T.J. Moe
The University of Missouri is entering their first season in the SEC. The SEC does not know Mizzou very well and Mizzou does not know the SEC very well either. Not yet at least.
On Tuesday at the SEC media day, Mizzou wide receiver T.J. Moe did his best to help introduce the SEC to Mizzou.
Moe, who is from O'fallon, Missouri, was named to the third team preseason All-SEC team last week, but is coming off a disappointing season that saw him catch just 54 balls for 649 yards and four touchdowns. Moe will look to regain the form of his sophomore season this year and as evidenced by some of the things he said at SEC media day, looks to be brimming with confidence as he enters his senior year.
Moe stole the show, providing plenty of high quality, funny, and entertaining quotes about how great it is to be in the SEC, how Mizzou fits into the conference, and how he feels about the wardrobes worn by fans at SEC games.
Here is just a few of the things Moe said on Tuesday afternoon.
Moe on the #SEC being better: "The girls are prettier, the air is fresher and the toilet paper is thicker."

— Saturday Down South (@SDS) July 17, 2012Mizzou WR T.J. Moe on the SEC: "Things are just different here. I wouldn’t be surprised if everybody here is strapped with a gun.”
— Kyle Tucker (@KyleTucker_CJ) July 17, 2012Moe on #Mizzou in the #SEC: "We're the redheaded stepchild until we prove ourselves."
— Dave Matter (@Dave_Matter) July 17, 2012Moe was the star of media day on Tuesday but now must be a star on the field this fall. Moe's confidence and personality definitely gave the SEC schools reason to believe that Mizzou plans to come into the conference with guns blazing in hopes to surprise some people in their first season.
Moe said all the right things at media day and entertained his new friends. Now Mizzou must get to work and get ready for what should be a very entertaining season in the SEC.
