I figured it was time to start the new version of this...

2012 Schedule
April 14: Spring Game
Sept. 1: SE Louisiana
Sept. 8: Georgia
Sept. 15: Arizona State
Sept. 22: at South Carolina
Sept. 29: at Central Florida
Oct. 6: Vanderbilt
Oct. 13: Alabama
Oct. 20: OPEN
Oct. 27: Kentucky*101st HOMECOMING*
Nov. 3: at Florida
Nov. 10: at Tennessee
Nov. 17: Syracuse
Nov. 24: at Texas A&M

Still three games to be released here. I'd expect a mid-major in the Sept. 1 game, a FCS team on Sept. 29, and another mid-major on Nov. 17 (to get a November home game on the schedule).

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."
— Dave Matter (@Dave_Matter) July 17, 2012"Everybody wears a tie or sundress to games [in the SEC]. Look at me. I wore a Dri-fit polo to Big 12 media day last year." -Mizzou TJ Moe
— 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.

Moe, Tigers stand tall against outside criticism at SEC Media Days

A few things of late...

I like the tenor of the Mizzou contingent at media days. Confident. Not intimidated. And it sounded like... just a little pissed off/annoyed at all the "Oh my gosh, how will you ever compete?" questions.

It sounds like LB Eric Biesel will be committing to Mizzou some time in the next few weeks.

And it sounds like Hannon and Boyd are bound for somewhere else. Boyd hurts quite a bit... Hannon, I think he waited a bit too long and they moved on/filled their slots at OL.

Boyd doesn't hurt at all. He's got some fairly severe emotional/psychological issues, and he will almost certainly not qualify. He has had some incidents in the past that would be wildly embarrassing if repeated at Mizzou, and I have no reason to believe they wouldn't be.

I am guessing that the offer was pulled.

He will likely sign and place with Arkansas, but I tend to doubt he ever plays a down for them. The kid's life is straight out of The Blind Side, except he is a mess upstairs.

Gotcha. He is a very good-looking prospect, but that is info I hadn't heard.

Him being a sign and place is not new, though. That sounds pretty likely.

From PowerMizzou (probably what you were referencing regarding Beisel):

Beisel just tweeted he's visiting Missouri on July 24th for his final visit before he announces on July 26.

Getting Beisel would be huge. He's going to be a beast.

[Mizzou_8541]

Beisel commitedto Mizzou tonight. Huge get and a great LB class. Chose Mizzou over "WPS"...errrr, I mean Arkansas, Arizona st., Illinois, Kansas, Kansas state, Nebraska and others.

[duncan_idaho]

Beisel stuff all over PowerMizzou if anyone is interested.

Arkie fans were certain they had him locked up after his visit there, but whatever. Never really thought that.

Sounds like Monday might be a pretty awesome/huge day. Reports that Hannon and Boyd are visiting, along with a potential surprise.

[Stanley Nickels]

I've never been TOO worked up about recruiting, and I think this staff puts an appropriate emphasis on keeping talent at home--and DGB is the reward reaped for every 2-star Missourian who MU offered to ensure that-- but I really hope we start hosting more elite southern recruits. It will be vital to our success in the new conference.

[DaKCMan AP]

Vernon Hargreaves III 5-star recruit and #9 overall (rivals) committed to Florida today.

Arkansas fans are simply insane. It goes beyond delusion. Every kid from Missouri is an Arky lock, well, until they commit to Mizzou.

Beisel is a HUGE get. He will be an absolute monster at LB.

Hannon said it was 50/50 between Arkansas and Nebraska.

Latest report from him was that those two led but he still might take some more visits. Shortly after, it came out that he was visiting on Monday with Jamone Boyd. They planned the trip with four current Missouri kids.

Safe to say that situation might have changed a bit.

I know him personally. At one point it really seemed like he was going to Arkansas, but I'm not sure now.

Mizzou wanted him to commit early, and he wasn't willing to choose that quickly. We signed some better prospects than him, and our interest cooled. He likes Mizzou but isn't sure that our schemes fit his style of play.

If I had to guess, I would still say Arkansas. Of the three, Nebraska would surprise me the most. (Wouldn't be a shock, though.) I'd like to see him at Mizzou, but I don't know if he would see the field much. He's a great kid, so whatever team gets him has that going for them.
