Missouri fans mostly (but not totally) negative after football team's loss to South Carolina

The Missouri football team traveled to Columbia, S.C., to play its first-ever road conference game in the SEC. The Tigers lost, 31-10, in a game never really in doubt. Few people expected Missouri to win on the road against the No. 7 team in the country, but most were hopeful for a closer game.

Former players couldn't decide whether to be hopeful or disgusted during Saturday's game.

So many miss tackles! We must don't believe in wrapping guys up, the workers at "Chipotle" wrap better than us, Jesus!

Fans and reporters lost hope for a comeback in the second half.

It's frustrating to hear CBS announcers pushing the Franklin QB controversy story with as many drops as #Mizzou receivers, et al, have had.

Way my #Mizzou Tigers playing, we're lucky there's not a 40 point difference right now. Defense just lets Sanders thru too much.

#Mizzou can't tackle or score a touchdown. Other than that things are going swimmingly.

Can't wait for Pinkel's comments on this game. "We weren't prepared" "My fault" Gary, we have heard it all before. #mizzou

All Mizzou fans are now requesting the injection that James Franklin declined.

Some observers echoed statements said throughout the Southeastern Conference that Missouri may not be up to snuff when it comes to competing in the SEC.

Some fans and reporters took a different perspective and realized it's a long road to finding success in the SEC.

When you meet what you're afraid of, then you find what you are made of. Go #Mizzou!

Worth remembering it took #mizzou about 11 years to be in upper echelon of Big 12 North.

While some Elitists want to hammer Missouri and A&M as new teams. A friendly reminder. In 1992 SEC Inaugural years for Ark.3-4-1. S.Car. 3-5

No one ever said going to the SEC would be easy. We didn't go for easy. We went to be challenged and get stronger - and we will. #MIZSEC
