Our program is filled with pussies at the top, the football team doesn't have a single SEC quality player, and the coach looks like spoiled milk in human form. We are way passed getting embarrassed.

With Army in 2022. They went instead with an easier opponent Akron. Is this how far they have fallen???


They deserve to get ripped for it. I honestly do not understand the rationale behind scheduling all these shitty non-conference games: it's bad for the fans, it's bad for the program's perception, and it's a lost revenue opportunity. I would rather see Mizzou go 5-7 every year but play three or four solid non-conference games instead of going 6-6 or 7-5 but playing North Texas, Central Michigan, and SEMO like this season. There is nothing to gain from playing those schools, but if we lose it's program-decimating.

For Mizzou, we should be scheduling some combination of Kansas, Kansas State, Nebraska, Illinois, Iowa, and Iowa State every year. Those are mostly historic rivalry games for us that will get fans in the seat and help us on the recruiting front (particularly Illinois in that regard since we get a lot of our best players from that state).

I honestly think Mizzou's attendance dip in recent years has as much do to with the terrible home game schedule as it does the protest disaster in 2015. It seems like every season, our first two to three home games are against a shitty FCS school followed by two mid-majors. I'm not going to pay $75+ and drive two hours each way to attend those games. And I know for a lot of Mizzou folks in KC, they are trying to justify going to a Mizzou-SEMO game instead of sticking around and going to Arrowhead for Mahomes and the Chiefs on Sunday, which is also two hours closer.

I suppose they could add "Piss off Smokeyone" to the list?

I didn't think it was a huge deal... until I read where there is a Medal of Honor convention scheduled that week in Knoxville and the recipients were supposed to be honored at the game.

Total shite move by Tennessee... just another embarrassment for that program.

Army might not "win" a lot of games against SEC opponents but I bet you there would be some sore bodies after defending these guys for 60 minutes on triple option.


Georgia Tech ran it for years and I can promise it is a tough one to go against. We hated playing against that offense for a long time, but gt a handle on it and played well against it the last few games Johnson was there. In fairness, I'm not sure if we found the key to the offense, or the caliber of players they had got worse. It is NOT a fun offense to defend against, but it does teach teams to be very disciplined.

Might be time to take it easy on him. It’s tough to be a vol when the actual season starts.

Why can’t they still be honored at the game?

We won that game by double digits.

What's more American than getting paid to do absolutely nothing?

Tennessee should follow Bama's example. Since they have been SEC members...how many times has Alabama played Army in the regular season?
