My rating system for bowls would be trash, ok, pretty good, good, really good, great (reserved for if we make the playoffs).
Nash Vegas is hard to beat as far as a destination lots of fans can make and it’s obviously a lot of fun.

So will MU go all in with the 'Wishbone Offense'? From Wiki "The Oklahoma playbook describes the quarterback, the architect behind the Wishbone, as, "a running back who can throw."" Imagine the NIL that can be saved with the Wishbone - No real QB or WR's needed. Pribula effectively is a running back as he stares down his first option then tucks and runs.
Yeah. When the Tigers get back to playing Central Arkansas, U Mass, and Louisiana, Pribula will look great!onemizzou wrote: ↑30 Nov 2025 10:48 am Curious what all the Pribula haters will say when they announce that he's getting hand surgery when the season is over. The kid was throwing dimes in the first 5 games then all of a sudden he was mediocre at best. The rumors of his hand injury appear to be true and maybe it won't require surgery but Pribula can certainty throw the ball when healthy. Throw in an oline that can actually pass block and everyone will suddenly forget that he "sucks".
Pavia had 20 rushes yesterday. He had eight games of double digit rushes. Half of those were 15+
You don't really watch the games do you?Red Bird Classic wrote: ↑30 Nov 2025 11:45 amYeah.

Too bad the Tigers aren't in the Sunbelt conference.
Yeah, and if he had a hand injury that severely limited his ability to throw, he shouldn't have been playing. But I guess that would be OK for Eli. Perfect in fact. Run, run, run. That works against Arky. Not so much against Auburn and the 4 teams they lost to.Red Bird Classic wrote: ↑30 Nov 2025 11:45 amYeah.

Watched every game, panful as some of them were. Even though his long throws were always late or off target, Pribula did okay against weak defenses with little pass rush. Once he had to face down SEC defenses like Bama and Vandy, he crumbled, fumbled, and generally looked like the back-up QB, Penn State didn't mind losing.onemizzou wrote: ↑30 Nov 2025 18:46 pmYou don't really watch the games do you?Red Bird Classic wrote: ↑30 Nov 2025 11:45 amYeah.

Basically you're saying that if we had an oline that could pass block we'd have been better, which I agree with. Second, I think it's pretty clear that Beau hand the hand injury that has been rumored. Had you ACTUALLY watched the games you would have seen how well Beau delivered the ball when is hand was good then all of a sudden he wasn't throwing the ball very well. Finally, the OC is dirt, when you're receivers are constantly covered like a blanket there is a problem with your ability to scheme. Kirby has to go and Drink has to get some serious Oline talent on the roster. If that happens, THEN you can blame Beau.Red Bird Classic wrote: ↑30 Nov 2025 18:55 pmWatched every game, panful as some of them were.

I have nothing against Pribula. He's probably a good kid with high character. But he's not an SEC caliber starting QB.
Just a fact.
You sight rumors that conveniently suggest an injury that coincides with the Tigers stepping up in class, playing SEC defenses instead of blood donors (and they weren't even good punching bags--none had a winning record). But No one, not Pribula, Drink, or anyone connected to the team or in the media has reported anything about a hand injury.onemizzou wrote: ↑30 Nov 2025 19:56 pmBasically you're saying that if we had an oline that could pass block we'd have been better, which I agree with.

Cook had an injured hand last season but I don't recall anything anywhere about an injured throwing hand for Pribula.Red Bird Classic wrote: ↑30 Nov 2025 21:51 pmYou sight rumors that conveniently suggest an injury that coincides with the Tigers stepping up in class, playing SEC defenses instead of blood donors (and they weren't even good punching bags--none had a winning record).

Anyone with eyes should have seen that Pribula frequently overlooked open receivers, was consistently late on deep throws, had a habit of starring down receivers, and got jumpy when pressured.
There was no injury. But When the competition stiffed, Pribula was exposed for the run only OB Penn State said he was, and the Tigers passing game collapsed.
