Mizzou this September

  • Folks, as you can probably tell by my handle, Im a Dawg that has to live in the midwest about 6-7 months out of the year. Thank God i get the other moths in Northwest Georgia. But these folks up here in MIssouri are already putting us in their loss column and i absolutely love it. For some reason I already hate Mizzou and this game seems somewhat uneasy to me because of our suspensions, but i feel like this game will be huge for our season. If we can go into Columbia and control the line of scrimmage and win in their place, the Dawgs season may take off. Questions? Comments? Sept can't get here soon enough! Go Dawgs

  • Just being honest but that game scares the hell out of me. We are going to have guys suspended and as I read in story G posted from last night it may be toughest ticket in school history for them. It is gonna be a tough one. We'd better believe 'dat

    But I'm choosing to focus on the fact that we've got a nasty defensive front & experienced QB. Teams with those two things win on the road especially if we are able to get our RBs going. Plus Mizzou's QB might still be hurt and from what I see they could have an awful time moving on the ball on anyone -- but definitely us -- w/o that guy.

  • We have to remember that Mizzou dont have the best defense and we do have a pretty good offense so even if our defense struggles a little i dont think they will as bad as mizzou's defense will. Also their QB had to have shoulder surgery and its not for sure he's even going to be able to play. Keep that in mind.

  • Eh, don't be scared of what you don't know. I saw Mizzou play and I think we'll roll em along with most other SEC teams they'll play this year. Different ballgame at this level, Tigahs.

    ANd yup if we get by this one and only game left we might not be favored in is the chickens in Columbia.

    STLDawg what kind of town is Columbia Mo? May have a line on tickets and thinking about making the trip for the game.

  • Its a nice little college town. The people up here give it too much credit, but its not a bad place to visit for a college football weekend. You can bet the house that it will be crazy that weekend though. Take notice that Im comparing it to Athens, which i believe has no comparable, but I imagine it would be a pretty good trip to make.

  • In all honesty, they are going to have to prove them selves here in the SEC. There are no easy wins here. I think the hype will play a factor for them, but our hype of wanting to win and show everybody that we want a shot at the NC will be even greater. If UGA can come back and beat florida like they did last year, they can do that with MIZZOU, IF, they go up in points that is. With them replacing so many starters on they're defence, I just dont see how they will be able to stop our Offence. By far they're offence will be the biggest weapon in they're arsenal. But with the talent we have in our front 7 of defence, COME ON MANNN! It makes me more interested in seeing just how much of a "WELCOME" we give them into the SEC east. Playing in they're house is the only thing im really scratching my head about. If we can silence the crowd, we can put the momentum on our side even that much more. Last but not least Mizzou's QB ran alot compared to throwing. Im predicting that our Defence won't allow to much of that at all. CB's and Safety's for us maybe an issue, but with grantham liking how mitchell and swann have come along, im liking our chances of winning way more than they'res! With all that said, DGB might be a great WR recruit, but with his in-experience at the kind of level we are at, odds are in our favor! P.s welcome to the junkyard! SIC'EM DAWGS!

  • My hope is that we absolutely run it down their throat in this ball game. Make em prove that they are physical enough to play with us.

    STLdawg

  • Missouri is not a bad team. Their defense played pretty good on some occasions last season.
    If they can give our run game fits, it could be a very, very close game.

    I expect them to get some yards on us. But I'm not sure if they can convert it into points.
    My fear is them running at our perimeter where we have so many guys suspended.
    If they take the ball to the air too much, we might find some opportunities to create some havoc in their backfield and downfield with some poor throws.

  • also their starting running back henry josey might not be available for that game or the season for that matter. was a big part of their offense last year. He had over 1,000 yards rushing

    I think that's just the natural tendency since you (and most of us) are used to having a somewhat challenging game in the 2nd week of the season in the OTHER Columbia. But this ain't even the Gamecocks we talkin' bout. This is a 7-5 Big 12 team. I just think we're feeling jittery. I really expect that we'll win comfortably out there. Like, 3 TD's.

    In the future maybe you should refer to "defence and " offence " as x's and o's.

  • Mizzou will slot itself nicely in the UK/UT territory for years to come in the East.

    Never going to compete for an east title, but always a threat to pull off an upset.

  • Worrying is like paying on a debt that may never come due. We could collect the "hat trick" next year with tigers. biggrin
