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+

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.


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.


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.


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.
