It looks as if long snapper Beau Brinkley and reserve linebacker Will Ebner won't play for a second straight game when Missouri faces McNeese State on Saturday night in the Tigers' home opener in Columbia. But coach Gary Pinkel didn't use the word “suspension.” Read more: http://campuscorner.kansascity.com/node/1143#ixzz0ylciXlp8

ST. LOUIS — Missouri wide receiver T.J. Moe looked like he had gone 12 rounds instead of four quarters. Twice, Illinois defenders separated Moe’s helmet from his head, which led to two impromptu medical procedures on the sidelines to stitch up gashes on his chin.

ST. LOUIS | No one’s words — or actions — cut closer to the heart of Missouri’s 23-13 victory over Illinois on Saturday than those of Carl Gettis. “We came out with our ‘A’ game in the second half,” said Gettis, a senior cornerback who made an acrobatic interception in the fourth quarter.

ST. LOUIS | Blaine Gabbert didn’t mean it as a metaphor. How could he? He’s a quarterback, not a philosopher, and if he wanted to get his Shakespeare on about where the Missouri football team was and where it is going, he probably wouldn’t do it in front of a bunch of reporters

Did Pinkel make the Washington decision? It seemed out of character for Missouri coach Gary Pinkel — a man who prides himself on sticking by his players — to have unilaterally decided that starting tailback and captain Derrick Washington be permanently suspended before his charge of deviate sexual assault was adjudicated.

Key play: On third and 6 at the Missouri 35, Illinois was called for a false start. MU’s Jacquies Smith was then called for a late hit on quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase. That gave Illinois an automatic first down and led to Derek Dimke’s 21-yard field goal that gave Illinois a 3-0 lead.

MISSOURI 23, ILLINOIS 13

ST. LOUIS | Missouri intercepted three Nathan Scheelhaase passes, recovered his fumble and the Tigers came up with just enough offense to win 23-13 this afternoon at the Edward Jones Dome.

ST. LOUIS | It's going to be strange not hearing Sean Weatherspoon on the field during this morning's Arch Rivalry Game between Missouri and Illinois. He sang in stretching. He unleashed primal screams.

There was good news and bad news for two former Missouri Tiger football players on Friday. While the New Orleans Saints are not expected to announce their final cuts until today, two people familiar with the club’s roster moves told the Associated Press that quarterback Patrick Ramsey will be let go.

COLUMBIA | A smattering of reporters stood in front of Jerrell Jackson as he explained how he planned to play in Missouri’s season opener less than a month after breaking a bone at the base of his left thumb. Jackson assured them he could catch passes with a protective cast on his left hand. But again and again, Jackson’s gaze strayed to the doughnut-shaped mass of reporters surrounding a teammate. Jackson couldn’t see that fellow Tiger, but he knew who it was.

The University of Missouri will not allow Derrick Washington to return to the Tigers’ football team, even though there has been no resolution made public regarding a class C felony charge against Washington for deviate sexual assault. The move surprised Washington’s family, said his mother, Sarah.

Derrick Washington is being done wrong by Missouri, and he can blame Ricky Clemons.

The story about this Saturday — when Illinois quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase strolls onto the Edward Jones Dome carpet, faces a hell-bent Missouri defense and takes his first snap as a Big Ten starter — begins with the young protagonist fighting back tears.

Tony Mitchell — a top small-forward recruit out of Dallas — won't be eligible to play basketball at Missouri for the fall semester, but MU Coach Mike Anderson isn't closing off all options for later on.

Gary Pinkel says he is embarrassed by the Missouri football team’s extensive summer rap sheet. It includes shoplifting, trespassing, sexual assault and three DWIs — all statistics are current through happy hour yesterday. Pinkel says he is responsible for the behavior of his 120 players and coaches.

Their worlds divided by 20-something miles and the Missouri River, Blaine Gabbert had no visual evidence that T.J. Moe actually existed. All he knew were the numbers that would make Moe the fantasy football deity of Missouri high schools.

Senior tailback Derrick Washington will never carry the ball again for Missouri. The co-captain has been permanently suspended from the program, MU announced in a news release.

The attorneys for suspended Missouri tailback Derrick Washington issued a press release Monday indicating that Washington was never served with the order of protection filed against him by the woman who says he sexually assaulted her.
