I feel bad for Iowa State. They're one of Mizzou's oldest rivals, and their fans deserve so much better than this. If Mizzou didn't have two big metros bookending it, we could've been left in the same situation. It's going to get pretty bleak for the smaller ACC and Big 12 programs who are going to continue to lag further and further behind as the B1G and SEC continue to consolidate power.

I really only watch two teams, so it doesn't matter all that much to me. If anything, this is better because there are lower odds that they play in the same slot these days.

Why did we teleport back to 1950?

I’m always excited for Mizzou football.

Hardy and Roberts are going to run all over these soft UVA boys.

80 degrees on Christmas, got rid of both NFL teams to make Mizzou the state’s pro team, and the basketball program turned into a dumpster fire as a sacrifice to growing the football program. We might be SEC after all.

Missouri joined the SEC and is doing its best to make Mizzou the State's only show in town to keep tradition with (most) SEC states.

His passing issues cost Mizzou a possible win vs. Bama. I really liked his running ability. I’m sure he’ll get picked up, just don’t know what level program will go after him & how much they’ll pay for him, when he can’t pass.

Agreed. And this thread lays bare which posters watched Mizzou in conference play this season. When we say Pribula can't pass, it isn't that much of an exaggeration. And I don't like taking shots at the kid, I really like him and we will always thank him for the epic kansas game. I hope he lands somewhere decent (not in the SEC) and proves us all wrong.

But as the season went on, you could see Pribula hesitate to make throws beyond about a five-yard check down, even when his receivers were open. He would just resort to tucking the ball and trying to run instead of even attempting downfield throws. It really became noticeable in the Alabama game, and was even worse in the Vanderbilt game (Mizzou nearly came back and won when Zollers entered the game in the third quarter for an injured Pribula).

His passing inaccuracy really hurt the offense. His injury was also a huge setback.

He couldn't throw the ball downfield worth a damn, especially along the sidelines. He also developed an unfortunate knack for breaking from the pocket early before he made his reads, running outside of his protection, and directly into a defensive end.

I mean, if he cared about academics, he would probably keep Missouri.

Mizzou is ranked 7th out of the 16 SEC schools by US News and it is one of six AAU schools in the SEC.
