re: Big picture, what's the SEC Rant view of Mizzou as a program/member?

My concern is what happens to Mizzou football when Pinkel is gone.
The verdict is still out on their long-term value to the SEC, imo.

No. But I looked it up, y'all actually ranked 24th and that was good for 10th in tSEC last year, behind Tennessee and Arkansas (both had terrible seasons as well).
So we were 24th in the country in attendance after going 5-7 and no bowl game? So fricking what.
The attendance smack is hilarious. We are upgrading our stadium to meet demand. What more do you want?

"Congrats on a top 25 recruiting class!"-too bad you're competing in a conference where 10 other schools rank in the top 25.
"Congrats on an 11 win season and top 5 ranking!"-too bad there are 2 SEC teams in front of you in the top 5.
That just doesn't happen in other conferences.

Interesting, considering I'm the only South Carolina fan in this thread. And somehow you think we're attacking you and mad that "mizzou is overtaking us in the 'pecking order'"? Seems a little insecure and premature to be talking about that type of stuff.

I'm a cards fan, but even the World Series doesn't compare to an average game at Arrowhead. If the Chiefs ever make the Super Bowl again this state will explode. Mizzou v. ATm was bigger than any World Series game. You just cannot compare football and baseball.
I don't think he was referring to specific games; I believe he was referring to the teams' place in Missouri culture. In which case he is correct. No team will ever unseat the Cardinals, at least not in this century.

So.
We are 11-1, 7-1 #5 BCS with in the SECCG in our second year with outside shot at a BCS-MNCG with "shitty" attendance, "shitty" recruiting.
So now what bro? You can win these other "victories" in meaningless stuff as long as this program gets it done on the field.

I get this. But the hyperbole obscures real conversation. We are expanding our stadium and are filling it on the reg. We will be in the top 15 in the country in attendance (EEBE) in 4 years. It's obviously not a "high school stadium." If you don't want to be called out on ridiculous statements by Mizzou fans, don't make them. (And by "you," I mean a general "you" not you specifically.)

You have been barking at Mizzou for a month straight and you try and point to "our" supposed insecurity? Really dog?
Funny stuff.

Perfect GIF response.

Top 25 in the country in either of those things is impressive, but its the norm for the SEC. Basically, I'm saying Mizzou has done what its needed to and if you're an above average SEC team, you're a top program in the country.

So why then do you always slant your shite in a negative way towards us?

I hope that's a rhetorical question.

Just like the consensus with A&M last year, people thought they would improve (or at least stay the same) and they've had a worse year. Now people are saying that they'll be a mid-tier team from here on out.

I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt.

I expected Mizzou to get a lot better but I'm surprised they did it so soon. I did realize they were pretty good early on and picked them in almost every game.
I'm glad they're in the SEC along with A&M.
