Don't worry, anytime Missouri does anything in sports, NCAA will have an investigation about something minor compared to what KU does and they'll stick a KU grad in there to help with the investigation. That'll kill the program for a couple years. Happened with the Detroit connection, Crudup, and the tutor scandals. Meanwhile, KU got away with an infraction that would have killed any non-blue blood program without any meaningful penalty.

re: Which Universities have threatened to leave the SEC?

Sankey is attempting to usher in one of those massive changes himself by advocating that the SEC go from 12 teams to 16.
It was a poorly written article. Could be talking about Sankey wanting to expand CFP from 12 to 16 teams or could be talking about Sankey mentioning expanding SEC to 20 team super conference which has been speculated about but I don't remember Sankey ever mentioning it. Probably a conflation of the two together.
The writer also possibly conflated the ideas that teams want to leave the SEC with the more likely idea that teams in the SEC are in favor of leaving the NCAA. If that's the case, I'd still wonder which teams.

There has only ever been one tournament in Arkansas. I think we went to Seattle when we won the national championship and played the title game against Duke in Charlotte. You're not supposed to have a home court advantage.
Nobody ever plays in their home campus and that wasn't the discussion. The real measure is how far they have to travel from campus, if they have a fan base at that location, and if the location is more favorable to the team they are playing. Fayetteville isn't located centrally in the state whereas Columbia is.
For instance, although Memphis is 10 minutes from the Arkansas border and there is a good fan base from Arkansas there, but it's still over 4.5 hours away from Fayetteville so I wouldn't count that if Arkansas was playing there. But I would count Tulsa, Oklahoma City, and Kansas City depending on who they play which are shorter drives.
In total, Arkansas has played over 15 NCAA tournament games within driving distance of Fayetteville. No, it's not the same as the advantage North Carolina had when they played Arkansas 1.5 hours away from NC campus in a different state, but it was still within driving distance.
For Missouri, I would have counted Wichita as a game that was close enough to Columbia because of the larger fan base in Kansas City if Drake didn't have half their team and their coach from a much closer distance. Omaha was also a decent location even though it was a bit longer drive.

"On the other hand, while Sankey is thinking of expansion, some schools have threatened to leave the SEC. He even noted recently that several member schools are looking to leave the SEC and operate as an independent entity not affiliated with the NCAA"

Unlike KU which gets 2 home games each time no matter what their rank
Drake University had most of it's roster who came from within 3 hours of Wichita.
Duke 1 hour away, Georgia only 4 hours away
southern ill only 4 hours away
Morgantown WV to Buffalo NY 4.5 hours
UCLA in San Jose - Number of UCLA fans are far greater in Northern Cal than Mizzou fans (I was at that game)
Texas in Dallas (3 hours)
Xavier in Indianapolis (2 hours)
Lamar 4 hours
LSU 4 hours

re: Mizzou plays in STL first round. So far, nobody cares
Posted by tpatten on 3/16/26 at 2:55 pm to Cheese Grits
Yes, but more importantly, Mizzou is used to playing other teams in the NCAA tournament who do have more of a home court advantage.
re: Remember all the times the backwards tribe of Ozark idiots said the SEC tourny was
Posted by tpatten on 3/16/26 at 2:54 pm to Ridgewalker
The Ozarks are in Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and arguably Illinois depending on whether you believe the experts who think the Shawnee Hills are part of it or the experts who do not think that.
However University of Arkansas is the only SEC university located in the Ozarks.

Mizzou hasn't played an NCAA tournament game inside the state of Missouri since 1982. They also played twice in Missouri in 1944.
True. St. Louis and Kansas City are both below the latitude of the Mason-Dixon Line. Jesse James lived just south of it in Northern Missouri. St. Joseph, MO is just north of it.
Just have to ignore the threads you don't want to be a part of and start threads on things you want to discuss. Ironically, by adding your thread, you've just contributed to another topic about LSU.

All I see is the higher you are on this list...the shittier your coaches are at development and the crappy your recruit evaluation is.
This is what I'm feeling is the pattern for with Mizzou QBs.
If he wouldn't have been held, that was actually a catchable ball. It came down where receiver would have been.
re: How often does a great defense actually beat a great offense?
Posted by tpatten on 1/8/26 at 10:47 am to sorantable
I've seen a lot of great defenses eventually look mediocre because their offensive unit keeps putting them in difficult spots every game all game. So I'd say, a great defensive football team rarely wins against a great offensive football team without a lot of balance. They may win the first half, but often get worn down.
re: The agreement Demond Williams signed with Washington included a provision. Uh oh, LSU.

Many lawsuits are settled that way. Drawing out months until it doesn't matter anymore and the one that could afford the time and the money wins. Microsoft use to do business that way when they'd take other companies' IP.

but the picture I was posted was from pushing brush into the burn pile and got stuck. Couldn't get it out so had to bail
I've had this happen too. Got a bit too close and then couldn't get out. Was able to tow it away from the burn pile while it was catching fire and then put it out. But it happened fast. Very scary situation. Prayers for him. That was probably my favorite Texas team though I liked the teams with Vince Young too. McCoy would have probably won you guys the national championship if he had been healthy.

But you have 103 posts in 12 years and you’re a Mizzou fan white knighting for Ole Miss
I use to mainly discuss SEC sports at two other websites. SDS no longer has commentary on their articles and the other made us reverify email by sending an email to administrators and it just wasn't worth it as it was mostly just a Mizzou site and administrators were poor.
Kiffin crossed a line. That's all there is to it. Doesn't matter if it's Ole Miss or whatever school. Ole Miss administration doesn't sound innocent either, so if Kiffin had decided to take the high road then everyone would be blasting Ole Miss right now. And I think we can agree that the Ole Miss players are the ones being harmed right now even though that harm may be minimized if they can manage to win out.

I thought Kiffin wanted to coach the Rebels in the playoffs, but Keith Carter didn’t allow it.
Kiffin both offered to both coach and to poach according to articles.
"Kiffin is essentially threatening to poach Ole Miss' roster and coaching staff if he is not allowed to finish coaching the 2025 season with the Rebels."
Not surprising though because he did try to poach a QB from Texas A&M also.
LSU's Lane Kiffin attempts to poach SEC QB with bold 9-word message.
Nobody blames Kiffin for taking another job. If that's all it was, nobody would have a problem with him.

How pissed off were Mizzou fans when LSU hired Baker back.
Nobody was pissed about Baker. Baker was nothing but class in how he handled himself. It's just another made up point by you that you've failed to back up.
Funny how you have to keep resorting to changing what I said and putting your new words into quotes to try to bolster your argument rather than actually using facts you come up with yourself.

Wouldn't be the first person that thought they could pull a double salary from two places at the same time.
