re: Mizzou doesn't get the respect they deserve.

I think most folks are missing the point here. Not many people thought Mizzou could compete going into the SEC - this includes a lot of negative Mizzou fans. 2012 proved them right. Having any level of success in the SEC has been a huge accomplishment for an underrated program.

Winning Conference Championships or competing for national titles was never considered a realistic measure of success for Mizzou. I guess we've exceeded expectations enough to move the bar.
