We really need to find some middle ground on this. Mizzou fans get tired of being told how much better the SEC is than where we came from, how the season is a total grind, etc. etc. and it pisses us off. Then Mizzou fans turn around and say our bad season had nothing to do with the SEC....we would have sucked in any conference this year, etc. etc. I think the truth lies somewhere in between these 2 stances.
There is no question we played the toughest schedule we have played in many, many years (perhaps ever) and that is because of our move to the SEC. We are about to play our 5th top 10 team on Saturday and every single one of them is a conference game.
I am quite certain the long time SEC folks are just as tired of hearing us say this as we are of hearing how much better the SEC is.
I see things on this board all the time that piss me off, but I never respond. We are the newbies and we are having a bad year....we have to put up with the hazing for a while. Our day will come.

Good point. It would have been better to say, "Mizzou issues this season would have left them in bottom tier of BIG XII. Same issues exacerbated by playing multiple top ten teams in the SEC."
What I was trying to say is that, Mizzou's season would have been sub par in either conference.
