I'm not crazy about Mizzou coming into the SEC. I'm not sure they are as good or natural a fit as a school like Florida State, Clemson or Georgia Tech would be. A&M makes sense but Mizzou not as much.
Why does Texas A&M makes sense over Mizzou when Mizzou is closer to all SEC campuses? Which makes them geographically closer.

You're fighting a losing battle. His usage was atypical, but acceptable. I don't even know why you're persisting.

A&M has a connection to the following schools:
LSU - historic rivalry (50 games played)
Arkansas - 68 games played
Bama - multiple coaches: Bear Bryant, Fran, Stallings
State - Jackie Sherrill
Missouri has no connection to any current SEC member, save Arkansas (a school they've played only 5 times). In fact, the only SEC school they've played more than 5 times is Ole Miss who they've played a whopping 6 times in 100 years.
The geographical distance is meaningless. When you throw out Arkansas (wouldn't that be awesome!), College Station is more or less the same distance from other SEC schools as Columbia is. Texans are rich as shite and sit on a shitpot of oil so they can afford to travel.
You Hog fans should just be happy to finally have a rival who gives a shite that you exist and is a mere 223 miles away.
The Aggies and LSU already hate each other and we'll settle quite nicely back into a heated rivalry while continuing to not give a shite that Arkansas exists. I'm sure the Aggies already don't acknowledge your existence so that will probably be the only thing the Aggies agree with us on.
