What a game to be at!!! We had hill seats, but there were so few students there that they opened their section up to GA ticket holders so we sat a few rows behind the band. Great seats. The first half was ugly for Mizzou, IMO the biggest play being the Mauk fumble being reversed for the hand coming forward. It just felt like AR was about to open the game up with that short field and the momentum. But the MOmentum shifted right before the half when Baggett knocked in that field goal to cut it to one score. Big mistake by Bilemma trying to ice him but waiting long enough that Baggett got to kick it. There is no need to ice Baggett in the first place, and letting him have a practice kick at it was the only reason he made the second one. The crowd was pretty stoked to only be down 1 score at the half, and it just had the feeling of another MU comeback, and thats what we got. Mizzou was clearly the better team in the 2nd half. Jimmy Hunt decided to start catching the ball. The long pass play to him when MU was backed up was a huge momentum play and led to the first MU TD. Sasser also mad a sick catch on that drive. Then the Defense took over with help from a loud 12th man and you could feel that Mizzou was not going to lose. Another interesting decision by Bilemma was to defer when they won the opening flip. It allowed Mizzou to play with the wind in the 2nd and 4th quarter. Whick is when they scored all their points. Can't wait for next year in fayetteville.

As far as MU getting in the final four.....we would need just about every team in front of us to lose today. Lets just worry about winning the SECCG first, we all remember what happened to us last year.

I don't know that AR won the first half, they never got enough seperation to carry through to a win. It was a good win for Mizzou. AR was coming off two strong wins because of their defense, but they couldn't handle Missou in the 4 quarter.

Before anyone gets too worried about AL they should look at their record. Those that say TCU and Baylor play weak non conference scheules hasn't see Alabama's apparently. I'm not sure why they are ranked where they are, but I suspect that the commitee is too busy doing their jobs to do any research. If Mizzou plays AL, I wouldn't put too much money on the Tide.

It's official. With Ol Miss beating Mississippi, Alabama has already clinched the SEC West even if they lose to Auburn. So it will be Mizzou and Alabama on Saturday afternoon. Gonna be fun to watch for sure and if Mizzou can pull off the upset, what will that do to the playoffs?

We need Bama to beat Auburn handily. Then we need to blow out Bama. If that happens...well...either Mizzou gets in or the SEC gets shut out of the final 4.

Yeah, about that...... please forgive a rant.

As a student at the game, the amount of the student section they allowed for GA was not ideal. Admittedly we got there 15 minutes before kick off, but it was a real struggle to find any seats. I understand giving some away, but they went way too far to the point where if you weren't early, you probably weren't getting a spot.

Not a huge deal, but you do kind of expect more when you shell out good money for season tickets.

At this point I say No SEC Team will be in the final 4, SEC cannibalizes itself.

Auburn is on fire tonight and Bama is lucky the score is not 54 / 21 right now. Second half is going to tell the tail but right now its looking Like

#1 FL sT

#2 Oregon

#3 TCU

#4 Ohio St.

If Bama goes on to lose tonight.

I am just wondering if Auburn considered trying to cover Amari Cooper...that is one guy you have to keep in check.

[ozark trout fisher]

Alabama ended up winning but their defense got exposed by Auburn. I'm feeling a lot better about Saturday.

Amari Cooper is good, but for that to matter they'll need to deal with our d-line. I'm not entirely sure they'll be able to.

[Quillback]

Bama certainly looks beatable, they all do. FSU barely escaped Florida for crying out loud. Bad weekend for the SEC, I think there were 4 losses to ACC teams.

[Feathers and Fins]

Covering Cooper is a nightmare for anyone, He of all the Heisman potentials is the one I feel most deserving of it ( my opinion ). Bama looked beatable in the first half second half looked like demons on a mission. FloridUH State would not want to meet Bama in the championship if last nights second half Bama showed up
