Tails kicked ?? We lost by a TD with a white out and finished 6-7 for the year. They barely beat a mediocre team at home with a national audience.

Your real question is why SEC teams won't acknowledge or validate your request for relevance. Fear of traveling any direction to play has never been a factor.

It's because teams already pay a penalty for scheduling warm weather patsies. There is zero incentive to be miserably cold AND still take the hit to SOS.

Must be frustrating to still be considered unworthy in an age where everybody gets a medal.

You're right. Somehow the SEC wins the natty every year because we're pussies.

I don’t know, Bama went to penn a few years ago and looked pretty good.
Where are the northern teams coming to Bryant denney? Penn st is all I can think of fairly recently.

LSU played in GB and Syracuse. SEC teams would rather play where they can recruit...Dallas and Houston neutral site games are good places to go for recruiting and that is why SEC teams play those games in Texas.

I did not mean just Cincinnati but we can move games to Paul Brown Stadium. I prefer the experience at Nippert myself.

Maybe they should teach you about contracts at your commuter school. Most contracts have cancellation clauses, so schools that cancel are honoring the contract


They need to teach ethics and how to keep your word down South. A big reason why our country is in the shape that it is.

Couldn’t tell you. We are a northern school that doesn’t belong in the SEC.


Or so say the twice daily- Mizzou doesn’t belong threads.

Why do northern and midwest teams like Ohio State, Michigan, Notre Dame have to recruit players from the South to remain competitive?

Apparently you people don't have elite athletes.

The SEC should be glad to have a school outside of the traditional footprint.

These clowns on here don't realize their school presidents know Missouri is a good school.

that would be the 10th largest stadium in the SEC.

hell, add Paul Brown and Nippert together and you're still just barely bigger than the biggest SEC Stadiums.

CFP was in Indianapolis, and that is North of the Ohio Ocean.

Cancelling a contract, according to the cancellation clause in it, is not unethical.
