I don't think they will be a yearly doormat by any means. Lost in the middle. Yes, absolutely. Chance at playing in the SEC Title Games, slim.

Just for clarity, I was not implying that you were.

It was more a comment directed at the generalizations directed towards our program by some.

One thing that has always held our program down a bit was our inability to lock up our borders in recruiting. There are many inside the program that think a move to the SEC will help the University accomplish this, coupled with the diminished standing of the Big 12 and its instability.

I am no prophet, nor am I an expert, but there is little doubt that the reality is the program moving to the SEC IS the best chance at winning when compared to the current Big 12.

We are an underachiever. We do have potential.

You have to take a proverbial shot down field once in a while and this is Mizzou's attempt.
