My main opinion is that they're always one of the most physical teams in the SEC but a lot of fans fail to realize this because Drinkowitz looks like such a little weenie and not a coach you'd associate with a having tough football team.

Missouri will be who they usually are. A better than average SEC team that every few years does poorly and every few years does fantastic.

Trust me, it beats being a below average SEC team, which is where Arkansas has been stuck for a while.

Arksuli nails it. It all depends on the QB. We get good production out of that position we can worry some folks.

I watched Falling Down last night just for the hell of it. I never picked up that one of the gangsters in the drive by has a "Razorbacks" tatoo.

As a lifelong Mizzou fan, I think this season could be a grind for the Tigers. I expect the offense to put up points, but the defense has some big shoes to fill after losing so many starters from last year's unit. On top of that, the schedule is a whole lot tougher than what we've seen the last couple of seasons. The two biggest question marks for me are the offensive line and how quickly this rebuilt defense can come together. If those two groups develop, Mizzou has a chance to surprise some people. If not, it could be a long SEC season.

Mizzou will do what they always do.

Be a menace at home. Have a solid, borderline prolific QB, and a tailback near the top if the SEC rushing leaders.

And finish 8-4. As an SC fan, I'd gladly take this, btw.

I'm curious to see Simmons. I hated losing that kid but he just kind of lost out on that spot. He has the talent to be an awesome QB but he kind of melted under pressure last season.

I'd be a lot more optimistic if Hardy hadn't been shot in his leg a few months ago. I'll guess we go 7-5.

SEC coaches need to ban players from going to Memphis for any reason whatsoever. One of our players was killed a year ago in Memphis.

Indiana pretty well demonstrated, again, that if you get good line play everything else is much easier. You don't have to be world beaters, but you need to be at least decent.

Surprisingly solid on defense.
Mediocre but could cause problems on offense. That’s kinda their brand under Drink.

Missouri is always underrated.

Austin’s biggest weakness is he has an incredible arm and he knows it. He starts out games geeked up and tries to make Brett Favre throws into triple coverage. When he finally settles down and reads the defense and lets the game come to him, he is lethal. But he has to learn he can’t throw piss missiles wherever he wants to
