So Dan Devine did 13 seasons as Mizzou's head coach huh?

Nice
A record of 92-38-7
Devine later won a natty at Notre Dame, and his one loss that year was to Ole Miss in Jackson
Does any of that qualify as "Mizzou SEC history"?

We were a Big 8 team back then.
We kicked SEC teams arses back then on the regular
What’s the question OP?

Supposedly in real life, Dan Devine was a big fan of Rudy and encouraged his entry into that game against Georgia Tech
He was said to have been angry about how they portrayed him in the movie

Little known fact- my Irish great grandfather was a Devine.

You did? Well let's see, I'm looking at that
You lost to Vanderbilt
You lost to Georgia
You lost to Kentucky
You did beat Florida in a bowl
You lost to Kentucky again
You beat Alabama in a bowl
That's a Dan Devine/Mizzou record of 2-4 versus the SEC
Do you make a habit of just making shite up?

Thinking more of the 70s when we owned Ole Miss, (just like now) along with Auburn, State, and whipped a great Bama team

Kansas later had to forfeit their win other Missouri in 1960 due to an ineligible player. Missouri was the #1 team in the land. Even though they got the loss turned into a win, it was too late to get back in the NC hunt. Missouri should be the 1960 national champion over Minnesota and has more of a claim than Mississippi.

So being 3-1 against Ole Miss in the 70's qualifies as "kicking SEC arse on the regular"?

I normally didn’t pay much attention to SEC games from 1960-1980, because we had much bigger games and wins vs. teams like Oklahoma, Nebraska, Ohio State, Notre Dame, and USC. Ole Miss was like a beetle under our feet
We were like 8-1 against SEC teams from 1970-1984 but I’m not 100% sure on exact record. Wins were pretty easy to come by against SEC teams back then

If I'm not mistaken, I think the Big Eight and Big Ten were much quicker to integrate than the SEC. Looks like the SEC was at a low point in the mid-late 1970s with only Bama and UGA really being great

Yes, integration was a big factor in the Southern dominance of modern CFB

SWC was very late in integration. Many stud athletes from Texas went elsewhere to play. I know Johnny Roland left South Texas to play for Mizzou. He was their first black captain and helped lead that bowl win over Florida.

Along with his 92-38-7 record at Mizzou, Devine was 53–16–1 at Notre Dame during his 6 years there.
I always thought that he was under-appreciated while at ND, even though he won a National Championship while there (with Joe Montana as QB). This was probably because he had the unfortunate timing of following Ara Parseghian as coach. In 2011, Notre Dame (finally) acknowledged his achievements by erecting a statue of him outside the stadium. It was funded mainly by his ex-players so he was definitely not as unpopular as Hollywood would have you believe.

Devine was allegedly pissed off at how he was portrayed in Rudy. I think it's Wiki or something that said he agreed that he would play the "heavy" in the movie, but that he never thought he was going to be portrayed in such a negative light.

We had absolutely crushed Ole Miss to the tune of 34-13 the week before. Notre Dame lost to those little shits and ended up vaulting over us to win the '77 national crown. Our only loss was a 31-24 defeat at the hands of Nebraska (the same day Notre Dame lost to Ole Miss), who ended up finishing in the Top 10 that year. Ole Miss finished 5-6.

I was on the training staff at Ole Miss in 77 when we beat ND in Jackson. Fine Day.

Both Bama and Notre Dame had great teams that year. I think ND won the championship that year because they destroyed previously undefeated and #1 Texas in the Cotton Bowl 38-10.
Alabama also crushed their opponent #9 Ohio State (who already had 2 losses) in the Sugar Bowl 35-6.
This would have been a great year to have a +1 game after the bowl games and match up Bama and ND.
