M-I-Z!!! S-E-C!!! I grew-up in the Missouri bootheel and we sometimes played AR and TN HS teams. It's a natural fit for me (hate Yankees). The absolute best thing that EVER happened to Mizzou athletics, period. Thanks for having us!

I grew up in the bootheel as well, so with easy to KY, TN, and AR right across the border, the SEC move didn't feel all that different culturally to me.I concede, I was against the move at first, but I never imagined the move would have worked out as well as it has.The only bad thing is the travel to the southern schools is a lot farther away, and basketball has seemed like less of a priority.
While I don't think the Tigers will ever be a recruiting powerhouse in the south, it's rather apparent solid recruits in the south have taken notice (the most recent recruit from LA who just committed last week said as much).I get the Tigers will be viewed as an outsider for a long time, but hopefully over time they will be embraced like all the other SEC instituitions.
Much respect to all the other long standing SEC members, and thanks for the invite.
