have to do is replace its/it's with "it is" to figure out if it should be its or it's...

"It's a rainy day."

"It is a rainy day." = Correct.

"Mizzou has its work cut out in the SEC."

"Mizzou has it is work cut out in the SEC." = Wrong.

Will we get any first downs or TDs - Diamond Dave MU - 4/30 15:20:50
     New uni's will be worth at least 7 pts per game. nm - Nebraska99 STL - 4/30 17:13:52
          Feeling sentimental and missed us?(nm) - jp4Mizzou STL - 4/30 17:25:35
     what's the point of this post? - restore the roar MU - 4/30 16:19:33
          what's the point of this post? - pickle MU - 4/30 16:43:58
          We haven't earned it on the field? - Doc_Nice MU - 4/30 16:35:33
               our history in the B12 means nothing - restore the roar MU - 4/30 16:39:27
                    that's a silly thing to say (nm) - pickle MU - 4/30 16:44:19
                         why? - restore the roar MU - 4/30 17:45:46
                              True, but we're not exactly East Carolina here(nm) - Doc_Nice MU - 4/30 18:02:04
                                   no doubt - restore the roar MU - 4/30 18:14:35
                    It makes for a nice aphorism, but it's not true - Doc_Nice MU - 4/30 16:42:41
               But...but.... we didn't play real football. - awan318 MU - 4/30 16:37:36
                    There's a lot of reputation riding on how A&M and Mizzou - Doc_Nice MU - 4/30 16:41:27
                         About a month ago I was talking to a fellow from Miss St. - awan318 MU - 4/30 16:47:05
                              Looking it up, you're right - Doc_Nice MU - 4/30 17:02:10
                                   I think last year the only notable out of conference games - awan318 MU - 4/30 17:06:54
                                        Here I broke it down late last year: - awan318 MU - 4/30 17:14:38
                                             Sorry, but there is no discernible difference between those - Buck Mulligan BAMA - 4/30 18:25:29
                                             Actually on closer look - Doc_Nice MU - 4/30 18:04:22
          The point is all the naysayers can go pound sand... - Tigrrrr! MU - 4/30 16:28:45
               agreed - restore the roar MU - 4/30 16:38:39
                    It is a discussion board - Doc_Nice MU - 4/30 16:43:31
          The point is to point out that the f-ing SEC defenses - Diamond Dave MU - 4/30 16:24:35
               if they are gushing - SwampTiger MU - 4/30 16:41:47
     Not even one. I am just going off of what Arky fans - Erwin Fletcher STL - 4/30 15:43:11
          They were coming of 3-8 and 6-6 seasons too - Doc_Nice MU - 4/30 15:49:41
               I know I just find it funny reading all of the doom we will - Erwin Fletcher STL - 4/30 15:53:15
                    I do actually think it will be harder in the long run - Doc_Nice MU - 4/30 16:16:17
                         I absolutely agree with that. We have seen what a program - Erwin Fletcher STL - 4/30 16:20:17
                              Hopefully no Bob Stulls and Woody's in our near future. - awan318 MU - 4/30 16:23:26
                         Agree. Pinkel's replacement will either have to be - awan318 MU - 4/30 16:20:16
                              Saban has Alabama's tradition to sell - Doc_Nice MU - 4/30 16:28:20
                                   Agree on tradition. My point is that Saban, whether you hate - awan318 MU - 4/30 16:32:11
                                        Maybe that would work for us, but you also have to consider - Doc_Nice MU - 4/30 16:37:33
                                             We are in the SEC now, I thought over paying your coach was - awan318 MU - 4/30 16:40:04
                                                  Yes. That's actually what I meant when I compared to Ark - Doc_Nice MU - 4/30 16:44:28
                    Once we move up from being a junior SEC member, we will - Tigrrrr! MU - 4/30 15:59:21
     Nope. Their defenses are so good that our offense won't even - awan318 MU - 4/30 15:31:29
          "There defenses"? "are offense"? C'mon dude. (nm) - etherice MU - 4/30 15:37:37
