Quillback

Yeah I'm scratching my head wondering why he wasn't pulled, at least in the 4th quarter. But I don't blame BA, the coaches need to make that call.

Seemed to me to be a sloppy, penalty and turnover laden game. But once Mauk started hitting his recievers, Mizzou started looking very efficient. AR's secondary has problems with big, athletic receivers, it's like watching a bunch of Smurf's trying to cover a bunch or Terrell Owens like receivers. Mizzou's D-line outplayed AR's vaunted O-line in the 2nd half, run game fizzled out and once AR was forced to rely on Allen's arm, things became grim. Sure didn't help that Allen was playing hurt and was getting progressively worse as the game went on. Should've put the younger brother in for BA in the 2nd half. I don't know if it would have changed the outcome, but BA was too hurt to be effective. In spite of this disappointing outcome, I'll be rooting for Mizzou in the SEC championship game. If, somehow, Mizzou pulls it out, the resulting controversy about whether a Mizzou SEC champion should be in the playoff will be wonderful!

Thanks for the story, man that sounds painful!

Thanks for the report - that's a good day.

I also hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. I might be out there tomorrow in the Big M to Kings stretch in a silver/black Phoenix.

Nice one!

Sorry to hear that, but hopefully it will work itself out and you can make it.

Yeah Hoglaw you're right, the passing game problems go beyond just BA, I should not just name him as the problem. And in truth there aren't very many outstanding college QB's out there this year. That game last week, that TD pass that BA threw to one of the receivers (I can't remember who it was, maybe it was Hatcher) was a thing of beauty. Perfect pass and the WR stretched out and made a great catch.

I'm OK with BA if the Hogs are leading or close, but if they get behind and are in a situation where they have to score some points through the air that's where my confidence in him drops significantly. But I'd rather see BA than AA starting this game for sure.

A few years ago I was fishing with my buddy Jeb over on Beaver, it was early spring and I was throwing a jerk bait. I had just caught a nice 3-4 lb. walleye, threw back into the same spot, worked the bait back to the boat, paused it right at the side of the boat, and that bait suddenly disappeared, saw the front portion of the fish, I'm pretty sure it was a very big walleye - but I'll never know as the line parted with I lifted my rod to set the hook. Must have been a fray in the line or something.

Yeah they seem to like it for some reason. They like the Ned rig also. I keep expecting to hook a big wallie one of these days on a jerk bait.

The water is stained where I was fishing yesterday, so I decided on the more visible color. I like to throw the ghost colors in clear water. Not many smallies in the White channel like you see down lake - I wish there were more.

It was a tough one for me, started about 10 AM and fished until 4 PM, just to catch 2 bass and one walleye. One bass was about 3 lbs., the other was a 14" smallie. Had quite a few chasers today, had 5 bass chase the jerkbait to the boat, and a couple chase a spinner bait. Must not have liked the colors or sizes I was throwing. I think next time out I may try a shad rap, or some smaller jerk baits. Might have to start poking around with the Ned a bit also. The few fish I did find were 2/3 of the way back in coves with some shad around. Water temps 52-53.

2 more days to go, I think I'll be fishing Friday so I'll have to record it and remember to keep the radio off on the way home.

I'll sign up to bring ketchup, tartar sauce, mustard, cole slaw, paper plates, cups, forks, salt and pepper.

Good job Bo - glad to hear you got into them.

Welcome!

This is also a problem for me. As a matter of fact I just looked at some Flitterbaits - Google it if you dare.

My dream would be to see four 16 team conference, each conference having two 8 team divisions. Division winners meet for the conference championship, 4 conference champs playoff for the title. I know, it's just a dream.

Turnovers are always a factor that can turn what could be a close game, into a blow out either way. Hard to predict them.

Anyone seen a line on this game? I'd think since they are at Mizzou, that Mizzou will be favored. Hogs did not run the ball well early in the game with Ole Miss, Ole Miss D line played well and it appears Mizzou's D line is very capable. If the Hogs have to get it done through the air, well that's a scary thought. Hogs D has obviously been playing well. Could be a low scoring game, along the lines of 10-7 or 17-10.

Some great fish - I made the mistake yesterday of thinking that the weather forecast calling for rain all day was going to be correct, so I did not go. Looks like it turned out to be a great day to be on the water. I had to console myself by watching football.

I'm looking forward to the game. Brandon Allen got knocked out of the game yesterday with a bad back, hopefully he'll be back next week.

That Eagle Rock to point 23 stretch has been squirrely lately. Get up near the Kings and the bite is better. Kings gets a lot of pressure, I think just about every fishy looking bank gets 3-4 boats a day stop by and fish it.

I would welcome you, but seeing that you're an Alabama fan, I am having 2nd thoughts. Just kidding - Welcome to a great site!
