Excuses:

1. Bo was sick. It completely limited our offense.
2. Defense was gassed. (See #1 for reason)
3. Officials sucked. (Typical Penn Wagers) They raped our WRs all night and nobody threw a flag.
4. Mizzou is good.

Me either. I was sitting in the stadium in the 3rd qtr like I don't even care anymore.

ETA: #sidewalker

The only parts that really bother me are:

#1 The drops. Donte and Laquon both dropped sure TDs as well as several other completions that could have sustained drives.

#2 The playcalling. Freeze continued to run up the middle even after it was obvious in the 2nd half that the edge was our only chance of success on the ground.

In the 2nd qtr I was like "Hugh is just keeping them honest and setting up plays"

3rd qtr I was like "FUUUUUUUU"

The drops have been a common theme for Donte this year. We've got to score when we get inside the 10 bottom line. We had chances when we didn't play out best. The better team one but we aren't that far away.

Mizzou is a good team. It was one of the least entertaining games I've been to.

I don't have a voice this morning.

I'm fairly certain I was the only person still screaming on Mizzou's last drive.

Even my buddy a couple rows up who kept yelling, "You can't stop Ritter, you can only hope to contain him!" had gone home. LoL

I still had faith, though I'm not sure why.

I had a blast. I just wish our offense had come through on a couple of those missed opportunities. The redzone offense makes me cringe. I've pretty much given on hope when we get inside the 10.

We have the fastest group of RB in school history and we run them up the middle 80% of the time. I think they could do damage on the edge inside the 10 yd line.

I wonder how many touchdowns/catches/yards MONCRIEF would have if he could catch.

I for one think we lost the game more than Mizzou won. But I give them all the credit in the world for stopping us 3 times inside the 10.

We really could of used Jordan Wilkins this year. Hopefully he kills it next year.

Mizzou is a good team. I wouldn't let it bother y'all too much.

The only thing that is a significant problem is the student section attendace. We have the same problem, but only in smaller games.

I saw this pic of the student section during the 3rd quarter, when the game was not even close to being over:



ETA: Obviously, this isn't a problem anymore this year.

Mackey graduated. He was really good and we miss him a lot.

I am sure moncrief will torch us...but I have not really been impressed with him this season. Kind of doubting him as a pro prospect now. But apparently he is still projected to go high. He looks scared to go in the middle of the field.

Someone's sensitive. Just saying I am not sure if he is a first or second round quality guy. Not exactly bashing him.

The student section has been great for all the other SEC games this season, idk what the problem was last night. I think everyone got too cold because they were dumbasses and didn't dress warm enough.
