Came across my column from after the Middle Tennessee game last year

To be fair, in reading it, I don't really think it was wrong at the time. Even Drink's quotes here indicated concern. The next day I had a conversation with someone in the building and they expressed serious doubt Missouri could have a winning record last year (I think the exact phrase was "we're going to have to fight and claw.")
But, man, in the end, the whole thing sure ended up being incredibly wrong. Which is why, again, I'm going into this season making sure to pass no judgment on what I see for at least six weeks or so (unless we see something just completely unexpected and that won't be good for anybody).
