I honestly don't know where this "Mizzou fans don't travel" nonsense is coming from, but for a fan base our size we travel fine.
Meh. I can't say about regular season games but there were a disappointing number of Mizzou fans in Atlanta this year. Looked like there were only a couple hundred there, including the band.

No shite. We played Nebraska in Auburn in the early 80's. There were shite tons of Nebraska people. Very nice. Showed up kicked our arse and left. No muss no fuss.

I think we still own the Liberty Bowl record. We travel pretty well for a school of 21-22k enrollment.

165. Number of Mizzou fans who went to Atlanta. Pathetic.

Not even close to accurate. There were plenty of Mizzou fans. Obviously more Bama fans, but it's way closer for them and their fan base is double the size of ours.
It was an easy 3 to 1 both years, but it is what it is.

I know about bowl participation...
Mizzou sucked at attending the Cotton BOwl last round. and I mean SUCKED!
TAMU sucked at Atlanta chick fila and Liberty last time...
GA sucked at Liberty
Trend... if you aren't in a higher tiered bowl, you don't participate. Georgia was tired of not winning big and showed their disappointment at the Liberty. I get it..
But TAMU was a surprise how bad it was last season, and Mizzou for the Cotton was unexcusable.

In football, I'd say LSU travels the best for away games and Bama travels the best for neutral site games. Tennessee, UGA and Texas A&M are all great as well.
Kentucky wins basketball running away and LSU is by far the best for baseball.

Surely you aren't referring to when we played Arkansas? We had more fans. I was there.
Attendance for the 14 Cotton Bowl was fine.

considering that it was the first time that most of the suites went dark (no ticket buyers) and tix were sold for half price by scalpers! Sure, Awesome... For comparison... TAMU vs OK, or AR vs K State games sold for 260.00 per ticket above face value on average.
Yes, I know...

We may not be the most consistent school in the SEC, but we have our moments of brilliance.

Bama in the SEC. Oklahoma and Notre Dame brought a shite load of people to NOLA when they played LSU.

You will never get alot of LSU fans going to that one because its Thanksgiving now. Its a shame though, many LSU fans won't get to experience the great time we had last year.

Considering Houstin has more LSU grads than all of LA and Dallas more than anyone outside of Hou, BR and NO, I don't think you can really count those.

There were considerably more Bama fans in 13 at Kyle than LSU in 12 also FWIW
It was a much bigger game though, early in the regular season and hyped in the offseason so that was probably why

I know when I make plans to visit an away game I do it way before the 2 week period when they announce the TV time.
Also the home team doesn't pick what time slot the game is in, we all hate 11 am games
