Bottom line: college football has to dominate the culture of either the entire state, or a huge portion of the state. This means Kentucky and Mizzou are not really part of the SEC culture. Miami is not a college town, but the northern half of Florida has a strong college following, so the Gators are SEC culture.

If most Mizzou followers care more about the Rams, Chiefs, Cardinals or Royals, then Mizzou is not a part of the SEC culture and will never fit in.

Do you fill your stadium every game? Do your fans travel well to bowl and away games? Do you get just as excited when you land a 5 star DT as when you land a 5 star QB?

Go frick yourself. We are in the top 25 in attendance for football every year.

Most SEC fans just can't comprehend caring about another sport in addition to football because they've never been good at anything else. And some have never even been good at that.

I really hope not, Rams home games look half empty most of the time.

Now this response I find interesting. You do have a point about college football, but I guess I could some it up as a have-not telling us we have, therefore we have-not.

PS...Some Thomas Jefferson trivia for you...

Where is Thomas Jefferson's original tombstone located?
