When it comes to Day One’s quote machine, it wasn’t a coach who took home first prize. Nope, senior Missouri receiver TJ Moe was actually the man whose gums flapped loudest… and most entertainingly. The clear message? He’s tired of hearing about how great the SEC is:

“People talk about how good SEC defenses are but don’t take into account how good Big 12 offenses are…

I know they won the last six national titles. But all 12 teams didn’t win it. Just one did…

They’ve also got prettier girls, the air’s fresher and the toilet paper’s thicker.”

Sounds like that chip on Gary Pinkel’s shoulder is actually a message that he’s sending throughout the Mizzou program. Moe — who draws a lot of comparisons to the NFL’s Wes Welker — obviously received his coach’s message loud and clear.

Now let’s see who around the SEC takes note of Moe’s many messages from Media Days.

Love TJ's bravado. Almost makes me want to root for the Tigers. I will be pulling for them in College Station.

Correction Mizzou fans and players, when one school wins we all win! That's the beauty of the SEC! We love to beat each other but we also take pride in being a family and pulling for each other against the outsiders. We're glad to have you guys and A&M in the league! Good luck in all athletics.

Yes, you are exactly right about that part. All for one and one for all... against outsiders/bowl season.

But I think TJ actually would agree with that and had a different point in mind. He's probably just weary of hearing over and over again how NFL-like the SEC is and how Mizzou is gonna get crushed... natural reaction for a competitive athlete, even if it turns out true (hopefully not!). I think what he's saying is that not every SEC team is as tough as LSU and ALA were last year; that Mizzou may surprise some people; that while the BIG-12 teams overall were/are not as good as those in the SEC, some were very good.

Always love TJ. He embodies what we need from this team.
