SEC Loyalty (Missouri in the Cotton Bowl)

Cotton Bowl was difficult for me.
I have always liked Oklahomama State, probably because they are not the Sooners. Maybe it was an "enemy of my enemy" thing. Maybe it was solidarity with another "little brother."
By contrast, I had always considered Missouri (when I even bothered to consider Missouri at all) to be something of a non-entity. Sure, they occasionally fielded a decent football team, but they were just a bunch of hillbillies from ... Missouri.
Then we joined the SEC together.
So, I gritted my teeth and cheered for the Tigers last night. Sometimes it was difficult, but I did it.
By the end of the game, Missouri had won me over. I cannot say that I am a fan or anything of the sort, but the Tigers have my respect.
Congrats on a great win!

I find it funny as hell Mizzou and TAMU beat their former Big 12 foes back to back in the Cotton Bowl. Last years Cotton Bowl was better, loved seeing OU get drilled. Their fans was talkin a lot of shite on the SEC about TAMU coming in and doing good, then OU gets smashed in the Cotton Bowl.
You know the Big 12 want to show up the SEC newbies in that bowl. There's a reason the Cotton Bowl wanted Mizzou and TAMU to face their former Big 12 foes. They know the game will be tense, fans will be pumped, etc. I guess they'll have to wait to see if TAMU or Mizzou get in the 2015 Cotton Bowl to teach them a lesson.

Da frick?
You just worry about staying overhyped and attempting to stay ranked so when we beat you annually it only makes us look better.
But hey, real cool uniforms.

Well, luckily it wasn't all about you.
I'm glad you made it through the game and I'm sorry you kind of like a "hillbilly" team now.

I think you meant well, but delivery could improve.
Good thing Mizzou is no longer a SECret to you. I think most Aggies were more aware of its existence.
