Mike comes to our church sometimes b/c his brother Tom is the associate pastor. We fund his missions as well. Dr. Oakes has come down before numerous times and we've taken him out to lunch. He's a pretty interesting guy.

figured you'd at least heard of them since it's so small

missourivol · 10-31-2007, 07:47 PM

So do you actually live in KC or one of the suberbs like Liberty. This is really strange on how small the world can be.

I live in Raymore if you know where that is. It's a small world...after all

missourivol · 10-31-2007, 07:51 PM

Are you talking about Raymore-Peculiar. If so boy are yall having a rough year from what I hear up here.

KCVolLaw · 10-31-2007, 07:55 PM

Well yea I used to go to Ray-Pec. I'm pretty sure we have a losing record this year but trust me it was expected. I played some backyard football with 5 or 6 of the starters on this years team a while back and dominated them by myself. And I never played football...they're terrible. Chase Coffman's younger brother should be QB next year and that's when you will see us come back. But I won't care. I'm transferring from UMKC to UT in January.

missourivol · 10-31-2007, 11:25 PM

yeah they are like 3-6. So how good is Coffman's bro. I am originaly from TN but went into the military and ended up in MO. So why does Mizzou loose most of their instate talent to other teams. Is there any reasons on your side of the state why Gabbert went Neb instead of Mizzou first.

Little Coffman is supposed to be the greatest QB to ever don a Ray-Pec jersey. We'll see about that though...Mizzou has always just been a school that was walking the line between really good and just plain mediocre. They're only starting to see they're full potential recently. As for why they're starting to keep instate talent I think it's just a direct effect of how good they've been doing. They own St. Louis right now but are still average in KC. They've gotten Temple, Coffman, Derrick Washington recently from RP, but they definetely don't have RP locked down since we had an OL and the other Coffman go to K-State. I didn't follow Gabbert that much so I'm really not sure about him. Maybe he just wanted to get away from home?

We will see but that side of the state gets tougher and tougher every year. So whats making you transfer to UT. I havent asked Mr. Worstell about all this yet. I bet he thinks it will be funny. So if UT could land Gabbert do you think we could make a small pipeline into MO. That would be interesting since this is where every other school except Mizzou take their depth from.

jmc13volfan · 11-02-2007, 10:15 AM

I just wanted to add that I grew up a tiger fan and transferred to UT to finish school. Mizzou has let a lot of instate talent slip through the cracks in years past but lately the numbers have started to change. If you look at the Mizzou starting offense 10 of 11 starters are all instate kids. I think that 6 starting defensive players are instate as well. Mizzou is on the map now and kids like Gabbert are taking notice. If he commits to UM don't be surprised to see 2-4 other blue chip prospects to follow him. He has taken several unofficial trips to UM these last few weeks and he is close with other big name players. Dalton has stated that he plans on comming to UM no matter who they take. Besides I think Dalton will redshirt and sit for a year anyway.

Well I don't know Mike personally but my church is Southview Christian so he'll at least recognize that. Who was the last player UT got out of Missouri. I can't even think of one off the top of my head. I'd bet my life we don't get Gabbert, but as for pipelines you never know. We have pipelines everywhere. Also I tried to talk Chase into going to UT and he just kind of looked at me weird. I don't think they ever went after him. I'm transferring b/c I'm just kind of tired of being here and my father is a UT alum and I've always wanted to go so I figured why wait any longer.

welcome to the board.

Thanks, I read posts all the time I just don't respond much. I hope you enjoy UT. I did, and Knoxville has really grown on me so my wife and I decided to stay here after we graduated. It really is a special place once you get familiar with it.

Yes, I can't wait to get there. Knoxville is basically my second home. Most of my extended family is there and we at least make trips to knoxville twice a year or so. I will admit I'm still a little nervous to get there no matter how familiar I am with the area. But I'm sure things will turn out fine.

jmc13volfan · 11-05-2007, 02:52 PM

Good luck with the move at least you know the area. I had to learn everything on my own basically. If you like to play golf look me up I know that part of Knoxville very well!!
