Is anyone else NOT surprised by Missouri's level of play this year?

We knew how good Missouri was in the Big 12 before we jumped to the SEC. Last year was a serious injury bug problem that didn't show us the true Mizzou colors.
Anybody else not surprised?

I think we saw glimpses of Mizzou's potential last year (UF and UGA), it shouldn't shock anyone that a healthy Missouri is one of the league's premier teams.

Most haters had never watched a Mizzou game.
But they knew so much about us.
Kind of a typical thing in society.

Let's be honest. They haven't played a solid D yet. Let the season play out before we crown a champ.

Our level of play has been good so far, but these next three home games will separate us from the good and the bad. If we can get a win in a big game with Mauk (#2 qb) then I will be sold on mizzou. Being good in the SEC means being able to adjust and keep playing at a high level when adversity strikes. Next few weeks are huge in defining mizzou in the sec. all about dat depth.

I don't think about MO like ever. Just one week a year.

I'm not.
Injuries ruined them last year so as long as they are healthy they should be pretty good.

Missouri won the Big 12 North a bunch of times and was even ranked #1 in the country at one point during the 2007 season. It was crazy how a lot of people were acting like the SEC had invited Iowa State. They are a much better addition to the SEC than West Virginia would have been. Their football programs are around the same level but Mizzou has a better overall athletic program, superior academics and adds a lot more money to the table due to their market size.

I thought they would be much better (last year just too many injuries) but I probably would not have put money on a 6-0 start. Lot of tough games left, but they are legit.

It was just a matter of time.
Many from the SEC didn't have a clue about the Tigers from CoMo, so they played the "I'm uninformed; I'll just slam 'em" card.
Coupled with their hoops program, Mizzou was a solid get for the conference.

I thought for sure this would be Pinkels last year at Mizzou, so I was surprised by their winning yes.

Not surprised. How could any Aggie be surprised when they routinely kicked A&M's butts in the later years of the B12? I'm glad to see them healthy and more successful... until Nov. 30, of course.

I am pleased with their performance.
It should be known that the SEC defenses are collectively down this year. Enjoy it. Are playing well.

I'm not too surprised, really. Mizzou has had way too much success in recent years under Pinkel to just fall off the cliff like it appeared last season. They had a lot of injuries last year, so I could see that having a big impact.
I will say also, though I expected them to rebound back to winning seasons, I didn't expect them to jump back THIS much! That wierd-o OC they had last season must have had them all screwed up....

They have to actually play a decent team before one may refer to "level of play".

I have posted this before. Don't underestimate Missouri. We did in the Big 12 and they proceeded to beat us regularly.
We don't anymore and Nov 30 in Columbia will be a tough game.
I would like to suggest to Pinkel that he keep Franklin out of that game and save him for the bowl game.
It seems like they have a Texas pipeline for QB's.
Knock it off.

Not surprised at all. Last year there was discussion of them winning the East in their inaugural season. They were supposed to do what A&M did. The East is still in transition with Florida not quite back to form and Georgia losing so much on D, although it is more stable than it was a year ago. This year really should have set up to be Mizzou's year.
It's funny how we quickly forget.
Given their success in the Big-12 they should be expected by anyone who knows college football to be at least a middle tier SEC program with banner years when they have seasoned qb's like this one.
The issue with that offense is always keeping the qb healthy in a league with physical fronts. It's going to be tough unless you get a guy like JFF who simply can't be hit solidly or a Cam Newton who just runs over people.
What I am surprised by is their defense. They play with a chip on their shoulder and look to have maybe the best pass rush in the league. Will be interesting to see them play a team who can actually run the ball consistently (Georgia even before injuries never truly commits to the run like they should IMO).
Georgia's a great win. However, as with Mississippi State last year let's keep in mind their schedule up to this point.
