Teams? You don't border teams and seriously, borders don't mean jack shite. Missouri doesn't border UT or Vandy and Columbia is hardly close to Knoxville.


Ya'll also have a much longer history with Big Ten teams than you do with SEC teams. Not counting games with Nebraska you all have played B1G members 88 times. That's second only to the number of games you've played against the Big Eight/Big XII. Adding in Nebraska to that number and it will take you TWENTY years of SEC conference play to have played SEC teams as many times as you've played Big Ten teams.

Look, I don't have anything against Missouri, in fact I hold your state in high regard compared to my current state of residence. I just don't think you fit in the SEC.

So you're focus of argument is the fact Mizzou hasn't played many SEC teams in the past...

Like I said, Nebraska is a great fit in the BIG10. But I don't get how you can say they are a FAR better fit when they only border 1 BIG team, and Mizzou borders 4 in the SEC. And yes, I consider that relevant. More relevant than how often we've played teams in the past.

Arkansas is still without a true natural rival. Mizzou offers that, and it will develop. We've already had a bunch of recruiting battles. Are states blend together with the Ozark region... Yeah Missouri isn't grits south, but its a mixed state that would have fit with both the BIG and the SEC.

And now I know you're goofy, SC is a much cooler state to live in than Missouri. I guess I've always held SC in high regard, maybe its that palm tree moon logo, I always liked that.
