Is there a different buzz in the air about our football program?

That says it all when it comes to the identity of Mizzou football. That's exactly the difference, Mizzou football finally has an identity. Yeah we had some decent years with Smith. Then the Daniels era brought us to national relevancy, but that only lasted a year. I feel like there is more of a sense of pride with Mizzou football. No longer are they the program on the way up. They are the program that has arrived. This season will go a long way in legitimizing this program. Pinkel and Mizzou never had a three straight season with double digit wins.
Could this be the year we finally show consistency?

There is no "S" on the end of Chase Daniel.
We are a legit program. Period.
Averaging 9.1 wins a year for 10 years now is damn consistent. Period.
End of discussion.

Well, shite.......just let me revoke my Mizzou fandom.

**Independence Bowl Champions W 38–31 vs. South Carolina**
2006: 8-5 (4-4) 2nd in the Big 12 North
**Sun Bowl, L 38–39 vs. Oregon State**
2007: 12-2 (7-1) Big 12 North Champions
**Oklahoma, L 17–38 in Big 12 Championship**
**Cotton Bowl Classic Champions vs. Arkansas, W 38–7**
**Finished 4th in the AP Poll**
2008: 10-4 (5-3) Big 12 North Co-Champions **Oklahoma, L 21–62 in Big 12 Championship**
**Alamo Bowl Champions vs. Northwestern, W 30–23 OT**
**Finished 19th in the AP Poll**
2009: 8-5 (4-4) 2nd in the Big 12
**Texas Bowl vs. Navy, L 13–35**
2010: 10-3 (6-2) 2nd in the Big 12

2012: 5-7 (2-6) 5th in the SEC East
2013: 12-2 (7-1) SEC East Champions
**SEC Championship Game, L 42–59 vs. Auburn**
**Cotton Bowl Champions, W 41–31 vs. Oklahoma State**
**Finished 5th in the AP Poll**
2014: 11-3 (7-1) SEC East Champions
**SEC Championship Game vs. Alabama, L 13–42**
**Citrus Bowl vs. Minnesota, W 33–17**
**Finished 14th in the AP Poll**
If any thing the last 10 years have told me that we have been good at being decent, pretty damn good, decent, and back to pretty damn good.
I'd like to see us get over the hump. That's the buzz in the air.
Maybe we take a step back this year? 2016 will be a hell of a year and I think you'll see Mizzou become more of a consistent top program.

No offense, and this will sound harsh, but the program has not "arrived" until they can win a damn conference title.
1969 was the last conference championship

There's a reason for the pattern you see. Your decent years are typically a QB's first year starting. 2012 in a sense fits that because Berk played so much that year. The anomaly to it is Mauk in his first year. Chase won 8 his first year, then double digits. Blaine won 8 games his first year, then double digits. Franklin won 8 his first year(then the anomaly because of many factors one being Berk being thrown to the sharks of the SEC), then double digits. Mauk won double digits his first year and if history tells us anything, the record should only get better (somehow) his last 2 years at QB.

I don't think we've arrived as an elite program but we've arrived on the national scene.

This. obviously I want all the divisions titles as possible, there's nothing better than seeing Tennessee and Georgia fans cry, but I will never be truly satisfied until we win a National Championship.

I posted the correct answer to what you asked. Now you are just moving the target to ask a different question.
No where in your original post do you say anything about Mizzou being elite or even championships. You want to know when Mizzou will be a legitimate program. When Mizzou has arrived. When Mizzou will be a consistent winner. After the 80s and 90s that is most certainly a legitimate question but it is clear that we have most definitely arrived on the football scene again.
Mizzou is legitimate, strong, damn good football program and has consistently been one for 10 years now. Mizzou has won several division titles and produces tons of NFL talent. They are most certainly one of the top teams in all of college football. The vast majority of teams would kill to have our resume.
Now are we elite. No.
I would argue that since we have no tradition, it would take winning 2+ national titles or at minimum 3+ SEC titles before anyone outside Missouri considered Mizzou elite. We would have to "suffer" through what Oregon has been going through the past few years.
I would argue that Oregon right now is elite, however until they win it all they will always hear about USC and UCLA being down. Was Florida elite before the 90s? It took several titles for them to earn that rep.
Also, if you want to feel better about the team, go back through those same last 10 years and cherry pick out the good games instead of the bad ones. There are many more good ones than bad.

Red Blood Teams - All Teams that play the All-American sport of College Football.
Maroon Blood Teams - Recent good seasons, but either a longstanding history of being bad or still having the occasional "clunker" year. Can move up by making the playoff. Mizzou, TCU, Baylor, Ole Miss.
Purple Blood Teams - Have turned the corner, a National brand, but haven't won the NT or at least not in a while. Always get the benefit of the doubt when rankings come out. Can get to the next level with Playoff appearance. Oregon, Stanford, Miami, Nebraska, Penn State, Tennessee, Florida, UCLA, A&M, LSU, Auburn.
Blue Bloods - No matter what they do on the field, the Brand Rules. - Bama, Texas, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Michigan, FSU, Georgia, USC, Oklahoma.
Just my 2 cents.

Mizzou is a good program than is now considered a program that is on the lips of the national media and now the local media isn't ignoring them anymore.

Maybe amongst ourselves, but not really nationally. It is simply a product of our history and geography.

Yup. Need no further proof.
