Mrs. Davis certainly has a nice ‘ring’ to it.
Life is better with

Thanks to everyone who came from near and far to help give Mr. and Mrs. Davis a perfect day and weekend.

QBs since 2000 to throw for 1,000+ yds while completing at least 70% of passes w/o an INT in first 4 games of a season:

He's gone 10 straight games w/o an INT - the longest such streak by a

The 203 yards
@MizzouFootball
allowed yesterday were its fewest ever allowed in an SEC road game, and its fewest allowed in a true road game since 2009 at Colorado (176).
How about this:
Over the last 19 games,
@MizzouFootball
is 14-5.
A key reason:
#Mizzou
is limiting opponents to just 3.36 yards per rush in that span.
For perspective, Alabama is 16th nationally this season, allowing 3.36 yards per carry.
To contextualize Brady Cook's start, here are the first 5 gms for two different

- 1,468 yds
- 74.5%
- 14 total TDs
- 0 INT
QB2

- 15 total TDs
- 1 INT
QB1: Cook (w/o playing 2nd half vs SD)

#Mizzou
RB Tyler Badie ranks ninth nationally (sixth in Power 5) among true FR in all-purpose yards (84.5 per game).
That is the top mark of any freshman in the SEC.
Also, he is averaging 120.5 over his last two games.
Since 2009, there has been just one
@MizzouFootball
QB to post 350+ yards of total offense, 3 or more TDs and 0 turnovers in a win over a ranked opponent.
That QB is Brady Cook.
Franklin did it twice in losing efforts during the 2011 season.
Think about the last decade (2011-20) in Missouri sports
- 2011 Cards (4 NLCS appearances)
- 2013/14 Mizzou SEC East Champs
- 2015 Royals (and two ALCS)
- 2019 Blues win Stanley Cup
- 2020 Chiefs go to Super Bowl
Have a chance to see all four major pro teams win a title
I didn't think we'd get one better than the K-State vid.
But we did. Tombstone. Bad Company. The trolling. Just amazing.

1. Bolton's play on the field alone should win him the Butkus.
2. If you take into account his academics (3.8 student), leadership (team captain), and his incredible story overcoming adversity, he's a no-brainer for the award.
3. He's the baddest dude on the field every game.
Nick Bolton was Academic All-District last year (as was Badie).
This year, Badie should be an Academic All-American & is SEC Scholar Athlete of the Year.

Words are tough rn, but Chad is an absolute legend. The true 🐐
He taught me so much about the job, but more importantly how to carry myself. A lot of stuff is thrown at SIDs, - he handled it all with grace & class.
And man, we all had fun. Gamedays won't be same w/o my friend
Among those laid off, longtime Mizzou media relations director & football contact Chad Moller. He'd been furloughed since June. Chad was at Mizzou for 25 years, was Norm Stewart's SID back when that was a term.
A good man, widely admired by his peers & those who worked under him
Drew Lock is the first Power 5 QB with at least three TD passes in seven straight games since Oregon State Sean Mannion did so in the first seven games of 2013.
Chad Moller being inducted into the Hall of Fame is the absolute best news I've heard all year.
A friend, a mentor and an all-round great dude loved and respected by many. Congrats
