I didn't know there was such a thing as a college baseball snob. Funny stuff, really.
To be fair, this is the same conversation had during football season. Missouri is a pro sports state. There is nothing wrong with that, but MU doesn't stand a chance in the SEC if its fan base would choose a Chiefs, Rams, Cards, Royals, etc. game over MU.

Mizzou fans would show up if they field winning teams. The OU vs Mizzou game awhile back was one of the loudest games I've heard. You know Mizzou is good when the "Rocky M" hill is covered and you can't see the "M". If you suck, people won't show up as much. I've seen SEC stadiums last season that wasn't full, not loud, etc because their teams sucked.
This is the time for Mizzou football to really get some fans with the RAMS and CHIEFS sucking. One thing people need to do is invest in Mizzou's facilities. I heard they've had some GOOD donations from big donors come in, plenty more still coming. Fans in KC and STL stepped up for the Chiefs, CARDS(now building ballpark village), Royals in terms of stadium support, now Mizzou have to field good teams to get that same support across the state.

Football isn't apples to apples with baseball. NFL games are on Sunday and there aren't very many of them, 8 home games for both Rams and Chiefs. Royals and Cards have 81 home games each. That is a big difference.
Mizzou will compete just fine in baseball given a few years of SEC recruiting. There is just no way fans are going to drive in mass from St.Louis and KC for baseball games like they do for Mizzou football games.
