall he likes Ohio St. I'll keep a lazy eye on him, but I think I'm aiming a tad high right off the bat. S Lorenzo Humphries has an offer from Northern Illinios and was iffy on visiting Missouri. QB Ross Harding has Ohio St. wining and dining him this week, so I think I'll check out another QB. RB Marlon Prior has only been contacted by us. Hopefully that will help sway him some. S Chuck Glover has Bowling Green and Louisville after him and I think we're #3 on his list. DE Jimmie Holmes and Reggie Hardy have only been contacted by us as well, but so far they've declined my invitation to our school. OLB Leonard Rasmussen has Tulsa and Jolplin chasing him with an offer from Joplin. WR Tony Doran has been offered a scholarship from Jefferson City. New Recruits Code:

Ok, I'll let my scouts handle the gameplay, if that is ok?
Basically, I would like to sit back Game 1 and see what we can do. This game should give us a good idea on where we're at and what we need to improve on. I took both of your advice and started recruiting closer to home. The main reason I ventured away from home so early was the player were in blue or green, which I think means they are interested in Missouri. However, I need to make sure my scount in that particular region is good with that type of player. Gentlemen, I'm ready to get this season underway. The players are ready to go and I really would like to see where this team is for 2004. Todd |

As I shook hands with the Head Coach of Arkansas St., I couldn't help cracking a smile as I headed to the locker room.
375 total yards to 74, are you kidding me? I don't know what you two Coaches did, but keep it up. We played one hell of a game, even if it was a game we should win. I'll get player stats up as soon as possible. Thanks gentlemen! Head Coach, MR Last edited by MizzouRah : 10-04-2004 at 10:50 PM. |

The locker room was buzzing as well as the media after the game. I just smiled at our men and said, "Remember this feeling". I talked for a short while at the press conference, giving all credit to my two coordinators and our team play. "Smart football" was all I kept saying.
I let you two hand out the stokes for the game: Code:

I GUESS ill take that score...I really like how my boys on D did. Ill take 33 passing yards allowed any day of the week, and a 1.4 ypc is pretty good stat too... 2 picks and 3 forced fumbles.
Before seeing the individual stats, i feel bad about blasting Nathan Baxter when he gets game MVP...

Speaking of Baxter, he came into my office before the game and wondered why you have been so hard on him. I told him there's a reason for everything and to go out there and give it his all. I guess he took it to heart as he had a spectacular game. As you can see, I like to stay out of my coaches business. ![]() All is not all good news, here's the injury report: Code:

Yah, Baxter made an impression on me today, but i still think he has a long way to go. He has to keep working hard and i hope he will be able to hold down his spot this well all year long. Rueben Battle was looking bright, and Wally will be counted on even more heavily now....but Rueben is the future of the spot. Myers was a starter at OLB, and we were looking for him to be a leader during his senior year. Sheckton was a young kid who wasnt going to see much time this year. These three kids all looked to have bright seasons and its a shame to see them go down. When your in the trenches though, accidents happen. We just hope they come back soon.

Game 1 detailed look:
DE: Anderson started off the season with a solid performance, and really looked like one of the leaders of the D. Richardson played hard but only got 1 tackle. MVP: Anderson DT: What can i say about Baxter...super performance by all accounts. With other lineman getting double-teamed, baxter got single all day long and killed the QB. Daehnke played hard and contributed, but hopefully he will pick it up when we face tougher competition. MVP: Baxter ILB: Wally battle played well for the time he was in the game, and i think he could be solid this year...our others are still a bit of a mess right now, but that hopefully will get sorted out soon. MVP:Battle(Wally) OLB: Banks didnt blow anyone away, but thats the kind ofplayer he is. he contributes solidly and makes he play speak for itself. Others played well, but no real standouts MVP:Banks CB: First off, Hopkins INT was nice to see and hopefully we will see many more. A big suprise for me was our Ballhawk corner in Stephenson knocking two balls loose. He made some bone-rattling hits today. Patterson also had a pick from the thrid CB spot, making this spot look pretty solid this year MVP: Despite the two INTs being solid, i liked Stepenson's aggresive tackling(so it goes to Stephenson) S: Sampon put in a solid effort, but overall the S let me down today. Thats hard to say after the way the D dominated, but i thought my S would be leading the D, not backing it up...hopefully they can pick it up MVP: None...not good enough this week

Close game until ILB Wally Battle intercepted a pass that setup our go ahead score. We wanted him to step up and he did. Excellent job Wally!
I don't know what you two coaches are doing gameplan wise, but I like it. ![]() Three int's and 1 fumble recovery, great job on tip drills Blade. It was a good road win and we played well. Todd Last edited by MizzouRah : 10-07-2004 at 08:31 PM. |

In the locker room, the players were tired and ready to get back to Columbia. I did the usual press conference and got on the bus with the rest of the coaches. "Men, this was a tough win, but we endured the physical challenge and I'm proud of each and every one of you."
Here's the stokes for todays game: Code:
