I never knew about the Texas/Mizzou rivalry.

Seems to be a lot of animosity.

Tbh I don’t think any Texas fans knew about it either

I like GAT Boiler Pickle because I appreciate the psychopathy of a Mizzou fan who has turned around and trolled his own fandom with a Texas persona. It's an interesting dynamic.

I don't get it either. I would put Mizzou in the same camp as literally any school that has shared a conference with the Longhorns: that athletic department is greedy and arrogant. I also take their fans less seriously than pretty much any other.
But rivalry? Not even close. We've only played them 24 times and they've mostly beaten the hell out of us. I didn't really think much about Texas at all once we left the Big 12, until they begged us to let them into the SEC because they broke their old conference (again).
Our only true rivals are Kansas and Nebraska, of course the former more so than the latter. We have minor rivalries with Illinois (excellent, but not played frequently enough because Illinois gets tired of losing to us and cancels the games), Iowa State (historic game, but we own them), Oklahoma (historic game, but they own us), and Arkansas (budding little rivalry that Hog fans try to shun).

GAT Boiler Pickle is an obvious alter, all he talks about is Missouri and the REC. Texas fans don't think about either of these things.

Meh, everybody hates Texas for the corporation they are.

Rival? No. Hatred? Yes. Oh trust me, you will feel it to. Just wait. Most pretentious fan base on the planet.

You'll learn.
It's not just us.
It won't take long for you or the rest of the conference to hate them.

To share the same conference with Texas is to hate Texas.

Damn. I had no idea Missouri fans had this big of a victim complex 
This one in particular was my favorite though:
"Broke their old conference" despite doing exactly what Missouri + 3 other teams did before them, and despite the Big 12 having 18 or so teams next year?
Y'all almost make this too easy. If you weren't such incessant crybabies, maybe Texas fans would pick on you less

Texas fans are envious of Mizzou for having escaped the conference they ruined, while they were paying a premium to subscribe to the Longhorn network to watch them lose to kansas

You call it what you want: you needed Mizzou to vote "Yes" just as much as every other school. And unlike Aggy, Mizzou didn't throw a big ol fit about Texas joining the conference.

Now, I wonder what it was that caused those four teams to exit the Big 12? I remember hearing something about an exodus to the PAC-10 by the Texas and Oklahoma schools, a Longhorn Network, a relocation of the conference headquarters from Kansas City (where they'd been for the entire Big Eight's existence) to Dallas, and railroading favorable bylaws with the help of your Texas and Oklahoma school cronies and isolating the old core of the Big Eight.
Pretty sure Texas broke the SWC. I don't think Arkansas left because it was just so wonderful to be with y'all.

This X 1000. Texas poisoned the SWC, and then the Big 12. Hopefully the SEC is strong enough to avoid the same fate, but Texas will try.

Go ahead and look up Arkanasas' record against Texas when they shared a conference as well (hint: it'll look very similar to Missouri's vs. Texas in the Big 12)

Nobody at Mizzou feels like a victim. We just don’t like you. To be fair, that is a pretty universal feeling.
Mizzou got a lot of shite for being liberal. Wait until opposing fans visit Austin.
