Maybe we are better than what you and a lot of Ranters give us credit for. No we aren't elite and never claimed to be. Up until the time we got lost in the wilderness in the 80s' and most of the 90s', we were a pretty consistent and steady winner. Seems we have returned to that status.

WOAH there, Tiger.

If you win the SEC East (and then go on to crush your opponent in your bowl game) you are indeed elite. Don't let the SECW clowns fool you. The East is beast.

Never forget the one nice thing about being in the SEC. If you win here, you can call yourself elite.

But, yeah, Mizzou sucks.

No offense, but the numbers say this:

Winning Percentage 1869-1979
Alabama 73%
Tennessee 68%
Louisiana State 65%
Georgia 61%
Auburn 60%
Arkansas 59%
Mississippi 59%
Vanderbilt 58%
Texas A&M 58%
Missouri 57%

...which would have put Missouri at 10th in the conference in win% through 1979.

Perhaps not as good historically as you might have thought. If you want to be in the Big6, you gotta get that win% over 60% minimum.
