re: Mizzou has no right to be cocky

I'm sure flarduh fans felt the same way when they were coming out of the dark ages, y'all are a very recent college football super power. Hell it took arky and scar years to do it, I think it's an accomplishment, don't give me east was down blah blah, I honestly don't care

I get this from aTm and Mizzou. I really do. But to many of us, it's not a big deal. I'm not sure if that makes sense or not and it's certainly not intended as a flame to either of the new kids.

It's a big deal to us because we were told (repeatedly) we'd never win jack shite in the SEC.

As to the OP... None of the Mizzou ranters I know are cocky. The push back some have is in response to the bullshite we took (and continue to take) from a faction of the old guard here. "You don't belong", "We're gonna push your shite in", "Y'all didn't recruit SEC depth" blah, blah, blah.

We won the East last year when nobody gave us a chance in hell.

Were we lucky? idgaf. No luckier than Auburn was to win the West.

Their luck came on the field in back-to-back weeks to close the regular season, while ours came via our East opponents inability to overcome their injuries.

Regardless, it doesn't diminish the joy of the season or pride in the accomplishment.
