This is actually pretty accurate

the IRL arky fans were big supporters of mizzou joining and are glad that we did because there is such a large cultural overlap in Southern MO and Northern AR.


I'm enjoying it. I have a good buddy who's a Mizzou fan. We thinking of taking road trip to Columbus. Of coarse I'm like minutes away from Missouri line do there is a lot if mingling.

It was A&M's bonus addition.

I was always against expansion, 12 was perfect.

When they announced A&M I was like, meh, alright, that's passable, I can live with that. They have a history with Arkansas and LSU and Alabama (via Bear and Stallings) so they kinda fit.

But Missouri? Bleh, still don't think of them as SEC.

Despite the history of the Civil War, most people do not view Missouri as a Southern state.

They were added because the SEC needed a 14th team to even things out and nobody else better was available.

They were the "BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!" Portion of a Ron Popiel ad.

Slive was simply trying to order a Pocket Fisherman.

The real reason Mizzou was invited into the conference is because Arkansas needed a rival. The conference finally realized that 20 years' worth of forced "rivalries" with Arkansas had failed.


Must have been a super secret they didn't want anyone to know since they placed them in separate divisions and didn't have them play their first year...idiot

The conference is building suspense. The first Mizzou/Arkansas game will be the biggest conference game of the season. Sorry you are a fan of an unimportant team. No need to take out your frustration on everyone else. Idiot.

It's going to be so epic that Johnny Manziel and his entourage of celebrities will be there. Gameday will be there to witness this historic matchup between two SEC powerhouses and long time heated rivals. Riot police will be there to control the masses. There is going to be capacity of 74,000 people in attendance. Epic shite man, epic shite will go down. Looking forward to this.

It will indeed be epic. But perhaps not as epic as your 5th place finish in the SEC last year. I mean, not every 5th place team can run shite, ya know!!!

Kills.....if Mizzou couldn't compete in the Big 12, why in the hell do you think they could ever dominate the SEC? Mizzou is not a threat to the big dogs in the SEC now, and they never will be
