Or will you be part of the old guard that will maintain that, injuries, scheduling and luck made the stars align once again?


In some year, all that does happen. It's happened to most of us at some point or another. Wouldn't you rather beat everyone at their best? Sure, you'll take the wins as will anyone but it's much sweeter, IN MY OPINION, to take everyone down at full force.

I'm not sure why you guys have so much trouble with folks pointing out facts about last season. Mizz won the East title during UTs worst run ever, a UG season where the offense was decimated with injuries and a UF season with no offense, a 4th string QB and 70 starts missed due to injuries. Those are just facts. Mizz may have won anyway last year had those facts not existed. We'll never know.

Congrats on the East title and hang that banner with pride.

LOL. Probably because everybody, and I mean everybody gave you a pass, saying "Injuries! Injuries!"

Yet, nobody, and I mean nobody ever gave us any acknowledgement of our INJURY plagued 5-7 season.

The simple fact is, there is a lot of old guard mentality. If UF has a bad year, there are acceptable reasons why. If Mizzou has a good year, there are excuses allowed for the old guard that Mizzou is not privileged to take.
