Same thing happened when Arky came aboard. They didn't win right away and many of their fans lamented leaving the SWC.
It wasn't the same with USC and A&M, though. The Gamecocks were just glad to have a home. I wonder if they knew then that they were moving into the "mansion on the hill" of college sports?
A&M moved in with the right attitude. With a big middle-finger salute towards Austin, the Aggies swaggered into the conference knowing they had finally arrived where they should have been all along. Their instant success in SEC sports proves they were a sleeping giant - similar to Florida's awakening in the '90s.
Give Mizzou time. Coming to the SEC has been great for USC, Texas A&M and Arky. They were in a toxic relationship with Kansas and the Big 12. New rivalries will kindle a revival of their sports programs.

We won soon enough. Sadly, I don't see this in Missouri's future

You started well with this, but you made the point for the wrong reason.
The attitude that we brought to the SEC was that we would have to toughen up quickly to prove we belonged. That drove everything from the offseason workouts to the conditioning program to the playcalling mindset.
Coach Sumlin STILL pushes the mindset that we have a ways to go. During the Spring Game, when asked about the success by Kirk Herbstreit, he said something to the effect of, "That's great, but we still only finished third in the west"
