It was a fun week of back and forth on the SECr. Very entertaining. I can never have an ill will for Tennessee with my ties and roots there.

I think you all will be pretty darn good next year. Look forward to seeing you in Columbia next year.

I agree Kilo, it was a fun week. Unfortunately it was littered with the sexual assault news. Would have loved to play you guys with AJ in command. Good Luck the rest of the way.

Sure hope we can really progress on the Oline for next year. Other than that I think we will be okay with most of our players having another year under their belt (and in some cases their FIRST full off season).

I agree but I respect the way in which your program handled things there. There is a lot of background noise on the SECr but Butch and your AD handled that well.

We have obviously and unfortunately been down that road with our program recently as well. I wish we could/would have handled things differently. Was glad to see the staff and AD tell DGB to take a hike.

There are more important things than football.

Agreed.

Once again, y'all were too much for us to handle. I really don't think you can understate the job Gary Pinkel has done the last two years. Talk about maximizing what you've got to work with.

Good game Kilo.

DL looked like Cheetas last night.
The ribbing on tRant was good for some laughs. Good luck the rest of the way

Amen to that. Too many other schools would not have done so. Much respect.

Also, said it before, but much respect to the fan base. So many others use it as an excuse. Prefer to have him there? Of course. But there wasn't much if any whining last week. UT fans say next man up. Much respect.

We missed a lot of our guys but what can you do? I mean it definitely effected our game but stuff like that and injuries + targetting suspensions are a part of the game. Next man up is the only real way you can deal with because again it's a part of the game. I do think it overwhelmed our young team a bit more than I thought it would (we truly had a freaking circus going on - worst I've ever seen TBH - over the AJ thing) but they didn't fold either and I'm not sure you could ask for much more. And again, moving beyond that is a part of the game.

Mizzou's D played amazing even given our lousy line. Speed is speed and our OL never gave our guys a chance (they couldn't - Mizzou was too good and we were too bad).

Overall it was a good game and Mizzou deserved the win, imo. Now go beat Arky!
