A&M, SC, and Arky are much better fits than Mizzoo. Clemson, FSU or a NC/NCState would have been better.

SC belongs.

We understand that Mizzou has delivered neither KC nor St Louis, just not a football state. Amazed the nfl is still there. Not for much longer I bet. Birmingham is still the best college football market. Mizzou has done well so far, but as far as ratings go, Mizzou has been a big shite sandwich despite some success on the field. We so should have gone with West Virginia.

Missourians favor the Chiefs over Mizzou
Chiefs have the biggest stadium in Missouri, and always have

That's how it is in alot of "northern" states

I guess actual discussion is frowned upon around here.

Let’s see:

Mizzou = 2 SECCG appearances
USCe = 1 SECCG appearance
aTm = 0 SECCG appearance

Mizzou was brought into the leafue to bring us 2 major makrets, of which they did not. Is my point. We could have had West Virginia, but went with Mizzou because of population. We fricked up. Is all I am saying. Now ,we are stuck with you fools who not only don't fit in, but bring us nothing. Mizzou was a mistake from an SEC point of view. There is no denying it.

I think geography plays a part too. If Mizzou's schedule consisted of Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Illinois, Iowa, and Arkansas every year, you'd see a huge increase in attendance, whether Mizzou was good or bad. One problem Mizzou has is that it's geographic rivals, save for Arkansas, are either in the Big 12 or Big 10. It takes time for similar SEC rivalries to develop, especially when the teams you play are several hundred miles away from the state.

What you got against SCar? They are way down on the list of schools to be melting about. They're like the Moo State of the East. Leave em alone, they're not causing any trouble.

Paul Finebaum always uses those first 3 (Birmingham, Knoxville and Greenville) when he's arguing with a Midwesterner or West Coaster about the importance of college football in the South compared to other regions. It makes sense, you got Bama and Auburn with the first, Tennessee with the second and South Carolina and Clemson with the third.

You don't understand how the TV deals work. We most certainly "brought" two of the larger markets in the SEC. St Louis is the 5th largest TV market in SEC states. KC is 7th. Hell, even Springfield is in the top 20.

I have no idea where you came up with your list but it's ridiculously inaccurate.

I understand West Virginia has a lot more poor, fat and stupid people so yes I'd agree that they are a better "fit".

You're still fricking retarded though

Maybe, but they aren't watching Mizzou. Probably Bama

You're going by strictly college tv markets but that's not how it works.

The other list is most CFB viewers which would seem to be more relevant to a CFB station than overall viewers.
