I guess what you can say is that Missouri greatly exceeded expectations in 2013 and 2014...otherwise, they have finished below where they were predicted.

Be honest, did you even think about this before you hit submit?



yes...I am being totally honest. 2 of the 4 years in conference, Missouri greatly exceeded preseason expectations (by winning the East)...in the other two years, they finished lower than preseason predictions. That seems pretty straight forward.

People have been saying this to Mizzou every year since we have been here.

You are incredibly edgy though. The internet tough guy persona is tried and true.

This is exactly the point of the OP. Please take the time to read exactly what was stated before popping off at the mouth, cowboy.

I'm sorry but your team is one of the reasons the east is shite this year.

These backwoods justice warriors (BJWs) see this and become immediately triggered.

Nope...I was responding to the statement "Mizzou has been at it's best in the SEC when the focus of expectations are elsewhere". Actually, 1/2 the time, Missouri has been at it's best when expectations are elsewhere...1/2 the time, Missouri is worse than predicted when expectations are elsewhere. Expectations are always elsewhere...so, basically it means that "when expectations are elsewhere, Missouri will finish between 1st and 6th in the East". That is a more accurate statement.

Why no 2015? The return to the rightful spot isn't pretty. I get that.

No, I didn't. I made reference to them in my narrative. I was simply saying that poor preseason expectations do not necessarily correlate with Missouri exceeding them. I simply posted the seasons to negate the OP's hypothesis.

The fatal flaw in the OP's thinking is that their coach for those "sneaky good" finishes is no longer the coach.

Sorry...you got me. Even though there is evidence to the contrary...Missouri wins the East every year that preseason predictions focus on someone else. The OP's statement is upheld.





(except for 1/2 of the sample population).

The seems to have people seeing RED on here, there is no doubt about it. It's almost impossible to make a legit point if you're a Mizzou fan on here, it's like trying to reason with animals.
