re: Why are Mizzou Fans so Butthurt about Being in the SEC?

I'm sure that's a sticking point with a minority of their fans but you have to understand that they lost almost all of their old rivalries at once while A&M fans had dealt with the slow burn of money destroying CFB rivalries for a couple of decades.

Losing Texas, Tech, and Baylor wasn't as tough b/c we'd already lost SMU, TCU, Houston, and Rice. Also, we gained back two lost rivalries with LSU and Arkansas.

Mizzou on the other hand had hardly played SEC teams over the years to the point that several years in A&M is still the SEC team they have played the most w/just 15 games on the books.
