Have had the same thoughts TN Dawg.
Like I posted somewhere here earlier, the SEC WANTS at least ONE of the new teams to come in with a WIN. Wouldn't you if you were Mike Slive? If both teams got slobber-knockered, it would confirm the "superiority" of the SEC and take away from the luster of the rest of the new team's seasons, especially against "weak" opponents like UGA and UF. The SEC is hoping for a win from BOTH teams to create PASSION among a large portion of SEC fans, so that upcoming games will be even MORE interesting than the openers.
I also FIRMLY believe that the officials have most likely been briefed on the desire for a favorable outcome for Missouri and A&M, and that we might see some laundry go against us in some crucial situations IF NEED BE. Wouldn't surprise me if Slive had a little something to do with those hash brownies, either.
