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.

Well no, I live in Kansas actually and unfortunately Manhattan of all places. I really do understand why you left the Big XII.

I'm just saying that Missouri will have a tougher time fitting into the SEC than Nebraska in the Big Ten.

Several arguments have been forwarded, one of them was games played, well NU wins that one. You talk about teams "bordered" what ever that means...I think that one is null. You "border" four B1G schools, one of which you share a long standing rivalry, and four SEC. Your population doesn't sit in the Southern portion of your state and the University of Missouri isn't anywhere near your SEC borders. Culturally MO is a mixed bag between the Midwest and South, sure but Nebraska is not, its fully Midwestern. Granted, its not Great Lakes/Rust Belt Midwest but its Midwestern nonetheless.

Besides, Nebraska already fits remarkably well in the B1G. They're a "has been", lost to an SEC team in January and blew a heartbreaking game early in the season to a bad non-conference opponent. Perfect fit.
