Two Years In

Hmmm, I have no idea what the other sports have done outside of Football.

Didnt A&M make it to a regional this year in baseball?

And they actually won something(JFF's Heisman).

You gotta go with A&M.

ETA: Forgot that Mizzou won the East last year. I guess that counts for something.

It's the Conference, and it's Mizzou, because they got to an SEC Championship.

Because if we're being real, football is the only measuring stick that matters.

mizzou

A&M. They elevated themselves into a big time program after finishing 3rd in the West in 2012.

A&M I guess

As far as football goes, I think A&M's biggest accomplishments were more focused on their status within the state of Texas. They've jumped both OU and Texas as the #1 destination choice for Texas HS athletes (even if it's only temporary in the case of UT). I mean, they are racking up top 10 recruiting classes now, which they wouldn't have done in the Big 12. They have also received more national publicity than Mizzou, despite Mizzou winning the SEC East last year.

I don't know who accomplished more in the other sports, since neither did anything very memorable that I'm aware of.

Football is pretty damn even. Mizzou's east championship probably gives them a slight edge. We have a better winning percentage and that extra bowl berth, both have a #5 finish in the polls I believe. We have also split our two matchups head to head. It depends on what you value more, but the difference isn't great.


In the other two sports neither has really done much of anything

Basketball we are bad, like right around 500 I believe while Mizzou has one tourney appearance with an early exit

Baseball Mizzou is bad while we have two regional appearances, which isn't anything to celebrate.

The rest of the sports overall we are probably better because of how much we put into them but WGAS. They don't move the needle as far as reputation. It's really close to dead even, with a slight edge to Mizzou for winning the east last year

I'd say A&M, but by a slim margin. Neither of them has actually won anything. So, after figuring that, you gotta go with, "who's brought the most visibility to the conference?" The easy answer is A&M.

JFF, Matthews, Evans were all first round picks in football. A&M was one of the must-see teams to watch. Mizzou brought visibility by winning a terrible East (though, they did beat A&M), and the spotlight of Michael Sam.

I'd say both did their part to bring visibility to the conference in football, with A&M having the slight edge. Honestly, the both had more value in that aspect than Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Kentucky, Vanderbilt and Arkansas have had in a while.

In baseball (which, really is a niche national sport), Mizzou might as well play softball. Edge to A&M. In basketball, I'm actually quite dissapointed in Mizzou in particular, as that program should have been the biggest asset to the conference.

Has either won an SEC championship yet? Just curious... I have no idea
