re: At what point will SEC fans be convinced Mizzou isn't going to the B1G

They're not from St. Louis then. I have never heard anyone here use the word pop. Soda? Yep Coke? Yep Otherwise it's what they actually want...Dew, Dr. Pepper, whatever.

Actually, most of them are from St. Louis or suburbs in Illinois.

I don't know what the "soda pop" reference is about, but I think it's a dated term. If it has any geographical identify, then that's unknown to me. When I was younger, I heard people say it all the time, but the only people I hear saying it today are senior citizens.

I wouldn't worry about it, because SEC fans love to stick nonsensical labels to their foes. For example, Louisiana has some of the finest cuisine in the nation, but we think they smell like corndogs. That's probably a better description for Aggies, since Texans love to fry everything.
