I remember the heady days of Herman. Best coach available, hot prospect, can't miss.

If Mizzou lost Drink, I'd hope we made a run at Golesh.

My take was they took a guy out that needed to be taken out.
We aren't a good fit anywhere, never have been. Big 10 people look down on us because we were a "slave state" during the civil war. South looks down at us because we were "Yankees." You could read a book about it, or watch Josey Wales for the Cliff Notes version.
Our big cities were Union towns during the Civil War, at least St. Louis was, full of one book I read described as "Lincoln-loving Germans." We had a lot of southerners settle our rural areas in the southern half especially, but not exclusively, supporting the South. You can still see rebel flags in parts of Missouri.
Yes, it is true we don't neatly fit anywhere. I grew up in St. Louis and my wife and I looked at an Antebellum era house in Alton, Illinois that was for sale and the person showing the house said we were from Missouri (after we told them), which was a slave state, and part of the south, and this house was in a free state, and had tunnells in the basement made to help get freed or escaped black slaves settled in the North. That was just like 30 years ago.

Sounds about right actually.
Just keep winning boys, obviously touching nerves among the elite.

Yes, this argument used to bother me as a Mizzou fan, but I've learned to embrace it.
We beat a program like Florida or Tennesse, and they are down.
We beat tOSU and they are disinterested, because they lost their starting QB to the portal (because he was going to be replaced by the portal) and their star WR who was going to the NFL.
Okay, Just keep winning boys! Who cares who gives us any credit - none will!

Careful, the powers that be are a bit grumpy and don't want to hear from us commoners.

It's not the biggest win by a stretch.

What's interesting to me as tOSU fans are both so arrogant (and they have an elite program) but also so lacking in self confidence that they can't acknowlege when they get their arse beat by a team like Mizzou in a bowl game.
If they didn't want to play lesser bowl games (for them) they could have declined the invitation, but they showed up, lined up, and lost.
It's not that big of a deal. A lot of players that played in that game won the NC the next year, including Jack Sawyer - great ball player among many on that team.

You keep shifting goalposts.
No one is claiming Mizzou is an elite program such as tOSU.
But in the last game we kicked your arse. Those two things can both be true.

And the last win was a bowl game, Missouri running the football down the throat of Ohio State.

I recall Jack Sawyer, for one, playing in that game, and getting his arse blocked while Mizzou ran the ball down tOSU's throat to win it.
You might remember him from last years NC game and I believe he's in the NFL now.

re: Make SEC Southern again

Funny, before we joined the SEC and there was talk of Mizzou joining the Big 10, a common comment on Big 10 message boards was they didn't want us southern hicks at Missouri joining their prestigious and academically rigorous conference.
You will hear "fixin" in Missouri but it is unlikely you will hear it from a business person in St. Louis, but I assume you are telling the truth.
I was hanging out at a park in a creek in Missouri last year and a guy was walking by and I thought he wanted our spot on the gravel bar and I told him we were leaving and he could have it and he said oh we were over "yonder" and they were leaving too. You don't hear that much but you do hear some Appalachian in Missourah.

I can't think of a specific one right now - but Lane Kiffin.

Since we are doing movies, maybe some of you should re-watch Josey Wales.

I'd take us back to the Big 8 if I could but will have to settle for the SEC.
