He gives us 40 percent chance to reach SEC Championship game this year.

Says Mizzou has lost its identity because the defense line will suck this year considering Mizzou lost their Defensive Coordinator in the offseason.

Nevermind that Mizzou hired a star defensive coordinator from Memphis who in 3 years turned a terrible defense into a top 25 defense. Nevermind that Odom, the new Defensive Coordinator, played for Mizzou and is a Pinkel guy. Essentially, he came back home for his dream job. He's at Mizzou to fricking kick arse!

Wow...McElroy and the SEC Network are idiots. McElroy totally glossed over the fact that Coach Kul, not Stec, is the brains behind the defensive line and Coach Kul just received a huge pay raise. Totally glossed over the fact that a new elite defensive recruit is on defense and will be coached by the #1 Defensive Line Coordinator in the country. Not to mention that Mizzou has an incredible secondary this year. It may be the best we've ever had.

Yup, they succeeded at triggering me. frick this shite. I'm calling Finebaum today.

Greg M is a total idiot and should have all of his credentials removed at once. Couldn't stand him at Bama and it's worse now.

I was very disappointed in him for saying that. I have no explanation for why he was bothering to talk about Missouri - I guess all of the interesting topics were already covered. Discussing Missouri is just admitting that he has nothing important to talk about.

That's actually pretty good odds. Better odds than most, including Vegas, are giving Missouri. McElroy shows you respect and you get pissed? What's wrong with you?

McElroy's the best thing on the SECN. Is he saying something that's not true? Your D-line, which was your bread & butter, has been decimated.

You sound rustled. Maybe you should call Finebaum and complain about it.

Hope for your sake he can do better than the 2 SEC sacks the last #1 defensive recruit.

????????????

You didn't take the #1 Defensive recruit in the country last year. Khalil McKenzie and Trenton Thompson are both rated higher than Beckner nationally and at their respective position.

Try again.

Arden Key was a top defensive prospect but not THE top defensive prospect. Not sure what he and Orgeron have to do with Missouri though.

I would say he has some valid points. Your defensive line has been the bright spot of the team in recent years. Matt Mauk is good, but are the weapons around him good enough? Mizzou will still be good though. I think Tenn takes the east.

40% when you are competing with 4 other legit teams is a very high number. Quit bitching about our ginger.

Cool. Mizzou's army of three stars aren't going to win anything.

mizzoukills, you seem to take issue with these odds. What percentage chance do you think Missouri should be given to reach the SEC championship game this year?

I know ya'll are new to relevancy. However, it is better to ignore the talking heads both when the say things you don't like as well as things you agree with that are positive.

I like McElroy personally for his passion of college football....BUT he is wrong sometimes...just like every talking head lays an egg every now and then.

His pimping of Mason at QB at UGA last year amazed me....GM went on and on about how strong his arm was and how accurate his throws were in the preseason. That simply was NOT the case. He had weak arm and average accuracy.

I would not count Mizzou out for the east again...as I wouldn't count out any team except Vandy. GM stated yesterday that our "best case scenario" was 3rd in the east. Is he on drugs? First of all we went 4-4 last year in the SEC and could have been 6-2 with any additional receiving help.

GM pimps Bamas DL and glosses over any other real problems that team might have...and he stated that a team with a good DL is always going to give their team a chance to win. Ok...Im buying that stock...but UF's DL is stout and our defense as a whole finished 15th in the country last year even though hindered by bad offense. Soooooo...why aren't we given the same chips as Bama? Not saying we are going to win the CFP...but our defense will keep us in the hunt for the east.
