No, they'd go. But if the Cardinals were playing the World Series at the same time Mizzou was playing the SECCG, they would be too busy for Mizzou.

No we didn't

12k of our 16k allotment was already pre sold before they even went to the public.

Auburn maybe got 1k or so.

This doesn't even count the open market we have bought.

Probably just barely in MUs favor. They don't travel well. Never saw any of them in CS like NU or the OK schools back in B12 days. They always get passed over for bowls because bowls don't believe they'll fill the stadium.


Nonsense.

No worries. We want to make sure that if we ever go, we can actually win the game. IIRC, y'all are 0-3...

It's not cocky...the fact is that we bought all the tickets.


Where are you getting this from? You didn't buy all of Mizzou's tickets. I bought some off the site, and Mizzou had already sold at least 10k to season ticket holders before the remaining were put up on the website. You probably got 1-2k of them. If you think 1-2k =16k then I guess I can't really help you.

I'd say it will be closer to 65/35 Auburn maybe even 60/40 because of it being our first SECCG.

Not even close. Do you know how well our fan base travels? We outnumbered Oregon by a lot in Arizona.

But but but Newbies and stuff.

Having said that, I won't be shocked at all if the crowd is 75-25.

I believe your fans travel well, but are you really comparing a game in Arizona that is 1200 miles from Eugene to a game in St. Louis that is 100 miles from Columbia and also happens to be home to many Mizzou alums?

There is honestly not much of a difference in traveling from Auburn to Phoenix and traveling from Eugene and Phoenix.

Those yanks are too busy concerning themselves with KC Chiefs football and the StLCards offseason.

Barn would still dominate attendance in Missouri.

What is it with you Arkansas fans today wanting to move the SECCG? It's in Atlanta, and it'll stay there till Birmingham builds a dome and we bring that game back home



New Rule: If your team HASN'T WON the SECCG, you get no fricking vote in moving it.

So MU didn't get passed over by KU a few years ago? Or in 2010 when a 9 win a&m got invited to the Cotton and 10 win MU fell all the way to insight. MU gets disrespected because they don't have a large rabid fan base.

Saw Mizzou, LSU, and A&M in Oxford this year. MU traveled better than A&M or LSU. It's just one game, but it's true.

what would the break down of the crowd be? Auburn fans are getting cocky with the smack talk of a 80/20 crowd in Atlanta. It has more to do with geography than fan support. In ST louis its probably 80/20 Missouri fans.


60-40. Auburn would travel to St. Louis, at least at first. Now, if we've already played Mizzou up there a few times, or already played in the title game a few times, sure. But it would be unique, at least at first.

If I was a Mizzou fan I'd definitely be coming heavy to this game, it's not like you guys have played football here very much.

Is that why the picked 9 win lower ranked a&m over 10 win higher ranked MU? You can claim whatever you want but bowls and ticket sales show otherwise. You sold your tickets to auburn fans.

Ask Ole Miss if that is true. We travel well from what I can tell. When were in the big 12 I don't think too many people got jazzed for Saturdays in Manhattan Kansas or Ames Iowa.
