Is the SEC getting soft? There's been some Mizzou picks but just a year ago and certainly two years ago there would have been over 10 pages of nothing but Mizzou...yankees....soda or pop or whatever....meth...northerners...blah blah blah.

I'd just as soon not see any go but if forced, it's simply a matter of math to me. Don't need more than 1 school from a state. Pick 1 of those that double up a state.

Well I never engaged in picking on y'all but IMNSHO:

1. You were being hazed. The SEC is all about tradition (TAMU got a bit of a pass because Arky shared a conference and LSU has played TAMU since 1899 for somewhere around 53 times!) For perspective, LSU has played Arky 60 times, Auburn 48 times, UGA 29 times.

2. Folks didn't know where to put you geographically. If it were the days of Truman there'd be no question about your roots and certain parts of your state. But tRant isn't great when it comes to geography, history or even complex culture.

3. Ferguson. I'm not saying some understand you more but some understand you more.

4. You were in the wrong conference and time has erased your accent.

5. All has been fairly quiet lately -- no DGD or other players making you look silly.

That all said, if I had to lic
