I would have to agree that the SEC is the best college football conference in America! Like I said the fans would not mesh well due to the conservative nature of the culture in MO. I think you have proven that fact with your reply. Please go back back to your hole in Jasper Alabama! Roll tide down the bowl-Roll tide Roll.

And do you think OU fans would mesh well. I hear people wanting OU because of the state of Oklahoma. Um Oklahoma is more western than southern. Missouri would fit into the SEC culture wise waaaaaaay better than Oklahoma. I live on the MO/OK border. Plus Oklahoma is very much into their separate Indian "nations". More Indian pride than "Southern" pride.

Good question. OU fans would be more passionate about college ball unless you are talking about the rural areas like Miami. I would say yes due to the passion as a whole for college ball instead of the pro game.

Even if they had lost it's not like LSU hasn't had embarrassing losses: Houston, UAB, Colorado St., USM, etc.

This doesn't have anything to do with North and South. It's about money. Slive wants the St.Louis and Kansas City TV markets. Taking another team from FLA, GA or SC does not add much revenue. Adding a team from NC or Missouri does. $$$$$$$$

True when you get the KC market you also get about 10 counties in Kansas and with the STL market you run into about 6-7 counties in Illinois. So you're not only getting Missouri, you're going into the suburbs in Kansas and Illinios.

You just compared MO to MD (also not the south, genius).

I'm calling you out, dipshit. Cite it chapter and verse where I compared Missouri to Maryland. Do it, punk. You can't.

Wife is a Mizzou alum from Springfield. I agree with another poster, the culture is a mix of Southern/Midwest. The dialect is not as colorful as down here, but they can BBQ like nobody's business and the wife learned several southern recipes from her mom that rocked my world. Have been to Columbia and can tell you it is a very cool college town. They are passionate about their football. Not, of course, as rabid as we are in BR. But close enough.

I lived in Missouri, it is kind of wierd.
There are lots of instances where there are people living in the same town, have always lived there, and their families have lived there forever who southern and their neighbors in the exact same place and with the exact same family situation are yankees.
You can literally tell in lots of instances if someone's great granddady sided with the south or the north.
A good friend of mine was from Centralia. That is north of Columbia and on the edge of "Little Dixie". The town's claim to fame is a Civil War incident where Bloody Bill Anderson captured a train load of Union soldiers and put over a hundred of them to the sword on the spot. My friend's dad was a southern as he could be. In fact, he was horrified to hear that we considered them Yankees. Yet, my friends maternal grandmother was a yankee. She was like that old woman from Kansas on the Outlaw Josey Wales. She talked differently and acted differently. And I found that all through Missouri.
Missouri is full of lots of normal good people but it has lots of yankees too.

And after he did Archie Clement personally walked on each one of their dead bodies to see if any were faking it. That is just one of many examples of how intensely personal and violent the War Between the States was in Missouri.

Most of the traditional south is dead. I grew up in north east Mississippi and it is not the same mississippi I grew up in. In some ways that is a good thing and in a lot of ways it's not. The days of drawing a line and stereotyping people because of where they are from is not as easy as it once was.
That being said, I don't think Missouri fans have the passion of sec fans. My wife is a missouri alum and I spent about three months after we got married converting her into hard core bama fan. They just don't live football in the fall like we do.

Very true. I see more Arkansas and OU stuff in Southern Missouri instead of Mizzou. Don't know about Mid Missouri and Northern MO, they might support Mizzou waaay more.

I don't know how old your wife is but that could be because at the time Mizzou had NOTHING to cheer over. There was a time in the Nineties when LSU football embarrassed me.
Based on fans and alumni if Mizzou joins the SEC then they could play their game with Ole Miss somewhere in the Bootheel and the crowd would be about 50/50.
