What were Arkansas, South Carolina, etc. a few years ago? They're now in competition for division titles. Missouri is capable of doing the same eventually.


True they act like Mizzou can't even beat ONE SEC team.

The lack of knowledge and respect on this board for Missouri (and especially Tennessee) is comical. Missouri absolutely smoked a really solid Arkansas team (McFadden, F Jones, Hillis) in the Cotton Bowl and has fared well against SEC teams in the last 40 years.

Tennessee has been a Top 10 program practically the entire history of the SEC despite a weak 4 or 5 year run.

There's no way any of the posters on this board making such ridiculous comments are over the age of 21.

As a Mizzou fan I will say the SEC brings a lot for us.

1)It adds prominence and may help us at keeping some in state talent that ordinarily might leave for other conferences.

2)It offers a place of stability where we have a chance to grow our brand among the best fans in the country.

3)We get away from Texas!

I'm not going to come here pounding my chest and say Missouri is going to be great in the SEC. But I will say if they continue to build like they have been they can possibly get to a point where they can possibly compete at a higher level.

As the new kids on the block I don't ask for you to give them respect because respect is earned not given. I will let the on-field games prove whether MU can compete or not. I'm just ready for the nightmare known as the Big 12 to be over and to start forming new relationships with the Universities of the SEC which is hopefully our new home.
