"It's going to go down in history," Pinkel said. "They'll always point to it, talk about it, look at how it came out." St. Louis Post and Dispatch  In Columbia, Missouri the Tigers have this quote posted in their locker room.  Seems so many folks in the SEC are salivating to see Missouri upset Georgia on Saturday.  Yes, those pundits will weigh in with talk of the mighty Mizzou and the greatest QB ever to play in the SEC - James Franklin.  So I say ignore the pundits and forget your jitters for this game.  This is just another road game in a tough conference.  Nothing more, nothing less. It is understood that the Buffalo game concerns you as it does me.  Once you watch the film, Buffalo’s offensive line was fairly good, and they have an excellent running back and a quarterback who took advantage of running the football.  It appeared that our defense looked unprepared for the quarterback running.  I have no doubts the defense will be well prepare...

Missouri football player trash talks SEC, Big Ten

For some unknown reason (other than money), the University of Missouri decided to inflict pain upon their football program by joining the Southeastern Conference on July 1.  Most would think that the Tigers, who went 8-5 last season in a decent Big XII, would take their lumps in their first season in the SEC.  They will travel to #6 Georgia for a nationally-televised night game...

Critical for Success - Missouri

As a frequent commenter here at LHB, I'm excited about adding my name to the contributors to the site.  Thanks for the invitation, ecdawg!

Mizzou must protect James Franklin against Georgia

If Mizzou wants to get a huge win against Georgia on Saturday at Faurot Field, the Tigers offensive line must protect Mizzou quarterback James Franklin. - (Photo credit: Wikipedia) Coming into his Junior season, many questioned how Mizzou quarterback James Franklin's surgically repaired shoulder would look and if he would be physically ready to compete in the defensive-oriented...

Missouri offensive line preps for No. 7 Georgia

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) There were times during Missouri's 62-10 win over Southeastern Louisiana when offensive lineman Max Copeland had to collect himself and keep a promise he made to his dad. "I'm here, man, I'm here," Copeland said he remembered thinking as he looked around at more than 62,000 fans in Memorial Stadium on Saturday. His father, Michael, made Max...

Lawrence, Murphy add speed element for Tigers

(Eds: Updates. With AP Photos.) By R.B. FALLSTROM AP Sports Writer Line `em up when they're all healthy and Missouri's trio of speedy Texas tailbacks would make for quite the race.

SEC College Football: Texas A&M Aggies And Missouri Tigers To Get Rude Welcome To SEC Conference Play?

The Texas A&M Aggies and Missouri Tigers were mainstays in the Big 12 Conference for many years. They were a part of some great rivalries and some classic college football games. But, like so many school in this trendy new NCAA landscape, they decided to jump ship and change conferences, with both opting to join the SEC this season. But on Saturday, as both the Aggies and Tigers...

Our Missouri Prediction

Dawgs will start the SEC race on the good foot: My approach to predicting this game is a simple one. These teams have not played since 1960. Consequently, there is no history to rely on between the two combatants. How, then, can one make a reasonably educated guess as to the outcome? I look back to 2011 and ask myself two questions. First - Is Missouri a better football team...
