Mizzou called out for being a fraud after rough first half vs. Texas A&M

Mizzou was ranked No. 9 in the country heading into Saturday’s tough road game at No. 25 Texas A&M. The Tigers’ offense had yet to fully click in a game through 4 weeks, and those issues reared their ugly heads on Saturday.
Penalties and missed opportunities plagued the Tigers in the first half as they fell behind the Aggies 24-0. Yes, there were some missed calls by the officials, too, but Mizzou made plenty of mistakes on its own.
With a chance to cement itself as a Playoff contender, Mizzou instead showed up in the first half and looked like a team that shouldn’t even be in the top 25.
That naturally drew plenty of reaction across social media. Here’s a look at some of what was being said about the struggling Tigers on Saturday:
Mizzou looks like an FCS team playing a real SEC team.

I’ve witnessed a winless Mizzou basketball team and I’ve never been more embarrassed then right now

Typical Mizzou. Wetting the bed when they have a chance to cement themselves as a Top 10 team.

Wait I thought Mizzou was gonna be in the CFB playoff this year?

At least Mizzou is getting heartbreak out of the way pretty quickly. Such high expectations, and they've shown the last two weeks they're not where we thought they were and aren't a playoff team.

The Tigers seem poised to fall out of the top-10 on Sunday, surely. But how far will the slide go for Mizzou? And conversely, can A&M rise into the top 20? Top 15? The polls will be interesting on Sunday afternoon after this beatdown in College Station.
