MU Georgia plays "old man football" - Page 2

Pretty good article about next week's game here in the AJC. Pretty bold thing to say, quoted the money shot here...

Quote:

Missouri does not enter the SEC shyly. Quite the opposite, based on comments by one player.

According to an article in the Columbia (Mo.) Daily Tribune on Sunday, Missouri defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson was asked after the Tigers’ 62-10 victory over Southeastern Louisiana Saturday night if he watched the Georgia-Buffalo game on television earlier in the day.

“I watched the game. I turned it off, too,” Richardson was quoted as saying. “… It’s like watching Big Ten football. It’s old-man football.”

Then this: “If we execute, nobody in this league [the SEC] can touch us. Period.”

I say it is all fantastic.

Being a middle of the road team in the SEC on day one would be a very nice place to start. 5 of the top 10 ranked teams are in the SEC.

Some people feel like Georgia is overrated. I don't know about that, but Missouri gets them at home on the biggest day in school history. It's as favorable a situation as you can have in playing a #6 team when you are an "others receiving votes" team at the moment.

In any case, it's hard to imagine a situation where a bottom feeder in a lower conference could laugh at Missouri losing against SEC conference opponents. Aren't there three teams that arent in the conference anymore with more recent conference wins than Kansas?

But, forgetting all that 20th century history, it'll be a fun year. Middle of the best conference in the country will suit me just fine as a first act to the new history that's being written.

I predict Mizzou wins all of their games by triple digits. Seriously. SEC has seen nothing like Mizzou EVAR!

I know MU lost to the last "Old man football" team they played.

Didn't Sheldon Richardson have to go to a juco because he was too stupid to qualify at a university?

WTF

Moving goalposts?

Zach, you must be so used to getting bashed that every observation is taken as an attack.

I said "Good luck with that" meaning Mizzou is playing in a much harder conference.

It's been said by a LOT of people that this is a down year for the SEC, not just me.

I see what the dude is talking about. Power I, 3 yards and a cloud of dust, with the occasional play action pass is not particularly entertaining football to watch if you don't have a vested interest. As a fan of college football in general, with no "favorite team" I like to watch a spread offense over the other boring stuff.

I will say that it takes a great deal of discipline and execution to run the "old man offense." But same could be said for other offenses.

Pretty ballsy comment there. You don't hear much of that kind of talk in the SEC. Mostly, you only hear from the coaches and they just talk about how great each others teams are. Except for Spurrier that is LOL. This will be a big game and I am not taking Mizzou lightly. That place will be rocking as it will be their first SEC game ever.

If you watch the game, check out #6 (John Jenkins) for UGA. He is the NT in their 3-4 defense and is 6' 3" 358 lbs. He's really good.

Frazod · 09-03-2012, 04:08 PM

I hate it when they spout off like this.

Him at Jarvis Jones (OLB) I've seen listed as top 5 picks by various different sources. UGA's 3-4 is fun to watch

I'm excited to see if this game looks like Auburn/Oregon or Alabama/Michigan in that defense rules the day. Very, very interesting match up to open SEC play.

I don't like UGA but they will stomp Mizzou into dust.

mnchiefsguy · 09-03-2012, 04:30 PM

Georgia was sloppy against Buffalo. If they play the same way in Columbia, the Tigers have a great chance to win. Hopefully Pinkel will have the team focused on playing the best football they can, and we will see what happens.

**notorious** · 09-03-2012, 04:37 PM

I think that Mizzou will win.

No they don't. Sorry. You need to understand, and you will.
