I was confused the entire offseason when it seemed like we weren’t even an afterthought with these two teams. Four in a row and three in a row with a bunch of returning starters. I thought at a bare minimum we might be said to have a puncher’s chance. Nope. And now I find us still considered an automatic W for Mizzou. Wth? I guess it doesn’t matter and we’ve got plenty to prove but after the ridiculous amount of disrespect we dealt with over the last week in regards to the Florida game I’m a bit peeved. As to Mizzou, like Florida before them, it’s as if we should be honored just to share the same field. Oh well.

Mizzou would get torn a new one if they didn't act cocky on here. It's just how it is. Beat them and they'll quiet down for a little bit maybe

USC fans think Muschamp in the answer even though he couldn't win with Meyers leftovers. Not sure why they have so much confidence in him. Maybe it's Bentley.

Missouri fans just think Lock can will them to wins and outscore other teams. That is fine with OOC weak opponents, wont' fly in the SEC.

I think UK's defense keeps us in all games, if Wilson continues to improve, we should win most of our conference games this year. Having MSU and USC at home are huge bonuses.

I don’t care so much about their fans. Gamecocks fans have slowed their collective roll since Saturday and Missouri fans are predictable albeit annoying. It’s more the attitude of other fan bases and what I’ve seen nationally. I guess it really doesn’t matter. We’ve got much to prove. It just seems like we’ve been proving it for awhile in regards to these teams.

Let Mizzou strut and brag for now and concentrate on getting ready for Missy State and South Carolina. If your DBs can handle their passing games you will be ready to face Mizzou. Shut down their run game (same for MSU and SC) and then you can handle their passing game with 5 or 6 covering their DBs.

H8 Feeds The Cat... Dawgs can show you the way.

Seriously though... if you're talking about on the boards, it's all bluster and bravado from Mizzou... as someone else mentioned. They'd get called out for milktoast otherwise. If it's anything else publicly, just let it feed the team. They need to quickly come back down from the UF win high, to make sure they keep taking care of business. This was massive, but you want to ride it to progress, not let it be the high point of the season.

Congrats to all Cat fans... y'all deserved this win a while ago. I hope to see y'all in contention later this season. If I have one request, it's please take out Miss State... Would go a long way to helping end the West >>> East stuff :)

Every year of our streak with USC and Missouri the ESPN predictor gives us a 20% chance to win. Every year they've been the favorite. Muschamp and Barry Odom have never beaten us but every year we're the underdog. At least with SC they've been close games so its somewhat understandable.

Whatever. Just keep winning and it all works out in the end. We got Murray State and Michigan State first.

Cats have a tough West sled this season

While not having to play Alabama again, they do not get Arkansas either

Both State and TAMU can compete for the west they will both be a feather in the Cats cap should they come away with a win. Not sure many current poll voters were alive, much less an adult in the 70's when UK was good with Curci. Cats may have to go 6-0 to get the same love a 4-0 school with more recent football history would.

Mizzou's internet fans remind me a bit of K State fans in that they are trolling because they may not have much to back up but at least with K State they are obvious enough that even somebody as slow as myself on picking up trolling and sarcasm can figure it out. K State at least does it with more humor and they do have The Wizard.

I have been around SC fans a long time and they remind me a lot of old UK fans in that they weathered the bad times so long they are true to the core. Easy to follow a winner but pretty hard to stay in the stands when you are losing. Until the Joker took over at UK both Cats and Cocks were both in the Top 20 to Top 30 for college football attendance every year. Pretty damn impressive feat considering their respective records at the time.

I genuinely hope when Mizzou wins some Natty hardware they will chill out an relax now they are out of the B12 but Arkansas has been gone from the SWC longer and they still carry that unhealthy load. As for the Cocks, happy when they do well as their fans have endured so I am happy to cut them some slack. Imagine being a UK fan with Louisville (aka Clemson) and UNCheats (aka Indiana) had been in the SEC with UK all those years.

I wish it really were Michigan State this year.
