Right, so why does nobody think mizzou can do the same thing. We don't even have a big brother holding us back. SCar and Arky both took years to adjust, so I don't understand the bullshite people sling about "mizzou gonna be a failure" because we went 5-7 in year 1

I think you are seeing two distinct messages and viewing them as the same.

Group A will razz the Tigers even if they have a good year
Group B will call Mizzou when they puff and fail but will give Mizzou credit when they do well

The part of your post in BOLD is the key part of your statement. Neither Arkansas or South Carolina did it quickly. Understand that and much of the issues will become non issues. I said at the very beginning I hoped Mizzou would do well but I did not expect that for at least the first 3-5 of SEC membership. I still feel this is the case. If Mizzou finishes upgrading to 77K and can fill it consistently then they can move up the financial ranks quickly to somewhere between where the Cocks and Hogs are now.

Very valid statement Belle