               yeah....I noticed that. - McDawg UGA - 4/30 16:09:45
               That better? - awan318 MU - 4/30 15:39:40
                    LOL. Almost. ("Thier") (nm) - etherice MU - 4/30 15:42:03
                         Truth is I have had trouble with there, their, and they're - awan318 MU - 4/30 15:46:03
                              You were 0-for-2 in the subject, so had to call you out. 'nm - etherice MU - 4/30 15:52:02
                                   No big. I need a reminder now and then. That's what happens - awan318 MU - 4/30 15:54:00
                                        I hated it as a kid. My worst subject in grade school. - BlackFlagTiger MU - 4/30 15:57:08
                              I still can't remember the correct usage of its and it's - Sarcastro MU - 4/30 15:47:43
                                   Really?! "it's" is just a contraction for "it is" so all you - etherice MU - 4/30 15:51:16
                                   You people are stoopid - BlackFlagTiger MU - 4/30 15:50:33
                                        It happens. Good thing my degree and job have nothing to - awan318 MU - 4/30 15:51:32
                                             Mine don't either, but "its" vs "it's" is simple if you just - etherice MU - 4/30 15:52:55
                                                  you can apply that principal to most contractions.. - CalicoTiger MU - 4/30 16:13:49
                                                  No I get how to determine which usage of the word you use - awan318 MU - 4/30 15:57:50
     Of course. - tjwheeler UI - 4/30 15:27:02
          In order to win the National Championship, you have to be - etherice MU - 4/30 15:32:55
               Clearly, the offensive talent is there and still getting - Diamond Dave MU - 4/30 15:35:47
                    Hell anyone outside of Bama and LSU would have gotten smoked - Doc_Nice MU - 4/30 15:40:52
                         It's possible they would've given up points, too. You think - Diamond Dave MU - 4/30 15:43:07
                              I think we would have scored at least 17 - Doc_Nice MU - 4/30 15:51:21
          Much better? Let's see, in 2007 Ark., who we manhandled - Diamond Dave MU - 4/30 15:32:07
               But they were in coaching turmoil like UNC was this year - tigerboardnoob MU - 4/30 15:39:23
                    Oh yeah. Forgot those lame excuses. How then did - Diamond Dave MU - 4/30 15:41:33
               We won't really know if those offenses are bad or - BlackFlagTiger MU - 4/30 15:38:31
          The defenses are better, but the offenses are better - BurnLawrenceAgain SEC - 4/30 15:31:29
               'course that was true in the Big 12 as well. The difference - Doc_Nice MU - 4/30 15:35:43
               agree. I think it is going to get exciting this year - BlackFlagTiger MU - 4/30 15:34:13
          How will our defense from the offensive heavy - BlackFlagTiger MU - 4/30 15:30:27
               It's all about the trenches. - tjwheeler UI - 4/30 15:33:59
                    OL towards the top - tigerboardnoob MU - 4/30 15:44:17
                         You put both the MU OL and DL towards the top of SEC?? - tjwheeler UI - 4/30 15:46:59
                              Why wouldnt I put the OLine towards the top? - tigerboardnoob MU - 4/30 15:54:02
                                   So, where would you rank the MU OL and DL in the SEC? - tjwheeler UI - 4/30 15:55:23
                                        RE: So, where would you rank the MU OL and DL in the SEC? - tigerboardnoob MU - 4/30 16:00:14
                    Hard to say - Diamond Dave MU - 4/30 15:38:38
                    MU is recruiting better now as an SEC (future) member... - etherice MU - 4/30 15:36:07
                         Perhaps you are right. - tjwheeler UI - 4/30 15:37:58
                              Mizzou will probably go 5-3 in the SEC next year, unless - etherice MU - 4/30 15:41:28
                              MU is already has big OLineman and has landed - tigerboardnoob MU - 4/30 15:40:50
