Wrong. Alabama is the only school in favor of 9 games to help the problem with continuing long standing rivalries and to play more SEC teams. The rest of the league are bitches
I think it would be great honestly. Except...
We are stuck with Clemson (pull for South Carolina).
And we really also need to play a North Carolina team every year.
So that leaves one game free, which I guess would be filled with an FBS school?
Kentucky is in the same boat, and Florida and Georgia (except none need to play a team in another state for recruiting exposure).
Maybe we really don't need to play a NC school. Dunno. But my theory is it helps, and we need to have a presence there, even if Georgia is the most important state to us (after SC).
Clemson really makes out with their schedule in that regard. Georgia, Florida, and NC opponents every year guaranteed.
Part of me wishes we could schedule teams from the West Coast or something, but if you start out saying Clemson is one OOC opponent, and you really want to play a NC team, that only leaves two games free.

You didn't have a say in it.

They can get the flying frick out of the SEC and this wouldn't be a problem. Those Yankees don't belong here with the big boys anyway.

Not fair at all to Missouri student athletes to have to travel those long distances
it's not the athletes, it's the fans. I don't think they travel well. maybe they didn't in their last conference either, I don't know.

Its no that big a deal really. Even the non revs are flying in the day before for the most part. Beats Tuscon to Seattle.

That works too....
Whateva makes you guys happy...
Our only rival is Ole Miss....other than that we will play anybody...

You can keep crying about it endlessly on message boards...not going to change anything, unfortunately. Need to realize most of these fans didn't want this shite either but University leadership found a way to get paid and get away from TX. Whether basketball or football, there is something to be said about being able to drive 3-4 hours to Lincoln, Manhattan, Lawrence, Ames, and 5 hours to the OK schools vs. having to fly to pretty much any school other than Arky, UK or Vandy from COMO. For this family of four, we have better ways of spending $$ than shelling out $1500 or more to go to Knoxville, Athens, Gainesville etc. when we could head to Colorado or somewhere else with more to offer than a football game and the college bar scene. Yeah it sucks for everyone, no regard for history, rivalries and fans, so we sit and watch the games on TV and ensure the tv rights just get richer. So yah, pretty sure most of us would love to gtfo as well...message boards like this are pretty much for the classless and pompous blowhards who can't ever seem to see the glass half full (this directed at MIZ fans here as well who just seem to make it worse). I've lurked for a long time but never really posted, but yah, it's clear MIZ is not a good fit on many different levels, but not likely to change so if should you ever choose to embrace it, you might be surprised by COMO, KC, STL, Ozarks, etc. Doubtful that we are going anywhere despite the endless rants on here.

It is disrespectful to the SEC for Missouri to be a member.

I can't believe a fat drunk who can't find his pants has Auburn fans this insane over Auburn moving to the east.

Missouri belongs in the MAC conference. It would be a perfect fit for them.
