Very solid argument.

Not necessarily.

Compelling.

Got it.


It means that people should take Missouri's record with a grain of salt

That seems a lot shorter to type out.

Of course yall have already started 3 of those threads. I commend the different tack in the same attack. Sail on.

And what's your argument? That you can stop Vandy from running the ball? Congratulations on that

First you say "logic is hard" and then say my argument is we can stop Vandy from running the ball?

Logic really is hard. I hope it's not an integral skill to your profession.

No, one of your fanbase's arguments is that you guys have been able to stop the run. However, the one team with a good running game destroyed you. So the Missouri fanbase is basing their argument on games against shitty opponents, such as Vandy

Because Arkansas played a tougher schedule. Because Arkansas lost to better teams than Missouri beat.

You're saying the same thing I am, but just don't know it.

Simply pointing out that we played a tougher schedule doesn't mean people are predicting an Arkansas win because of it.

On the other hand, I've seen a lot of Missouri posters giving the Tigers the edge based on statistics "from SEC games only."

We're not going to get any straight answers from Missouri fans. If they lose this game their season will be exposed as a fraud, and they know it.

Hey now we can't all beat powerhouses such as Toledo and Kentucky. Good for them. Their defense really showcased their prowess in those games.

Kentucky was the hottest team in country going into that game. The Rant was talking about how they were going to win the SEC East. Every team we play is the hottest team in the country, and every fan base has said the exact same stuff Arkansas fans are saying now. Same Texas A&M coming off beating Auburan @Auburn. Same with Tennessee coming off two dominating wins. If we would have just lost to the hottest teams in the country, we could say we played somebody.

Maybe you beat us, but this is basically Groundhog Day for Mizzou fans. Oh, so you think we haven't beat anybody and our defense is overrated? How original.

I already addressed this, but Arky fans seem to be avoiding the point.

Remind me again where they blew out two top 25 teams after showing obvious development and improvement each game

I'll wait

So what your admitting is that for the past 3 years Arky has been the shitiest team in the West. And somehow the fact that you're not as shitty as last year in the West, that makes you a better team?

Probably because it doesn't make sense to compare our OOC schedule to your OOC. Ours was much more difficult (according to Sagarin ratings).

ARKY - Nicholls State (243), Texas Tech (67), Northern Illinois (80), UAB (102).

MIZ - South Dakota State (69), Toledo (74), UCF (53), and Indiana (91).

But I can see why you'd want to add the stats from a 73-7 beat down of the 10th weakest team in the country to your stats.

And it's worth pointing out those conference records you mentioned would look a bit different if you get rid of the 7 losses and 1 win Missouri dished out to its conference opponents versus the 5 wins and 2 losses Arkansas gave to its opponents.

Oh, and Arky is 0-2 against common opponents whereas Missouri is 1-1.
