Missouri doesn't belong in the SEC
Yet here we are.
We're the cousin you grew up never knowing. Now that we're all grown up, we have a new relationship, but we're still getting to know each other.
Missouri was a slave state, had a confederate government, contributed up to 90,000 troops for the CSA and was one of the top three states in the Civil War for number of battles shedding our blood on our soil. Missouri was one of the true states where brother battled brother and family battled family. Missouri paid an awful price, just like other southern states.
But even if none of that were true, we're still a part of the SEC, and I will always root for any SEC team to beat anybody outside the conference.

Shhh, most of us would rather be pessimists because an optimist is never pleasantly surprised.

I'm not sure why they would. Breaking pussies who try to run up the middle on SEC defenses is completely within the rules.

You didn't?
The true Gumps (not the sidewalkers) are the most sensitive bunch on the planet. You supposed to root for them just because they are the greatest thing that ever happened to this country. They are Bama.

Actually, between 40,000 to 50,000 to the CSA. More than 100,000 to the Union. I am not re-fighting the war, though my great-grandfather, a lieutenant, was killed by a Yankee sniper at Petersburg, Va. But lets be accurate. By the way, of all the Northern states, Indiana committed the most troops to the South, more than 200,000.

There is a documented source that formally shows Missouri had registered over 52,000 to the Confederacy. But that does not count those who fought but did not register, or the many thousands who registered with other states to fight. Here is a source for the 90,000:
"The Union Army states that 'Missouri was one of the last as well as one of the first states to feel the curse of Civil War. During the contest she furnished to the Federal government a total of 109,111 men, exclusive of the militia she maintained to keep peace within her borders and protect her people from the raids of the guerrillas, Jayhawkers and other predatory bands who were actuated more by the prospect of plunder than by principles or patriotism.' The total number of Missourians who supported the Confederacy and joined its armies in various Southern states is unknown. Estimates, however, range from "more than" 40,000 to 100,000, with the best estimate of 90,000.

Whether 50,000 or 100,000, Missouri was a member of the Confederacy and sent its sons en masse to fight and die for the cause.
