re: Weird statistic about Mizzou vs the SEC

You lived in St. Louis and didn't see any Mizzou fans? What an idiotic lie.

Truth be told, they were probably all in Cards gear.

I mean I do. Its a thread intended to falsely inflate the ego of Mizzou posters.

Do you not understand why I have a valid criticism?

It is a Mizzou thread dominated by Mizzou posters. They are never going to get it and they certainly do not take your point well.

Many are giving the Tigers credit for winning the East, just as somebody else posted already it is very cyclical and Mizzou is in the up cycle while UT and UF are in their down cycle. Florida is back to Florida pre Pell and I can not remember a point in my life where the Vols have been this down (and I am old). UGA seems locked in the "almost there" stage since the 80s', but for whatever reason can not clear that last hurdle or two. Over time this should balance out and the we will get a feel where Mizzou really fits.

Unlike TAMU, they have been able to avoid the AL and LA games at a time when those 3 schools are at peak. This is a valid point made by non Mizzou posters and avoided by some hard line Mizzou folks. Just like Mizzou - through no fault of their own - missed Florida in the Pell to Meyer era (Gators peak) and The Vols under the command of the Major or the Fat Man. Where the thin skin comes from is winning the East and not getting the respect, which probably had more to do with losing to Indiana than anything else.

The bigger point is the Hogs came from the old SWC and it affects the chip on some Hogs shoulders today. TAMU and MU are similarly shell shocked from their Big 12 days so I get them having the hair on their back up when they feel challenged or slighted, even if no intention slight exists. Hopefully where they fit in the SEC will sort itself out in first 5 - 10 years of their transition and both sides will chill out a bit.

Football starts tomorrow so can we all kick back and enjoy the new season and let this thread die? No matter who wins the East this fall, they still must win the SEC CCG to bring real respect back to the East from the West.

Peace Out my SEC brothers from other mothers.

LOL. Wait a second here... The Big 8 has no history of national champions? Oklahoma, Nebraska, Colorado? The Big 12 wasn't a fixture in the national title games in the late 90's and early 00's? I love how the SEC is this jaggernaut, feel free to ignore eras where they were not.

Brings me to point two. Then the SEC fans get bent out of shape when it is pointed out that Mizzou has been beating everyone except Alabama even before they joined the conference. "Oh those don't count"

So basically throw shite at wall and all that sticks is that which supports "SEC hard" except when Mizzou and A&M win then "SEC down".

I'll never get another good nights sleep until the Ranters respect Mizzou.

Hopefully we don't suck and win the East again.

SEC fans in 2012: We told y'all you can't compete with the Big Boys.

SEC fans in 2013: We really aren't as big and bad as we thought but we'll say that the East is down because these Big 12 boys dun come up in here and rocked our world.

SEC fans in 2014: The West is the real SEC even though only the last placed team can win a dang ol' Bowl Game. Big 10 dun whipped our arse!!!!

The whole "success" of Florida football has been a run by Spurrier and a run by Urban Meyer.

The rest of their time (by rant logic) they ain't been jack shite.

Now you get it, although you probably need to start with Pell and end with Meyer.

Pell was a cheater?

Multiple vacated seasons.

No doubt, but Pell got the Gators from crappy to good enough for a coach like Spurrier to take them home. I really believe if Charlie Pell did not get them to another level, Gators never get to the next level. While I think Spurrier has done wonders for South Carolina, not sure how he would have fared building from scratch - Envision Spurrier starting with VU or UK normal talent.
