re: Why do Missouri fans need so much validation?

I know we have to treat fanbases as monoliths here on the Rant, but I think there were a lot of Mizzou fans who admitted we got beat by Kentucky. Maybe I'm wrong.

It's...not even close. I certainly am.

Mauk didn't have a horrible game because UK dropped 3 easy interceptions

Lock had 5 passes, one that should have went to the other team.

Lock's sack was hardly all his fault, pressure up the middle is difficult to handle for any QB, especially a Freshman.

Losing -15 or whatever is pretty much exclusively on the quarterback on third down.

I'll accept the UK victory when one of their fans admits that the bullshite PI penalty against Penton changed the entire game.

They shoulda turned it over 4 times, so your shoulda is completely invalid, baw.

There were the same ones who remain pretty level headed. But there were also plenty that discounted it as another "Indiana". And still continue to talk shite about Kentucky like the game didn't happen or won't matter in conference play.

You better tell the Tigerloon that the PI call (no idea what he's talking about) is the reason UK won or he's going to continue to be butthurt.

You took an FCS team into overtime, it certainly looks like an Indiana at the moment.

One PI call (when there were other bad calls against UK later) in the 3rd quarter kept your team from sealing the deal ah?

When did we start ending games in the 3rd quarter? Did I miss that memo?

Treon Harris coming in for Jeff Driskel last year for the Gators. "We finally have a QB!!!", same results. Lock looks serviceable, but he doesn't look like a world beater yet. "Different team, team plays harder." Holy shite it is the exact same thing.

I've seen a Treon Harris pass. I've seen a Drew Lock pass. There's no comparison. We'll put you in the "don't know shite about football" category.

Predict the Gators final record and post season play
I posted before the season that 10-2 was a possibility for this team if the QB play improved and the O-line held up. I stand by this although 11-1 or 12-0 is now on the table.

Mizzou - take care of business
LSU - toughest game remaining
Bye
UG - With win at Mizzou and even a loss to LSU, playing for possible East title, we got this
Vandy - should win
USC - should win, HBC?
FAU - win
FSUcks - win in the Swamp

Delusional

Almost only counts in hand grenades and horseshoes.

So until Indiana moves to the SEC and is sitting above you in the SEC standings, I'm pretty sure we're still Kentucky.

It's not totally about the quarterback all the time. There are also times where you have to consider your receivers, your running backs, your oline.

Your quarterback can only do so much, and watching you guys get swamped by Kentucky and then held to a pitiful performance by South Carolina (they're giving up, on average, somewhere around the 400 yard mark and you didn't even get to 300) -- it doesn't give you pause?

A single player cannot win against a team. All I'm saying is I've seen this narrative. Players run the ball differently, we can move the ball and get first downs, we're a better team with x. It's the exact same narrative, but if the rest of the team doesn't produce, you'll see.
