Schadenfreude – It’s What for Breakfast
The Morning Commute for Wednesday, October 9th
Welcome to the Morning Commute
Today we’re talking about schadenfreude. At least I am, because it helps me cope when my team gets pantsed like the Tigers did last Saturday at Texas A&M. If you haven’t seen this week’s SEC Shorts video, check it out below. The SEC Shorts team takes great pleasure in delighting over Vanderbilt’s massive win over #1 Alabama, and their send-up of the subject matter is great entertainment.
It’s a great reminder of no matter how bad you’re feeling about your team’s demise, it can always be worse. Right? Please tell me it can’t get worse!
Piling onto the ‘Bama angst is a weekly column from the AL.com paper about the fashion choices of first-year Crimson Tide coach Kalen DeBoer. Wow, people are uptight down there when they lose one game they weren’t expecting to.
Yesterday at Rock M and Rock M+
- Consider yourself a glutton for punishment? Then share your pain with Nate Edwards as he breaks down the Tigers’ no-show at Texas A&M in his weekly Beyond the Box Score.
What can you learn about a game that went into garbage time after the first play of the second half? I’d argue: not much.
Give Nate credit for trying to come up with some positive analytics from that game. Even though it was mostly fruitless, it was a solid effort.
- Trying to approach the blood letting at College Station with some levity is a challenging task, but Josh Matejka does it admirably with his weekly Revue column.
Anyway, the comical nature of Mizzou’s failing to show up has fully set in after 48 hours of rumination, and it reminds of a I Think You Should Leave sketch in which the premise of a high quality performance is immediately abandoned for something far more sad and somewhat sinister.
How many ways can you replicate a kick to the groin in one article? I don’t know what the world record is, but Josh gave it his best shot.
- Hoops season is fast approaching, and Sam Snelling brings you his continuing series of opponent previews. Yesterday featured the Alabama State Hornets.
In the past, Missouri teams have used this game as a forgettable getaway game. Last year it was Central Arkansas, a few years back it was Chicago State, I remember Kim Anderson’s last team beating Arkansas Pine Bluff 78-25 on December 29th. I don’t think Alabama State will be that bad, but they won’t be that good either.
The Hornets play at Mizzou Arena on December 30th to wrap up the non-conference portion of the schedule.
- Yesterday’s Morning Commute by Sammy Stava featured TV/kick time designations for Mizzou’s Homecoming game against Auburn and a look at the complete schedule for all of Mizzou’s fall sport programs.
We’ll know a lot more about this team the following Saturday. Mizzou’s Homecoming game against Auburn will kick-off at 11:00 a.m. or 11:45 a.m. CST. It will either be on ESPN or the SEC Network.
- Coach Drinkwitz and Tiger players met with the local media on Tuesday. Check out what they had to say.
- Bookmark this page as Football Central to keep tabs on all the content produced by Rock M Nation leading up to Mizzou’s game this Saturday at UMass. Wait, at UMass? Yes, he said at UMass.
- Catch what was discussed Tuesday at Tiger Talk right here.
- Over at Rock M+, we’re talking about football and how many games it takes to establish an identity, as well as pre-season picks related to the upcoming hoops season.

Schadenfreude – It’s What for Breakfast

Notes from Tiger Talk: UMass
The first post-loss edition of Tiger Talk focused on the defensive side of the ball.
With a trip to UMass on the horizon for Mizzou football, head coach Eli Drinkwitz, linebackers coach DJ Smith and linebacker Corey Flagg Jr. joined Mike Kelly on this week’s edition of “Tiger Talk”.
Here are some of the highlights.
Eli Drinkwitz | Head coach
- We need to tell ourselves the truth if we want to grow moving forward
- Essentially none of what the team had been preaching showed up against Texas A&M
- Can’t dwell on the past
- Nothing worse than the result of 100-hour weeks being huge losses like Saturday’s
- Getting knocked down is inevitable. Getting up is your choice
- This is the most parity I’ve seen in the SEC during my time in the conference (two seasons at Auburn, five at Mizzou). Other coaches will tell you that NIL and the transfer portal has increased the competitiveness this season
- The offense hasn’t been consistent enough on first and second down to be in a positive position on third down
- Especially with so many shifts and motions pre-snap, Mizzou was trying to create something on offense too hard instead of just letting the players play
- It’s not about establishing the run or establishing the pass. It’s about establishing touchdowns
- Appreciative of Marquis Johnson playing despite his ankle injury, which limits his greatest asset — speed. If he was 100%, he would’ve returned that kickoff in the second half against Texas A&M for a touchdown instead of it going 63 yards
- At defensive back, need to find consistency with rotations. Nic DeLoach has earned the opportunity to start opposite of Dreyden Norwood. Everyone should be feeling a little bit of pressure every day to get better.
DJ Smith | Co-Defensive Coordinator/Linebackers Coach
- Need to start with the basics in terms of what we need to clean up schematically. Need to check yourself, have a low ego and high output (Writer’s note: this is something Flagg talked about earlier in the day at Mizzou’s weekly press conference. Was very apologetic for, in his words, trying to make a play versus trusting the defense that was called.)
- Chuck Hicks has fostered maturity within the linebacker room, especially with the younger guys. Has become a buffer from player to coach to player to player.
Corey Flagg Jr. | Linebacker
- Faith in Christ has been a great guide. Went to church twice a week growing up. Father works day in and day out, consistent in his faith, the forefront of the household.
- Looked for a place to call home when transferring from Miami (FL). Good customer service at HyVee made me feel at home. Also told Mike Kelly over the summer that he believed Mizzou could win a national title this year and wanted to help push the team to the finish line.
- Respect the hell out of Brady Cook. He’s the leader of this team.
- Has found a good fishing spot in Columbia. It’s man-made, but won’t tell where.
