My "way-too-early most-rosey" guess while drinkin' the Kool-Aid. I am assuming (oh boy) that the D gets their act together. 8-4 and we're going bowling!??? We can't bitch about the schedule being too tough at this time.
Missouri St - W
Carolina - W...I hope.
Purdue - W...can not blow this one.
Auburn - L
At Kentucky - L...damn road game.
At UGA - L...maybe we can upset?
Idaho - W
At UConn - W...just cannot lose.
Florida - L*...win in November, they remember.
Tennessee - W...glad this is a home game.
At Vandy - W...gotta win on the road.
At Arkansas - W...I just feel we have fat Bert's number.
*I absolutely hate losing to Florida especially at home. It's not that I hate them (yet), it's that you have to beat them and keep them down in the East.

I think Bert holds serve at home against y'all this year. I wouldn't be surprised if the schools trade home wins for a few years. Bert is like fine shrimp, he doesn't tend to travel well, and I think Missouri is going to have a lot of trouble winning in Fayetteville. Especially since a bowl game may or may not be on the line for the Hogs this season going into that game.

Missouri vs Arkansas, one of the least heated but more entertaining rivalries in the SEC. 
Posted on 4/21/17 at 2:14 pm to Arksulli
It is kind of weird. I like Arkansas and its people a lot. Missouri and Arkansas are cut from the same cloth.

Well as I've said before NW Arkansas is more like Missouri then anywhere else. The only truly Southern as all get out place in the state is the Arkansas Delta and people are moving away from there in droves.
I risk being burned in effigy for saying this but Arkansas is slowly but surely becoming a Midwestern state.

I'd like to say "Welcome" to the Midwest, but Missouri is becoming more southern by the minute.

What you are becoming is... well lets call it an Ozark state. I suppose Arkansas is too. Work with me here.
We aren't quite Midwest, where you think of the Northern states like Michigan. We aren't really Southern. Not quite Central Plains.
We are largely rural states... that have growing urban populations. Our cost of living is low, our wages (in the nice parts of our states) are solid, and our climate doesn't get too cold or really too hot.
Well except for the Arkansas Delta which I live next to now.
Arkansas and Missouri (plus NE Oklahoma till Tulsa and chunks of Eastern Tennessee, and Southern Illinois) are in the neither fish nor fowl category. Honestly all of those factors, not to expensive to live, not to cheap on salaries, the climate sort of in the middle... I honestly think Missouri and Central Arkansas on up is becoming one of the nicest places to live in the country.
And we've hijacked this thread and I apologize.
I think 8 wins for y'all this year. You don't win the East but you put a run at it in. I think Missouri's year will be next year when Odom has more of the pieces to the puzzle in place.

I'd say Northern MO is Midwest through and through. Then you have the two metros on each border. Central and Souther MO are Ozark country for sure.

Yeah. If we're top 50 in defense and top 20 in offense, we're a 9-10 win team.

I hope you are correct and I am wrong. But UK is going to be tough at their place. Stoop is moving that team in the right direction.
ANY conference road win is tough.

From say Helena, AR north to Crawley's Ridge (between Sikeston and Cape) in Missouri...it is identical. Delta.

I reject your reality and substitute my own!
No. Sadly you are correct. Which means I live smack dab in the middle of the Arkansas Delta. Though where I live is more of a suburb of Memphis.
Which is a terrible thing. When you are willing to claim a connection to Memphis it means the area around you must be a hell hole.
Economically speaking how well off is the Missouri Delta? Because I can tell you that where I live is the only place in the Arkansas Delta that isn't on economic life support. Just a few months ago we took a detour through what used to be a good sized delta town and there were trees growing up through abandoned homes... one block off what passed for their main street.
Hard to believe Helena, AR used to be quite a bit bigger then Memphis and was nearly as important to the river economy as St. Louis. In the last thirty years something like 2/3rds of the population has left that town.

8 wins would be a good season. The offense will be good enough to keep the team in every game on the schedule.
Consistency at WLB/slot corner and safety are the biggest question marks on defense IMO.
I don't remember Lee or Burkett taking any reps with the #1 defense vs the #1 offense in the spring game. Prewett had a nice spring but at 210 lbs you are asking a lot of him to slide in the box and clean up. It says a lot that converted safeties took primary reps over 4 LB recruits that have been on campus at least 4 years.
