    Is there anything funnier than a bunch of gladiators trying to fall on a loose football?

    TAMU being outgained by 300 yards but only down 3. Insane.

    So who thinks Mizzou gets it done today?

    They haven't really beaten a good team all year and it seems like their defense is better suited to stopping the pass than the run, which is what Arkansas does well.

    That said, Pinkel tends to come through in games like this.

    Vegas sure doesn't think so. When was the last time you saw a 9-2 team, at home, be a 3 point dog to a 6-5 opponent?

    At first I didn't think Arky had anything to play for with its 6 wins, making the Hogs bowl-eligible. But one of the wins is Nicholls State so I guess they need one more real win. But they ain't gettin' it today. Mizzou by 4 TDs.

    ABC may want to rethink putting Baylor/Tech on in the afternoon. Considering it's going to be 84-56, it may start at 2:30, and get over at 8:30.

    Arkansas is bowl-eligible already. You can use one FCS win toward bowl-eligibility every year, as long as a certain percentage of that team's roster is on scholarship. So the Hogs will play in a bowl, provided every other 7-win team in the SEC gets a bowl slot ahead of them.

    Same with Florida. Gators are 6-4, but one win is over Eastern Kentucky. They'll be a in a bowl, too.

    Man, this culture tries so hard to appease every little one and thing.

    Just means you can't play an Ivy League school or somebody like Austin Peay, who until a few years ago was FCS, but non-scholarship.

    They've played 8 minutes at Marshall...already 21-14 and tops driving......

    Defense optional.

    God, they might just fire Pelini when he gets back to the Nebraska border. They look incompetent.
