What is the point of this question? They have only been in the SEC a little over a decade so of course there has not been enough time to build rivalries.
They were added in a “must keep up” wave of mega cable tv funding and logistically so we could add aTm. But contrary to Rutgers and Maryland in the B10, Mizzou has done everything we could possibly ask of them. 2 SEC title games. Near perennial top 25 team. Facility upgrades. Much more than half this conference can say. If MSU had half of Mizzou’s success they would be media darlings.
What’s the point in continuously bitching about this? Most of you have never even been to Missouri. You don’t like it because they don’t “feel” southern enough to you by your grandfather’s standards. That’s it.
Elite BBQ, contiguous geographically, consistent red state, competitive program, great deer hunting. What else do you want from them to be southern enough?

The big ten added Maryland and Rutgers strictly for the television markets. Nobody gives a shite if they win, except for their fanbase. Which are relatively small compared to the other long timers in the conference.
Missouri was added because the Big Ten didn’t want them and the SEC also had big dollars to offer. All this to say, each conference added schools for different reasons

Florida isnt the more successful program since Missouri joined the SEC. What happened before realignment doesn't mean shite when comparing the programs in 2025. I wish we still played them every year.

We added Mizzou for exactly the same reasons as the B10 grabbed Rutgers and Maryland. The STL and KCMO cable subscribers paying $4 a month for SEC Network whether they wanted it or not. The difference is Mizzou is actually holding its own while the B10 is starting to already implode with too much dead weight under new streaming funding models. See Ohio St already asking for unequal revenue.

They could got 16-0 for a decade straight (they won't obviously lol) and I'd still forget they're in the SEC every year.

Arkansas isn't your rival. You have only played them 16 total times with 11 of them being since you joined the SEC.
It's a forced paring because they wanted to give us A&M

That article leaves out one major point: Nebraska was willing to accept a partial revenue share for the first 6 years, Missouri would not.
Posted on 9/19/25 at 11:14 am to AshleySchaeffer
OU,Texas and A&M are the only remotely correct answers.

Mizzou also unfairly gets compared in a grouping with the other 3 recent additions. One is not like the others scenario. The reality is the SEC dominated with the Texas, OU, and aTm additions. 2 blue bloods. Massive stadiums and fan bases. Elite revenue generators for decades to come. But Mizzou more than holds their own compared to anyone in the bottom half of the SEC.

Asking and getting are two separate things

No one in the SEC takes Missouri seriously.

I'm saying they could theoretically dominate the SEC and most of us would never think about them.
There's just something inherent about that program that makes them incredibly forgettable.
Posted on 9/19/25 at 11:41 am to AshleySchaeffer
Obviously their geographic rivals are Arkansas, OU and Tennessee which is a good balance in terms of strength of schedule.

Give Mizzou these 3:
OU
Vandy
Miss St
OU
Vandy
Miss St

Most of the games we have had terrible coaches sadly..Spurrier and Meyer teams would have made you a bye week. Sadly, we are nobodies like you now. Napier is absolutely terrible.

You sound like pig too, with that stupid "shitty coach at the time" excuse. Get used to the new normal.

This is PRECISELY the reason. Too many don't understand. They're viewing it from the (at the time) broadcast ratings perspective.
Lot's and lot's of Cardinal, Royals, Chiefs, Blues etc. and yes, Mizzou fans wanted that sports tier and the SEC got paid because of it.

How stupid are you to talk trash to Mizzou?
Remember when you thought you were going to run over Mizzou in the Cotton Bowl? hahaha How'd that work out for ya? Did Mizzou's Tony Temple run for like 500 yards and set the Cotton bowl record? How'd Dmac do that game?
How's the past decade been for lil ol arky when playing Mizzou?
Or how about the fact that arky has NEVER been to a SEC Championship!!!!!!! While Mizzou has already been twice.
arky you are even more embarrassing than lil ol Mizzou which according to this board means you should just shut down your program.

hey ashley
Florida is 6-7 all time vs Missouri.
Seems this thread didn't really go the way you were planning by trying to make Mizzou look stupid only to find out the gaytors have a losing record against Mizzou lol
You people are pathetic.
