Coupled with how cool the Aggie fans are to interact with at games as I've discussed above, CS has been by far my favorite Big 12 road trip destination this decade and its not close.
And we will be forever tied together as two teams that left the Big 12 together. I hate the 6-1-1 model because we aren't going to play the SEC East all to often, and I really don't give two fricks about Bama/UT or Auburn/Georgia so I would be completely against the 6-1-1 model EXCEPT for the newly created Mizzou/Arkansas game. I can't wait for you to start laying a yearly beat down on the piggies, and you will forever be my favorite SEC East team in all games. When those Dixie blowhards start losing to your Yankee arse it is going to be awesome.

OP: not accurate IMO...
Be careful gauging the pulse of alumni/fanbase based on chatboards such as this one. The troll factor is strong....See above post.
Most Aggies are respectful and gracious to be in this league and have realistic expectations..
"Living in the past" - not sure how that applies to us - regarding football...

Yeah I get that mixed up, is one located inside the other or something? Was there a name change? Sure felt like I was in the Dixie Chicken when I had it but it looked like there was either some sorta mutual building share or the name changed or overlapped, what gives?

LOL. To be fair though I only play up the "Missouri = Yankee" thing because that is the role that SEC Rant posters want us to play and won't take no for an answer. So I play it for all its worth. But honestly Missouri is at best a Dixie/Yankee mix and hodgepodge...the county that Columbia MO is located in has actually been called "Little Dixie" forever, the Mizzou band played "Dixie" at games up through the 1960s, MO was a border state claimed by both sides of the War, the Missourians who battled the jayhawker marauders from kansas and who burned Lawrence to the ground were Southern sympathizers, etc. But hey, if it snows a lot we must be Yanks, so who am I to disagree. ;)

I know I definitely agree, I just like the distinction, however arbitrary it is. Many Aggies clamored on about the "cultural" similarities to the deep south when the SEC thing was merely rumor, and while East Texas shares some cultural history with Louisiana, a college town in central Texas filled with kids from Dallas and Houston suburbs is far from anything to do with Dixie. It's just message board foder. At the end of the day, all of you use pork in your bbq instead of beef, and that is the true crime.

...except it doesn't snow much in Missouri, sooooo...
We're lucky to get one snow each winter in Springfield. I know spfld is further south, but still.

Okay what does "much" mean? Growing up in Dallas I expected one snow/ice event per year that essentially shut everything down. The city wouldn't pay for massive amounts of trucks for a half inch of ice one day a year, and no one had any earthly idea how to drive in it. If it ever just snowed, it never really stuck to the roads.
It snowed once in college station on the last day of my fall exams.
My Oklahoma relatives got a bit of snow, and I was snowed in for 4 days on Christmas in Shawnee, Oklahoma as a kid.
I can't imagine Missouri getting less snow than Oklahoma.

Yeah, you'll need to live vicariously through Mizzou as we all know that A&M will not be giving us yearly beat downs...

Aggies will own us. I've learned,however that in Aggie terminology, "owning" someone is beating them once every 3-4 years.

Clearly you have moved on from the fact that we're gone in T-27 days by the fact that every thread that mentions A&M seems to be the "sip signal" (in the shape of a giant cock...after all, sips love cock so much).

Currently living in Central Texas and having lived in Dallas a bit but having grown up in Columbia, Missouri, I can speak to this. The answer: by the standards of your region, in Missouri it absolutely snows a shite ton. And even more freezing rain/sleet than snow. And even more freeze your arse off weather even in times when its not snowing or freezing rain. Mind you this is confined to winters only, and Missouri summers though not as bad as Texas can get, can still get really damn bad and humid. But I've seen the city of Austin shut down just because there will "be snow" of any kind meaning if there are a few flakes with no accumlation its "OMG! SHUT..DOWN...EVERYTHING!" and I'm sure College Station is same way.
In Columbia, Missouri we have the salt trucks and it takes pretty much an epic blizzard (which does happen now and then) for the schools and businesses to actually close. I don't think the climate really changes all *that* much by time you get down to Sprangfield Misurrah, but I will defer to my Sensei Mr. 'Kills on that.
Man, now instead of Death Burger I want me some Sprangfield Missurah Chinese Cashew Chicken. Them thar's some good eats. Ozark meth-heads and Chinamen sharing recipes, cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria...

By the way I can't wait for the complete and utter Arky meltdown on here when the Piggie fans finally discover that the poster known as mizzoukills is, in fact, in truth, in cold hard reality, none other than...DGB.

I only experienced snow in College Station once in my life, so I can't really remember what it was like, but Dallas is just like Austin, but gets snow/ice once a year. I remember in high school that my health teacher was the basketball coach that had just gotten plucked out of somewhere in El Paso, and really liked me because one of my best friends was on the team and I was the only kid in that class that seemed like I could graduate college. Anyway there was a report of an inch or two of snow overnight, and he started getting flooded with emails, and kept telling everyone it was going to be fine. He called me over to just sort of ask if the parents were being overreactive freaks(this was in Plano, afterall) or if there was something he was missing.
We have a few salt trucks throughout the cities, but they really just focus on overpasses. What's really annoying is if they salt/sand the overpasses the night before and it doesn't end up hitting, and then it is just an obnoxious dust that sits on the highways for a week or two.
In Dallas, what might be a little different in Central Texas/Austin/College Station region is the tendency for it to ice as opposed to snow. From what I have heard, this is the primary reason, aside from shadiness, why the Fiesta Bowl was selected over the Cotton Bowl in the BCS.
What I also think is funny is this building in Downtown Dallas:
It is a really cool looking building, and really helps the Dallas skyline to be unique and distinguishable, but the slants have unintended consequences when it snows/ices on the street in front it, just dumping massive amounts of snow on it. I

ATX,
Dude, shut up! Don't blow my true identity! Not cool, man.
Spfld, MO weather is a lot different from Columbia, MO. The "I-44 corridor" is a weather channel term for a line that separates colder northern temps from warmer southern temps (and weather). Spfld can be 10-20 degrees warmer than Columbia, mo for much of the winter. When northern MO is getting snow and freezing temps, southern MO may get freezing rain at most. Like I said, spfld mo may be lucky to get 1 good snow each year.
I grew up 60 miles north of Columbia. Most of my family went to Mizzou. Ive lived in Spfld for 15 years. Trust me on this.
However, compared to Texas, all of missouri is cold as frick. Though, we can challenge y'all on heat every few years.

That is funny. My favorite incident was a couple years ago or so in Austin when we had a freezing rain incident, there was a massive car accident on I-35 caused by huge ice slick that resulted from owners of a business on the frontage road having LEFT THE SPRINKLER SYSTEM ON DURING A FREEZE. Good grief, Texas.

First impression? Mizzou fans get really excited if they get a recruit.
