Not me. OU is closer and brings a new TV market as well. They would instantly be our biggest rival. I fricking hate those figs, but would much prefer them to MU.

Missouri is Liberal Yankee, OU is at least redneck

@ hoginthesw.

That was truly ignorant coming from a Georgian. Those candy asses are still pissing and moaning about Sherman.

Missourians suffered immeasurably worse than Georgians during the War Between the States. Not only that, but Georgians think it all began with Fort Sumter and ended at Appomattox Courthouse. Missourians started fighting it years earlier and kept fighting it years later.

Were there Yankees in Missouri? Of course so, just as there were in northern Georgia, northern Alabama and eastern Tennessee. But no one experienced anything as intensely personal and violent as the Missourians.

We've also played Okie State like 40 times in our history so we actually have some history with them as opposed to Mizzou.

I get that but I I'm thinking about basketball.

The MA transition sets it up to be a great rivalry.

Plus Idgaf about the pokes in football.

"Mondo" is purportedly someone inside the Texas legislature.

The track is gone, but we still have boulders in the hill beyond the north end zone.

I'm not sure they will remain though with the planned expansion to 81,000 seats.

And Okie State has an above-average basketball program which would give Arkansas some competition there.

I think it's being overlooked; I understand the fixation with OU but they want to stay with Texas and Texas and the SEC want no part of each other.

During the Civil War, Missouri had the third most battles, only behind Virginia and Tennessee. In the first year of the Civil War, 42% of the battles were fought in Missouri.

One fourth of the Union army was kept in Missouri to try to control the state. The Union forces overthrew the elected Missouri government.

Here is a decent brief article on Missouri's southern ties.

Oklahoma State - What do they bring to the table?
Absolutely nothing
. . .unless you're interested in wrestling.

Men's basketball is competitive (which in the SEC West means they beat everyone not named Arkansas).

Arkansas hasn't made the tournament since 2008. They have a rich basketball history, but they have been pretty mediocre recently. Ags should have little problems in the SEC West.

I thought after they dumped Wimp Sanderson they cancelled the program. After all the best b-ball player ever from Alabama played at Auburn!
