And yet anyone in the college baseball world considers Arkansas the much better baseball program than Missouri’s.

Why, because we don’t have players on teams like Michael Sam?

“Southern Comfort” has a certain ring to it.

What baggage? Racism? I grew up in the north. I saw more overt racism up north than I’ve seen the south.

The SEC doesn’t exist anymore. People are clinging to a conference that is no more. Plus it’s inevitable that it will expand to new geographic regions.

Time for a fresh brand.


All current teams are south and east of the geographic center of the continental united states (Lebanon Kansas, which is in the central norther part of Kansas, just a bit north of Columbia Missouri and just barely west of Austin Texas).

South Bend is too far north for that to hold true, But most of WV and VA and even MD are technically in the south east. Same is true for the most southern parts of Indiana, Illinois, and even the very southern tip of Ohio. OK State, Baylor, Houston and TCU are still in the Southeast by that measure. Texas Tech is not.

edit: Both Kansas and Kansas State are south and east of Lebanon as well.

Actually a decent point but is the sec really to blame? The story we were “told”……. is Texas and Ou approached the sec and said let us in or we are going to the big ten. Obviously laws dictate the sec can’t approach another conference member but it could still be true. Either way the sec or Texas initiated this round of expansion. The big is going to 24 teams and for those that say fine let ‘em just know when it’s time to negotiate playoff spots they will bully the sec and get more spots.


Let the Big10 grow.
Let them have all four time zones.
Let their xtra jumbo pizza feed 24 slices.
Let our jumbo pizza feed 16 slices.





Then in the future, let’s allpare back down to 6 or 7 leagues of 10/12 teams when we realize that expansion watered down the two best conferences.




Yet nobody wants to INCREASE # of conferences.

Let's hold a vote. Your school gets one vote for every time you've won the SEC in football.

Mizzou fans should come together and RA to have this guy removed from this community.

Sometimes, some members simply go too far.

I want it geographical. The old PAC12 members have absolutely fricked the athletes in any sport but football (not great for them either). They have to fly six hours from the west coast to places like Rutgers for a weekend, but what about every other sport? Baseball may have to travel on a Thursday morning for a F-S-Su series, and land at home at 2 o clock in the morning for most of the season. Two days of class down the tube, probably three because they'll land so late on Sunday/Monday AM.

Missouri should for sure GTFO, but at least they're in proximity to the rest of the schools.

College football will go back to regionality soon, first the media wants to trim the fat. Eventually the sec and big will merge. Why pay multiple staffs millions when one can do it. It’ll probably still look like afc vs nfc but one staff overseeing it all, the tv deals will be even bigger bc it’ll be one conference selling rights to all broadcasters.

The SEC is really the only P5.$ regional conference left. What do you want some dumbass BIG 10 or BIG 12? Stupid monikers to begin with.
