That being said, Missouri isn't Southern or "Northern". It's a large mix. My lady friend from the Missisippi Delta region of Missouri (the boot heel) has a practically indecipherable southern accent and calls me a "damn Yankee" every day...and we're both born and raised in Missouri.
Maybe, but a very small percentage of the Missouri population lives below HWy 70.
Virtually no one from the Boot Heel attends Mizzou. I think the Boot Heel folks (if they go to college at all) apply to Tennessee, or somewhere else in the south. The south can keep them.

Look! It's CheeseDick in a Mizzou thread trolling attendance.
the808bass, I know you are not a top Mizzou poster but resorting to name calling shows just how weak your game is. Step it up.
As for the discussion, the question was "I don't get why everyone says MIZZOU doesn't fit in the SEC" and I responded with baseball and football attendance numbers.
Question asked..
Questioned answered..
Simple as that. I never said Mizzou did not fit in the SEC I just pointed out a fundamental dynamic differences between Missouri and the rest of the SEC states. If you get your jimmies rustled when ever someone points out facts then just give up now and admit you would rather name call or bully someone else than actually do something constructive in the Mizzou community to bring the Tigers closer to the norm in the conference they have joined.
Maybe you are one of the Mizzou to the B1G folks and you are still pissed about that. Maybe you loved the old Big 12 and mourn the day you left. Either way it makes no difference to me but if you make no effort to adapt to things of value to most SEC fans (like football and baseball) it is you who will not get out of the SEC the best things the conference has to offer.

Our stadium capacity and average attendance is higher than at least 4 members of the SEC.
Baseball we give no fricks and won't be changing that, so DWI.

When we have the great Cardinals there is no need for college baseball nonsense.

My arse we give no fricks. Cards are about to wrap up the Central and the Royals in it to the end.

I'm referring to College Baseball. Obviously it's an MLB fevered state.

Gotta wade into the deep end to swim with the big dogs. Being bigger than Vandy, Ole Miss, and State is not a big accomplishment. UK has been historically in the NCAA Top 25 until the last year of Joker. They were drawing over 70K for a stadium listed at 67K so that is not bad for a basketball school with a state population a few million or more smaller than MO.
Going forward the Tigers need to be drawing football numbers more like South Carolina or Auburn. Nobody expects them to draw the top - tho that would be great - but they should at least draw the middle as a single state school in a large population state.

That is fine if you choose not to deal with it but if you choose not to, then other SEC schools will say you do not fit. If you do not try to be more like the majority then don't ask questions as to why others think you do not fit because by action the answer is self obvious. You can be more like the norm or you can be the loner. The basic choice is yours.

you will have to get really good in football for LSU fans to care. and by really good i mean Powerhouse good.
at that point you will miraculously appear on our conference schedule for 4 straight years. #MarkWomack

Ive never considered Louisiana a southern state. The normal southern customs, traditions, languages or accent, religions and food aren't really found here (cue the incest and racism comments here). Geographically it doesn't fit much either. It doesn't feel "southern".
1. You've clearly never been to north Louisiana. Get north of Baton Rouge and Avoyelles Parish and it's as stereotypical Southern as is gets.
2. We have some of the largest and most beautiful old plantations in the South.
3. We're a blend between French Catholic Creole culture (by way of France and Haiti), French Catholic Cajuns (by way of Canada), immigrant Catholics (by way of Germany, Ireland, the Canary Islands, and Lebanon), and stereotypical Protestant Southern culture.
To Mizzou fans: We've never even accepted Arkansas fans into the SEC (seriously, those pig f&%kers can go each eat a bag of dicks), what makes you think you will be accepted any time soon?

It's pretty obvious everyone here is jealous of our uniforms.
We should be getting double our conference cut just for bringing some class to this group of motherless dirtballs.

I know Missouri can't be south, because the so called "men" don't hold doors for the women.......I'm female, I can attest to that one.........

They sure talk like southerners down in the Branson area. And with the addition of Texas and Missouri the SEC now has two of the best BBQ states.

Mizzou, Tenn, Arky, and Kentucky are not truly southern. You are mountain people. Not the same.
Yes....... The delta region of Arkansas is clearly mountainess.
Good point and good geography lesson.
