Missouri senior middle linebacker Eric Beisel may have the biggest mouth in Southeastern Conference football.
If only more people could discover it.
Beisel said before last season’s regular-season finale that it would be “a huge mistake” for Arkansas to show up at Faurot Field. Missouri’s Tigers were just 3-8 entering that game, but they backed Beisel’s words by rallying from a 24-7 halftime deficit and pulling off a 28-24 upset.
“I’ve always been like this,” Beisel said at SEC media days. “I might have been banned from doing interviews for a little while there. I’ve always been this way. It’s fun. I like to make things a little more personal.
