re: How long before TAMU or MIZZOU are contenders in SEC football?

Mizzou's best chance is right now while Florida and Tennessee are at all time low's and Georgia is coached by a really nice guy. If things go their way, Mizzou could be an East contender this year. Franklin is no Cam Newton, but he has a very similar skill set that Cam proved could be wildly successful in the SEC. Combine that with an elite offensive weapon in DGB and you have a team no one can take lightly. They WILL beat UGA.

I think Mizzou becomes a permanent middle of the pack team once UF and UT come back though. Mizzou is like Iowa or Arkansas. Decent program that can be competitive every year with strategic recruiting and redshirting, but the distance from the recruiting hot spots will limit their long term potential.
