beloved new lighting system won't be noticeable until the end of the third quarter. I'm not sure the cheerleaders, band and Ray Tanner will know how to prepare for this event.
I am very concerned about the Missouri game Sat. because our

lol... why do either of you waste your time on Earth contributing to this message board. seems odd.
Did you not like the lighting system at the TAMU game? I thought it was pretty darned good.....as good as I've seen from other schools that have similar systems.
I think some people missed the joke. It's an afternoon game, so the lights won't be noticeable till much later in the game.
I'm not worried about lights, uniforms humor nor anything else but the players we put on the field and how well they perform.
At the end of the 3rd quarter, Jimbo had his flash light out trying to talk to his team. I don't see how they could hear him with the music so loud. I like that as it gives us an advantage. Hopefully, Beamer has worked something out so it doesn't become a disadvantage for us also,
In all seriousness, the 4 pm game is a weird time. The crowd won't be nearly as rowdy for a number of reasons (partly b/c most expect us to win, which is dangerous). This game is the bridge to a 6 game win streak. Mizzou is a mirror of A&M in a lot of ways, so it's gonna be a tough game.
Not nearly as talented - star wise - but they play as well as a team. Should be tough.
Yeah, A&M is definitely more talented. Stat-wise, at least on D, they are pretty similar.
I guess it's just the long time Gamecock in me that has seen it happen way too often. I just don't like the vibe I'm getting with this game.
Damnit Rod….I have that same bad vibe…make it stop
We call that vibe interference - 15 yd penalty. Might need a new antennae
I think it's a great time. You don't have to go super early; you don't get home late; you can tailgate before and after the game.
I feel the same exact way! I've seen it for 62 years now. I don't feel good about this game.
I guess it’s going to be a good while before Gamecock fans can feel confident facing a pretty good team. I figure one more win in a row
Guys, my one caveat is I don’t think we’ve played a good solid game in all areas, if the coaches are continuing to strive for that and Spencer can take care of the ball we should be good for the W! I’m still waiting for this offense to click a little better!
Me too….I thought we would make uga work for the W this year. I now have hope since my gut is usually wrong
They are much like A&M. Crappy offense. Very solid defense. We saw how the A&M game worked out though. You have to credit the crowd for at least 7 offensive points, which makes the difference in the game. Will the crowd be as raucous for Missouri? Doubtful.
Not saying we can't/won't win, but I don't see it being an easy game like some do.
I heard Tanner was thinking about honoring all 709 student-athletes (and their parents) at mid-field during a TV timeout.
Statistically, A&M and Mizzou are mirrors of one another.
Offensively, Mizzou puts up 344 ypg, A&M 317. Mizzou scores 22 ppg, A&M 20. A&M did better than their average against us, getting 398. If you take away the garbage FG, they had 21 points, which is right about their average.
Based on that, we can assume Mizzou will do at least their average for yardage and points, so it's gonna take at least 4 scores (24ish points) to win.
Defensively, Missouri is only allowing 24 ppg. A&M is basically identical, allowing 23.8 ppg, and our offense really only put up 13 on them. The D set them up for incredibly short fields for the other 10 offensive points (on the one, all we could manage from being set up with a 1st and G from the 5 was 3 points). And, of course, special teams scored 7.
So against a comparable defense, our offense only managed 13 points. So we'll need about 24 to win, which is what Mizzou is allowing, but A&M's comparable D, held our offense in check to the tune of 13 points, or nearly 11 points below what they usually allow. It's gonna take more special teams and the defense creating turnovers to pull this one out.
This game really worries me. I just don't see us matching the intensity from the crowd or the team that we came with last week.

On the other hand, Vandy is allowing 467 ypg and 37.4 ppg and Mizzou only put up 308 yards and 17 points against them last week at Missouri (that was with 4 turnovers though). Florida also them well below what they are allowing for ypg and ppg. So we shall see.
And now there is a threat of rain. It is not forecast to be heavy, but our fans don't do rain readily. I have a lot of experience with this. If we get anything beyond a light shower, they will rabbit.
East Carolina, 1996. I sat right up there in the West Upper during the whole deluge. The steps were a fast flowing river creating a waterfall going over the edge of the upper deck. Fat Bradstard's team got it's butt handed to them by a lesser team that night. Badly.
I was there; and also a monsoon with Kentucky in the same time frame. My wife and I had rain suits and never left until both were over.
1995. Mo Williams ran for 877 yards against Wally Burnham's vaunted defense. I think we lost something like 35-31. It rained hard that day, but not E.Carolina 1996 hard.
East Carolina was torrential all of the game. Kentucky was torrential much of the game. Our performances rendered both equally miserable.
