Since 2006, Missouri has started 7, 8, 9, 9, 11, 9, 10, 8, 9, 9, 7, 5, 4, 2, 2, 5, and 5 white players. In 2023, the Tigers are starting just two... but what a pair!

I can confidently say that you will never again see a team with only a pair of white starters playing at the two most prominent positions.

Schrader will begin the season again as the lead back after tallying 768 yds and 9 touchdowns last year. Cook, a dual-threat QB, rushed for 6 touchdowns on 774 yds (although his true total is offset by sacks). He also threw for about 210 yds/game with 14 touchdowns against 7 picks (in 13 games).

Missouri will be an underdog against most of its schedule. Hopefully, our two guys hog the ball!

Starters:
QB: Brady Cook
RB: Cody Schrader

Backups:
QB: Jake Garcia, Sam Horn
WR: Logan Muckey
TE: Ryan Hoerstkamp, Max Whisner, Brett Norfleet
OL: Connor Tollison, Mitchell Walters, Logan Riechert

DE: Ben Straatman, Austin Firestone

Skattebo and Schrader couldn’t have ended up on Darker Plantations..

2 White RBs starting on teams that only start 2. Weird.

Again like so many other teams, this is shameful. Missouri was around 81% White 2015. There is zero excuses to not have 4 or 5 White starting offensive lineman each year. They would have a large pool of country strong Whites to build with every year.

Shameful is the correct word. EVERY championship-winning high school team (and pretty much all of the runner-ups as well) in the state are 90% white. Some amazing players too, I went to last year's championship games that are played in Mizzou's stadium! Guess the coaches don't bother to watch, they're too busy jetting down to Florida to try to pick up some scraps.

Which most DWF fans will say is the result of the white teams superior coaching or facilities or something else. I’m sure they wouldn’t say that Missouri might actually have talented white football players in high school

Of course much of this rolls back to the "scouting services" who rank the players. DWF's (and coaches, sadly) rely on these almost exclusively to find out "who is any good" playing HS football. Every D1 team in the country is scrambling to grab the 3, 4 and 5 star recruits who are easily 80%+ black. All of those white teams dominating with outstanding individual performances are pretty much invisible to everyone except the people who line the stands on Friday nights.

For D1 coaches and recruiters, it's easier to do it this way than to scrounge through countless hours of obscure game film to find the gems. That and there is hell to pay with the boosters and alumni if a team has an "F" recruiting grade because they have signed up a bunch of no-name crackas than if they get a dozen highly-rated black players. If the highly-ranked recruits bomb, it's of no consequence. If a no-star white kid takes a scholly and doesn't do well, that's the reason for the whole program's failure.

Might be the most succinct summary of the caste system in football in a site loaded with evidence. Well done

Out of the park grand slam there. Pre-covid when I actually attended the local HS games the local team highlighted this WR that was "getting attention", he literally could not catch a routine pass, while some of his routes were well executed and he would occasionally make a circus catch he was the opposite of money. Fast forward a couple of years a tall white kid that could run and execute a route and was gravity for footballs barely got a sniff.

Recruiting services are the greatest bane to white athletes. They are corrupt cucked companies who only care about their agenda. Look at the cycle- they rank a 16 black kid as a 5* bc he’s bigger and faster than everyone he goes against. Because of this every coach in the country wants to get him but they never really break down his film or realize that he’s already maxed out 95% of his potential as a teenager. When this 5* arrives on campus the coaches are under tremendous amount of pressure to play him so even if he is not standing out in practice he will play over more deserving players. After an unremarkable college career built mainly on hype and excuses he will get drafted by an nfl team bc of his “talent” and “potential” but he has no more potential this player never got that much better yet it does not matter. This is social proofing at its finest. And bc these rankings clearly only focus on one demographic it leads to thousands of better white players every year going under or un-recruited. And the ones that make it on a college roster don’t play bc the 5* is given the benefit of the doubt. And even though the other players are performing better they haver to consistently perform insanely better to overcome the inherent bias. It’s a stacked deck against white athletes. Yes there are 5* who are that good and deserve it but the hit/miss is telling

Yeah Mr. Hoss Mizzou proved that out a few years ago, big whoop on a 5 star WR whose sole route was to run down field congregate next to two other black WR and go for a jump ball thrown by an inept (white) qb. But gets drafted and spent 3 years or so occupying a roster spot. I told my wife he would not make it in the NFL he was that average if that.

After yesterday’s historic performance vs all-coal Tennessee here is what Schrader’s coach had to say- “Absolutely. We're talking about the best player in college football. When was the last time the leading rusher in the SEC on a top-10 team wasn't in the (Heisman) competition?" Drinkwitz thinks this could have been Cody Schrader's Heisman moment if he was voting.
Hmmm why isn’t the best rb in the sec getting any heisman hype? I’ll give him one guess
