Agreed, but seems like it's mostly OM and Ark fans that are finally getting some success and they are picking on UT because you're down.
It is. But they'll get their comeuppance, I promise you this. I'm gonna make them suffer like they won't fricking believe.
They're about to meet Shaft coming over the middle .

For whatever it's worth, I didn't think there was any chance Mizzou could three-peat in the east, until I looked at our schedule. I have actually said that, based on the schedules, the MU/UT game late in the season could be for the east. Might be a situation where UGA can again make the argument they have the best team but the scheduling could bite them in the arse.

UGA has to play BOTH Bama and Auburn so there's a good chance they have 2 SEC losses at minimum. They've had a lot of changes this year and I believe they lost not only their OL coach but some key OL players (not sure about the players). Their oline last year was remarkable in rub blocking, truly a thing of beauty, but the big question is can they replicate it? If so, Chubb et al can run wild.
I do agree that depending on how it all shakes out, the UT/MU game could be for the SECe. The big questions for Mizzou are 1. how's the D gonna shake out with key losses 2. can the new WRs grow up fast.

We lost the OL coach and our center. Playing Bama and AU sucks but we've murdered AU 6 of the last 9 so it won't be unusual if we take one of those two.

Yeah, I could be wrong but I think they lost a couple of their top receivers as well, a couple on the line and their QB obviously (along with Gurley I suppose). I just can't help but see them being so one dimensional that it will come back to bite them. They'll win a ton of games no doubt. But can they win the east only with Chubb? Not so sure of that.

The strength of the D will simply shift. We'll certainly be weaker on the edges but we'll be stronger up the middle. We have 2 guys that potentially could declare for the draft after this year, particularly if they duplicate or improve on last year. Plus, this may be the best group of linebackers and defensive backs combined that I can remember having at Mizzou.
As for the WR's, someone will certainly have to step up, but someone always does. Don't know why, I just don't worry about the WR position as much as the others. It would be nice to have a game changer at WR, which we won't have, but someone will catch 50% of Mauk's passes because he doesn't throw any better than that.

We lost our top 2 receivers but we get back our two speedsters that we were without last year.

We only lost our center.

We'll see how this plays out. The guy replacing Mason has a cannon for an arm but doesn't have his ability to not lose games for us, yet.

You may want to take another look at our roster if you think we only have Chubb.

It's only been about 20 years since a team 3-peated...Florida
92-96, Bama 92-94.

Who? You just agreed that you lost your top 2 receivers and your QB and your center. I know y'all reload each year, but that doesn't change the fact that you're still having to replace those guys.
And don't get me wrong. Chubb is enough to beat any given team on any given day. I just don't think it's enough to do it every weekend. For instance, I could see y'all beat a Bama but then lose to SC.

Sony Michel (rb) the guy who was higher on the depth chart before he got hurt
Malcolm Mitchell (wr) who has been an all sec player before and is coming back from injury
Justin Scott Wesley (wr) who is coming back from an injury but is a former starter
Jeb Blazevich (te) who is one of the best pass catching TEs in the league
The two wrs we lose we replace with guys who have started. Heck Mitchell is a two year starter but was out for last year. JSW was starting the year before until he was injured. Those two are much more dangerous than Bennett or Conley were.

Who knows with us. It does look like we've turned the corner and are starting to enter the arms race with the other premier programs.

Blazevich caught 18 passes last year. There were 8 other tight ends in the SEC who caught more passes than him last season. He looks like he will be a good TE.

Just wait. He's a stud TE. Although, the league is stacked with good TEs.

Don't get me wrong Porter, I think y'all are going to be good. I just don't know how you can say those guys are no brainers for being better than what you had last year. What might make them better is a better QB getting them the ball, but even that's not a no brainer. Time will tell. I think that the thing that hurts UGA more than whether or not they have the "arms" is the schedule.
If you had your option of home games, which do you choose for next year?
a) Bama
b) MSU
c) Arkansas
Which road game do you want next year?
a) Auburn
b) Arkansas
c) Bama
As much as anything else, that's why I think, while it may be a 3 horse race, it may ultimately come down to UT/MU late in the season.

I hear ya. I'm just saying that we still have some guys who can carry us if Chubb can't. I think we'll have some more turnovers this year from Ramsey for sure but we'll also be dangerous enough in the deep passing game to keep teams more honest than we did last year.
And our schedule is definitely the hardest in the East. Too bad USCe can't benefit from it after all those years bitching about it.

Yepp. Don't get me wrong. Not saying anywhere in there that y'all lack talent or aren't good. I'm just not sold on UF in year 1 of a new coach and SC has to show me they fixed last year. I think it comes down to UT/UGA/MU. I also have UGA beating MU FWIW.
Posted on 6/11/15 at 3:27 pm to reedus23
I have no idea who we beat this year. We could run the table just a well as go 7-5.
