Let's face it. Mizzou doesn't really belong in the SEC.

Culturally, geographically, or sports-wise. They are not even Southern and have little to no history with other schools in the conference. Their market is dominated by professional sports. Their 60k-seat stadium is tiny compared to other SEC venues, and yet they can't even fill it most of the time.
The truth is Mizzou has been an afterthought from the very beginning. When the SEC decided to expand back in 2011, the school they were really going after was A&M. But they couldn't just invite A&M alone, which would've caused divisional imbalance and scheduling problems, so they had to add another school and Mizzou just happened to be there to grab.
SEC may stay at 13 teams

Frankly, the SEC couldn't care less about Mizzou and if the Tigers ever leave, no one would notice. 11AM slots are where they belong.

SEC may stay at 13 teams
quote:
Southeastern Conference Commissioner Mike Slive welcomed Texas A&M as the 13th member of the league and said he doesn’t expect to add another team before the Aggies begin play next season.
The SEC announced Sunday that Texas A&M would leave the Big 12 to join the conference next July and will compete in all sports for the 2012-13 academic year. The Aggies are the first newcomers since South Carolina and Arkansas joined the conference in 1992.
During an event that resembled a pep rally, Slive said the SEC wasn’t looking to expand, but that A&M was too attractive an option to ignore.
SEC looking at schedule for 13 teams
quote:
Southeastern Conference Commissioner Mike Slive suggested yesterday that Texas A&M’s admission to his conference may be a one-of-a-kind play and not a pair.
“When Texas A&M joins our conference, we don’t have immediate plans for a 14th member,” Slive said during a speaking engagement in Birmingham, Ala. “We aren’t thinking in terms of numbers. We think about the strength of the SEC and the attractiveness of Texas A&M as an institution.”
The conference is working on a football scheduling formula for next season with 13 teams, Slive said.
It’s been believed that the addition of Texas A&M would prompt an additional team to the SEC to balance the divisions. Missouri and West Virginia have been frequently mentioned in that guesswork.

Missouri is a great fit(culturally). Better than the two schools joining next year

Missouri is 7-3 vs aTm since 2002.
Maybe you dont belong?

They have had a lot more success than the Aggies thus far. Maybe it’s the other way around.

A&M is a gay cult with a campus that doubles as a shrine to the Soviet Union. Your only value to the SEC is providing entertainment as we collectively laugh at you and your constant failures. Learn your place

Interesting. I hadn’t considered this. Apparently it took 5,497,372 versions of this thread before it really hit home.

From an aTm fan of a school that hired an incompetent boob for zillions of dollars and whose football team almost always underachieves with the talent it has.
And it has gay cheerleaders. Those guys make the Village People look straight.

I like Missouri. Glad they joined the SEC with us.
If you going to talk culture misfit... there is one on the way that is not like all the others.

Cope thread.
A&M has chronically underperformed since joining. We get it, you do less with more. It’s ok.

You kinda argued the case against you..
and you don’t even know it.
The SEC is happy at 13. We don’t need a 14th. Then they take a 14th. Easy assumption: They must have wanted them.
for making me defend Missouri

They've actually played in the SEC title game.

ATM is the one that really does not belong. WE ALL KNOW IT.

Another Aggie vs. Mizzou thread! Awesome!
Posted on 9/26/23 at 2:36 pm to 4th and 1
Yes they do.
They belong as much as anyone.
I don’t understand the reasoning for this thread.

PLEASE STOP THESE GODDAMNED MIZZOU THREADS! There must be over a thousand of these fricking threads. They are stupid and unoriginal, and a waste of time even in the offseason.

I think it's fits pretty well, maybe not the best option but isn't the worst either.

Didn't Slive want Misery over OU because they have more eyeballs in their respective states? 
Posted on 9/26/23 at 2:52 pm to 4th and 1
Missouri and Texas A&M both do not belong. Adding them both were mistakes.
